VIDEO (04.26.16): @ZumaDogg at #LAPD COMMISSION

• (ABOVE VIDEO): ZD heard the LAPD Commissioners are WAY out of control, in their violations of FEDERAL Public Comment/First Amendment/Free Speech law. TRUE THAT! As I walked through the doors of the LAPD Commission meeting (April 26, 2016) -- Chief Charlie Beck was shouting, like a school girl, at the speaker (Tut Hayes, during the previous comment #4); in MASSIVE violation of the Federal ORDER, that I won, vs. City of Los Angeles. Steve Soboroff piles on, too. RESULT: ZUMA DOGG EXPLAINS THE WAYS OF THEIR ERRORS; AND INSTRUCTS THE POLICE COMMISSION TO, "JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" (Wow, did that feel good.) Mr. Dogg also addresses Mitch Englander's decietfulness of, "police officer," claim, as Board of County Supervisor candidate.

Visit Los Angeles, California: Live The Whole World In One Day!

During today's Los Angeles City Council meeting, a group of hotel operators showed up in support of a new 1% tax on hotel rooms to kick into a marketing campaign to promote tourism in Los Angeles.

The gripe of council being that other city's like San Diego, Las Vegas, etc. are (out)spending on tourism marketing. And tourism is (was) L.A.'s biggest thing going.

So not to debate whether the city should tack on an (approx) 1% tax to help market tourism, but as a marketing strategy challenge, Zuma Dogg has come up with a concept toward the goal of marketing tourism in Los Angeles.

When coming up with any marketing campaign, first thing you do is recognize/identify what the strength of the product is. (What is the unique/competitive market advantage? Cause if there isn't one...you're screwed before you start.)

BUT, in THIS case, there IS a competitive angle: The cultural diversity of Los Angeles with all it's cities within the city. (Koreatown, Chinatown, Little Ethiopia, Little Tokyo, East L.A., etc. -- plus, beaches, Hollywood attractions, Sunset Strip...a lot of WORLD FAMOUS things/people...AND all the things people can do in surrounding cities that L.A. City can use to attract people to the area, through LAX, like Disneyland, 3rd St. Promenade, Malibu, Rodeo Dr., etc. (Don't shy away from these things, just cause they aren't in L.A. City. Tourists see it all as ONE trip/vacation...and L.A. hotels will benefit by these attractions, as will the L.A. economy, in general.)

The initial slogan that popped into mind, based on all of the above was: "Visit Los Angeles: Experience The World In A Day."

Premise being you can wake up at a Spa Hotel in the Marina; have fun at Venice Beach; a drive up Sunset Blvd to Sunset Strip, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Little Ethiopia, Beverly Hills/Rodeo Drive, Koreatown, Chinatown, Little Tokyo...East L.A. for a taste of Mexico...Experience L.A. for the BEST that the world has to offer! Travel the world in a day! Live the WHOLE WORLD in one day! (No other city can say that!)

L.A. TOURISM TWEET: "With so much cultural, artistic beauty splashed throughout the landscape, you see a world's museum on our streets as you drive across town."

L.A. TOURISM TWEET: "The best, most authentic Chinese, Mexican or Mediterranean meal you've ever had could be right through that squeaky screen door."

L.A. TOURISM TWEET: "L.A.: A city that needs to have what it takes to cater to the stars. If you come here, we can cater to you. Book your stay, now."

L.A. TOURISM COMMERCIAL: "In Los Angeles, the best things in life are FREE! (Show Marina Del Rey park, Venice Bike path of the ocean/mountain view, etc.)"

That's the concept...maybe I'll shoot the video with my camcorder and post it on YouTube.

SHOCKER!: DWP SLOW (inefficient/shady) to Spend FEDERAL STIMULUS MONEY (No Problem...No Hurry, At All...)

MAAAAAAAAAAAN, every one of these audit findings is a Zuma Dogg blast from the past, as I remember EXACTLY where I was when I exposed this stuff, two years before the media talks about it through City Hall press releases.

Cause I remember the Coffee Bean parking lot, when my union inside connection was telling me a whole bunch of workers who were excited to go to work on projects with all this Obama stimulus money, were sitting around in their trucks drinking beer and smoking weed, waiting around for the projects. (Aka: THE MONEY WASN'T BEING SHOVELED OVER FOR ALL THOSE "SHOVEL READY" PROJECTS. (I think the shovels were shoveling it, elsewhere. Like to help absorb all their spilled budget money milk.)

