		<description>As an employee of Orange County, I sign an oath to avoid the appearance of improprieties each year.  It is disturbing to see a PUBLIC SERVANT (which is what being Mayor is) being served by the public. The public is paying this servant $600 dollars for reasonable vehicle use, but he does not use it; instead he sucks up to corporations and takes on an appearance of using and being used by corporations.  Just who is Mayor Pulido supposed to serve?  Time for a new Mayor.</description>

		<description>Art,

If Pulido did something illegal, then talk to a prosecutor and have legal action brought against him. Go ahead. We&#039;ll be waiting to read all about how you did that.</description>

		<description>I should add that the entire BMW cost ($60,000+) is paid for by the taxpayers because the car dealer deducts it as an expense.</description>

		<description>What Land is this Recorded in the County of Orange, and who has a interest in it?

Also excepting therefrom, all remaining minerals, oil, gas, petroleum, other hydrocarbon substances and geothermal heat in or under or which may be produced from said land and  the perpetual right of exploring and prospecting for, and developing, producing, extracting, and taking said minerals, oil, gas, petroleum, other hydrocarbon substances and geothermal heat from said land by means of mines, shafts, tunnels, wells, derricks or other equipment from surface locations on adjoining or neighboring land or lying outside of the said land. It goes on and on to: 

All water rights or interests in the water rights that may be within, under or on the property, whether such water rights are riparian, overlying, appropriative, percolating, prescriptive or contractual, provided, however, that the reservation made herein shall not reserve to or for the benefit of grantor any right to enter upon the surface of the property in the exercise of such rights, together with the right and power to use or utilize on any other property owned or leased by grantor any and all water rights or interests in water rights no matter how acquired by grantor.

Tell him not to gloat too much, that to me is a conflict of interest, and his co-chair. Does he know what profiteering is? It is the act of making a profit from others misery.</description>

		<description>&quot;Why is Pulido taking our tax money, to the tune of $600 a month, when he is NOT spending any money on his vehicle?&quot;

Mr. Pedroza, that is how the accounting works. You and others do same on their income taxes every year. 

On your return, you can elect to take car expense as standard or itemized deduction [which ever is higher] regardless whether or not you have actually spent the money if you elect standard one.

I always take standard deduction which brings me more than $600 per year of &quot;taxpayer&#039;s money&quot; because the government estimated millage expense is much higher than my actual expense. 

It is all legal and moral so relax!</description>

		<description>Art, I take back my previous comment if it implied that he didnt have to spend that money on what it was intended for. You are right, double-dipping is wrong. He should pay back any amount of that car allowance that isn&#039;t spent on the car for fuel, oil, or maintenance.</description>

		<description>Ron,

No.  Pulido is wrong.  Hydrogen comes from cracking natural gas.  Electricity comes mostly from coal fired power plants. 

Natural gas can be generated by trash and sewage.  It is MUCH cleaner than burning coal.

So no, Pulido is very wrong indeed.</description>

		<description>#9,

Who wouldn&#039;t?  But that is NOT the issue.  Why is Pulido taking our tax money, to the tune of $600 a month, when he is NOT spending any money on his vehicle?  That is called DOUBLE-DIPPING.  It is usually ILLEGAL.  Get it?</description>

		<description>Pulido is right.  I drive a Mazda 3 that my wife gets a good deal on cause she works for Mazda.  Hope that doesn&#039;t poison my ability to state the obvious about how markets work.</description>
