ALT LA Podcast October 10, 2023 Episode 232 BITTERSWEET DEM PHONIES On the one-year anniversary of the Fed Tapes, Scott, Alissa, and Rachel discuss the legacy of the shocking scandal — including two new lawsuits, proposals for charter reform, and how the participants are working hard to rehabilitate themselves in public. And ethics charges are finally filed against yet another councilmember, John Lee, also known as “City Staffer B.” Revisit our emergency episode from one year ago
“These people didn’t get together to talk about Mike Bonin’s family. That’s not why they were there. You can say, as apparently Nury is saying, it’s a high-pressure job and sometimes that makes me racist. No, they were there to do a racist thing.” 🎧 thelapod.com
"City Council has taken no action on the conduct of their colleague John Lee. City Council has sought no investigation into the conduct of their colleague John Lee. The citizens of Los Angeles expect and deserve more."
From our own Scott Frazier in 2021

🗳️ Final thoughts on the CD 6 election

The DA's case against Curren Price is weak compared to previous corruption cases: it requires reading actions easily explained by inattentiveness or incompetence as weird and inconsequential scheming. bennywally.com/2023/06/15/th…
From co-host Scott Frazier: "If I were more conspiratorially minded, I might suspect that the Assistant District Attorneys were purposefully setting their hated boss up for a public and embarrassing fall."
Yes, the non-conspiracy explanation, as with the allegations against Curren, is thorough incompetence -SF teapawt.net/DbPeligro/status/16693…
