Lynwood, CA – In an interview to Spanish publication Porvenir Latino, current Mayor Leticia Vasquez denies having had a relationship with Paul Richards, and affirms “Ni lo conozco” (“I don’t even know him”). Vasquez tells the newspaper that the only contact she had with Richards, was when she was elected, and that Richards congratulated her in a very respectful and educated manner.
Although the Compton Bulletin on a different interview indicated that she had been born and raised in Compton, Vasquez informed Porvenir Latino that she knew about Paul Richards because “Como nací y me desarrollé en esta ciudad, sabía de la existencia de Richards, quien era alcalde y concejal, pero nunca tuve una relación personal con él, nunca una conversación sobre asuntos de la ciudad.” (I was born and grew up in this city, that’s how I knew about Paul Richards, who was Mayor and councilmember, but I never had any relationship with him, never a conversation regarding City issues.).
Vasquez tells the newspaper that she will give recall proponents a legal response and tells that she will be more aggressive, although she [believes she] shouldn’t defend herself because she hasn’t done anything. Vasquez states that the accusations are false and calumnious.

This is getting vey old! Get over it! Born and raised in the city or community...who cares? Hug him and cry? I was at the trial every day and what you are saying is a lie!!!!!! Can you prove it? Get over yourself. What about Santillan she was there too, so was Rea, Landeros, Kudler and other Lynwood people. GET A LIFE!!!
Why didn't you add the rest of the article....maybe because it tells the truth about the recall. Funny how you just chose to post what was convenient for you.
This blog is a sham!

GOOD!!! Now we know who's behind lynwoodtruth!
Why do you continue to defend Leticia after so many times of her proving us right that she is a liar. If you were in the court house that day you would know that Leticia was their in support of Paul Richards, not the community. She changes her story all the time to her convenience. What will it take for you to see the truth. I did read the whole article and it only makes me feel more confident that we are doing the right thing by recalling her. Wake up and smell the coffee already.
I agree with the first comment, she made a scene, weeping after the verdict.......SHAME ON YOU!
Let's not forget who wrote her speech, and the jury issue, etc., etc., etc.
"LEGAL ACTION"??? Whose money will she use?
She better use her personal funds.
Legal action agsinst voters?
Woman, get a life. Don't you see it's over.
Remember the unauthorized endorsement flyer you put out Leticia?
Give it up. You don't have the right to be in the city council.
You have the right to get a job and work for your money like the rest of us do.
You;re lucky the DA has not prosecuted you or the FPPC levied fines against you...yet.
Isn't interesting that Paul Richards made the same threat during the first and second recall attempts against him? (The second attempt was successful, thank God).Leticia's threat is right out of the Richards book against recalls. I believe that the proponents of her recall are going to get a lawsuit threat letter as the proponents of the Richards' first recall attempt got. Poor Lynwood, we got rid of a dictator and we have a wannabe dictator knocking at our door. Let's get rid of her as soon as possible.
I have supported the recall from day one. However if it means getting Aide on council I now say no to the recall. Anybody but Aide. She is a loud mouth no nothing person.
There are no excuses today...
What is the status of the recall? Just so that the loud mouth Aide falls flat on her face and shuts that big trap or hers, I hope the recall fails to go through so the world could see what a phony Aide really is.
Well, she must be a phoney, because the recall did not go through. Andrea said the recall proponents had duplicate signatures and about a thousand signatures that were not registered voters.
If the recall did not go through, I think the real winners are the citizens of Lynwood. The proponents of the recall are so quick to accuse city officials of illegal activities and other vices contrary to the good of the people. If falsifying signatures isn't corrupt, I don't know what is!
Si en realidad el re- call no paso no es por que no se merece esa persona salir.
Sanchez mereceia salir y no pasaron las firmas pero por muchas razones que jamas salieron a la luz publica. cuando a la ciudad le conbien que no pase buscan cosas y se salen con la suya.
La el otro re- call que tubo sus trabas fue el del Ferni de Pervi..y el que me diga que el no deve salir. ??????
Andrea Hooper has nothing to do with the verification of signatures! The County checked and they were short of the 20% required.
Recall Proponents - don't blame the City Clerk. You had too many duplicate signatures (that's not an excuse) if you would have been checking you would have known they were duplicates and signatures that did not match the registrar recorder's office.
Aide, it is now time to pay back Mark Kudler and fat Billy Martinez for two consective failed campaigns, yours when you ran for council in November and the recall that just got rejected. Unless you are going to be like Santillan and not pay back her debts.
Yeah Aide, and while you are at it pay the City back for that low-income house that you stole from needy families that really could have used the home.
You dummy, the above comment. We know Aide bought the house from Herb Child. What is at issue is the money that she got from the City that she stole. That money should have to a ligitimate low income family. If you had any common ense you would understand.
It was paid back by her and her husband because he should not have received the money in the first place.
rumors, rumors, rumors
why shouldnt he gotten it??
Fact. He and Aide refinanced the home and paid the City back the money because suddenly they were no longer low income and could not justify the money that the City granted them. It was in a sense free money for a short period of time. Nice.
Your fact is incorrect.
Fact. You only need to qualify in the initial loan approval. Once the loan is approved if the following year you make more money you are okay. You don't need to continue to submitt you income verifications. She refinanced to get her landscaping done. If you want to cash out, you need to pay the laon back. Keep reaching, but my girl did no wrong in the purchase of that house. It's amazing how the people that talk shit about Aide never mention what Ramon and Maria did. Is that all you got? Come on guys you can do better. Give me a real reason to hate her.
Bul Shit, Bull Shit, Bull Shit
Let the cunt keep the money. Maybe she'll use it to fix those choppers.
You are right, it was her, her husband and the additional kids that she put down on the application. This is old news, she got away with it for now.
