LET'S JUST HOPE THE CITY COUNCIL SUPPORTS STAFF, AND DON'T VOTE FOR MD NOW THAT WE HAVE SUPPORT THAT MD IS NOT THE BEST.

The funny part is that MD beat Charles Comapany. Sorry Alex, I guess your team is no good. What we need to think about is, why didn't these companies want to do business in our city before? Now that all the hard work has been done, they want to come in. If staff had done it's job in the first place, we would'nt be going through any of this. Morales needs to be fired.

where in the heck were these new developers when our community was left in post riot ruins??? They were nowhere in sight! It was Plaza Mexico who invested in our city. And for the forgotten loan and business license waiver,,, We could blame our city officials for that!!!! Not
Donald Shae. Now that the foundation of beautification has been laid, now everyone want's in!

I'm just glad that as a resident and taxpayer, I will finally be able to shop in Lynwood. I sure hate to leave my tax dollars in other cities.

In comparison to 3 or 4 years ago, I see positive changes.

To the comment above: you sound so much like a council member who's running for ereelection this year! (Very pathetic if you are...)

wrong again,,,, Don't confuse my loyalty with anyone who sits on council. I speak for hundreds of registered voters and residents when I say that Plaza Mexico is the "peoples choice" of deveolpers. Since day one,,,Donald Shae has continued to beautify Lynwood. We are eager to see what the "vision" of the future holds for our beautiful city!!!!

WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF HIRING SOMEONE TO DO A STUDY TO SHOW WHO WAS THE BEST DEVELOPER IF THEY WERE GOING TO CHOOSE THE ONE THAT PUT MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS?

LETICIA: ONE MORE TIME YOU PROVE WHAT A CORRUPT LIER YOU ARE. WHERE'S YOUR DAMN EDUCATION? AND DON'T GIVE ME THAT BS THAT YOU MADE AN EDUCATED DECISION. YOU'RE NOT CLEANING LYNWOOD, YOU ARE ONLY PERPETUATING CORRUPTION!!!!! YOUR ARE JUST (OR EVEN MORE) CORRUPT THAN FERNANDO AND BYRD. HOW MUCH DID YOUR POCKET GET? IS YOUR CONSCIOUS AT EASE WITH WHAT YOU'VE DONE? TE HAS BURLADO DE LA COMUNIDAD. DON'T FORGET "DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT IF I WANT TO GO TO MEXICO, I'LL GO TO MEXICO".

NOW WE NEED TO HAVE THE DA INVESTIGATE THIS, STARTING WITH YOU. LIER. CARREER POLITICIAN. WE NEED TO RECALL YOU. THAT'S WHAT WE NEED.

It's a shame that people who are running for office keep trying too make council look bad, just because they are trying to do the job the people elected them to do. Mr.Chae and the Charles group were fighting each other well the Merrill group was doing it's homework, but the Council has not made a dission. The fat lady has not song.

i'm please with the results.....I think plaza Mexico's project with the movie theathre is the best thing that will happen in Lynwood....I am surprise that Vazquez voted for something with Mexican cannotation!

To the comment above...Ms. Vasquez has always been a strong supporter of Mexican and all Latino cultures and supporter of All ehnicities. Specifically, she has helped a large number of latino students i.e. Honduran, Mexican, Ecuadoran, Dominican just to name a few... secure scholarships, something very important to her. She has also helped African American students. What you don't seem to understand here is that she transcends color lines. She helps ALL and supports whatever is in the best interest of the ENTIRE community. She has strongly supported Posadas, Cinco De Mayo, Kwanza etc..I can go on and on and on but I must start my day. Enjoy! Also, Aide keep up the great work. I know you'll be another open minded Latina who will support EVERYONE!!!

Coucil failed us again when it voted to give M&D Properties the project on Long Beach Bl. Council should have given Mr.Chae a timeline to finish all projects at Plaza Mexico before giving him more projects. The way were going most people in Lynwood will never see his projects finished. well i guess Pedrozas, Aide and ? will have alot of money when they run for office.

The citizens of Lynwood need to think about a term limit for all elected offices in Lynwood, then maybe we can get our city back from all the carpetbaggers!!

For the past several months I have followed this website and I have laughed at some of the inacurate statements, I have been amused at the ridiculous comments, and I have gotten angry over the fact that so many of you get ALL of your information wrong.

But now I have had it! This website has become a big joke, and all because certain individuals continue to circulate lies, gossip and just plain DUMB comments. I leave you all with the following:

To the comment on 6/19. How stupid are you? What do you mean why didn't these companies want to do business before? Have you seen the Smart & Final Shopping Center? Have you seen the Sav-On shopping Center? These were both done by the Charles Company. The difference between the Charles Company and M & D is....the Charles Company doesn't need to hold a popularity contest, they just do what they do, bring in new credible business that actuallly pay sales tax!

To the comment on 6/20. There were plenty of developers that wanted to come in post riots. However, people like Paul Richards, Ricardo Sanchez, Louis Byrd and Robert Henning always forced them into the "pay to play" drama. These CREDIBLE developers went away knowing that the city needed them, more than they needed us. Donald Chae on the other hand, paid the Councilmembers with money that they loaned him from your tax dollars! All nice and clean money laundering!

To the comment on 6/21. Please do not say Plaza Mexico is the peoples choice. Speak for yourself, don't speak for me! Plaza Mexico is nothing but an indoor swapmeet, were vendors don't pay business licenses or sales tax.

To the comment on 6/22. What do you mean Council has not made a decision? Weren't you at the Council Meeting? Didn't you hear them vote 3 to 2???? I have nothing more to say on that one!

To the comment on 6/23. Once again, someone that does not attend Council Meetings. Didn't you hear or see the presentation that Donald made to the Council. He never said anything about a movie theatre. I'm sure that his drawings are public information, ask to see them. He wants to use the property off of Long Beach Blvd for more parking for his stupid events that cause traffic problems, litter our streets and tie up our Sheriff services.

And finally to the comment on 6/23. Enough already with that stupid crap about cultures, ethnicities, Posadas and Kwanzas. Instead of pointing out our differences, we should be focusing on our similarities. We all live here, we all pay taxes, we all want businesses in our community that will help our economy, we all want less crime, we all want to clean up Long Beach Blvd., and we all want a better Lynwood for our children. Why don't you try focusing on that, because the last time I checked, when the Trade Center was bombed in New York, everyone, regardless of race or culture was affected the same way! When an earthquake rolls through southern California, it doesn't skip your house, because of your ethnicity either!

Don't bother responding, I won't be back!

Too bad the person who wrote the comment above won't be back, but to all others who will, let me tell you that during the Donald Chay presentation, a movie theater was mentioned. And it was mentioned out of context because they lacked big names as the other developers.

The real deal is that the Agency gave Donald $7,000,000.00 dollars to be used for his indoor swap meet and the money was used to purshase the town center ???????
Also his cheating the city for not reporting millions of dollars from his indoor swap meet taxes.
