READ THIS ABOUT RICHARD ALARCON'S LATEST SHADY (MAFIOSA STYLE TACTICS) PROJECT - THE GUY NEEDS TO BE LOCKED UP!

Not the biggest fan of Mayor Sam's (dark energy) blog these days, but today there is an important post from a writer, so good, it makes ZD jealous. So I wanted to post it to punish the corrupt A-hole (a-CON) with added Google search engine action.

EXCERPT: Why is the City of Los Angeles building a truck driving academy on an uncapped landfill zoned Open Space? It is not in the approved closure plan.

The answer to why can be summed up in one man: Richard alarCON. The “how” however, is a complex tale of decades of Mafia-esque behavior, illegal activity, and environmental injustice.

Lopez Canyon: Open Space Battleground

by Petra Fried in the City

Editor's note: On June 15th, the Planning and Land Use Management committee of the Los Angeles City Council will hear case number ZA-2009-3619-ZV-1A: Richard Alarcon's plan to put a Truck Driving Academy on top of a closed landfill on a hill in the middle of a residential community in the Northeast San Fernando Valley.

The Truck Driving Academy will be run by a non-profit but backed by a powerful union. The plan paves 1.5 acres of the Open Space while bringing more trucks onto the closed landfill property and into the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The free land comes with a five year lease with two possible five year renewals to the school.

On the PLUM committee is Reyes, Huizar, and Alarcon's next-door neighbor, CD 2 representative Paul Krekorian. Most of Krekorian's constituents as well as constituent groups that got him elected are resoundingly against Alarcon's project.
