Are they using public funds for the investigation? Is that legal?
Yes they are. They are using the same law firm that investigated the previous recall attempt on Vasquez.
If that were their money, they would not investigate. Since it's not costing them a dime, they will choose a law firm that will investigate and give them a campaign contribution.
Why not kill two birds with one stone.
The recall is being investigated, the council is being investigated, the city attorney is being investigated,,anyone eles? This city is a joke and so are the soon to be canidates for clowncil. This city has no future,,,,
I cannot believe that the City is allowing this! Who is the City Manager? Is he/she ok with this? What about the City Attorney?
Why is Solache going around trying to discredit Lopez and Rodriguez? Don't trust them. It may be a strategy to see who they can count on to vote for them on the Nov. election. Solache is talking trash about Lopez and Rodriguez, but I think they are working together? Watch out!!!
IF YOU GUYS WANT TO INVESTIGATE THE RECALL USE YOUR OWN MONEY DONT USE TAXPAYERS MONEY THIS ACTION WILL PUT YOU GUYS OUT OF OFFICE, THIS IS JUST A WASTE OF MONEY THE INVESTIGATION ITS NOT GONNA FIND OUT ANNY WRONG OR ILEGAL, YOU GUYS BETTER GIVEUP
The City Attorney is not making any comments because he playing both sides of the fence. He can't be on the fence because the fence will break.
Who would they investigate? The proponets? The circulators of the recall? Or do they wan't to investigate the residents? They need to quit!!!Leave with some dignity. Resign from your seat to save your families any more embarrassment.
I watched the City Attorney Tuesday night. He is afraid to loose his $50,000 per month salary.
Beltran, speak up and don't go down with these characters.
ok lynwood si el condado ya verifico las cartas porque estos pendejos quieren pagar quiere decir que el condado miente porque no traer al condado para que mire quien dice la verda van agastar mucho dinero y alos pobres city employees no les quieren dar aumento tenemos otro pinche lanbiscon de alfredo lopes the 3rd antilatino trabaja en human resources lastima de lanbiscon nomas lanbiendoles los huevos alos consejales para quedar bien estupido antilatino
El HR Manager no tiene nada que ver con el aumento. El solamente trai el mensaje.
El condado no esta mintiendo. Los consejales no pusieron la fecha, la semana proxima tendremos la fecha de la eleccion especial.
Los unicos mentirosos - Son los consejales.
THE CITY OF LYNWOOD CITY HALL SHOULD JUST BE BULLDOZED AND BE MADE INTO A GIANT NATURE PARK. THIS CITY IS WORTHLESS, PERIOD.
NICKLE AND DIME HUSLTERS GET ELECTED TO CITY COUNCIL HERE, STUPID MORONS MAKE 100K, WORK FOR THE CITY WHO HAVE 6TH GRADE EDUCATIONS AND BRING THIER GHETTO MENTALLTIY HERE.
I REST MY CASE.
BULLDOZE THE CITY HALL AND BE DONE WITH IT, LET THE STATE RUN LYNWOOD
Then you have idot people like Aide Castro who are so desperate to get on council to take their turn on politics.
At least Aide is for the people and will get things done for our city. What has Fish Face Leticia aka LaTisha done for us?
I'm voting for Aide for one reason. She told Maria from the sun to go F$%8k herself. Anyone who can tell that stupid lady where to go is good in my book.
how are the porch monkeys of lynwood doing today?? u know who u are ....................davon, phyills, stephanie, greg woods
Now it is time for all of us to tell Aide to go F$#@ herself.
I completly agree,, Aide will finish what Fernando left undone. Just wait and see,,,,Billy will get his project, Imperial Partners will get a piece of the rock, the old city manager will come back,,,Maria and Aide friends???No way in hell. I've known Maria for years and hell will freeze over b-4 she befriends Aide. Right Maria???
Your, longtime buddy
people in lynwood actually think the politics here matter, there are cum stains compared to the real politics in LA county and the state of CA
all you pee on''s lynwood cum stains should really understand that you are nothing and run a little peice of crap city.

