FAMILY RESEMBLANCE?
Hopefully not in the areas of fraud, waste and abuse.

Last week, Zuma Dogg broke the news on LA Daily Blog.com that Villaraigosa was going to muscle out the other two major candidates running for Nucklehead Nunez's Assembly seat. (Click here for original story.)
First, LA Daily Blog broke the news that ZD's amigos Arturo Chavez dropped out last week because he didn't want to be "divisive". (Code for, "It's not my turn, I have to wait in line like a good soldier and Antonio will take care of me down the line.)
Nucklehead Nunez denied in the Sacramento Bee that he knew anything about Ricardo Lara (Nucklehead Nunez's staffer) dropping out. (See this story for how these deals works.)
And Zuma Times doesn't know if Lara ACTUALLY dropped out yet, but that's just a matter of semantics...because:
LOS ANGELES MAYOR ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA JUST APPOINTED RICARDO LARA TO THE BOARD OF PLANNING COMMISSIONERS...GUARANTEEING HIM A JOB UNTIL JUNE 30TH 2011 (pending City Council approval): So look for Lara to drop out, if he hasn't already at the time of this post (if he hasn't announced it yet) -- leaving Villaraigosa's own cousing, John Perez as the only major candidate.
AND TO MAKE MATTER EVEN MORE INTERESTING...LARA IS REPLACING SABRINA KAY AS THE PLANNING COMMISSIONER. Remember Sabrina Kay? She is the fashion designer who Villaraigosa also felt was a planning expert and flew her to Asia with him to help put her fashion line in retail outlets. (All in the name of the L.A. economy.) But she is also someone who has been rumored to be MUCH MORE than just a Planning Commissioner in Antonio's life. Maybe that's why she is being replaced. (I mean you couldn't have Mirthala working for the City, so maybe the mayor feels Sabrina shouldn't be an appointed commissioner for the same reason.)
(News before it happens)
