I think that it IS relevant what our Council Members do in their lives. Sal does a lot of good. Compare that to the useless sack of crap that is Carlos Bustamante.

It is sad though that neither Sal nor Michele Martinez are allowed to vote as they would like to. They have to go along with Pulido. I would not, but then I am more of a maverick than they are. And I probably cannot get elected in this town.

I do agree that the council meetings are a joke. Who has time for such puñetas?

What does his ability as a teacher/coach have to do with his (in)effectiveness on the SAUSD & Council?

Absolutely nothing!
That’s the point.

I quit going to council meetings long ago due to all the hot air & smoke being blown around. It’s a pathetic carnival side show, and if any educated person can’t see that then they should go out and join the GOP.

Lamo response.

Does “leaving” include continuing to obsessively read and froth over what goes on at the OJ every single day?

If so, then yes, he did “leave” for good

I am no fan of Claudia – she is nuts and unethical.

Sal backed me last year over Bustamante. I appreciate that he stuck his neck out for me.

Of course I don’t expect Sal to stand up to Pulido – neither does Michele Martinez!

And it should be noted that Sal is a great teacher and debate coach.

talk to the unions and they will tell you, I can’t believe people would say he sold out the working class.

you don’t know Sal’s positions, unions love him because he has stood for workers rights

at the school dist he voted for part-time employee health benifits, domestic partner benefits and now he votes on NOT contracting out

get it right

Again look who is lurking in the shadows and casting aspersions, not me. The next time you see me in public introduce yourself and I will gladly tell you that your actions are those of a coward as are those that attack Councilman Tinajero behind a cloak of secrecy, as are those of the local bozo’s behind “pedrozabot”.

I am quite sure that you are the one that lacks the stones as your continual blogging in the shadows demonstrates.

You have never put your name to a single comment you have made on this blog and that tells me all I need to know.

My question is why is Art all of a sudden on this bandwagon. I suspect there is some ulterior motive lurking in the shadows waiting to pop out at any moment.

If you really think that what you write/comment on this blog is ANYTHING like what you’d say to the people you attack here publicly…well let’s just say we ain’t buyin’ that.

And so it is YOU that has redefined “cowardly”.

Not too surprised to see a comment like that from somebody who has never put a name to a single comment, and there have been many, that you have posted on this blog.

To hide in the shadows and attack folks is quite cowardly. Art and I sign our names to everything we post here.

So the answer to your question “Junior”…errr…”anonymous” is yes you should buy that. Unlike you I am not posting under several different names and anonymously.