Our problem is not just here in lynwood...this is what a prominent Black athlete recently said about Latinos:
"teams choose Latin players over black players because Latinos are stupid and can be controlled. I know a lot of players that are home now that can outplay a lot of these (Latino)guys."
It's pretty ironic that this man who's long been publicly critical of the way that Blacks are treated and viewed would make such sweeping generalizations of an entire people (Latinos) himself.
This is the same thing happening here. I don't understand how this guy (and Lynwood residents) can talk about Blacks being discriminated and then in turn hold racists views about another ethnic group--in this case, Latinos.
If somebody had said such a thing about Blacks, the backlash would be incredible.
See, it just shows how true an old adage I've always had is:
People say they want equality. What they really want is superiority!
It boggles my mind how 5% of Lynwood (Blacks) expect 50% (and more) of city resources!
FACT OF THE DAY: The City of Lynwood budgets more money for Black cultural events than for Latino events. Look it up!
How is that fair? BUT you know what? Maybe he is right because WE LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS (Phatis, Mr. Woods, Shawn Powell, canTnisha, etc.....)!!!!
Lazy Latino? You're FIRED!.
Lazy Black? oh, we cant fire the black guy, they might call me rascist....
What do you think about that?
- Gen X
I saw a comedian perform this weekend and he talked about how sensitive Blacks are.
When someone puts down person who happens to be Black, they say "Look what he said about US."
BUT when Blacks say something about another race, they say" I was just talking about that ONE Mexican"
So true.

I agree, that small group of Lynwood Black's continued rants of conspiracy theories and "The Man" holding them down do nothing but paint you as laughable and sad.
This attitude epitomizes the "victimhood" culture that many new generation and great Black writers say about being the bane of the black community.
Many local & succesful Blacks have become spoiled, elitist, race-bating, people who are mad at the world for the new Latinos in town. They play the race card at THEIR every indiscretion and perceived lack of respect towards them.
Phatis, canTnisha Shawn Powell - Respect is EARNED - not freely given out.
What have you ever done to deserve the respect of ANYONE, regardless of the color of their/your skin ?
The sad part is that you could choose to have a positive impact on our community, Blacks and Latinos, and you still choose......yes, CHOOSE.....to be self-perceived "victims" of "The Man" with inferiority complexes you blame on others. ITS NEVER YOUR FAULT!
Maybe if you weren't so catered to by Mr. Byrd, Richards, Leticia etc...you'd understand that four hour lunches with Lorene, not doing any actual work and having others cover for you, never holding yourself accountable, and being self-centered narcissists IS NOT part of your inalienable rights in your pursuit of happiness. . . . . .
Have A Nice Day. (Seriously, because Mr. Byrd and friends will soon be gone).
- The Man
Maria and Aide are friends right now out of convenience. Even Ramon is in there in the midle like a little bitch. Even though he (Ramon) knows that fat billy bankrolled Aide in the last Campaigne and paid for all the hit pieces against him. Maria knows this too but she is also playing the stupid part something that she knows how to do very well.
To my Black Community:
Thank you.
As if it wasn't hard enough to get ahead as student due to racial stereotypes. Now, not only am I a gun-toting, rapping, dog-fighting, strip-club visiting, money hungry wife beater, reverse racist, but now I am also incapable of doing what I'm told by my coaches, teachers and bosses.
Way to go. We need new leaders.

Criticism is not always an expression of jealousy, fear or racism. Criticism can be a sign of respect. Someone might think so highly of you that they might try to wipe away the imperfections that are standing in the way of you reaching your stated goals.
People like LeBron James are carrying a message by example that all of us (black people) need to digest. He was railed for his performances in the first two games of the playoffs vs. Detroit and look how he responded. Now look at how Michael Vick responds. Michael Vick’s evolution as a player and a person has been stalled because he can’t deal with criticism, and his enablers reject all criticism as racist. (Hey Lynwood, does that sound familiar?)
Getting defensive and dismissing criticism as racism might be preventing us from receiving our blessing, our salvation.

