Patch Blog: ASNC and Monterey Hills Federation Share a Conflict of Interest

Can two individuals on the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council faithfully serve it if they also hold key posts in the Monterey Hills Federation?

There is a conflict of interest between the Monterey Hills Federation and the ASNC.

Darius Adle, one of the two ASNC Monterey Hills geographic reps and PRESERVE ASNC Monterey Hills geographic candidates, is also the President of the Monterey Hills Federation.

The Monterey Hills Federation website makes the following disclaimer at the bottom of its Homepage: “In association with the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council, Monterey Hills Local Issues Committee”.

The Monterey Hills Local Issues Committee consists of Darius Adle and Judy Knapton. The ASNC has appointed Judy Knapton, the current ASNC Treasurer/Monterey Hills geographic rep and PRESERVE ASNC Monterey Hills geographic candidate, to serve as the liaison between the ASNC and the Monterey Hills Federation.

Therein lays the nature of the conflict of interest. There cannot be an “association with” yourself.

False? Wrong!! I have the letter as proof. Did "no way, Jose" write the letter? IfRead More patch wants to see it, let me know. It is the truth.

Janet, I'm with you on your observation that Jose Gardea will give you straightforward answersRead More "without . . . political evasion." He's a refreshing contrast to the candidates we've come to accept. So let's stop accepting them and elect Jose Gardea! Whoever wins is likely in for 12 years. Make the right choice!

Did "no way, Jose" write the letter of support to Divine Saviour Catholic ChurchRead More "encouraging" them to take me to court? (they lost, I won). It was written on city letterhead, clearly a violation of separation of church and state where the city had to business in a public dispute. And, clearly an abuse of power. Come on, Jose, did you write the letter?

Don't vote for "no way, Jose". "No way, Jose" means another 12 years of "doRead More nothing, Ed Reyes". Jose has been in office for 12 years and has done nothing to improve our district. How can anyone think of voting for some one else? EASY!! " CD1 has no jobs, no new businesses, huge potholes, dirty sidewalks, too much violence, and a lot of other problems. Where has "no way, Jose" been? He has not been in the district or attended any neighborhood councilmeetings or any community meetings. LAPD Northeast has been without a neighborhood prosecutor for 3 years due to Jose and his boss budget cuts to the city attorney's office. \ His boss, "do nothing, Ed Reyes" has not even been campaining for him. It looks like "no way, Jose" wants to distance himself from his boss. That will not work. CD1 deserves someone that will work for them and clean up the district and bring in much needed businesses and jobs. Don't vote for another 12 years of "do nothing, Ed Reyes" with his employee, "no way, Jose". Vote for change. Vote for Gil Cedillo.
