On Inglewood California's Crooked "Mayor," James T. Butts Jr.

Consider this: James Butts would have probably repeatedly defended the officers that killed george floyd... exactly like he repeatedly defended the IPD officers that killed kisha michaels and marquintan sandlin in 2016!

Images of "Mayor" James T. Butts Jr.
Although no one should be judged based on a few random facts, actions or images, in the years that James Butts has been Mayor in Inglewood, and really for many years prior, the images demonstrating James T. Butts Jr. as an angry, condescending, arrogant, vindictive, emotionally unstable individual occurred fairly regularly and predictably. They could be seen at City Council meetings any time he didn't get his way, felt embarrassed, anxious or challenged, or when he was desperately trying to hide something from the public at all costs. Please examine the images below, and the background related to those images, and decide for yourself if they depict a respectable, gentlemanly, emotionally stable, Mayor..., or a childish, insecure bully who regularly abuses his power to act out, angrily and hypocritically violating rules, the Law and people's Civil Rights when he doesn't get his way.
In a Feb. 2015 inter-
view, Fox reporter Liz
Habib asked "Mayor"
James Butts pointed
questions about tens
of millions of dollars
in hidden costs to all
of Inglewood's tax-
payers for the new
SoFi football stadium.
Butts was irritable, rude, condescending, very arrogant, dismissive, frustrated and defensive, repeatedly rolling his eyes, shaking his head and looking away, clearly very demoralized because Ms. Habib would not go for the Okie doke.
James Butts Rolling His Eyes At Liz Habib.
James Butts Rolling His Eyes At Liz Habib AGAIN!.
Butts Looks Beaten After Interview
And just to prove that James Butts acting a fool on Fox with Liz Habib was not a fluke, look at Butts actually rolling his eyes again, this time during a very serious discussion, in June of 2020, about the tragic killing of Rayshard Brooks.

And what was James Butts doing on Fox News? Being a camera whore? Yes, but Butts was also playing the typical roll of Fox's conservative pundit, who said that it was "ridiculous" for the Police officer (who was caught on video shooting Rayshard Brooks in the back as he was running away) to be arrested and charged so soon after the killing.
Yep, he actually said that.
Watch the video yourself. https://youtu.be/TS7Lli5jaw4
There He Rolls Again!
<----------
It's no fluke! Jimmy was on Fox News...Again... on 9-14-20. This time he was defending police unions who promote policies that frequently shield bad cops from prosecution. Butts loves to talk, but when the other guest gushed on and on about Trump doing so well as President, Butts said NOTHING that might offend Fox's Republican viewers! He just cowardly rolled his eyes.
Butts gets Punked!
James Butts brags about his time in law enforcement (the facts show he did a poor job). The facts also say he's been a failure on public safety as mayor, with crime rising when he became mayor, then his deceiving the public about rewards, then his claim that newspapers were reporting murders that never happened and his dubious distinction as the ONLY mayor in Inglewood's history who had 4 people killed in a shooting... and had a resident decapitated!
Click here to see the story of the ex-wife of the murdered man who says police are not providing information on the crime, or even return her calls. Oddly, Butts went to the man's church and made a big deal about his offering a reward, a year after he told everyone rewards ddn't work
Mass-murder Mayor
Click here to see the CBS story, which sadly updates that one of the two injured people died after being taken to the hosp- ital. James Butts spends so very much time making back room deals with sports teams and promoting himself that he can't do Mayor 101, the basics, like keeping his citizens alive, let alone keep them
safe! But Butts still acts like a tough
guy, making empty threats against
the killers he NEVER backs up.

