You might think that in a coastal district like California, a principled conservative like Craig Huey would not stand a chance against Hahn, as cities like Los Angeles are usually dominated by liberals, but you would be wrong!Due to it’s unique district lines, and Hahn’s extreme far leftist stances, as well as some very damaging past flubs she’s made, she’s barely a few points ahead of Republican Craig Huey in the latest polls.
Part of Hahn’s damaged record is her involvement in one of the most shameful wastes of taxpayer money we’ve ever seen.
… a 2008 Fox 11 (Los Angeles) story in which investigative reporter Chris Blatchford reported that anti-gang money was going to the gangsters themselves. In the Fox story, Watts gangster Steven Myrick is seen in a 2006 police video claiming that he “worked for” Janice Hahn and “that’s why I’m out (of jail) right now. Miss Hahn got me out like three weeks ago.”
Myrick was released after an arrest for indecent exposure. He was later tied to a 2000 rape and robbery of a woman at gunpoint and was sentenced to life in prison.
The Fox report includes several other examples of men hired as gang-intervention specialists, paid through programs sponsored by the city, who were still actively involved in gang activity.
In the Fox report, Hahn defended the use of “gang-intervention specialists”…
