A Nasty Rumor from Zuma's Inbox

I tried to vet this rumor out today at City Hall, but nothing but the brush off and combativeness with the CM's office when I tried to investigate.

THIS COULD BE A CLUE TO SOME PEOPLE: "recta ice tiger'

If I had a few bucks, I could check it out, online...but I can't afford that luxury...so, I'll post the rumor, without mentioning the name, and maybe the CM's office would like to call Zuma Times at 213-785-7272 to deny this nasty rumor that I feel comes from someone who believes this to be a valid rumor. (As opposed to setting ZD up with their own self-made rumor.)

a) I called in the morning for a denial...no response;

b) then aksed to speak with someone from the office today at the CM meeting;

c) and called again this afternoon.

So looks like they are avoiding a denial to Zuma Times. (I was quite passionate in my pursuit of a denial.) A simple denial from the CM's office would have prevented me from posting this much (until I have some kind of court document, or something), but this ain't a newspaper...it's a blog; and I am wondering if anyone else has heard the rumor and can confirm, or deny it, since the CM's office isn't denying it.

I'M NOT SAYING THIS IS TRUE...I'M JUST SAYING IT IS A RUMOR --- AND LET'S FACE IT...WHEN THEY START SENDING IT TO ZUMA TIMES...IT'S GOING TO BE COMING OUT ANYWAY.

From ZD's Inbox: I heard a rumor that Councilmember (L.A. City CM) hit a kid in Echo Park while going home in the city owned vehicle??? Is it true? The alleged event occurred a month or two ago. I heard it again tonight while listening to anther's conversation. Is it true, a rumor, or a close guarded secret? Yeah, I'm nosey, I want to know!

If so, this may affect City business if this is true, and if circumstances end up requiring the person to do some time. (Worse case scenario.) So has anyone heard this rumor; and know it to be true, or false.

(THIS THREAD MAY COME DOWN AT ANY TIME BASED ON MY LEVEL OF COMFORTABLENESS, AND AS I INVESTIGATE FURTHER. AND IF SOMEONE PAYPALS ME $6.00, I CAN CHECK IT OUT FURTHER ONLINE.)
