EXCERPTS from LAist.com interviews:

6. What's the best thing that has happened since you started doing community activism?

The answer to that question is easy...the diversity of community spirit that I have experienced since I first arrived at City Hall. People started to approach me inside council chambers, and tell me they see me speaking about Venice on TV, and could I please mention (insert shady issue here affecting them), so I felt that was an honor and a lot of those people are now my best friends who I speak with on a day to day basis – and they are all people I previously would have walked right past without a second glance, about a year ago. The best thing to happen to me is how the people of Los Angeles have tutored and mentored me on all these issues. I’m good at re-capping it in two minutes on the radio or TV, but the people feed me everything, for the most part. Click here for full post

FROM: Dear LA City Council...Love, Zuma Dogg

I think Councilmembers are missing out on a real opportunity to take the power of those City TV 35 cameras and use it for more than dog and pony show photo opportunities and campaign grandstanding. Councilmembers are sounding and looking like Top 40 deejays, during the grunge rock era. A little corny and no ones buying it. Click here for full post

FROM: Q: 1. Zuma's campaign promises if running for mayor.

ZD: Well, if I were running for mayor, I would continue to speak about the exact same things I have been talking about all year. Because since you only have two minutes for comment, or a few minutes on a radio call, you want to try and talk about the most important issues, affecting the most amount of people, Citywide, that needs the most amount of transformation.

Currently, I would start with LAUSD. You can read exactly what I would start with in my campaign speech, because it is actually included here. Click "READ MORE" FOR ENTIRE MAYORAL CAMPAIGN SPEECH. (What ZD feels is the message that will connect with voters.

ZD WANTS TO KNOW: Would You Vote "Yes" or "No" on More BOND MONEY For LAUSD & "Subway to the Sea" (from LAist.com)

The city and state are basing some of their major plans on the fact that you are going to vote to approve more bond money out of your checking account to pay for the transportation they haven't yet built to accommodate all the high density housing they have already started. (And traffic is already bad enough.)

So if the city feels "subway to the sea" and high-speed "magic bullet trains" are part of the plan, are you willing to vote for the billions and billions it will cost, that you will have to pitch in for? Click here for full post

School construction: If LAUSD came to you and said, "Will you vote for more bond money to build more schools." How would you vote:
