"....city administrations in Hawthorne have become a joke. Men, like the present officials, are elected to the city council without regard to intelligence and ability." - September 7, 1950 editorial, page 1 - Hawthorne Tribune as quoted in the book "Policing Hawthorne" (pg. 50)

Ever wonder why Guidi supports all those questionable projects?

"Team Guidi" Wannabe Thierry Lubenec sure looks like Guidi's replacement for Disgraced & Indicted Councilman Louis Velez. Official records show as of  Sept. 22, 2007, Lubenec's campaign is 100% funded by a Beverly Hills Developer, Guidi and Lambert!  CALIFORNIA FORM 460 DISCLOSURE HERE.

 "Team Guidi" member Councilwoman Ginny Lambert tells voters she funds most of her own campaign.  That's not what she told the State of California!

"Most of the cash contributions that's in my account comes from my pocket."  .... "I believe in not taking from developers." Records show only 9.3% came from her!

 

Out of $10,747, Lambert only loaned her campaign $1,000.  See for yourself who funds Ginny's campaign. CALIFORNIA FORM 460 DISCLOSURE CLICK HERE.

Councilman Pablo Catano (of  Team Guidi) comments to South Bay Lutheran High School Principal Norbert Huber:

"I think I also have a right to go punch somebody's lights out." I might just jump over (the podium) and go knock them out. I don't take that stuff."

The city of Hawthorne overstepped its own rules and spent thousands of taxpayer dollars to ease traffic in front of the mayor's house and the homes of two council members, city records show......But the real breakthrough, she (Councilmember Ginny Lambert) said, came when she discovered an untapped state account with several thousand dollars earmarked for Hawthorne. She said she couldn't remember the details of that account, except that she persuaded the rest of the City Council to spend some of it on the speed humps on her street.  CLICK HERE FOR STORY

"After researching state and federal  guidance on land use around airports, we have concerns about the safety of people on the ground and those using Hawthorne Airport. While our concerns about noise impacts and structural heights lead us to recommend against this project, we believe safety alone is reason enough to object to it."

USED TRUCK SALESMAN LARRY GUIDI?

(Could this be one of those "brother-in-law" deals you mention so often, Larry?)

"DMV records show that Global Logistics sold the pickup for $800 on June 22, 2000. But the buyer, Hawthorne resident Nohe Rodriguez, told the Daily Breeze that the seller was in fact Guidi and that the true purchase price was $4,000 -- in cash.

'Why does (Guidi) get hooked up?' " said Arias, 23, who worked as a dispatcher for S&W from January to June 2002. "Ernest said, 'Because he votes on our contracts.'" (March 1, 2004 Daily Breeze)

A MAYOR, HIS RIGHT-HAND MAN, & A LOAD OF ....

Arias also said she told Hawthorne police during her interview that on one occasion Guidi and a man she later identified to the Daily Breeze as Velez arrived at S&W in an older model white pickup truck and, with the help of a company worker, loaded the truck bed with goods that had been removed from impounded vehicles and drove away. She said she did not know what happened to the goods, which included car speaker boxes and stereos. (March 1, 2004 Daily Breeze)

"That's an absolute lie," Velez said. "Whether Larry did it or not, you have to ask him."  (Hawthorne Councilman Ludwig (Louis) Velez in the March 1, 2004 Daily Breeze.)
