Shawn Nelson tries to have his “liberal” cake and eat it too.

June 17, 2010 0

Back on June 4th I wrote about how Shawn Nelson had surprisingly shifted his anticipated support for the proposed Coyote Hills development in Fullerton. For those who needed more proof of his duplicity I read yesterday in the Voice Of OC that Nelson, during his final meeting as a Fullerton councilman, asked his colleagues to hold a special meeting so that he could reconsider the matter.

Closing Arguments in the Prop 8 Federal Trial delivered today

Our nation’s Founders established the courts to protect every American’s constitutional rights against discriminatory laws. This case is not about special rights for Kris, Sandy, Paul and Jeff. Rather, it’s about ensuring they simply have the same rights as every American.”

John Moorlach – The very definition of HUBRIS

June 16, 2010 4

At yesterday’s Orange County budget hearings 2nd District Supervisor John Moorlach just couldn’t seem to get away from his blaming of public employee pensions, particularly the 3% at 50 pension benefit for public safety members, for the budget woes of the county.

These abuses are a serious violation of fundamental human rights and must be stopped.”
