Villaraigosa Sells Commission Seat to Campaign Contributor

.
Villaraigosa wasted no time in replacing Marie Atake. He sold the seat to longtime LAAS Volunteer Irene Ponce who bought her seat in September of 2004 with a $500 contribution to Villaraigosa’s mayoral campaign.

Ponce is no friend of ADL, but she is a close friend of Ed Boks and Pia Salk—another close and alleged ex-girlfriend of Boks, who Ed gave a $20,000 contract for a trivial study. This $20,000 bought Ed access to Big Money and a shot at celebrity-hood in Southern California. Villaraigosa and Boks both belong to the Tammany Hall school of the spoils system.

Irene is Boks' lap dog although he describes her as his pitbull.

She says about ADL and an article written by Ann Angelino:

This article is totally misleading! If these ADLLA folks who wrote this article would help stage adoption events or help to pass legislation in the best interest of animals that would be great! But all they do is make inflammatory remarks! They are just home-land terrorists! ADLLA does not lift a finger to really help the animals in the shelters. It would help if they staged spay/neuter events, rather write these stories that are full of lies.

Well Irene, hope when you get to know Ed better you can see through his charm and that the ADL is doing exactly what has to be done to save animals—getting rid of Boks.

I've always like Irene, but haven't spoken to her in a long time.

Hopefully she has already seen through Boks. I can't imagine that anyone hasn't.

At least he picked an animal person. She has given countless volunteer hours at the shelters. That would be wonderful if all the commissioners were required to do that first. At least she knows the reality of what's going on in the shelters.

Thanks for the update Ed M.!

Again, I say to you, you are wasting your time and energy attacking Boks, unless all you want is approval from Pam and Dr. Jerry. ADL is known to be psychos by almost everybody, except maybe five or six other nuts. Word is getting out that Ed Musika is a tool of ADL. Your petty, vindictive attacks on Boks are nasty, negative and accomplish nothing good. The mayor is clearly committed to Boks and the mayor HATES ADL. The mayor will not fire Boks like he did Stuckey and risk appearing to cave in to ADL. Everybody knows ADL is mentally unwell and a failure.

Try to change course and do something positive by helping the animals get adopted out of the shelters, and getting the city to provide more spaying and neutering.

What evs...

To Naysayer:

Firing Boks would not be caving into the ADL. It's hard to find someone that doesn't want Boks gone that cares about what happens to the animals. He would be honoring the wishes of a large majority of the humane animal community by replacing Boks.

Irene has swallowed Boks' bull hook, line and sinker. She's just so happy for a pat on the head from Boks that she will attack anyone who disagrees with him. Boks has been using her to attack ADL and others. He can't publicly call ADL a "home land terrorist" so he uses Irene to call them names. He tells people that Irene is his "pitbull" because she attacks people who don't kiss Boks' ass.

They need to fire Boks before he gets the City into any more trouble. It'd make sense if Boks just leaves on his own. He can make up some excuse like his kids are sick, he is sick, his girlfriend is sick. Boks here could really embarass the Mayor if he stays. He's already spinning totally out of control. I expect more drunken episodes, maybe a DUI, car accident or he'll just do something incredibly inappropriate.

I am not a tool of ADL but I share a common interest: bringing LAAS and the County to No-Kill.

No matter how much pressure I put to get more animals spay/neutered, perhaps I can get a few hundred more. But, if Boks or Mayeda were replaced, thousands more might be saved.

Using your logic, I would better serve peace if I helped manufacture bullet proof vests for troops in Iraq fighting Bush's war for peace.

What if Bush's strategy does not work? Will more of the same help create peace?

What if Boks' methods do not work? Should we do more of the same?

Naysayer, who are you to speak of negativity? Every other of your sentences is strongly disagreeing with someone, and every third of your comments I cannot post because you so are bitter, angry and vindictive, that what you say is only meant to hurt.

Son of naysayer, or should we say, Irene Ponce. Is this proper behavior for a commissioner?

You post this same thing everywhere. Remember this?

"This article is totally misleading! If these ADL folks who wrote this article would help stage adoption events or help to pass legislation in the best interest of animals that would be great! But all they do is make inflammatory remarks! They are just home-land terrorists! ADL does life a finger to really help the animals in the shelters. It would help if they staged spay/neuter events, rather write these stories that are full of lies."

The Mayor did fire Stuckey. He caved to the public. He promised all of us that he'd fire Stuckey, so he finally did. ADL isn't the only one against Boks. So is the Alliance, two commissioners, rescuers, almost all of the councilmembers, City Attorney, most of the employees, Union head, Personnel Dept, Public Safety Committee, Budget and Finance committee, a few journalists... Go to New Yorkand Arizona and you'll see more. The only people who support him now are a few women he dated whom he didn't yet burn and a kiss ass groupie.

Son of Naysayer ≠ Irene Ponce!

Don't try to pin my anger on Ponce. She is not me. I am your Son of Naysayer; you shall not have false Sons-of-Naysayer!

I think it would be better to suggest ways of getting the U.S. to disengage from Iraq than to just keep saying "Bush must go, Bush must go" because your chanting will not remove Bush from office and (as of today) it will not cause the mayor to defenestrate Boks. "Dream all the impossible dreams you want, but fight fewer undefeatable foes."

Remember "Stuckey had to go, Stuckey had to go;" okay, you got your wish, what do you want to wish for now?

ADL is known as terrorists and by bearing Dr, Jerry's swords, you are just as ludicrous and pathetic as the sad couple have made themselves.

How many animals did you save by destroying Heidi's car?
You can't accomplish anything. You don't understand the problem, you don't understand the situation inside the department, all you're doing is protesting like spoiled little children.