How telling was it that James Butts picked such a dishonest public official to come and help him usher in his personal reign of Lies, Law-breaking and violations of Civil Rights as Mayor of Inglewood.
Here's An Example Of How An Incompetent James Butts' Fumbled His Happy Football Dream...
Into A Bloody, Violent Nightmare!
Butts is Happy...
But that stopped...
"Mayor" James Butts actually chose to wear a letterman's jacket to a very serious press conference about a man that was put in a coma as a result of being assaulted at the NFL Championship game at SoFi stadium. Confronted with reporters asking many tough questions about a possible lack of security and police at that game, and conceivably at the Super Bowl, and whether or not police acted quickly enough, Butts became irritated, getting confused, raising his voice, being condescending, scowling, grimacing, and using what he apparently thought were his "magical hands."
Images from
FOX NEWS
Click here to see the press conference
He was...? ...Indignant?
Frustrated... Confused...
Defensive...
Repeatedly... ...Struggling
To stay... ...in control.
And, he was...
back on his heels...
Jimmy's confused!
Progressively... Overwhelmed
"Overwhelmed? Apparently. During the press conference, James Butts repeatedly gave unsubstantiated and even inaccurate info. First he said there was a group of people "mingling" who were wearing "red 49er jerseys." Later, he said he really couldn't tell if they were actually wearing 49er jerseys. He said the suspect was wearing a "Rams jersey." Later he said it was just a yellow jersey; he couldn't really tell if it was a Rams jersey. Then he said the suspect was wearing a red jersey. He said the victim was wearing a "white jersey," but later he said it was a Rams jersey. He said 3 hours after the victim was picked up by paramedics, stadium "security" told the police that the victim was taken to the hospital. But then he said that he was sure that it was the "paramedics" who told police. He made all these mistakes... at a press conference! And when he changed something, he didn't say that he was correcting himself; he just kept changing things, who was wearing what, jerseys changing from white to yellow, from a Rams jersey to just red jersey, the victim wearing a Rams jersey, but then the suspect was wearing a Rams jersey. Butts repeatedly gave vague, unsubstantiated, inaccurate and very confusing info to the public. That is obviously not how you solve a crime or inform the public about a serious incident! Yes, it seems like he was, in fact, "overwhelmed."
The meme to the left briefly points out just some of the many similarities between James T. Butts and Donald J. Trump. Below is a more detailed list. And please understand that every similarity listed below, and many more, is repeatedly evidenced by the Public Record, this includes newspapers, City of Inglewood, State and Federal Public Records and a number of very important Court decisions

James Butts; A bad Mayor sets a bad example
Unless Butts was quarantining with San Diego Charger Owner Dean Spanos and Rams Owner Stan Kroenke, there's no excuse for him to set such a bad example as to be mask-less and not socially distancing with these, and no doubt many other, people at the opening of the SoFi stadium in September of 2020. Butts' cavalier attitude towards the pandemic might be the reason that as of 12-25-21, out of 88 cities covered by the LA County Health Dept., Inglewood consistently hovered around the top 10-15 in overall Covid-19 cases (but being #7 on 12-25-21). Inglewood also hovered for over a year around top 3 to 5 IN DEATHS!!!. That's right, although many of those 80+ cities the Health Dept. covers many more people than Inglewood, Inglewood's residents not only had consistently more cases reported, which could be argued may be due to some cities testing more than others, but Inglewood was consistently around the TOP 3-5 out of 88 in deaths. Not for a day, a week or a month, but for many, many Months!!!
(Long Beach, pop. 466,776, and Pasadena, pop. 141,258, both have their own Health Departments and are not included in these statistics)
Above we see that James Butts doesn't know when to where a mask, but apparently he also doesn't know how to wear a mask. Here, at one of the press conferences he gave about the apparent victim of an assault at the NFC Championship game at the Sofi stadium in 2022, Butts shows himself to be one of the many mentally challenged people who don't know that people frequently breathe through ...their noses, so the mask needs to cover...their noses! Both the police officers behind Butts know how to wear a mask, but not poor Jimmy. Well, at least he wasn't wearing the mask over his eyes!
And Butts isn't just willing to set a bad example for his city by taking a couple of mask-less pictures with NFL billionaires. Oh no, he'll do it with his 4 council members AND 2 people the public doesn't even know or need to know.
Mask-less!
And camera-whore Butts has no problem being the only mask-less member of a council. Other Council's show support for masks during the Pandemic.
-------------------->
L.A. County's website shows that, as of Christmas 2020, there had been 7,397 covid-19 cases in Inglewood and 128 deaths! 9 cities in the county, including Los Angeles have more residents than Inglewood. However, by Christmas 2020, Inglewood was #5 in deaths, behind Los Angeles, El Monte, Glendale and Pomona. If you exclude Los Angeles, which has about 4 million residents, 40 times more than Inglewood, Inglewood is #4 for a larger sized city. 7,397 covid-19 cases rounds up to about 7% of Inglewood's population.
But even with his city being so high in covid-19 cases and deaths for so long, here James Butts is, setting a terrible example, not wearing a mask or socially distancing, as if everything was just peachy.

