Excuse me, your cover is blown

Excuse me, your cover is blown.

Managers leaving the DWP during the buyout said this would happen...

Still, DWP employees are suffering retaliation at the hands of illegitimate managers and Union bosses. We thank Jeffrey Anderson for his article “The Lid Comes Off: Secret memo to Mayor Hahn lays blame for DWP’s woes on union control.”

Civil Action Press salutes the growing number of brave individuals stepping forward to voice their concerns against this overwhelming dysfunctional management regime at DWP. Hopefully readers realize that for Hahn to allow this entrenchment he has had to have condoned it from the start. Further, citizens should be asking why Hahn has sat on Assistant General Manager Chaudhry's memo since September.

Villaraigosa is no new Union player here either. He sat in the Council Chambers and listened to lines of DWP employees complain. It does not look good for the council members not to have taken action. In fairness to Councilmen Bernard Parks and Tony Cardenas, they both have acted to bring about a motion to investigate allegations of employee retaliation in the Commerce, Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Albeit, their actions seem like token gestures in the grand scheme of things.

Bob Hertzberg has made a good start asking for Board resignations. But let’s face it. It is only a start. And it might be just campaign rhetoric. The reports from the troops are that D'Arcy and company are well entrenched and even better fortified. The organization is riddled with cronies.

Walter Moore has been hollering corruption from the start. Maybe a hokey Republican is what we need.

Alarcon (accented o) ... Should we join the employees and sue?

The scores of ill-gotten appointments and promotions for cronies need to be undone and set right. The administrative manual of the DWP sets forth the appropriate corrective action. The fact that Rock Delgadillo has spent over a $1 million to run unopposed seems more of an effort to distance himself from the City Attorney's Office involvement in defending corrupt managers and these retaliatory personnel actions than a run for mayor. It should be fairly obvious by now that the City Attorney's Office and the attorneys in DWP management can't distinguish right from wrong.

So which mayoral candidate has the backbone and the wherewithal to issue the pink slips?
