I want to publicly thank the publisher and editor of the Los Angeles Times for giving proper credit to Los Cerritos Community Newspaper on their on-line edition over the ongoing expose on the District Attorney's probe of Los Angeles County Assessor John R. Noguez. I also want to thank the dozens of good, honest people who work inside the Assessors office for their per
sistence, drive and determination for wanting to get "out in the open" once and for all. This is about a free and open society and how a local community newspaper can still be a vital voice in the world around us.

LCCN has a tremendous amount of respect for Los Angeles Times Pulitzer Prize winning reporters and editors who are now actively involved in this probe.

I sure hope the rest of the media corp here in Southern California can follow our lead.

I would like to publicly that the Los Angeles Times for giving proper credit to Los Cerritos Community Newspaper for our efforts in breaking this story three weeks ago. Community newspapers are the heart and soul of America and will always have a proper place in our society. This situation is about keeping our government accountable and the ability of a FREE MEDIA to still exist in our society. Thank you LA Times. BTW. There is a tremendous amount STILL unfolding. Stay tune!

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.”