Yes I am. Yes...I...am.
What a carefree life James Butts had. He's elected mayor, promising to reduce crime, but he feels no pressure to do that (see above). He's a mayor in America, but he feels no pressure to ever respect Civil Rights, follow the Law, follow council meeting rules or even listen to his voters. And he's married, not getting divorced, but he felt no pressure to avoid public events with his mistress...who worked for him
No photo is retouched in any way
And... is this what happens when the wife finds out!

*In all fairness, we could not identify the date of the broken hand.
An apparently broken right hand, and a suspiciously dark & puffy left eye is not a good look for a "man" whose first wife told police that he actually choked her into unconsciousness!
>--------->
A
And, just in case anyone is missing the point made in this section, concerning James Butts' adultery, THIS WOMAN IS NOT HIS WIFE!
<----------------------------<
So let's summarize... Inglewood's "Mayor" James Butts, arranged for a woman, who worked with him on his election campaign, who apparently had little or no experience in the duties to which she was assigned, to be his personal mayoral assistant. And then Butts, a legally married man, either initiated or continued a sexual relationship with the woman, and eventually about tripled her salary, bringing her package to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year (Daily Breeze article: Inglewood mayor’s campaign worker made $312,000 last year as his assistant: www.dailybreeze.com/2018/06/01/inglewood-mayors-campaign-worker-made-312000-last-year-as-his-assistant/). And then, as their adulterous relationship fell apart, he, apparently demonstrated by at least these documents below, fell apart as well, becoming obsessed, labile, filled with "emptiness," and "panicked." Not exactly what you'd want the mindset of a mayor to be. Right? Coincidently," Mr. Butts' mistress was fired by the city and filed a wrongful termination lawsuit. Not exactly the type of responsible behavior you'd want your mayor to engage in. Right?
"Love Letters" from a "Lunk-Head"?
The above documents were featured in a May 3rd, 2022 article on the website, "2URBANGIRLS." The article reports that, "The documents were included in a 74 page filing of McDade's attorney responding to questions Butt's attorneys hopes will lead to the discovery of admissible evidence." This website has not independently confirmed the source of these documents, but we are familiar enough with the reporting of 2URBANGIRLS that we have a high level of confidence in its accuracy.
If these documents were created by James Butts and given to his mistress Melanie McDade Dickens, which it appears there were, it is important to remember that James Butts was 1) married at the time, 2) professed his undying love for a woman who was not his wife, and 3) appear to support Ms. McDade's legal claim that James Butts was obsessed with her and was trying desperately to get her back.
Also, very disturbing is the fact that James Butts, a man who has been married twice and was married at the time and is still married, says in the second letter that before he met Ms. McDade, "Women and their company were only to fill brief moments and hours between accomplishments." What a DOUCHE!!!

*As with the previous documents, we give the same caveat and the same promise to retract or modify this section if conflicting evidence is provided to us. We do not promote or sanction the inaccurate ridicule of expressions of affection or pain by anyone... but... James! You're a Mayor! She worked for you! You were her boss!

