Former Los Angeles County Assessor John Noguez slated to appear in Los Angeles courtroom tomorrow

I took this photo of ex-Los Angeles County Assessor John Noguez during a Norwalk City Council meeting...before he was indicted in what former Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley said was the "biggest political corruption scandal in the history of LA County."

Remember when I worked at Los Cerritos Community Newspaper and we exposed the corruption inside the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office.

You know....those hundreds of articles that were written and the thousands of hours spent interviewing massive amounts of sources, both on the record and off the record?

You remember....

Well, five and a half years later....

Indicted ex-Assessor John Noguez will have another day in court tomorrow to see where his criminal case is headed, or if a plea deal will be reached.

I have been on this case for years.

A couple of weeks ago, I sent a formal written request to the media office at the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office to get an update on the case....

Here was there exact response....short and to the point.

"Next court date is June 22 for motions."

So, who is going to be at court tomorrow morning?

The wheels of justice against corrupt politicians takes forever and a day....or years in the c

One last thing....

I am proud of the work we did at Los Cerritos Community Newspaper back then. I still believe that the greatest news outlets in America are right in your own backyard...and in your 'hood!

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.”
