Lynwood, CA – During the council meeting held January 2, 2007, two people allegedly tied to Imperial Partners, inc asked for the City Manager’s resignation. On a move that many consider an attempt to disarm opponents of the Lynwood Promenade, the Lynwood City Council has placed the position of City Manager in the agenda for the next council meeting which will be held January 16, 2006. Historically, when the position of City Manager has been placed in closed session agenda, a new City Manager is appointed.
It is alleged that Byrd, Johnson, and Pedroza want to fire Martinez because of his inability to move [their] projects forward. Critics argue that a new City Manager, more attuned to the new majority will move the Lynwood Promenade, and other projects onward.

Maybe the Council will do something right this time and FIRE THE CITY MANAGER for being incompetent. How many cities has El Chaparrito Feo worked for? He can't keep a job anywhere.
I am a City employee and have worked here for many years. I have gone through four City Managers and he is the best one we've had.
C'mon, you know that City Managers and City Attorney's come and go, but at least this one makes every lazy ass work.
You and I know that Council can not manipulate him. The majority of the council want someone they can manipulate. El Chaparrito, is not going to allow that.
Plus, who will they put? Lorry Hempe or Little Albert Robles. PLEASE!
He is not about to go to jail for a stupid move. He is not about to ruin his reputation for some stupid councilmembers that want to move illegal projects through!
Feo, pero muy inteligente. Antes de que Fernando se lo chingue al el, el lla se lo chingo!
I heard the City Manager was crying this morning. He doesn't know what to do or where there's an opening at another city.
Como nos gusta el mitote a los Latinos. Deberas no tenemos otra cosa que hacer.
Severance package or not, no one likes getting the boot and it is not a nice feeling. Unfortunately, this City Manager was a good fit for Lynwood. Look at how much money he has spent and his approach to things. Always hiring consultants expaning the payroll. El Chaparro has to be let go. It will be costly but it has to be done sooner than later.
Once again Lynwood will be the laughing stock of Los Angeles County. This corrupt city can't afford to have a professional City Manager who wants people to work, what a concept! In the end it's us, the taxpayers who always loose because of corrupt politicians like "Fernie the Pervie" and the "Compton Boys".
These Macho Men should keep the city business to the professionals, and stay out of the way, but no their "handlers" wouldn't get their way now would they?
Keep the recall going...let's have a recall signature party on the street in front of "Fernie's" house so all his neighbors are reminded of what a pervert he is!
No seas idiota, no es que nos guste el mitote, lo que pasa es que somos seres pensantes que no nos dejamos mangonear.
I love the recall party infront of Fernie the Pervie's house. We can make a big sign that shows the porno movies, another one that shows his extensive traveling, including the trip to china, the towing contract, and the Lynwood Fiasco Promenade.
Aide, you're the one who should organize it. This will show us which side you're truly on. Then we can organize a recall party in each of the other councilmember's streets.
Has anybody sent the scientology members information about the corrupt gangsta reverend scary johnson? Every one of them should one what type of corrupt individuals they have among their ranks.
Regarding Martinez, he has to go. PERIOD. He is costing the City a lot of money. But before he goes, the public integrity division should investigate him and prosecute him for hiring an employee that didn't rank amongst the top, and later married her. It is obvious that he planned it all along. That's his crime, and he should pay for it.
As someone who is working on the recall I would like to ask for a favor. Please don't make fun of our efforts. I would also like to ask that Aide not be ask to go against her family. She is already in a tough situation. She has already proven herself. The only thing we must focus on is the recall. And by that I mean collect the signatures we need and that's it. Anyone looking to sign the petition can go straight to ACE hardware on Atlantic. This recall belongs to the community and no one else. No special interest. No loosing candidates. Simply a bunch of pissed of residents.
We are not asking you to go against her family. Aide you have made the choice to get involved in politics, not us. You have to prove yourself to the community; the only thing that we asking is the same thing that we ask from everybody else who wants to be in a leadership position. We are not at fault that you and your cousin are corrupt to the bone.
Aide doesn't care, she is an opportunist and will do anything to get elected. Don't be fooled
I don't see the problem. Didn't Aide pay the fees for the recall? What is the problem then?