DWP slow to spend federal stimulus money, L.A. Controller finds inefficient

Los Angeles City Controller Wendy Greuel found that the city’s utility has been slow to spend its $112.7-million share of federal stimulus dollars and that the department’s initial estimates of jobs created in the program may not have been accurate and lacked documentation.

The city received about $630 million in stimulus grants and loans, but Los Angeles officials have struggled to spend the money quickly because of extensive employee furloughs and the city’s lengthy processes for awarding grants and contracts.

Though President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act launching the program in February 2009, Greuel’s new audit found that Los Angeles had only spent about a third of its stimulus money by the end of 2010. The city’s spending rate has lagged behind that of other big cities such as New York, Chicago and Minneapolis, according to its own analysis.

The city’s Department of Water and Power, which is the largest publicly owned water and power utility in the nation, received about 18% of the city’s share for upgrades of major water pipelines, energy efficiency programs and a demonstration project to help modernize the city’s electrical grid.

Greuel found that delays in starting some of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant projects -- which include energy retrofits of nonprofit organizations and renewable energy projects for residences -- have created a risk that the department will not be able to meet the guidelines set by the federal government for spending the money.

Utility officials said they would comment on Greuel’s report sometime Thursday.

The controller also found inconsistencies with stimulus job counts, as she has in other city departments. There was considerable confusion about how jobs should be counted early in the program and federal officials ultimately changed the guidelines — recovery act jobs are now based on totaling up the number of hours employees work on a stimulus project.

Greuel’s report said DWP officials initially counted the jobs created on the city’s Smart Grid Demonstration Project, a joint effort with several area universities, based on estimates instead of hours worked. Utility officials told Greuel they had addressed that problem by the second quarter of 2010, and have corrected other issues mentioned in the audit.

The report was Greuel’s fourth tracking progress on stimulus spending “and unfortunately all of the audits bring up similar problems,” she said.

“While I am hopeful that the new [stimulus] coordinator brought on by the Mayor’s office will help expedite this money being spent, actions speak louder than words,” Greuel wrote in her report.

EXCLUSIVE: ZUMA DOGG MEMO TO CITY on Federal Venice Beach Lawsuit Settlement Issues -- AND DETAILS ON NEXT LAWSUIT vs City of Los Angeles (To Be Filed by DOWD/DOGG!)ci

HERE'S A PEEK INTO THE BEHIND THE SCENES WORLD OF ZUMA DOGG: Here's an email I just typed up and sent to someone at City Hall regarding the DOWD/DOGG lawsuit vs City of Los Angeles, that they lost to us recently, but are kinda not giving us the respect we won, as winners, when it comes to writin' the damn check. SO HERE'S SOMETHING FROM TODAY, cause it keeps getting worse for them the longer they wait. Here's what got worse for them, over the weekend:

Dear City of Los Angeles/(Defendant):

In the Federal Judge's injunction, near the top it says, "The settlement agreement was the culmination of intensive meetings and negotiations between the parties and community stakeholders, with the aid of the Court, in an effort to draft an ordinance."

AGAIN, I'm a newcomer to this...but I CAN'T BELIEVE a FEDERAL JUDGE would violate separation of judicial and legislative powers by admitting to "with the aid of the court." I really DO think it means COMPLETE and 100% LOSS of EVERYTHING in the ordinance, not yet ruled on, for the city.

Maybe he KNOWS he made a boo-boo and figured the error would never be exposed, cause of a settlement that would result with an injunction. But, Dowd/Dogg are now, most likely, going for summary judgment...and if we didn't like the result, the judge's error would be exposed in 9th circuit court of appeals, and I'm CERTAIN that THEY are aware of the separation of powers. (AGAIN, I can't understand it. But I guess this kind of stuff happens.) 

Matt thinks the judge did it on purpose, to stick it to the city, since the city has been such a pain in his butt all these years and refused to settle as they should have, long ago, leaving us this outlet if we ever figured it out. (WE DID!)

SO NOW, it keeps getting worse, the more the city delays, cause now we caught wind of what the judge said on Friday, reminding DOWD/DOGG about this violation of separation of powers. (As Judge Mohr noted during Friday's Medical Marijuana ruling/loss for the city.)

IT'S ALL VERY FASCINATING TO ME.

