[[Norwalk, Los Angeles County, California|Norwalk]] city councilman running for re-election in [[March 2011 Election, Norwalk, Los Angeles County, California|March 2011]].

Apparently there was a Mexican Independence Day 9/11 issue in 2010, but the media coverage was limited and all I can get is Google caches of the articles. I should like to find more details on that.<ref>[http://www.ci.norwalk.ca.us/pdf/10SummerRecreationBrochure.pdf 2010 Summer Recreation Brochure], Norwalk City Council</ref> It does seem odd to schedule a celebration of Mexican Independence on a day which would normally focus on American patriotism. I can't imagine the city was unaware that this might be found offensive. What kinds of scheduling issues were there? Is this a regular thing? What were some thoughts from the council?

In December 2010, a [[Steve Lowe]] slated to run against Jesse in [[March 2011 Election, Norwalk, Los Angeles County, California|the upcoming election]], appeared before the council appealing a citation for litter in his yard. Jesse M. Luera was present and voted, along with the others present, to deny the petition. He is cited as having stated: "we can't make exceptions. Can you clean up this stuff? We spend lots of money on property maintenance. We can’t have 150,000 people doing whatever they want to."<ref>Arnold Adler, [http://www.wavenewspapers.com/news/local/Norwalk-council-candidate-protests-property-citations-112677624.html "Norwalk council candidate protests property citations"], Los Angeles Wave, Dec 30, 2010</ref>