Having a recall drive infront of councilmembers houses is not a bad idea. It'll only show that we are serious and determined to get them out. If they are willing to take away our homes, and displace our families, if they don't care about displacing seniors, and children,families that have been there for over 20 years, why should we care what their families think?
This is the United States, and this is democracy. We have every right to make a recall drive at any Lynwood street; that of course means doing it within the law, and with respect to all residents in the area.
Showing people why we want to get them out of office really shouldn't be an issue. I don't think it is against the law to have a couple of sings showing the community their wrong doings.
Once again, Aide has proven herself by leading the recall, paying for it, and I'm sure she won't mind doing a recall drive, even if it means doing it at her cousin's street.
She's a big girl, she knew what she was getting into.

is that you Alicia from the city managers office. it sure sounds like you. I know your defending him because you are his little puppet. you dont want him to go because you get your ways with him. plus he like to help you and your lasy husband Rigo.
One thing i learn is that the city manager is not what he says he is and does what he said he wouldnt do. he only helps the people that he likes and the people that kiss his ass. he said he would only promote within. but we all know that he only promotes you husband Rigo when you know he never deserve it. I know my writing is not that good but at least i know its alot better than Rigo´s. we all know he´s a dumbass that cant read or write english. this is why i cant understand why he is a supervisor.
How faint of heart...since when are politics in Lynwood respectful? And Ace Hardware, come on, we got rid of that crook Ramon once, get this recall away from any has been, let's look for some new, fresh and "clean" replacements. Ramon is no virgin to the Gravy Train at City Hall.
The recall must get "Fernie the Pervie" and keep Ramon pounding nails at Ace Hardware, he is a crook you all know!

"You have to prove yourself to the community"? Who made your minimum wage a$$ the f*ckin judge?
What did you make alfreaky or Pervie do to prove themselves? Dont tell her jump through hoops like a dog...
You want her to roll over and beg too? I'm gonna let all the candidates do what they think is appropriate and then the voters decide!
I have to agree with the above blogger. Who made you judge and jury. She only really needs to prove herself to her family and God. Who the F*** are you anonymous? Not even the ballz to sign your name. How typical! I say, get rid of all elected officles in Lynwood. They are all proven to be unworthy and self serving.
As a proponent of this recall let me make something crystal clear for everyone. This recall is led by the us the proponents and only us. We do not want Aide nor Ramon leading this recall. We want this to be a community effort. Both Aide and Ramon have assisted us with help and guidance as we have requested. We will never ask any candidate to do anything they don't feel comfortable doing. We will not be fighting any political battles that have been going on. If you have a problem with any of the council members simply sign the petition and shut up. It really makes me wonder what kind of people you guys are by wanting to basically kick someone when they are already down. Have any of you considered the family members of these council members. Leave their families out of it. How would any of you like it if I was recalling you, then I decide to throw a party in your street so that your wife and children can see what I'm doing. You tell me why children need to suffer any humiliation of an adults decision? We are doing this recall simply to replace bad leaders with good ones. We want someone who will think of us the homeowners before approving any proposal. This council had the opportunity to cancel this project completely on January 2nd and they didn't. We understand that we would have been sued, but we were willing to deal with it. What we are not willing to do is live our lives for the next few years wondering if the council will negotiate in our best interest when they have already proven that they won't.
It's hard to believe that Rigo is anyones supervisor when he doesn't even have a high school diploma or GED.

It's hard to believe that Rigo is anyones supervisor when he doesn't have a high school diploma or GED. This leaves me to question how and why he has been promoted over the years.

Regarding comment on January 12, 2007 at 10:37 a.m.
If this is Alicia speaking then she must be telling on herself. I hope she has better sense to speak about lazy employees being made to work, when she is considered one of the most overpaid and laziest employees within the whole organization.
She is too busy running around sniffing Laura's butt, that she dismisses her duties as the executive assistant to the city manager,just to be liked while trying to live through the shadow of someone else. Isn't about time you get your own identity.
