Comments on: UNPAID BILLS? NO WORRIES: LAURA RICHARDSON’S PERFECT FOR CONGRESS http://thedistrictweekly.com/2008/print/news/building-her-own-rocket-ship/ Long Beach News, Arts, Music & Entertainment for Long Beach Sat, 20 Mar 2010 23:03:40 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: paul http://thedistrictweekly.com/2008/print/news/building-her-own-rocket-ship/comment-page-1/#comment-7671 paul Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:28:08 +0000 http://thedistrictweekly.com/?p=3456#comment-7671 The Black people came out and were able to elect Laura. The Republicans stayed at home. She was there and ready. So much happens in Long Beach with people not paying attention, or things are done in secret. The main electorate of the city is asleep and there are many that like that just fine. People who ignore politics are going to like it a lot less when there are none.

The article reversed Laura's educational credentials. However, had Laura been a top flight sales executive at Xerox, I doubt she would be experiencing her current financial dilemnas. Also, no one has seemed to ask her two very poignant questions: 1) Why did she have to purchase an expensive home in Sacramento when many Assemblymember rent? 2) What happened to the $28,000 Assemblymember housing stipend? Dave – Just a minor correction. The article reversed Laura’s educational credentials.

The fact that Richardson is no longer at Xerox is telling.Xerox was noted for bending over backwards to showcase black females.She had neither the aptitude or intelligence for sales.She was assigned to a customer support position.Her tenure was pedestrian and unremarkable. If one had a question on a product they already purchased-then-she would interface with the customer. Most within Xerox that came in contact with her-could not stand her.
