Central Basin Water Director Leticia Vasquez is just like Donald Trump, the offices she was elected to, Lynwood and Central Basin, were both thrown into controversy and dysfunction during her tenure; she was recalled from Lynwood in 2007 and has been a lightning rod of controversy at Central Basin since her election in 2012.
Now she is turning her attention to the California State Senate, and the voters in the 33rd District must stop her.
Here is the acerbic Vasquez’ latest maneuver in her “campaign.”
33rd candidates and supporters please take note:
Vasquez lost the case, you can publish whatever you want related to the case.
She and her attorney-husband Ron Wilson – Stanford’s proudest – sent out a letter blatantly threatening 33rd State Senate District candidates, some of whom are City Council-persons, with defamation. Wilson also brazenly sent the same poorly written letter to the candidate’s supporters.
The letter threatened a lawsuit if any candidates or supporters printed or published anything from the HMG-LCCN defamation lawsuit that Vasquez lost in 2017.
33rd candidates and supporters please take note:
Vasquez lost the case, you can publish whatever you want related to the case.
In fact you can also say Vasquez lost, HMG-LCCN obtained a judgment, then filed a motion for mandatory attorney’s fees against Vasquez.
Scott Talkov, of the Riverside based law firm of Reid and Helyer, who represented HMG-LCCN against Vasquez and won, chuckled at the letter.
“Unless people speaking poorly about Vasquez have knowledge of falsity or a reckless disregard for the truth, any lawsuit by Vazquez would be dismissed by the court and attorney’s fees ordered against Vasquez,” Talkov stated.
He continued, “please circulate a letter from me to anyone who is sued for defamation by Vasquez stating I will defend them and obtain a judgment for attorney’s fees.”
Talkov concluded saying, “it seems to me that politicians like Vasquez should get out of the kitchen if they can’t stand the heat of the First Amendment.”
That is the point; Vasquez cannot handle the heat, which is why she should not be elected.
The one page threatening letter Wilson sent to the candidates had evidence that basic Microsoft Word acumen, rudimentary high school civics knowledge, and voting calendars do not exist at his law firm, calling into serious question the capacity of both Vasquez and Wilson to hold and/or represent a state office.

2UrbanGirls wonders how Vasquez will respond to these recent allegations of threatening candidates.
