Shawn Nelson a LIBERAL!? Talk about your Demon Sheep!
A slate mailer was dropped on Democratic households in Orange County on Friday from what sounds like a legitimate “LIBERAL” group, the John F. Kenedy Alliance. Of course, it is far from a liberal organization. In fact it is nothing more than a slate mail organization; that candidates use to reach democratic voters in an election in a cost effective way.
Legendary UCLA Basketball Coach John Wooden Dies
The greatest basketball coach in history is gone. UCLA’s John Wooden has died at 99. I had the pleasure of introducing Coach Wooden at a […]
Harrah Seeks to Usurp Voters Will
I received the e-mail early this morning and felt this needed to be brought to the attention of people at once. So here we go, this is an e-mail from Vince Fregoso in the Santa Ana Planning Department. Apparently Mike Harrah is seeking “amdendments” to the Developer Agreement that was approved by the voters of Santa Ana in April of 2005.

So much for that copy of the pocket Constitution. Perhaps an expanded edition dealing with First Amendment law will fit on Chuck’s iPad.

Former City Manager Asks: You want this job?!
Teri Sforza over at the OC Register has an interesting follow up to the OC Watchdog Report on City manager compensation. While I am not particularly happy with the way some government administrators handle things, I can sympathize wtih these managers on the frustration such jobs bring. That is probably why these folks get paid as well as they do.
Sheriff Sandra Hutchens
Yesterday I was given the opportunity to interview Sheriff Sandra Hutchens. So, I was given an hour with our Sheriff. We covered several topics. The hot button item of Concealed Weapons Permits (CCW) was one. I guess it’s inevitable, given the drama around her decision to review who had been given them.
