UPDATE: Los Angeles Council District 14: Huizar versus Pacheco

The race to fill Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's vacated City Council seat (District 14) is heating up. The frontrunners are Jose Huizar (who leads the money race) and former District 14 City Councilman Nick Pacheco. I have lived in the council district since 1994 and it's well known that Pacheco is an *expletive deleted*. However, I don't know much about Huizar except that he is on the Board of Los Angeles Unified School District.

On Friday October 21, the Los Angeles Times endorsed Huizar. However, I live in the heart of the district (near El Sereno) and I see very few Huizar signs but a lot of Pacheco, Jimenez and even Heckmann yard signs.
About a week ago I (and I presume other voters in the district) received a very dashing set of turquoise blue rubber gloves in the mail from some group with the phrase "Hard working Jose Huizar for City Council/Trabajando duro Jose Huizar para Conseja" on each.

My questions for the next Los Angeles City Councilperson in the 14th District are not about how hard working they are but rather:

1. What are you going to do to insure no reduction in cable service and quality when Time Warner takes over 98% of the City's cable market share next year?
2. Do you support California's current Comprehensive Domestic Partnership Law and oppose any proposals (legislative or electoral) to deny previously granted rights and responsibilities to unmarried couples in Los Angeles?
3. Do you support commen sense programs (condoms in prisons and jails, needle exchange, comprehensive sex education) to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS?
4. Do you support an independent civilian oversight board to review police actions?
5. What do you think is the most pressing land use issue facing the City of Los Angeles?

Those are my questions for my prospective City Councilperson. What are yours?
