Times:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p><em>In an interview Tuesday, Huerta told The Times: \u201cAll of us on the front lines are used to having people say negative things about us. The growers used to call me all kinds of names. I think it just reflects badly on them when they have positions like the chief of staff of the mayor. It would seem they would have better ethics.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Huerta said she never takes such comments personally but wondered why Guerrero and others had time for gossip, adding: \u201cThey are just staffers, and they are not out there doing the work that needs to be done for the community.\u201d\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Huerta said Garcetti called her Tuesday, but she was in a meeting. He left a voicemail \u201capologizing and saying how much he loves and respects me,\u201d Huerta told The Times.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cecilia Cabello, a former aide to Garcetti, was also identified as a member of the Facebook group and stepped down from the City Council Redistricting Commission this week.