NEXT FEDERAL LAWSUIT: Meanwhile, the city took down the posted signs with the rules for "P" zone on the boardwalk, that said you needed to display a "Donations" placard from the city. I REPEAT...the city TOOK DOWN the posted rules, after the injunction...BUT HAVE NOT POSTED NEW RULES...HOWEVER, they are writing tickets to people for not having the city placards. SO I AM CREATING A NEW LAWSUIT BASED ON THAT, cause I don't think someone is required to have to go to a city office to get a city created placard. If a placard IS INDEED required, someone should be able to produce their own. WHAT'S WITH THIS HAVING TO GO TO THE OFFICE TO DISPLAY A CITY PLACARD...AGAIN, it's the United States of America. I don't know what the hell country the city thinks they are operating in, to be honest with you. So I guess I have to remind them, again. Because, again: The city took down the rules. If they WERE posted...that's because they NEEDED to be posted. YET THEY ARE NOT, but LAPD is still writing tickets. SO ANOTHER LAWSUIT IT IS...on top of the summary judgment that Matt and I are currently typing up.

The Plaintiff

NOTICE TO CITY OF LOS ANGELES: Plaintiff in Civil Rights Lawsuit To Be Filed Against City Decides on Settlement Amount To End This FEDERAL Matter, In Whole

[PICTURED: Look for Plaintiff David Saltsburg to be making his first appearance at an L.A. City Council meeting (as televised on TV 35 and http://LACity.org) to discuss this matter with Mr. Parks and whoever else pays attention to stuff like this during Tuesday's general public comment.]

L.A. Daily Blog has learned that David Saltsburg has announced the amount he is willing to settle his civil rights violations for, versus the City of Los Angeles in his FEDERAL case regarding 1st Amendment violations at Venice Beach and inside City Hall Council Chambers during city council meetings.

On March 25, 2006, Mr. Saltsburg was told he could no longer offer his "Zuma Dogg" T-shirts, DVDs and CDs of his own image and performances. Additionally, he was told he could no longer amplify his performances along the Venice Beach boardwalk.

When the performer who was "harassed" off the beach by LAPD cops who were found by a Federal Court on October 21, 2010 to be enforcing those rules in violation of U.S. FEDERAL law (violation of U.S. Constitution) appeared before L.A. City Council to notify them, on-the-record that they were enforcing rules in violation of Federal law, he was ejected and banned upon numerous occasions for things like calling a councilman, "shady" (who has since then been indicted with 32 counts) -- and for calling council, as a whole, "losers" after commenting on how the city lost BILLIONS of pension money in bogus Wall Street and real estate investments. (Garcetti called it "slanderous.")

After years of pleading with the city to restore Venice Beach to Federal compliance, they refused to settle the matter and only made things more restrictive both on the beach and inside council chambers.

Since the October 21, 2010 ruling by Judge Pregersen in favor of Mr. Saltsburg (along with Matt Dowd, co-plaintiff, with his own set of damages, separate from Mr. Saltsburg, who has since been diagnosed permanently disabled by an L.A. County medical doctor and suffered a prolonged streak of homelessness) has been contacted by the lawyer who sued the city over the way they handled the McArthur Park "May Day" gathering.

And as Saltsburg reflects back on what should be a happy occasion, but only feels more emotional duress over how his life has forever changed and how his quality of life has forever deteriorated and can no longer do many of the things he used to be able to do in order to financially survive:

He has settled upon a reduced amount based on budgetary hard times of only one million dollars. When you tell the story of David Saltsburg, and the civil rights violations inside and outside city hall, and a FEDERAL COURT ruling IN FAVOR of someone now permanently disabled, it's not a $500,000 matter. It's a one million dollar matter. The city should have to pay that much for trying to get away with all of this, and for DOING IT (1st Amendment violations on Venice boardwalk...AND CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS...AND THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS PART IS EVEN WORSE, IF YOU ASK ME!!!): So it's not $900,000...it's $1 million. (And I already reduced it from $1.5.)

Not saying you have to offer it. But I know the city has a BAD HABIT of being OVERLY-OPTIMISTIC and UNDERLY-REALISTIC. So I just want City Hall to know where they stand on this FEDERAL matter. Dave feels the city should have to pay a million for trying to get away with it, for getting away with it for four and a half years and the way they handled it over those four years and what happened to Dave over those four years...WHEN IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN...AND MY MOM SHOULD HAVE BEEN VISITING THE SON SHE HAD BEFORE THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES'S TRAMPLING OF THE LAW OF THE LAND! (FUCK YOU CITY HALL...ONE MILLION OR DON'T EVEN CALL ME FOR A MEETING. I'M TOO BUSY LOOKING AT SAILBOATS ACROSS THE OCEAN.)

