The fact is the Fernando was actually right about MArtinez. Martinez is a crook and a liar. But ofcourse because Leticia Maria Alfreddie and Ramon like him so it's okay. Bull shit, if you don't want to be micro managed find another job. Since when can't your boss tell you what to do. I wish I could tell my boss not to manage me, but that's not reality. fernando caught him using public funds to remodel his wife's office with out approval of the council. He also caught him lying to the council about not knowing his wife prior to marrying her. He also caught him falsly claiming 10 hours of work the day he got married. The point is Martinez doesn't like getting caught. Just like Leticia he wines and acts like a victim.
Fernando thank you for reinvicating yourself and for fighting for the people of Lynwood. Don't let outsiders come and "NOS MIREN LA CARA DE P.ENDEJOS"
Remodel his wife's office at home? Or3 the office in city hall?
At the office
The point is that our council is raising fees for Mr MArtinez to continue over spending. Also the council never actually approved the budget for this remodeling project. That is where the fight between Fernando and him started.
I am tired of reading all this nonsense addressed at the City Manager – obviously, written by Pedroza’s sympathizers. Open your eyes and look at the facts:
- The City Manager prevented Pedroza from getting kickbacks from developers and contractors, and that is why Fernando is so angry and scared. The kickbacks that Pedroza was getting, and the City Manager stopped, were from developers for Plaza Mexico, Casa
Grande, Whispering Glen and Corona restaurant, street sweeping and tree trimming contractors, and that Mexican sculptor who wanted to sell his piece for the Senior Center to the City for $125K!
- The City Manager made Pedroza pay $1,800 that he owed the City from a few years ago, after being overpaid!
- Pedroza does not return the City’s per diem when he travel on the City’s dime, and returns early. He is afraid that the City Manager is watching him, and will turn him in to the FPPC and IRS.
- Pedroza constantly asks the City Attorney and Sheriff for help for his brother, a convict.
- Pedroza cussed at the City Manager last November, when he was in panic over his election – there are witnesses.
- Pedroza has verbally abused employees in the Public Works department. Investigation has been conducted, but the results have been ignored.
- Pedroza has said horrible things about African Americans in the past – he still believes them.
- There are pictures / videos of Pedroza’s trips to Mexico, with developers in their boats.
- Pedroza is a pedophile who is a shake down artist.
- His trips to Mexico were oftentimes not business bur pleasure – if you know what I mean, There are pictures to prove this. And does Pedroza pay child support for the illegitimate kids over there?
The list goes on and on…
I am back with facts on Pedroza – and these are just a tip of an iceberg! Read on…
- Pedroza said himself at a Council meeting that he cut the City’s budget in 2002-2003 as a Mayor. He thought that the City was in financial trouble. Turns out, this high school drop out did not know how to read the financial reports – and City Manager Lorry Hempe was not much help, either. (By the way, what are those two doing in her office behind a locked door all the time? Lorry was seeing leaving he office with her hair all messed up… Are they studying the financials together?)
- Pedroza’s past employment history of a “customer service” gofer qualifies him to collect kickbacks from people doing business for the City.
- Pedroza uses City staff to do political work for him – a legal “no-no”!
- Pedroza is scared – because the FBI has talked to the City Manager about him and Byrd.
- Pedroza believes that Lynwood is a little Mexico, and that he can take his “mordida” from everyone.
- Pedroza should get a full time job and earn money legitimately – and he may need to go back to school to learn a few basic words. It also would help for his fat slob to lose some weight, and get a decent car – so that he can stop being jealous of the City Manager!
Want further details on Pedroza/Byrd/(Hempe) gang? Here you go:
- Pedroza’s father-in-law pushes him to get an exclusive towing contract with the City – which he had until the City Manager opened it to competition! Pedroza also uses Byrd to get what he wants – so watch how those two vote on the towing contract! (And what kind of a strange connection is there between Lorry and Byrd - are those two messing around? Does Lorry want another illegitimate child?)
- Pedroza is trying to shift everyone’s attention from himself and his illegal actions to others. This is why he is after the City Manager, and that is why he has that the City Manager will sue the City. The fact is, Pedroza wants everyone to focus on the City Manager, and not notice Fernando’s illegal transactions.
- The problem with the city is not its employees – but a few officials, mainly Pedroza and Byrd. These two have their own interests, which are different from the City’s interests, and are illegal. Too bad the voters do not see it yet – but the City Manager will expose these two! The IRS is already after Pedroza, and FBI is watching Byrd and Pedroza.
- Pedroza and Byrd should remember that their sins may be paid by someone other than them – but those close to them!
This is some heavy stuff, keep it coming. I want to know more about these two!
Very interesting article about the Mexican Drug Cartels and southeast cities (including Lynwood). http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50703
Good article, why didn't Laura send it to everyone? Not newsworthy or is she biased?
It seems that Fernando despite who he is and what he has done in the past is the only member of council smart enough to see through the mess and nonsense that this City Manager has caused. Pedroza ids the only councilmember withthe balls to say that this City Manager must go. Right now Lynwood is the laughing stock of the southeast area cities and the Little man is only making it worse.
As I understand it the City Manager was told to do his job by Pedroza and that entailed having the City Manager carry out the items the City Council approved to be done. The City Manager is there to carry out the City Council's direction as it was the residents who voted in the City Council mebers to represent them and it is not the City Manager's job to set policy for the City or the city's agenda. Look how upset people get if the City Council tries to direct the city in some way but decides how that is to be done in a closed door meeting. The City Manager does not represent the residents, he wasn't voted into office by the residents and so any direction coming from him is something he decided to do in private and not put up for approval by the City Council in a public forum. The City Manager needs to find out that he is simply another employee who can be fired if one more councilperson wants him out. Both Byrd and Pedrosa are already sick of his Napolianic complex and his rudeness. When you add in the fact that this same City Manager has a past history of being accused of sexually harassing or abusing his employees in cities like Pasadena and Palm Beach Gardens, FL, no wonder the City Council Council worries about this little man who thinks he is something special and who flauts the City's rules by marrying one of his juniors, during working hours and while he has his own employees working on an anti nepotism rule for others in the city, besides himself and his bride. The other problem is an antinepotism rule has existed in Lynwood since around 1978 and the work he assigned to those who work for him was completely not needed. Are the above the actions of good manager? I don't think so.
