Is L.A. City Councilman TONY CARDEAS Hi-Jacking the LAX Concessions Process? (Are We Handing It Over To Organized Crime Ring?)

[HERE'S SOMETHING SOMEONE TOOK THE TIME TO TYPE AND EMAIL, AND THE THOUGHT DOES INDEED TRIGGER MY BIPOLAR, EVEN WORSE...SO I CAN AT LEAST COPY AND PASTE IT INTO THIS BLOG POST FOR OTHERS TO SEE.]

Zumadogg,

I read your post on Cardenas and his sister. Are you aware of how Tony Cardenas has personally hijacked the LAX Concessions process and is refusing to hold public hearings?

Cardenas somehow lucked into the position of Chair of the Board of Referred Powers, which is in charge of looking into the LAX RFP. This happened because the airport commissioner "neglected" to inform anyone that he owned $1 million in CPK stock while he was overseeing the bidding process for the airport. No matter, HMS Host and CPK lost every bid and are about to be kicked out of the airport after 45 years. But not if Cardenas can help it.

He has held fundraisers at companies that are part of the HMS Host group, at the same time he has canceled at least 5 meetings on LAX at the last minute. According to others on the Board of Referred Powers, Cardenas has made it his personal mission to upset the LAWA decision and force a redo. I wonder how much Camachos is paying him, or HMS Host.

Keep an eye on the news. He can't turn enough board members himself, so he is using procedural tricks to keep this thing from ever concluding.

[SOUNDS LIKE LAX CONCESSIONS ARE ABOUT TO BE TAKEN OVER BY A SOPHISTICATED CRIME RING. NJ has Tony Sorprano. LA has Tony Cardenas.]