L.A. Daily Blog TWITTER Update for Saturday (2-13-09) - OUTRAGE BUILDING AGAINST "DO-NOTHING" (Greedy & Shady) L.A. City Council

1. WONDER WHO WILL GET TO CITY COUNCIL, FIRST: The FEDS or an ANGRY MOB who happens to catch one walking down street? PEACEFUL PROTESTS ONLY!
2. THEY HAD THE RIGHT IDEA: They used to have PUBLIC STONINGS in old days. Thinking of Garcetti & Council, makes me think it was good idea!
3. Remember few months ago: Female driver killed by allegedly speeding cop car with no lights. WHAT A TRAGEDY (that it wasn't a Councilmember).
4. NO JUSTICE: Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Holly, Roberto Clemente all died in tragic air crashes. COUNCIL FLIES PLACES UNSCATHED!
5. How did an EMPTY HEADED DUMMY like Tom LaBong get elected to council, YOU CD4 IDIOTS! Most important issue: What high school did you go to?
6. Only 50 Steps (I counted): That how far I have to walk (door to door) to nearest food mart. As soon as someone PayPal's, I can walk there!
7. ZD not only 1 who LOVES Sade!: Her new album is ranked #1 on LaLa.com music site (among all the youth rap). FREE LISTEN! http://ow.ly/178o2
8. OUTRAGE COMING: I think shortly, L.A. City Council will not be able to walk streets of their own district (at least not w/o bodyguards).
9. AUDIO: @ZumaDogg's OFFICIAL K-EARTH 101 Jingle Shout: - http://ow.ly/178ez
10. ORIGINAL ZUMA DOGG SONG: "I Am Big ZD" - Hip Hop Classic! (Not, "As U Can See/Big ZD from the 2-1-3"...DIFFERENT!) - http://ow.ly/178aL
11. CREDIT AGENCY WARNING: L.A. City Council Says, "NO" to Using $40 Million (Council SLUSH FUND) To Help With L.A. BUD... http://ow.ly/16zvN2
12. I mention CM Parks has given ZD all the right info regarding budget over past 2 yrs. Dave Zahniser has contributed BIG occasional GEMS, too!
13. DAVE TOLD DAVE: Once, I aksed David Zahniser what the budget problem was. He quickly replied, "Mayor gave union raises city can't afford."
14. @Villaraiogsa Hey Mayor, if Garpussy says you cannot veto their slush fund expenditures...VETO EVERYTHING ELSE! THAT WILL TEACH 'EM!
15. Has anyone else heard that Eric Garcetti hit a kid with a city vehicle while under the influence, then paid the family for silence? ZD has!
    

ZUMA SHOW - "Week In Review": Here is a link to all of the "Zuma Show" (L.A. City News/Budget Emergency) VIDEOS from this past week. (A LOT OF CONTENT -- and some real over-the-top rants.)

OUTRAGE DISCLAIMER: Of course this is all one big funny comedy parody post and I know you can't really pass a Charter ballot measure to be allowed to beat L.A. City Council to death, even though I DO really wish an MTA bus would fall out of the sky and onto the heads of City Council. (Or at least charter a flight from the pilot of Lynyrd Skynyrd to one of their conventions.)

UPDATE: Medical Marijuana Ordinance (Regulations) on L.A. City Council Agenda Tuesday (DETAILS, including links to items and amendments)

[I guess Brown, Cooley & Nuch haven't thought about this one. Medical Marijuana doctors recruiting people on the Venice Boardwalk right next to the ice cream cone shop. DUH?!?]

Here's a press release from about L.A. City Medical Marijuana on the City Council agenda on Tuesday November 24th:

From: Degé Coutee
Education & Advocacy Director
Patient Advocacy Network

Greetings -

LA's draft medical marijuana dispensary ordinance will be heard at City Hall again this Tuesday, November 24, 2009, 10 a.m. Here is the link to the agenda (See Item #10)-

http://ens.lacity.org/clk/councilagendas/clkcouncilagendas363681_11242009.pdf

While it is likely that more votes will occur on the amendments, it is unlikely that the entire ordinance will be complete this week. Council still needs to set up a fee schedule and determine what city departments will be involved in the application, permitting and enforcement process. However, anything is possible; we should be prepared.

