What else can go wrong? You have to ask well let me school you this. Leung is directly tied to Judy Chu yes sir go to the federal election committee web site contribution disclosure report. opps there is is another felon who needs a refund stand in line cause Tei Fu Chen is waiting for his $2400. Who is he? well another felon look it up ICE raided his Dim Sung a couple of moons ago not only tax evasion, conspiracy oh yeah and to prove what I am conveying to you readers go to the HomeLand Security Web Site Immigration Custom Enforcement and ooh there it is. So let's do an inventory when it comes to judgment Judy Chu comes up very short so why should we send her to Congress when she is so close to these kind of people, Think about it, follow the money people. Leung even hosted a Coffee With Your Congressional Candidate oh and who was the madrina Pat the Councilwoman of El Monte. hmm we keeping it in the family. well I hope they plan to visit Leung and take him bath jell Herbal mint cause he better not drop the soap.
I am so glad that there is an election on July 14 for the Congressional 32

Jay Gomes is living in la la land. You will not find a developer to take this nightmare on. No way no how. This stupid Transit Village will never go up. It has bad carma. Anyone dealing will it will find it to be a waste of time and money. The city had invested $3 million. Bad judgement call. Just like all their other calls...bad.

Well lets not forget the people who got eminently domained out of their property, got beautified codified, strongarmed and intimidated. All those closed council sessions.

I dont think the Pacific Towers and the senior apartments are paid up yet. I suspect there was a lot of fraud embezzlement forgery etc there.

Makes you wonder why our city council is sitting on the redevelopment agency, putting their names on bonds....

Where there is smoke there is fire, Mr Leung is innocent until proven guilty, but I am sure this is the tip of the ice burg.

I appreciate the individual who had the courage to go to the FBI.

El Monte Transit Center/Village well it is like the titanic, we all know what happened to it.

There are other people in el monte who know the truth, let them step forward, let's let some truth and light in. There is strength and protection in numbers....

The AB bill was jut the beginning John is on the water board too he has used his ties with the political arena and the politicians like Judy Chu have benefited$$$. Now we can review archives from December 2002 when the AB bill was introduced hmm if memory serves me correctly we have a big connection here I was reading the bio directly from San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District web site I will attach it blow so who was City Councilwoman back in the day Judy Chu-Monterey Park this two are like peas in a pod. Wake up people this is not the person to send to Washington . There will be a run off election on July 14 for the Congressional seat that was left vacant by Hilda Solis.

John S. Leung is the Board Member of Division II, the northern section of the City of Monterey Park and the southern section of the City of Alhambra. Mr. Leung was first elected to the Board in 1992, and re-elected in 1996, 2000, and 2004. John ran unopposed in 2008 and will serve until November 2012. He served as Vice President of the Board from 1999 to 2003 and currently serves as Secretary of the Board
Keep researching for yourselves there will be more connections oh and another person was arrested

So Mr. Gomez thinks this project will turn things around for the city by creating more jobs? Where was the city support when Gregg Industries was closing and hundreds of people were losing their jobs? It's my feeling that El Monte is in for more hard times what with the closing of so many business' and major police and political issues. Looks like things are going to get a lot worse before they get better!

El Monte needs change and needs new blood with new thinking to get out of the mess we're in. I am hoping with my candidacy for City Council and those that are going to be elected this Nov 3rd can give El Monte the new direction it desperately need.