So we have just seen clear and overwhelming evidence that James Butts was a failure in two marriages, he took on a mistress who worked for him in a campaign, then gave her a city job and made her his mistress at work, then shamelessly flaunted his adultery around the city, and in City Hall, for about 10 years.
But, despite his well-documented and inarguable failure to live up to his responsibilities in his marriages, James Butts, the crooked, lying, duplicitous candidate, actually had the NERVE to list "Husband" in his list of accomplishments in this segment of James Butts' 2022 reelection campaign website:
And Butts obviously must have forgotten about his failure keeping the "promises" of his MARRIAGE VOWS when he bragged that he had kept his promises.
And let's not forget that Butts' resume as a "father" includes his daughter being arrested and charged for conspiring with another individual to have her landlord attacked and allegedly shot, for some disagreement, a daughter who had run afoul of the law before and who felt the need to literally file to have her name legally changed before she was sentenced.
<-----------------------------<

<--------------------------<
Any prolonged investigation of James T. Butts Jr. will result in the discovery of one constant pattern. James Butts knows that in this small city of Inglewood, with his control of the police and the City Attorney, he has little or no chance of being held accountable for his lies, his breaking of the Law, or even his repeated violations of Civil Rights. His attitude is, "Yea, I did it; and you can't do anything about it." He has been warned by the LA County D.A. for violating the Law, and continued to do so, but being a Mayor, the D.A. obviously doesn't intend on taking action on anything except the most heinous of crimes. The fact that James Butts illegally ran a traffic light in L.A., and almost killed a woman, her small son and even a police officer (see pictures below), and didn't even get a ticket, tells the whole story.
James Butts runs a red light, seriously injuring an LAPD officer, a woman and possibly the woman's young daughter!
And demonstrating that James Butts' disregard for the rules and the law is a real, literal, documented threat to public safety...
Yes, James Butts did this, while driving a police vehicle, that he shouldn't have been been driving, he didn't admit to even being in the accident for a week, then saying that he feels sorry for the officer, but doesn't say he feels sorry for the woman who was injured and her son, both who could have been killed, but he says that they were "uninjured" from the crash, even though the woman was taken away in an ambulance, and he pretends he doesn't know whose fault the accident was, even though he knew that he ran a red light, and cut the woman off, and he says in a council meeting that he will take responsibility for the accident if an investigation says the accident is his fault, but then, even after the city pays some of the bills from the victims... Butts still, still, doesn't take responsibility for running a red arrow.
James Butts runs a blind left turn arrow,
James Butts collides with a woman taking her young son to school,
Butts slams into a motorcycle cop!
Throws the cop into a concrete fountain, sending him to the hospital!
Sends the female driver
to the hospital!
And Butts doesn't even get a ticket!!!!
After James Butts deliberately ran the Red traffic arrow, being late for a USC function, he walked away with only a bloody nose... and one more piece of evidence that proves that he thinks that he is above the law!
However, the victims of James Butts' very reckless act, were not so lucky, they needed medical attention, they suffered pro- perty damage and the officer's injuries were so bad that he was off duty for quite a while, and could still be off.
*Please note: ABC NEWS also showed little concern over the woman and her son"s near death experience, with ABC's title only mentioning the officer.
Click here to watch the frightening
ABC video of near death!
Business Title
***And please know that Butts damaging the city vehicle (and injuring/and almost killing others) by deliberately running a red arrow is not only illegal, but it also violates the City of Inglewood's own Civil Service Rules!

To the left is a self-centered public comment from the reckless James Butts. 20 out of its 77 words were about him! Butts calls the victims of his negligence, a woman and her small child only "occupants," and then lies, saying that the "occupants" were "uninjured." However,
watch the crash. Not only was their being "uninjured", very unlikely, but the woman filed a claim with the city for medical costs due to "serious injuries" (see below). Look at how she left the crash site!
Then Butts tells the public that the officer was going to make a "full recovery." But no one could have known that so soon after such a violent accident! Butts then says that he prayed for the officer, but has absolutely apology or even a prayer for the woman and little boy he could have killed??
<---To the left, the officer's claim to Inglewood shows that over 3 months after the crash (Apr. to Aug.), the officer's medical care and bills were still on-going.
Even the Daily Breeze, a very respected and award - winning newspaper, documents that over 3 months after James Butts hit the officer, and after the officer had injury related costs of $39,000.00, the officer was still expected to need more benefits, likely medical treatment, medical leave, medication, etc. So no, not a "full recovery" yet.
Let's be clear, James Butts used a City vehicle, instead of his own vehicle, which he gets paid to use, to deliberately and illegally run a red light, risking death to others and causing tens of thousands in property damage, tens of thousands in lost wages and ultimately hundreds of thousands in medical bills.

