Monday, June 4, 4:23 a.m.


Good very early morning.
I wanted to republish this article from Los Cerritos Community Newspaper from February 7, 2012.
This is the print edition from that week in which LCCN broke the news about the criminal probe inside the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office.
 It is important to remember the history of how this "whole thing came to light." Why? Because community newspapers still matter in America.
Thanks to the hundreds of sources who have been there for LCCN during these past six to nine months.
Facts are important.
Getting ready for what is going to be another amazing week. Yep. Rise and shine.
BTW: How did we find out about this entire situation in the first place, and why us, and how in the world did we get all of the dots connected?
 It's called "old school investigative reporting."
 Stay tuned, fill you in with more details later today. I need a couple more hours of sleep....

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has opened up a formal inquiry into the activities of Assessor John R. Noguez, Los Cerritos Community News has learned exclusively.
Noguez, who was elected in November of 2010 is the subject of a probe that was launched on November 18, 2011, LCCN can confirm.
In an interview with David Demerjian, Senior District Attorney with the Office of Public Integrity, a complaint was filed late last year and that “an inquiry has commenced.”
LCCN has also been told by four senior members who work at the highest levels for Noguez that that the focus of the probe revolves around the relationship between Noguez and Encino businessman Ramin Salari.
Salari is the owner of Assessment Appeals Services, LLP. According to their company website, Salari touts his company’s ability to help “over 6,000 property tax reassessments with a high success rate.”
Noguez spokesman Louis Reyes said that “they have not received anything whatsoever from the District Attorney’s Office.”