Here are all of the amending motions to the draft ordinance regulating that were presented in Council on Wednesday -

http://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=08-09
23

Your involvement and support is needed. Please make arrangements to be at City Hall on Tuesday. Review the amending motions and let the Council know your concerns by speaking at the upcoming meeting or emailing your council member directly.

You can find out who your council representative is by visiting www.lacity.org. Scroll down to 'My Neighborhood' and type in your street address. Each council member has a website and contact page. In addition to contacting your council representative, you should also cc: his/her planning/legislative deputy.

We are closer than ever to having regulations in LA! How exciting!!

Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday.

Sincerely,

ZUMA DOGG would like to note for the record that it is the DOCTORS who are recruiting and over-writing prescriptions for anyone and everyone who walks in the door. Brown, Cooley, Trutanich and others are kinda being lazy and with blinders on for trying to close down the co-ops while the demand is continuing to be cranked out by these doctors. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP TO NUCH & OTHERS OVER AND OVER. But I guess it's just more fun to huff and puff over the effect instead of the cause. I wonder if they actually "get it" or are actually still misguided?

LA Daily Blog Twiiter Tweets on L.A. City Councilman Jose Huizar and his continuous DUMB comments on Citywide Issues (Today: Medical Marijuana)

On American Top 40, I'm Casey Kasem. He's back on the LA Daily Blog radar, and like Michael Jackson, is BIGGER THAN EVER, returning to the charts at #1 with a bullet.

Making a return engagement on the countdown, it's dumb, shady Los Angeles City Councilmember Jose "Weezy" Huizar for his ponderous comments on the front page of L.A. Times today, where he feels "70" is an appropriate number of medical marijuana collectives in the city.

Of course he has some dumb explanation, but who cares what the mob wants you to hear. All I know is I just read that a City Councilmember thinks there should only be 70 collectives, even though the city attorney's office is o.k. with the original 187 number (assuming all 187 are operating compliantly under State law, which may be a separate issue).

So here are the TOP TEN tweets about the councilman who has VERY LITTLE chances of finishing out his term, he's so deep in it...JOSE HUIZAR: (We like Jose, so hopefully he will just be forced to step down.) On American Top 40, I'm Casey Kasem.

KNBC Was Asked By Trutanich's City Attorney Office To Participate In AEG/Jackson Memorial Event Investigation (They Declined, Unless Subpoenaed)

NBC was asked to participate in the Carmen "Nuch" Trutanich's City Attorney Office investigation into AEG's Michael Jackson Memorial Event at Staples Center and it indicates the direction of the "criminal elements" could be going.

NBC was asked how much they paid for access to have their media crew on the risers at Staples Center for the Jackson event. It is illegal to charge for risers on city sidewalks and streets that AEG was selling access for.

KNBC was asked to participate in the investigation, but declined to do so without subpoenas, and no subpoenas have been served. So as I referred to in the previous article. Maybe Nuch knows what went down, but it won't be so easy to put the case together, cause you'd have to subpoena people like NBC and it would create a lot of bad will having the city drag everyone into this.

So sounds like AEG used city property to sell media rights to the Michael Jackson memorial event. So Nuch is trying to have them pay up, before he has to take it to court. And Tim Lewekie is calling it "near extortion" as it may be perceived to be. But that favorable public perception can change and turn HARD on your Mr. T., if you were pimpin' the city streets. OH MAN, will that unleash the Zuma Dogg on your ass!!! NUCH, let me know!!!

And I think Nuch's frustration may be that the mayor was out of town at the time, so Tim probably called the mayor; or maybe the mayor didn't even know and Tim just called Bratton and Perry who put it all in motion and Nuch IS saying the entire event may have cost $6 million when you add it all up. And if that's the situation, looks like that's a separate issue, because how the hell could you spend $6 million? ($80,000 for sandwiches outside the county is part of it.)

BLAZE IT UP! Judge Rules City of Los Angeles Medical Morituorium on Medical Marijuana Collectives INVALID, ILLEGAL & UNCONSTITUTIONAL: INJUNCTION!

[Sorry, Denny. Three years of your bullshit mis-truths and propaganda just got washed down the drain. Don't say I didn't try to help. But you knew everything.]