And it should be noted, that although there is no mention of any "injuries" to the little boy, being in a violent crash like that, and seeing his mother taken away in an ambulance, and not knowing exactly what would happen to him or his mother/ guardian, will likely have very long term negative affects that may not be obvious at this time.
To the left is the last part of the Civil Claim against James Butts. The claim implies/asserts that both the driver and the little boy suffered "...permanent physical and mental injuries..."
And, just in case there
is anyone that is naive
enough to think that a
reckless James T. Butts
didn't get very different
treatment than he would
have gotten if he was just
a common citizen, here's
an almost exact example
of an apparently common
man, in an SUV, alone,
driving in Los Angeles,
only a mere 4 miles away,
who also crashed into a
a motorcycle cop, who
was not moving, and sent
that cop to the hospital with serious injuries. As the ABC NEWS story reports, this common man, was arrested and taken to jail.

*
And if you want to be disgusted by seeing how a duplicitous James Butts tries to blame the woman and her daughter for his smashing into them, read the City of Inglewood's court response to the woman's Lawsuit.
In the response, James Butts' attorney, no doubt with James Butts' approval, dishonestly appears to claim that, quote, "...the negligence of the Plaintiffs [the woman and her daughter] caused and or contributed to the alleged damages" and that the woman and her daughter, "...failed to exercise reasonable care and diligence to avoid loss and minimize the resulting damages..." and, possibly the most dastardly claim of all, that the woman and her daughter, by simply driving to school on a public street, "...knowingly and voluntarily agreed to, and participated in, the actions which Plaintiff claims have caused injury or damages herein." Who "agrees to" be slammed into by an SUV??? Just like most predators, James Butts is going to try to blame the victims, including a little girl, for the physical and emotional injuries that he recklessly imposed on them.

James T. Butts gets Inglewood
Sued...Again!
On May 2, 2021, the Daily Breeze reported what this website had reported months ago. The Daily Breeze described how the City of Inglewood, led by James Butts, attempted to defend James Butts' reckless and dangerous act of deliberately running a Red Light by try-ing to... blame the Officer for James Butts hitting and almost killing him!!!
That's right! The Lying, Law-Breaking, Civil Rights Violating, Incompetent, Wife - choking and Child-Beating Adulterer to the left sat in a City Council meeting after the crash and repeatedly said that he was "heart-broken" because the officer was injured..., but then apparently OK'd a legal response that actually blamed the injured officer for... James Butts injuring him. Unbelievable!!!
------------------------------------------------------------
And from the "How is this fool still Mayor" section...
Listen to this!
James Butts said that... the officer who killed Breonna Taylor should NOT have been charged... That the charge was "ridiculous"!
"This was not a situation that should have been resolved with charges. They had a lawful warrant." -- James Butts.
"The charge for Reckless Endangerment is just an appeasement; just an appeasement. And it's just ridiculous." -- James Butts.
Once again, James Butts was on his favorite News Station,
FOX NEWS, playing the role of the Judas Goat. He was once again, defending police officers who killed someone.
"Once the firing started, you can't charge officers for defending themselves." --- James Butts
James Butts thinks that police can kill an unarmed woman in her own home, but a man can't try to protect an unarmed woman from those he thinks are dangerous intruders.
Most odd is this, in this interview, James Butts tried to play both ends, saying that the officer that killed Breonna Taylor should not have been charged, but that he should have been... fired. But... if Butts thinks that the officer didn't do anything illegal, why does he think the officer should have been fired???
James Butts smirks when he hears another guest on the show criticizing the decision to only charge the officer who killed Breonna Taylor with Reckless Endangerment.
Because James Butts is a deceitful conman!