The moment Aide chose public life, she chose to be judge. We are all judges, and this is the American way, we love to make politicians, and then we love to tear them apart.
The only reason Rigo has moved up the ranks is because he is Alicia´s husband. We all know he doesnt deserve to be where he´s at. Just like she doesnt deserve to be where she´s at. Alicia has moved up by doing some serious a$$ kissing and Rigo by likin El Chaparritos balls.
but to think for someone that doesnt even have a high school diploma or a GED and become a supervisor, you know something must be wrong.....there must be some serious a$$ kissing or Ball likin´.
Alicia we know what your all about and what you are doin.....no one at the city hall likes you or your inept husband so please do us all a favor and stop kissing Enrique, Laura, and Autra´s A$$es.
I cant believe you have to nerve to say that this has been the best city manager we´ve had....is that because he´s promoted you and your husband. or is it because you r part of the magical circle of I´M TO GOOD FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
I would like 4 everyone to sing along with me please......
NANANANA NANANANA HEY HEY HEY GOODBYE.....NANANANA NANANANA HEY HEY HEY GOODBYE.
ALEX
Aide is no better than Rigo. High School Diploma Only.
Aide is just a common twat. No credibility.
BYE, ENRIQUE!
The problem is not about being judge. The problem is asking her to do something that's not appropriate. We all agree her cousin is no good for the community. All we are saying is their is no need for her to rub it in his face. You guys just want to see people hurting each other. For who ever wrote the comment about making and tearing down politicians. That's your doing not mine. I want to make and keep a good politician. That's why are government suffers because of people like you.
For the comment 2:40 am January 16
Aide at least has a High School Diploma....Rigo has nothing, but a raisin in his head. Aide at least has some common sence, but Rigo is a DODO head with no intelect.
Enrique please take Alicia and Rigo with you when you leave please!!!!
This is only the beginning of the end for El Chaparrito Feo. Isn't he from originally from Texas? Maybe he'll go home finally.
Come on, stop pretending to not be involved with the recall. Everyone who's anyone is helping with the recall efforts. If your not helping in some way, then your not worthy yourself!!!!
Aide does not have a high school diploma. She has a GED which is not a high school diploma. Poor thing she does not even know the difference. She claims to be a Lynwood High school alumni too and she IS NOT. She got her GED!
Yeah but Alicia does have a lot of hair between her legs.
I´m not trying to defend Aide in any way. As a matter a fact, I have critisized her tremendously.
You might be right about Aide having a GED and not a High School Diploma, but at least she has some smarts and carries herself as a professional. On the other hand, Rigo is lazy and a major Dumba$$ with no common sence, no education, and no self respect.
Rigo is nothing but a pervert, just like Fernie the Pervie. I always see him driving around checking out women and trying to pick up on them. He never works, doesn´t do anything but try to boss the other employees like he was something big in the city.....Poor DumbA$$, he doesn´t know any better, doesn´t know the difference from right n wrong.
By the way, I saw Rigo at the council meeting....was he there because he was trying to lick Enrique´s balls for the last time or was he there to fight against the people that are against his hero and ball likin´ provider Enrique.
Ah que mi Rigo, con que te gusta lamber tanates.
Bueno pues, ya que no trabajas. Porque no te pones a lamberle los Huevos a todos los que trabajan con tigo.
ya vi que si dejaron ir a tu querido Enrique!!! Si llegaste a lamberle los Huevos por ultima vez o lo vaz a hacer despues, ya que se les pase la tristesa y el coraje? apoco estas aguitado ya que perdiste la palanca?
no me digan que tambien le qusta el garrote al tal Rigo?
Someone really has it out for this Rigo guy. It is because he has a hairy wife.
I don´t think someone has it out for him. I just think the truth is finally coming out considering that his nut sack Enrique was fired. The employees are simply upset because of all the favoritism Alicia and Rigo got considering they are lazy and dumb. There were other employees that were far more qualified and better than Rigo and he got the supervisor position. Alicia pulled some strings to get him that position.
Why don't we call this blog the Aide Castro Blog. It seem to be the only thing you people wan't to talk about. Let's discuss the individuals that are in office. Not the wanna bees. The city is in termoil and you wan't to discuss Aide's GED status?