City of Los Angeles BLOWS IT, AGAIN, as they can't get their act together because they are too vindictive and reach for too much and try to go too far, and it ALWAYS BACKFIRES. They let the medical marijuana moratorium expire and STILL do not have any rules and regulations in place. WHAT ARE YOU DUMB, LAZY, NON-MOTIVATED AND INEPT IDIOTS AT CITY HALL GETTING PAID FOR? CAN YOU INCOMPETENT NINCOMPOOPS COME UP WITH ANYTHING? CAN YOU GET ONE GOSH DAMN THING ACCOMPLISHED? And now, after all of Dennis Zine's huffing and puffing and posturing and propoganda and lack of facts -- HE'S STANDING THERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS WITH EGG ALL OVER HIS FACE. Now sit down, Dennis. You're done. That was your big thing and it's over. Go clean some graffiti. It's all over your district like the worst "hood."

Judge grants injunction against city's medical marijuana dispensary ban

October 19, 2009 | 11:13 am

A Superior Court judge concluded today that Los Angeles' moratorium on new medical marijuana dispensaries is invalid and granted a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the ban sought by a dispensary that had sued the city.

Judge James C. Chalfant determined that the city failed to follow state law when it extended its initial moratorium. "The city cannot rely on an expired ordinance," he said.

Green Oasis and a number of other medical marijuana collectives sued the city last month, challenging its efforts to control the dispensaries. The lawsuit argued that the City Council violated state law when it extended the ban until mid-March and that it is unconstitutionally vague.

Although the injunction applies only to Green Oasis, the judge's ruling calls into question the city's power to enforce the moratorium against hundreds of dispensaries that have opened in the last two years. The ruling could inspire other dispensaries to join the lawsuit or file similar actions.

Despite the moratorium, the city has seen explosive growth in the number of dispensaries. Under the ban, the city allowed 186 outlets to remain open. Many more – the exact number is unknown – are operating in neighborhoods across the city, and more continue to open.

In its answer to the lawsuit, the city argued that the moratorium is not subject to the conditions and limitations of state law because it is not an ordinance dealing with zoning, but with public safety. Zoning ordinances cannot be extended beyond 24 months. The city adopted the first of two moratoriums on Aug. 1, 2007.

The judge rejected that argument.

The city also argued that a decision to issue an injunction would cause "grave irreparable harm." "This lawsuit is not just about one 'bad apple.' It is about illegally dealing marijuana," the city's answer said. "Hundreds of unlawful marijuana stores have cropped up throughout the City and will likely attempt to bootstrap their illegal operation on the outcome of this action."

[Unless you prove they are operating illegally under state law, the only reason they were illegal is because they opened up during the ban, which we now find out wasn't a real ban. So it looks like any collective operating compliantly under STATE law, is no longer illegal. So try to put some regulations in place so you can start to inspect each collective, the way a health inspector checks restaurants.]

Jeri Burge, an assistant city attorney, told the judge this morning that granting the injunction would "reward illegal conduct."

"You're going to open the floodgates," she said.

[NO, NO, NO!!! YOU NEVER CLOSED THEM! STOP SPINNING AND POINTING THE FINGER. AND LISTEN TO ZUMA DOGG SING "MAN IN THE MIRROR" WHICH IS WHERE YOU SHOULD START -- AND MAKE THAT CHANGE!]

Robert A. Kahn, an attorney for Green Oasis, argued that the dispensary did nothing wrong, noting that, under state law, the moratorium expired 45 days after it was first enacted. "The did not believe they were violating the law," he said.

The L.A. City Council has struggled for more than two years to write a permanent ordinance to replace the temporary ban.

Dan Lutz, a co-owner of Green Oasis and president of the collective association, filed the lawsuit after the council voted to shut down his dispensary, which opened in May.

Lutz, like hundreds of other dispensary owners in Los Angeles, had filed a request with the council for an exemption from the moratorium so he could operate, but opened without permission. The council failed to act on these requests until June, an oversight that prevented city officials from taking legal steps to close the dispensaries.

AND TODAY'S FEDERAL OBAMA NEWS ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA: Fewer crackdowns against dispensaries and the people who use them.

Obama administration issues new policy on medical marijuana

By Carrie Johnson
The Obama administration delivered new guidance on medical marijuana to federal prosecutors Monday, signaling a broad policy shift that will mean fewer crackdowns against dispensaries and the people who use them.

