It was an interesting night for local politics, with 100% of the vote in the ABC Unified School District was finally able to pass a badly needed infrastructure bond,the first since the 1990’s. The bitter battle between mostly Cerritos residents who opposed the measure, and proponents of the bond got very dirty, with opponents once again outright lying on social media and in their campaign materials. One person established three fake facebook pages to battle the bond, and he does not own a house in Cerritos but his name rhymes with Duhsai.
ABC bond election results

| No | 9,145 | 44.15% |
In other election results, Hawaiian Gardens gained three new young candidates, and with the vitriolic “Pastor” Barry Bruce gone, the Council meetings should be less of a sexual harassment misogynistic affair.
Gone too is the Bruce crony, incumbent Marianna Rios.

Speaking of Hawaiian Gardens, locally born and raised A. Veronica Sauceda won her Judge bench. Sauceda went to elementary and middle schools in HG and graduated from Artesia High.

| A. Verónica Sauceda (N) | 862,021 | 57.51% |
| Alfred A. Coletta (N) | 636,978 | 42.49% |
Long-time Councilman Victor Manalo was ousted in Artesia with newby Rene Trevino taking the second spot.
Can you say 4-1?
Trevino will likely be an outsider, to win his seat, he bashed the City (which has a huge budget surplus) and lied about the Sheriff’s station crime statistics (down 30% this year); and someone might file a complaint with the FPPC for Trevino coordinating with an independent expenditure committee.

State Senate 32
Former Pico Rivera Mayor Bob Archuleta rolled over his opponent Rita Topalian in the heavily Democratic district, he will be taking the seat from former Montebello Mayor Vanessa Delgado.
Delgado spent millions to lose her Montebello seat only to sit in the Senate for three months and not do anything, kind of like Asm. Cristina Garcia, not very good planning on Delgado’s part.

Central Basin Division 3
Long time Director/President Art Chacon beat his opponents by a 2-1 margin, overcoming deadbeat Leticia Vasquez’ endorsement of Servando “I did not money launder” Ornelas.
Ornelas raised $50,000, but $41,000 was a “personal loan,” Ornelas makes $85,000 in regular pay as a Probation Officer.
Deadbeat Vasquez has postponed the hearing to grant HMG-LCCN Publisher’s Brian Hews’ attorney’s fees three times since her humiliating loss in court in a frivolous defamation case filed by her and her attorney/husband Ron (one lawyer law firm) Wilson and their Crenshaw Crony Nana Gyamfi, who was suspended twice for two years and “significantly harming a client.”
Deadbeat Vasquez’ endorsement might have been the kiss of death for the young Ornelas, who apparently did not know Vasquez was recalled from Lynwood City Council in 2007 for misusing public funds and (wait for it) raising water rates.
Division 3 results
| Arturo Chacon (N) | 15,260 | 49.07% |
| Servando Ornelas (N) | 8,611 | 27.69% |
| Diana Santiago Bagne (N) | 7,230 | 23.25% |
Central Basin Division 5
Like Chacon, long-time Director/President Bob Apodaca rolled his opponents by a 2-1 margin, once again fighting off deadbeat Vasquez’ attempt to pack the board with young dumb directors.
Like Chacon, Apodaca will be able to vote on the wage garnishment of deadbeat Vasquez once Hews’ January hearing rolls around.

Is there any source regarding the 3 fake facebook accounts? I see no link to a news story or source for this news. Also, it is very weird to say this person’s name rhymes with “Duhsi”. What does that even mean? How do you pronounce “Duhsi” and why is this relevant?
More interesting than the election results is this baseless news story. It is stories like this that empower people like DJT to call out biased fake news.
Given the opinion-filled nature of this debate, the news media should not be stating whether the infrastructure upgrades are needed or not.
Having said that, I did vote for BB, because I support the bill’s cause.

What a choice voters had between pervert racist Cristina Garcia and a Trumper in a super-majority Latino district. The GOP, or an independent had a real opportunity to at least put this bitch on notice, but the GOP let a pre-ordained loser run with their full support. Idiots. They deserved to lose the house.