phyills cooper is laziest overpaid cow in the city. there is a reason everybody writes thsi stuff about her...phatis is it really that everybody is wrong and your right?
-jackie
The only thing she EVER has been right about is having a craving for bird balls.
This is not a black and brown issue. This is about two Mexicans and two blacks who made very ignorant and stupid mistakes. Don't allow yourself to be fooled by the racial card. That is exactly what this council is trying to do. They want the community to think that it's browns against the blacks. Don't be fooled.
Fat Billy has a DDA for his project. He should be in default for not moving on the project. The project should be cancelled. You could make $20 per sq. ft. deals work all day long in housing. Fat Billy only wants to pay a couple of dollars for the land and have the City pay the difference. Bad deal, who'll be going to jail on this project.
Ok people of Lynwood, guess who started the recall? Non other than....Santillans lover, keep digging...Lynwood
The recall was started by Sylvia and Aide. Maria and Ramon are just riding the wave taking credit for doing nothing.

You are a waste of space thinking like you do and making blanket statements about a whole race.
That is uncalled for and just plain STUPID. You DO NOT represent Latinos and are a disgrace to us.
Of course, you will continue to post idiotic views here and other places ANONYMOUSLY, but we know that you are probaably some high school drop out working at the Orange Julius and you are mad at the world for that.
So Sad.
- A Real Latino
Billy isn't the one to blame for his DDA. Its the staffs faulty.
The DDA for fat Billy was approved illegaly by the Council at the urging of the then City Manager Enrique Martinez. No one from the Redevelopment staff can provide us with a copy of that DDA. Some of the staff did inform us that the DDA was approved without the right environmental documents. This was a bad deal then and still remains a bad deal. Who's going to jail for this project?
Thanks for the credit!!!!!!!
See this article: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-lynwood5jun05,0,7438951.story?coll=la-home-center.
You guys are looking at the wrong DDA deals. Billy's is actually the most legit.
There is nothing legit about Billy's DDA. Those supporting it are those that owe Billy favors or he contributed to their campaign.
Someone needs to find Luis and ask him how much Billy paid him to get his DDA approved.
I'm down with BROWN, cuz Black is Whack!
"I think black people should get a life. All they do is complaint about other race especially hispanics".....NO sweetheart what you need to do is make sure when you are trying to make a point (and you are trying to "blast" a race), you try and make sense. Because you my dear, sound highly, highly UNEDUCATED. And your point, might I add, is RIDICULOUS! Just make sure that you make at least a little bit of sense next time. And maybe then, will your point sound at least a little bit more relevant...
BLACK IS WHACK!
Before you continue to put African Americans down, do some family research!! Yes you to might have that good ole African Blood in your veins.
"Say It Loud! I'm Black and I'm Proud'
Question. What do you say about a Latino person who clearly has that good ole African Blood in him or her? Do you reject that person, or do you treat that person with the love the he or she deserves. Maybe someone from the Raza could answer something that I have been curious about.
Why do Latino and African Americans dislike each other? What can we do to get along with each other? How are certain families dealing with their child mixing (having kids) with the other race? Should this be okay? Or is the dislike for each other that strong.
Lets get over all this racial non sense and focus on the real issues. Like the fact that if Ramon gets elected he and Silicone Santillan plan to bring back that little short shit of a man, N. Enrique Martinez. This is stupid. There are plenty of qualified City Managers out there why shold we settle for something that didn't work and left a bunch of debt behind. Bringing him back is as stupid an ideal as Aide Castro being a concil person. How much of a bigger laughing stock can we as a City become.
You better face it! Aide and Ramon will get in. I plan to walk and talk for the both. If I walked to get rid of the current council, you think I won't be sucessful in supporting these two leaders? Come on, stop questioning my potential.
These two have votes to spare!!!!
Aide also has a house and $ 40,000.00 that she stole from the city of Lynwood. I'm only hoping that you're ready to let her steal a lot more than that. She is corrupt, more so than her cousin.
Lets spare our community of this humilation that it will face with a person like Aide on Council.
Aide and Ramon!
Ramon el mamon. Was ineffective the last four years he served on council.
Aide big mount no nothing. Will continue in the legacy of Fernando Pedroza. She stole City money what more to you need to know about who she is.