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. instructed government lawyers that in 14 states where medical marijuana use is legal, federal prosecutors should focus only on cases involving higher level drug traffickers or people who use the state laws as a cover story.

"It will not be a priority to use federal resources to prosecute patients with serious illnesses or their caregivers who are complying with state laws on medical marijuana, but we will not tolerate drug traffickers who hide behind claims of compliance with state law to mask activities that are clearly illegal," Holder said. "This balanced policy formalizes a sensible approach that the Department has been following since January: effectively focus our resources on serious drug traffickers while taking into account state and local laws."

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Carmen Trutanich Speaks To Zuma Dogg & KABC's Michael Linder on Medical Marijuana, Billboards & His City Attorney Office

The ZumaCAM has LITERALLY been out of commission since July 2, 2009's City of Los Angeles Inauguration Ceremony that Zuma Dogg captured so profusely from begginning to end, including heading over to newly inaugurated Carmen Trutanich's FIRST EVER press conference. This ZumaCAM footage is the ONLY video of this (somewhat) historic event.

Have a lot of footage from the press conference and the mayor and Nuch and Wendy's inauguration and a lot of Zuma Dogg fun with random constituents and some activist beef with the police and the sidewalk.

There will be a lot of new Zuma Dogg videos being posted from this and other happenings around town captured by the ZumaCAM.

But with all the HOOPLA around Trutanich and the issues of medical marijuana, billboards and the overall tone and performance of his office, THIS video is most fitting to be first up; and even bumped my performance of "Man in the Mirror" with a random lady walking down the street and the gospel choir, for this more timely and topic video of ZD and KABC's Michael Linder hittin' up Nuch right away on the two issues on the front burners on this week's news headlines.

AND, he addresses his "tone" right up front on day one.

"The one thing you are going to see out of this office is a working office. We have a task to do. I think the people put us here for a reason. We're not going to be pretty, but we're going to be effective."



VERY RELATED AUDIO: Re-cap of my phone conversation with Nuch today about all of this. I felt he needed to get out there and address some of the issues for his own PR's sake. As I mention in the audio, he's not apologetic, but he was HIGHLY passionate; and I feel that people need to hear Nuch break it down for people the way ZD got to hear him break it down -- after I press his buttons a little and get him all worked up. (OH, you think "I" care? HELL NAW! I'll call him on his cell phone on a beautiful Saturday afternoon on his only day off and start right in. Not a lot of small talk. Just, "Nuch! You GOTTA get out there and blah, blah, blah..." And he WAS right there, ready to engage, and didn't use the excuse of "hey Zuma, it's Saturday afternoon..." It was FULL ON debate and it wasn't a "chill" or relaxed conversation, either. You GOTTA LOVE THAT!

Zuma Dogg versus The City of Los Angeles (Over Three and a Half Year Venice Beach Boardwalk Battle) City BETTING BIG, once again with losing hand

Looks like it's Dogg vs City of Los Angeles and this is nothing personal Nuch. (Click here for previous post on City Attorney's meeting with Dowd/Dogg/Venice Performers, where Zuma Dogg doesn't think the City Attorney knows enough for the city's own fiscal good on this matter.)

This is previous City Attorney Rocky Delgadildo's mess and hopefully NUCH will be able to come in for the save as relief pitcher for L.A. City and it's general fund.

The law is on the Venice PERFORMERS side. THE CITY BLEW IT, AS WITH DISPENSARIES, BILLBOARDS, PENSION MONEY AND EVERYTHING ELSE...AND WE ARE SIMPLY DRIVING A SUBWAY TO THE SEA THROUGH THE HOLES!

DELGADILLO AND CITY COUNCIL JUST SAT THERE FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS AND MADE ONE MISTAKE AFTER ANOTHER AND WERE ARROGANT, AND COCKY, AND DUMB, AND DIDN'T LISTEN TO US, AND WE HAD TO SHOW UP FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS, AND YOU VIOLATED THE FIRST AMENDMENT EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR AT VENICE AND AT CITY HALL...

