PAULA IN ACTION AT A RECENT GLASSELL PARK NC MEETING
(Sounds like she has become what she once fought against. See below)


CLICK HERE FOR INVESTIGATIVE STORY ON PAULA AND HER CAHOOTSVILLE SHANNANIGANS IN GLASSELL PARK NC -- IT'S ONE BIG F-ING RACKET!

Paula Bagaso, PhD, also known sometimes as Paula Y. Bagaso used to work for Bill Clinton, during the good old days as his Head of Information Techonology. I'm sure that comes in handy at her "Global-Knowledge" guerilla-research firm. [Like Fed-EX, when you absolutley, positively have to have your opposition research, overnight.]

Paula Bagaso said…There are other creative Web-based approaches to time. Paula Bagasao, 51, president and CEO of Global Knowledge Services, uses the Web to make more time. Her company, based in Los Angeles, offers "rapid-research services" for information-hungry companies.

"Clients often come to me needing information immediately," she explains. "The only way to do that is to work all night long."

But instead of hiring people who are willing to work through the night, Bagasao has managed to build a network of researchers on the East Coast, on the West Coast, and in the Philippines. Her firm's project schedules follow the sun, so her clients receive the information that they request faster than they would otherwise. "The Internet lets you work with really good people while crossing boundaries of time and geography," she says. "I could not have done that 10 years ago."

[WOW PAULA! YOU ARE SO RIGHT! LOOKS LIKE WERE BIRDS OF A FEATHER! LOOK WHAT I FOUND OUT THIS PAST HOUR. YOU ARE TRULY AN INSPIRATION!]

She's given a lot of money to Senators and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and fought to have the GPNC ballot printed in Tagalong/Philpino. [See Below]

Paula Bagasao sits on Glassell Park NC, is part of PROH-LA, and is co-founder and president of Global Knowledge Services, Inc., a small business firm providing research and strategy services to private and public sector organizations. Previously, she served as Director for Information Technology Research at the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute in 1999 and before that, in the Clinton Administration, first in the White House and then at US Agency for International Development Dr. Bagasao has an extensive background in education, research, science and technology.

GKS, Inc was founded in 1998 by Paula Y. Bagasao and Brad J. Bagasao, who serve as the senior research principals for the Company. Trained long and hard as able and credible social, political, economic and human services researchers -- both of us know how important good research is...(end of free story access)- Paula Y. Bagasao

Even though it's called PROH-LA (as in "Pro Hills LA") Bagasao is a nationally known fighter against oak trees in San Fransico, too! Even NEW YORK TIMES picked up on her compassionate activism for property owner "rights".

New Laws Crack Down on Urban Paul Bunyans

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29 2006
The tree wars seem likely to escalate along with stricter tree laws. In Los Angeles, for instance, the City Council is about to consider an amendment to the city's oak tree ordinance, which protects native oaks at least eight inches in diameter. The expanded ordinance would include three other species - black walnuts, California sycamores and bay laurels - and protect more trees by reducing the diameter of a landmark tree to four inches.

Most notably, violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and, in extreme cases, have their building permit withheld for up to 10 years. The ordinance, moreover, would require developers to get a permit to knock down protected trees and replace them with new trees at a ratio of at least 2 to 1.

Paula Bagasao, co-founder of Proh-LA, a group dedicated to protecting property rights on hillsides, especially vacant lots, called the ordinance "a backyard building moratorium" that would delay projects and add unnecessary costs. She finds the inclusion of black walnut trees particularly irksome.

"These nuts fall all over East L.A., sending up all this black stuff and giving birth to little walnut trees," she said. "The nuts fall on peoples' heads at parties. The walnut tree is not an endangered species." - Paula Bagasa

Paula was not happy when her GPNC grievence was denied...LOOK WHAT IT IS ABOUT!

15. PENDING STAKEHOLDER GRIEVANCE
a) MOTION by the Executive Board that the grievance be referred for the General Board’s consideration of the creation and assignment of a three member grievance panel to review the grievance of Paula Bagasao, PhD. – In summary the grievant believes that the LUPC is biased against land development, not a representative body and the grievant’s plans to build on her property in the neighborhood may be
adversely effected by the make-up of the LUPC and advice it may make in her request for variances from the Zoning Administrator.

PAULA BAGASAO Challenged GPNC for the same thing others complain to her about. LOL!

Challenge of Proposed GPNC 2006 Election Procedures
Date:
Wednesday, August 23, 2006

This is not meaningful outreach to the community served Election Committee members may include candidates for office in the upcoming election, thereby furthering the knowledge and ability of insiders at the expense of transparency and openness for the community as a whole. The committee members, for example, are to prepare and distribute the election announcements and candidate information, oversight of eligibility & verification procedures, and oversee notification and outreach.

Regarding language communications. I am also seeking that the election flyer, Vote-by- Mail documents, and the ballots also be developed, distributed, and be made available in Tagalog. While the many Filipinos and Filipino Americans who are stakeholders in the GPNC area do speak English or some English, it is well established that the most effective way to communicate with this population is in English and Tagalog. At the present time, only English and Spanish are proposed.
I believe that these defects, combined with a flawed application by the Neighborhood
Council (No Attachment D dealing with how Vote-by-Mail will be handled), would support a DONE decision to NOT approve the pending Election Procedures, and to schedule the election some time after January 2007.

Whenever this election is to take place and how, I am further requesting a denial of the GPNC proposal to name Jerry Kvasnicka as the election administrator. We are providing evidence of his lack of qualifications for this role. A Done recommendation is sought for an appropriate elections administrator.

This would allow for a meaningful community outreach to be conducted either within or
without the Neighborhood Council, and for a completed and approved set of Election
Procedures to be developed well in advance of an election.

I am also attaching the packet sent by DONE concerning the last (2004) election obtained as a result of a Public Records Act Request. A fair reading of the documents would be that the election was contentious, that Jerry Kvasnicka was a central figure is allegations of lack of neutrality and bias, that less than 200 people (187) participated in a sizeable Neighborhood Council election, and the Final Arbiter Report submitted by the Human Relations Commission to DONE clearly indicates that outreach was a serious and pervasive issue which the Human Relations Commission ducked, putting it back on DONE. It should also be pointed out the Human Relations Commission conducted no hearing, provided no due process, nor contacted any of the affected parties prior to writing their report.

Thank you for your consideration of my concerns about the pending GPNC elections as
proposed for 2006. Again, my objective is to achieve a fair, inclusive, transparent, and democratic process by which a new governance board for GPNC is determined.
I am available to discuss my concerns, as appropriate.

Sincerely,
Paula Y. Bagasao, PhD