James Butts Gets Slapped Down Trying to be "Big Brother"
(And just to be clear, we don't mean he wants to be "a" big brother, you know, take an actual younger family member, or some other younger person in need of guidance, under his wing, protect them, support them and help them navigate though their life...No! We mean he wants to be "Big Brother," you know, secretly use the government to illegally gather as much personal information on people as possible to use against them later..., like that "Big Brother.")
First, although James Butts and his minions claim that Inglewood's home values rising was caused by James Butts bringing the So Fi stadium to Inglewood..., that's NOT a real thing. Graphed information from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, proves that housing values in the United States, not just in cities that got stadiums, dramatically rebounded from the 2007 real estate crisis in about 2012 and started to rise dramatically again, all over the United States, starting in about 2020. --------------------------------->
So, as housing values in the United
States rose, and with inflation from
the pandemic, Inglewood's housing
values rose as well. Reportedly, some
landlords dramatically raised their rents
and there were individual as well as
organized calls for rent control in
Inglewood. So, just like Butts used the
fact that Sofi didn't have enough park-
ing to charge most residents with cars
for parking permits to park in front of
their own homes, James Butts used the rise in rents to try to tax his constituent's and, apparently, data-mine their personal info, creating "Housing Protection Department."
City Hall repeatedly publicized that in 2022 Inglewood would be requiring that all residential property owners, not just property owners who had rental property, and not just all landlords, but, to quote a City mailer (1), "ALL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES," had to be officially registered with the city by the owners. Again, according to published city documents, and even a legal public notice they put in a newspaper (2), owners of "ALL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES," including single family homes, would be legally required to register their properties with the city, even if "...IT IS NOT BEING USED AS A RENTAL"(2). Those are direct quotes.
Also, here was a city webpage that said that "ALL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS" must register their properties and still another city document (3) said, in bolded and underlined letters, that a resident's home must be registered even if, "...IT IS NOT BEING USED AS A RENTAL." And let's just stop here and agree that everyone knows what the word "ALL" means...right? "ALL" doesn't mean "some" residential properties or "most" residential properties or "certain" residential properties; "All" means "ALL" residential properties.
The fact that people living in their own homes, homes, "NOT BEING USED AS A RENTAL," (3) needed to file registrations and provide financial and personal information to the city was not just in websites and city documents, but James Butts even did a radio commercial reinforcing the message. So James Butts can never say he didn't know about it, that these were actions taken by his subordinates.
And what "registration" information did James Butts and "Housing Protection Department" (HPD) want? City documents say that Butts wanted not only wanted public information, like the property's square footage and
when the property was bought, but also to identify
all those who lived on the property and the name,
address and phone number of those those resident's emergency contacts. And, that official Legal Notice published by the city (2) indicated something even
more intrusive. It indicated that all of Inglewood's homeowners, even if they weren't renting anything,
would not only have to give the city
personal information about themselves,
and their family and/or friends, but
they may also be forced to submit
to a home "inspection" (4). And, of
course the city was also threatening
to financially penalize (2) homeowners,
who lived in their own homes, and
who refused to register, who didn't
want to give up their and their
family's private information. All these
intrusive, unnecessary and likely illegal
requirements evidenced that this was
just another example of how James
Butts blatantly abuses his power to
commit what appears to be the very
definition of governmental overreach.
Obviously, James Butts creating
city ordinances, financial penalties
and other threats to coerce "ALL"
of Inglewood's residential property owners, owners that had no rental property whatsoever, to provide information that clearly appeared to be an invasion of a resident and their family's privacy, was not only unnecessary to enforce rent control, but was likely very illegal. So what was James Butts actually trying to do? There was absolutely no need to get information about "non-rental" properties to control rental properties. So was James Butts trying to use some pretense to data-mine personal information from his constituents?
#1
#2
#3
#4
#5
Residents voiced their anger about this apparent
attempt to violate their privacy, to coerce them out of their