It will be the end of Lynwood if that cunt Aide gets elected on to City Council.
I've noticed that guy Rigo very quiet lately. The pervert hasn't been checking out women like before. Could it be because his daddy enrique is not around any longer or could it be because he no longer has any power.
I just hope that the other idiot jose molina has finally put Rigo to work. he needs to work for a change. Especially since enrique is no longer around to protect him from everyone.
Thats true. I haven't seen that Rigo guy around lately. Does he still work for the city or is he just ashamed of himself and his hairy wife?
What about the elephant Autra, I haven't seen her around either. Is she hybernating or she sad because her lover enrique was finally tossed from the city?
Come on now! Let's give my boy Enrique some credit!
You think after having Marianna and Sandra (& Laura?)...he would stoop to Fautra?
Enrique...no matter if you stay or go...YOU DA' MAN!
Dont Hate The Playa'...Hate The Game!
To 11:14 p.m. February 14
Your an idiot. "Enrique is not the man". he was simply a greedy, connaving male chauvanist. That misused his power to try to make up for his low self-esteem. The only reason he was able to sleep with Mariana, sandra, laura, and alicia was because mariana wanted the finance director, sandra wanted the h.r. director, laura wanted the marketing, and alicia wanted him to promote her and her inept husband rigo. He did'nt want to sleep with autra or debra...he just used them to do his dirty work and harrass the people he did'nt want to get involved with. But he knew they are a couple of idiots that do'nt know what there doing!
Reality is enrique was no good for lynwood and I hope he does'nt come back......damn crooked old bastard.....he was spending money the city does'nt have. Council is finally realizeing how corrupt he really was.
I guess he felt he was suppose to have all the cities money since he looks like a "LEPRECHAUN"......."I'm money hungry and I want to become a millionare at the residents expense".
I heard Alicia busted a Monica Lewinsky on Enrique one day.
I guess some people will do just about anything to "move up"....oh, i'm sorry. In this case is "go down"
I believe you. When you say "go down" and or anything to do with bj's and getting dirty, there's only one person: Martha. Did she really do it? Seems to me she's getting ready to do Alffreddo.
If Enrique doesn't come back in the next month, he will come back as soon as there is a change in council!
Employees: Be careful what you say, everything will change. I hope you don't believe that Lorry and Fernando will continue to call the shots. NOT FOR LONG.
To the above comment...
It might be the case that Enrique does return, but it doesn't rule out the fact that he is a corrupt piece of Sh!t and that he is a sneaky corrupt little bastard.
The only reason he might come back is because I believe he belongs to the chain of "HIGHER POWERS," which includes many corrupt political politicians with alot of influences. This is the reason why he was able to extort money and bring his cronies to work for the city at very high salaries. He knew it was hard for anyone to touch him or fire him.
The only reason I do believe he would come back as the city manager if the recall was to go through is because the same people that brought him in would bring him back if they were to get back into council (Ramon Rodriguez, Aide Castro, and Maria Santillan). Therefore, I am extremely disappointed that he could possibly return when they know without a shadow of a doubt that he is greedy, manipulative, and corrupt.
As a long time resident, I beg you not to bring back:
NAPOLEON,
HITLER,
LEPRECHAUN, OR THE
MALE CHAUVENIST
Let me give you a friendly reminder before you start making assumptions. Aide Castro was the one that tried to give the city manager his first write up. I was at the council when she let the city manager have it during public orals. From the beginning she said he was a fraud. I saw her at CVS last week and I asked her what she felt about the city manager being gone. She said she was very happy that he is finally being exposed. But she was concerned about him getting a severance package. She also said that if the city manager was not fired with cause she wouldn't support him being fired. If anything she would bring him back to not pay a severance package and hold him accountable for everything he messed up. Ramon and Maria on the other hand do support him. Why I don't know but could it be that he's the one paying for the recall? Did he pay for Maria and Ramon's campaign? I think he did but who knows really.
What fraud? Council put him on leave for 30 days and can not find anything as of today!
