The FBI prosecuted Councilmember Huizar because he interfered with the scripting at PLUM. Once a councilmember agrees to a project, that's supposed to satisfy of "One and Done Rule." One council member bribed and the developer is guaranteed that his project will get unanimous approval at city council. The role of PLUM was to hold so-called public hearings in order to avoid them at city council. Huizar ( and Englander) however would interpose delays at PLUM and often seek more niceties from the developer. In fact, to cur favor with important constituents it is even rumored that sometimes Huizar took citizen's comments seriously! Yes, he had the gall to take citizens' complaints seriously!!! Of course, it seemed that we wanted more than just at the developer address the citizens' complaints.

Well, this was an intolerable breach of the One and Done Rule. Huizar when so far as evening holding up a project at City Council for proof that Ellis Act fees had been paid to poor people. The FBI had no choice but to prosecute Englander and Huizar; they were endangering how LA City Council had become a criminal enterprise to make developers and their politico allies wealthy
