PUBLIC BLOG HEARING: Low Income Housing Project Being Built on EPA Hazard Waste Site in Los Angeles City

HERE'S THE KIND OF STORY SOMEONE SENDS ME THAT IS KINDA OVER MY HEAD, AT THIS POINT, BUT LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE PUBLIC VETTING COULD HELP SHED SOME LIGHT:

[FROM ZUMA'S "ZAP" (ZUMA'S ACTIVIST PROGRAM) INBOX: zumadogg@gmail.com]

Hey Zuma Dogg,

Currently at 1805 Sichel Street there is a low income housing project being built on an EPA Hazard Waste Site known as "Nu-Way Plating". There is no record to any environmental impact study being done or if you go to the site you can see that there is not protection from possible wind blown contaminants. The fence that you see there now was placed after much political pressure to the Department of Building and Safety because demolition was being conducted in a completely open environment that was very dangerous for children to be playing in.

and it is being built by one of John Huskey LLC's.

All the money to construct 1805 is borrowed money, none of the developer's own money can be traced. How can the be, you might ask?

For starters could it be any easier than to sit on a board that determines how money is to be allocated for Housing, who will be approved for funding and under what criteria.

Then make sure that all your projects are under different LLCs that can not be traced to your corporation.

Then make sure that you and your employees make the right monetary political contributions to previously starving students turned politicians.

These are the kinds of issues that Neighborhood Councils should be involved instead of political lobbying for their own causes, previous bosses or favorite politicians.