money and and their and their family's personal information.
So, beginning in about November or early December of
2021, it started being reported that city officials were trying
to revise history regarding the residential property registration. Reportedly,
many homeowners were wondering what they could do to stop James
Butts' apparent attempt at unfairly taxing and data-mining them, which may
have violated a number of state and Federal Laws. And complaining
residents may have led to suing residents or D.A. investigations, leading
to more legal entanglements for the, already, most scandal-ridden Mayor
in the history of this city.
So what happened? The Butts administration started
BLAMING RESIDENTS for the complaints, pushing the story
that residents "misunderstood" the program requirements,
that "ALL" residential property owners with no rental units
were really never expected to register their property, but
residents just "misunderstood." It was all just a big, well-
documented, legally noticed misunderstanding, with at
least one radio commercial.
But as with most of James Butts' lies, and he tells an
awful lot of them, this one was very well-documented to
be a lie (attachments #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5 are just a
few examples). There was no misunderstanding. And in
fact, the letter that the city of Inglewood sent out on
12-13-21, PROVES that James Butts and his administration
were, indeed, trying to tax and coerce personal information
from Inglewood's residents, for reasons that had NOTHING
to do with anybody renting anything!
The letter from the city (#5), dated 12-13-21 states,
quote, "As of December 9, 2021, the mandatory registration requirement for Single Family Homes and Condominiums (not owned by a company, Corporation, or Real Estate Investment Trust) has been CANCELLED." Yes, the letter misspelled "canceled," but it confirms that the city had intended on imposing those requirements on homeowners who were living in and not renting their homes.
But just like Donald Trump, James Butts does not like to admit a mistake or acknowledge a loss. So, as is typical with James Butts and his administration, the city admitted that there was a requirement in the first place, by saying that the requirement was now canceled, but the letter still tried to hide the crime they were trying to commit, saying that "There has been a misunderstanding by some Single Family property owners." But what exactly was city claiming the misunderstanding was? Residents who were not renting their homes were absolutely right; there was a requirement for them to register their property, and they felt they shouldn't have to register their properties, so they complained. Residents "understood" exactly what was happening.
So the requirement that "ALL" residential property owners needed to register their properties was well-documented, for months and months, and now the City says it has been "canceled." And it must be added that it is apparently being cancelled, without any litigation and no re-writing or reworking of the ordinance itself. It seems that if the city thought it needed certain information, and wrote that into the ordinance, and then cancelled requirements notated in the ordinance, the ordinance would have to be amended. This was not something discussed by the city. And if these requirements were in the ordinance, because the city sincerely thought the information was needed to properly manage the "Housing Protection Department" (HPD), why was there no mention of how the city would try to maintain the level of information that the city initially thought to be needed to carry out the mission of the HPD. Nope, the requirement was just "CANCELLED," giving the clear impression that Butts and his minions agreed that non-renting homeowners being required to register was not only just not necessary, but was not even required by the ordinance. Who knows if James Butts will ever have the ordinance amended to reflect this "cancellation, but for now, the city's action only gives the impression that Butts and his minions just realized they were caught; they tried, but you can't win em all.
So the question is, what was James Butts trying to pull? Why did James Butts want all this, now publicly exposed as unnecessary, information? Why did he want this personal and real estate information from Inglewood's residents, which had nothing to do with rental property? Did Butts want the city to sell this information to his developer friends, give it to some new developers or just allow the developers to be able to get the information themselves because once the city had it, the info would be public information? Did James Butts want to use this information as some sort of leverage against residents? Or is this just another manifestation of James Butts' fascist nature, that he just wanted to know as much about "ALL" residents as possible? Again, the question is, if getting this information from non-renting homeowners wasn't necessary to control rents, evictions, etc., through the Inglewood Housing Protection program, why, why, was James Butts so desperate to get "ALL" that personal information from Inglewood's residents?