AND I THINK ZUMA DOGG TOOK AS MANY MEASURES TO REMEDY THE SITUATION AS HE WAS HUMANLY ABLE TO, DAY AFTER DAY, AFTER DAY, UNTIL IT WAS OVER THREE YEARS...AND I HAD TO PUT YOU TO SHAME ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS IN HOPES OF THE CITY FINALLY "FIXING" THE FUCKING BOARDWALK -- AND YOU PAID CAROL SOBEL AND ACLU OVER THE SAME THING -- BUT YOU STIFFED HUNT/DOWD, and now you have fucked it up so bad, and made performer's lawsuits SO EASY...it would be irresponsible of me not to finally take care of this situation in court with a Federal Judge since it is becoming increasingly more dangerous and people have to be able to earn a living in that area that the United States Constitution allows them to. (Villaragiosa isn't President/Dictator of the United States, yet. And he's in no position to FUCK with the Federal Government's LAW based on his own municipal mafiosa-style thuggery.)

This FIRST AMENDMENT LAWSUIT, that is NOT about commercial vending, also includes BROWN ACT VIOLATIONS at the Los Angeles City Council meetings (NUMEROUS) along with the Venice Beach Performers violations. Matt Dowd is currently filing a move for injunction at Venice Beach which would put a hold on any regulations and allow and "anything goes" scenario on the boardwalk. And when the Judge sees how the city has handled this matter, and actually REMOVED performers spaces -- while at the same time selling unlimited amounts of permits to performers (racketeering), the injunction will be issued.

And with a Grand Jury investigating L.A. City Council (over what is to believed to be over "public comment," and District Attorney Steve Cooley having a "Brown Act" meeting as he casually mentioned on Kevin James radio show, last night...I THINK IT'S CLEAR ZUMA DOGG HAS HAD HIS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS VIOLATED BY ANY COURT STANDARD. There are enough "no brainer," clear cut, outrageous violations to force the city to declare bankruptcy, to avoid the payments. (They've already racked up $470,000 on Hunt/Dowd...it's getting more expensive and there are 12 people on this lawsuit and if Dowd/Dogg win...EVERY OTHER PERFORMER WILL BE ABLE TO SUE...AND THAT'S WHEN THE CITY FALLS INTO SINK HOLE LIKE A FIRE TRUCK IN L.A. CITY AND HAS TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION. I know, I know...I'm always WAY out there on the doomsday stuff and how bad it will be...if only it didn't all come true. This is obvious and easy stuff...low hanging fruit. That's the magic of Dowd/Dogg. It's easy to do when you are the only two people with sight amongst a horseshoe full of the blind. (It's almost unfair of us.)

I'm going to ask Nuch to have Dowd/Dogg into his office to actually explain the real situation because, no offense to Nuch's attorney on the case, he's a nice guy, but after listening to him speak in a meeting, yesterday, it's clear he only has a surface level, insufficient amount of knowledge of the situation for the city's own good. NUCH, YOU ARE WALKING INTO A BUZZ SAW...you should have Dowd/Dogg explain it to you, and THEN you can make an informed decision. You ain't getting one from your side. And if you don't settle -- and take it to court...IT'S CLEAR...WE WIN...L.A. City LOSES...and then EVERY OTHER PERFORMER YOU HAVE EVER SOLD A PERMIT TO CAN SUE. (And Matt will be there to notify everyone and hand them the template...HELL, Matt will file the lawsuits FOR them.)

So sorry I'm cranky at times as a side effect of broken homelessness as too many people tell me how fantastic my efforts have been. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT ANYMORE IF I AM DYING ON THE STREETS. I DON'T CARE THAT YOU ARE SITTING AT HOME ENJOYING ZUMA DOGG ON TV LIKE A SPORTING EVENT OR DAILY REALITY SHOW.

At the end of the day, the city can't afford to lose millions and millions and millions of dollars because they don't like our tone.

YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT AS YOU HAVE FOR THE PAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS AS WE CONTINUE TO PUMMEL YOUR ASS IN THE MEDIA AND COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION. NOW THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN RIGHT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY WILL PUMMEL L.A. CITY'S ASS IN A FEDERAL COURT ONCE AGAIN. And LA Times can run the headlines, "Venice Vagrants Beat L.A. City In Federal Court as City Pays Millions To Homeless Performers." Now THAT'S what Zuma Dogg calls, "spreading the wealth around."

Then I will buy Mary Cummins (Aka: Nutty Scummins) and make her read my blog 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Oh, I forgot, she already does that. LOL! Hey Mary...love your nutty comments. You have an audience of one, but a very satisfied audience. Too bad that's the only way you can satisfy anyone. KEEP 'EM COMING. And, "meow!"
