Seems like the Irwindale City Council ran up against an honest businessman that wouldn't play their game.

Is it because the owner was thinking about moving the business to Texas ?

I’ll bet he did play their game in the form of payoffs to crooked officials. IMHO

Yes, there was talk about it but he was smart in that he didn’t commit himself.

Undoubtedly Gov. Perry’s showing up and welcoming them to Texas was a political nightmare the Democrats didn’t want.

I have the belief that’s how this all started, he wouldn’t pay and I’m familiar with Irwindale from before it incorporated. I believe the council caved from all the publicity over this.

two-thirds of the complaints they received came from just four households.
The first complaints came from City Councilman Hector Ortiz's son.

Well, THAT is how business is conducted in third world banana republics. A little juice here, a little sweetener there. Pretty soon everything is settled. All the bumps are smoothed out. No Problemo.

"We're almost sorry that this has gone on so long," Breceda said. Wow, you know what THAT means?
It means they intend to GET him some other way --say, facility safety.
There are a million ways. Apparently this does NOT end here.

It’s possible this might have become a wedge issue among Asians, thereby alienating some from the Democratic party. From an identity politics perspective, this had the stink of Hispanics whaling upon Asians. Coupled with black and Hispanic backing for anti-Asian racial quotas at CA’s colleges, this could have split the CA Democratic coalition wide open. Perhaps CA’s Democratic high panjandrums prevailed upon Irwindale’s pols to back off, on pain of endorsements and financial backing for their primary opponents.
