The DA Launches an Investigation of
Huntington Park Councilmember
Karina Macias’ Illegal Kickback Scheme
HUNTINGTON PARK, CA- The District Attorney officially launched an
investigation to look into Huntington Park Councilmember Karina Macias’ illegal
kickback scheme following Sunday’s Los Angeles Times report. Today, the LA
Times released a second story detailing the nature of the start of the
investigation. You may read the article at the following link. (Click here)
Karina Macias is in clear violation of Government Code 1090, which
prohibits this kind of corrupt pay for play politics where city contacts are
awarded and voted on by the same people who personally benefit financially from
them. As a result, Councilmember Macias CAN AND SHOULD be prosecuted for these
crimes and be removed from office for stealing money from our hard working
residents. She is filtering funds into her own pockets and into hands of her
three council colleagues, Mayor Graciela Ortiz, Vice Mayor Marilyn Sanabria and
Councilmember Jhonny Pineda and their friends including their master
manipulator Efren Martinez.

Shame, SHAME on Martinez! |
Huntington Park Councilmember Valentin Amezquita, who worked with the
FBI last year to expose corruption, responds, “At this stage, Karina Macias and
her other council colleagues should be more concerned about the law than about
the election. They should cooperate with the District Attorney with the truth
about why they voted on certain city contracts.”

Laura M. Herrera, a consistent advocate against corruption in
Huntington Park, says, “As much as an
investigation from the District Attorney vindicates many people in our
community that have banded together to fight against corruption, it is also
incredibly disheartening that once again our city’s leaders are shedding
negative light on Huntington Park. It’s
deeply troubling that Karina Macias, along with Efren Martinez, are continuing
the tradition of corruption in the Southeast where Huntington Park residents ultimately
pay the price.”
