Cerritos City Council to take action on Commission Roles, and what to do about our Rose Float! My take....

The Cerritos City Council will be determining the future role of City Committees and Commissions and how we as a community should be involved with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses.

COMMISSION PLAN:

The Plan to change the Cerritos commission structure has been debated for the past couple of months.

This plan needs to be defeated by the Cerritos City Council.

If IT AIN'T BROKEN....IT DON'T NEED FIXIN!

Sure, we all need to tighten our belts during these hard financial times. But, lets not throw the baby out with the bath water. We should actually create MORE Committees and Commissions here in CERRITOS, not ELIMINATE them.

Cerritos needs MORE community members to be engaged, empowered, and INVOLVED. The backbone of our community is The People. Not just 5 or 10 or 20 people, but 55,000 people who love Cerritos.

We need to establish a Senior Citizens Commission.

We need to establish a "Human Relations Commission" that out reaches to those with special needs, and to engage our "at risk youth."

We need MORE voices and MORE people to help make our community more caring and compassionate.

This Commission "restructuring plan" was devised by Councilman Joseph Cho and his "brain" trust (Parks Commissioner) Alon Barlevy. It is full of flaws, and needs to be defeated. I hope the Cerritos City Council sees this Proposal for what it is, and for WHAT it IS NOT!

EVERYONE who cares about GOOD Government BY and FOR ALL PEOPLE should speak out against this rotten plan.

ROSE PARADE?

How is the BEST way to get Cerritos down Colorado Boulevard without costing taxpayers a single Dime?

Also to be debated, is HOW and IF the City of Cerritos should be invovled with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade.

I believe the time has come that the community needs to oversee this Project, NOT the City Council.

This must become a true "community project" by and for the community. I recognize the importance of participating in this annual iconic All-American event that is seen by literally BILLIONS of PEOPLE all over the WORLD.

For too long, the Rose Parade Float has been a "pet project" by and FOR the Cerritos City Council.

I support allowing the People of Cerritos, and our Business leaders to fund, coordinate, and plan this ENTIRE project.

We have tons of creative people here in Cerritos, and I think WE can handle this project with GUSTO. By allowing the "People" to coordinate this project, the better our COMMUNITY will be ENGAGED in promoting Cerritos to the World....without costing the taxpayers A DIME.

See you at the People's Podium tonight! What are your thoughts? Write me at Economy4ABC.Blogspot.com@gmail.com

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
