The Los Angeles County Grand Jury is a bee hive of political activity this week with the appearance and testimony from six members of Los Angeles City Councilman Richard Alarcon's senior staff.

The list of those who are testifying on Wednesday (I originally reported that they would be at the GJ on Tuesday) about where their boss "actually lives" is an impressive group of rising political stars within Los Angeles City Hall and Democratic Party politics.

Key testimony is expected to focus on two of Alarcon's key political inner circle, his Chief of Staff Saeed Ali, and Communications Director Becca Doten. 

Doten, is also a Member of the Democratic National Committee, as well as a leader with the Los Angeles and California Young Democrats.  Doten is pictured here with Alarcon.

Other key Alarcon staffers who were instructed to appear today are his legislative aide Ackley Padilla who is the brother of state Sen. Alex Padilla and office manager Lidia Soto as well as his executive assistant Nancy Hodges.

Also considered a key witness will be his cousin John de la Rosa (seen above), who serves as his district director.

This case is important.  Elected officials need to live where they need to live LEGALLY...period. 

Too many of our elected officials are cheating and fooling voters and the media sometimes gives "free passes" in covering these type of cases. 

I hope the truth will come out in the testimony in this case. Don't lie boys and girls, it could land you in the slammer. 

We all deserve an open and honest Democracy in America and that includes Los Angeles City Hall!
