I want to know if Lynwood Watch has any information on how City of Lynwood would let Plasa Mexico construct so much building with little parking. I think there is some kind of corruption going on there.

THEY SHOULD BE MANDATED TO REPORT ON THE BENEFITS OF EACH MEETING ATTENDED. IF NONE LET THEM REIMBURSE THOSE FUNDS TO BE USED FOR BETTER USE.

Why does Leticia Vasquez go to so many meetings? Her response is that "she's getting educated". She should already be educated, at least that's the image that she gave us druing the campaign, and I remember very well that she and her campaign manager Ralph Gonzalez said it all the time that she was "the most educated and highly qualified". She was supposed to know about public policy and administration. Well, she lied to us.

This are some of the lies she told us:

1) She lived in Lynwood. Why was she registered to vote in another city?
2) She was a teacher. Why didn't she say she had an emergency 30 day substitute teacher credential?
3) She was going to bring change. What change? She's doing everything she promised she would never do, just like Pedroza and his video.

We are paying an average of $2,500 a month in her traveling, and meetings. She is costing us too much. She as an expense that we can't afford. I don't understand how she can be talking about cuts when she doesn't set the example. Plus, doesn't she have a job? It doesn't seem to be the case. When you have a full time job you don't have the time to be going to meetings and trips, etc.

Leticia Vasquez said she was a "chingona" when she was sworn in. She was right, but not "chingona" in the sense of mighty, but "Chingona" in the sense of "chingar", or cause damage. She has the despotic attitude of Ricardo Sanchez, and the greed of Fernando Pedroza.

Lynwood Residents, correct me if I'm wrong:

- Wasn't Leticia Vasquez the one who didn't want to give the homeless shelter a 90 day extension to remedy the problems back in August? At the last council meeting, she sided with Byrd and supported the appeal. It doesn't matter if all those people die, they're African American and she needs their vote.

- Wasn't Leticia Vasquez the one opposed to the Christmas posadas last year and this year felt that everyone should have the opportunity to do their own posadas and allocated an additional $15,000?

- Wasn't Leticia Vasquez the one who once said "if I want to eat beans and rice, I can stop at mom's" referring to La Huasteca Restaurant? Now she hangs out at La Huasteca all the time. (remember when Escobar and Simental wanted the same location?)

- Wasn't Leticia Vasquez the one who said "Ramon cannot be the Mayor- he's under investigation" yet 2 weeks later she appointed Byrd as Mayor? who in my eyes is in more trouble and is also under investigation.

- Wasn't Leticia Vasquez(the night she was sworn in) the one who told Councilwoman Santillan "For you, I'm now councilmember Vasquez" but turned around and called her "honey" at a council meeting?

I'd rather see a humble councilmember who votes and thinks with his/her heart, than one who has forgotten where she came from. She forgets, but the community does not. YOU CAN TAKE THE GIRL OUT OF THE GHETTO, BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE GHETTO OUT OF THE GIRL. "I was born and raised in Lynwood" Enough of that!

Poor Poor Leticia. Didn't you know we would figure you out eventually. We know RICHARDS, BIRD and Pedrosa got you all of those votes. You dont have a clue what you are doing in the counsel AND IT'S STARTING TO SHOW. Now that you don't have the mastermind behind the "LETS TAKE ALL THE MONEY WE CAN FROM THE IGNORANT PEOPLE OF LYNWOOD" {RICHARDS) project what are you going to do? Pretty soon you will also have no BIRD and no PEDROSA. What are you going to do all buy yourself? Here's an idea "GET OUT" before it's to late and you in up in the same situation as your partners in CRIME. But maybee thats what you deserve you crook. It's sad to see the day Latinos and Blacks finally unite, not to fight crime but to commit crime!

I did the research, she has a ten year voting record in Lynwood and was registered to vote in Lakewood one year. Is that a crime?

Let me answer you with a rethoric question: What would she do if someone else was in that situation? Yep, she would use the "I'm clean" card, and she would immediately want to submit the FBI, DA, FPPC, County, and every one else she can think of. Kind of like "if I put the blame on you first, I won't be blamed for the same sins" thing.

The main issue is not whether she registered in Lakewood, the problem is spitting in the air, and having spit fall in your face. You can't point the finger at everyone, and expect to be left alone, or phrased differently, you can't throw rocks when you live in a house of glass.

Rumor goes it that the speech she read when she was sworn in was written by Paul Richards. May be this is just that, a rumor. But I ask one question: Why was she called before a grand jury if she were so clean? We may never know the answers to many of the questions we have. But one thing is for sure, for many statements she's made, there's have been contradictory actions. Actions speak lowder than words.

I agree with the previous comments, we need to keep a close eye on Leticia. What is she hiding??? Does anyone have access to transcripts from her testimony???
