# Is Ysabel Jurado Losing It?

EASTSIDER NEWSFLASH! - Councilmember Ysabel Jurado (CD14) walks on to the Stage of Concerts in the Park and engages in a rant, even though there was a band that had already started playing, when she did it.
**The Details**
Here in Northeast LA, there is an annual free summer concert series called Eagle Rock Free Concerts, or simply Concerts in the Park, held at the Eagle Rock Recreation Center.
The latest one was held yesterday, and included a surprise visit by Ysabel Jurado (CD14)
As the Bruno Mars Tribute Band was onstage playing, she simply marched up on to the stage, grabbed a mike and started to talk as the band was in the middle of a song.
According to those in attendance, the Councilmember (CD14) received a well-deserved BOOing by everyone who came to listen to good music, chill out in the wonderful Park, and escape the reality of living in Los Angeles.
**Is there a Pattern?**
This isn’t the first time she has exhibited unusual behavior. She also showed up at a recent Good Troubles rally at the monument at York & Figueroa. Ignored staff and just started talking about what she thought.
I still don’t know how much of a staff she has, but she seems to ignore them. This goes back to when she won the race for CD14. She attended a number of Council meetings by herself, no staff, and it wasn’t pretty.
Ultimately, of course, she did hire a staff, but it took a while for her to hire people who knew how the LA City Council actually works and were available.
All I can say is that I’m starting to wonder if I made a big-time mistake in endorsing her during the campaign.
**Stay tuned.**