They hired an investigator, they are paying Beltran thousands to sit in meetings and orchestrate reasons why they might be able to fire him and he hasn't been successful. Before this is over, the City will have thrown away another $500,000 (half a million).
They don't care, it's not their money! Oh my God, and that looney Finance Director! I hope they don't consider him the new City Manager. He is going to drive the few directors we have, CRAZY.
To 8:13 am February 23
You are correct about your statement in regards to Aide, she did critisize him during the orals, then again she might have regreted what did after it was said and done, but you also left room in your answer for a "loophole"....meaning that if Aide were to get elected, she could possibly say that there was no grounds for firing him and allow him to return. Furthermore, you stated that she would rather bring him back in order not to pay him his severance package. Well my friend, let me ask you, "why in the hell would she want to bring this corrupt bastard back in the first place after all he's done?
There's no doubt that Enrique did many corrupt and unethical things while he was here...although, that still remains to be proven. He has alot of people fooled into thinking that he was good for lynwood. The way he would cover his corruptness was by harassing the employees and stressing them out, but he was was a hyprocit!!!!
About Enrique funding Rodriguez and Santillan's campaigne, there's no doubt in my mind that there is some sort of involvement between them.....Which is what disappoints me.
It just goes to show that they are all corrupt. I guess its pretty much what they say, "you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours."
I understand that Santillan wants Byrd, Johnson, Pedroza, and Vasquez out, but come on.....all she is doing is aligning herself with someone thats just as bad as they are.
Enrique being behind the recall...."YOU CAN BET YOUR A$$ HE IS." Have you wondered why there hasn't really been any attacks towads Leticia Vasquez lately. Well, thats because she didn't vote to put him on administrative leave....it was Byrd, Johnson, and Pedroza.
Please Santillan and Rodriguez I beg for you guys to distance yourselves from this corrupt piece of Sh!t. He is no good for Lynwood or the community!!!!
The Council should just fire that puny little piece of a man that is referred to as the City Manager without a severance package. Let that little man sue if he feels that he didn't do anything wrong. He spent 100's of thousands of dollars without City authorization. Got to go, got to go. They all go to go including:
The Little Man
Lorry
Autra
The Rec. Staff
We need Reyes to go back to council and bring common sense; he might be whatever you want but he doesn't sell out.
Reyes can kiss my A$$. He is another corrupt little Enrique. What he needs to do is go to school to learn how to speak the English language.
Darn bastards, they're all corrupt. We need good ethical people that truly love their city and community, not power and money!!!!
It doesn't matter what you say, there is no proof about about corruption on Reyes's part; he still the only one that can turn the city around. Just remember he was the one who brought out all the corruption of the Richards's clan.
Yes there is not proof of corruption, as of today.
However es UN PINCHE CHISMOSO, Y LLORON. Y muy bolada el pobre viejo.
Reyes might be volado but he can turn the city around. Look at Maria Santillan, she is shacking up with Raul and her actions in council are worthless; look at Leticia, drinking herself to death and her actions in council are worthless. We need people that regardless of their human weaknesses, can still do the job. My vote and my family votes are with Reyes.
It seems that the Enrique clan is finally on the verge of a breakdown now that theres no one to protect them any longer, they don't know what to do.
1. The Elephant Autra is nowhere to seen. She's never around or working.
2. Laura (ms. goody two shoes) finally lost the power that Enrique entrusted in her.
3. Alicia (hair all over her face) is walking around pretending to actually work with her dog face. She is really devasted that her lover Enrique is gone.
4. Debra is ready to have a nervous breakdown.
So, who is the hairiest woman in the CM's office? I read this in past comments but I never read the answer. Also who is Bubble Butt?
Can someone let us know.
The hairiest women in the CM's office is Alicia. She have hair all over her body, specially her eyebrows which kind of remind me of "Frida Khalo", but of course Alicia is nasty though. With her square A$$ and ugly face.....
I don't know what Enrique ever saw in her. I mean she doesn't have any smarts or common sense. She just like her dumb husband Rigo that like to boss people around.
The power of a hairy snatch is unstoppable. George Lopez said it right.
