he is simply a shill for his pals. he does their polling and tells them they are ahead…you get what you pay for with adam and dez. i dont know who would trust him though. he and his brother do anything they can to get on board and on a payroll. they will take any job and run for anything available. we know these guys as sidhus and dumitrus.

Paulie.
While I have issues with Adam Probolsky’s handling of this poll we have a Juice policy whereby we do not permit personal attacks. You are surely welcome to add valid comments compliments and challenges to any of our stories

You never answered the question, larry.
Why are you so in favor of SVUSD taking 83% of MV student funds for other cities?
You can write articles, but can’t answer questions?

maybe adam should do a survey on how not to eat so much. Does that guy even have a neck. His face fills that whole square. Why would he even drive a car. How would he even fit in one. He must drive a Hummer or a Mac Truck. People like that don’t make it to 50. I feel bad for the guy. Maybe he should survey all the NFL stars about Nutrisystem to see if it really worked. That might poll in “his favor”

Good article. Probolsky may have “provided cover,” but the survey contract was payback from Frank Ury to his out-of-town financiers. This isn’t the biggest check, but it is the most direct — from the city coffers to a Ury handler.

Ury’s axe to grind against SVUSD goes way back. Right after he was dumped off the school board, SVUSD got sued. The lawsuit didn’t have Ury’s name on it, but his fingerprints were all over it.

Did everyone hear the city attorney’s explanation of why Probolsky was selected? Bill Curley said the city should spread the jobs around. Let’s use that rationale to spread the job of city attorney around to another firm.

Thanks for the info. I was not aware that Adam served on Irvine’s Planning Commission

The only good work Adam does is at food table. That’s the problem with politics these days there are too many “gun for hire” types who have scant regard for the ordinary people and upholding the constitution of this great nation. We all have payments to make but we don’t sell our souls.

Adam is a well known quantity here in Irvine. He does good work, but he is regarded as “gun for hire.” Nothing wrong with that; he’s got some nifty car payments to make. But sometimes he gets a little too focused on his car payments and forgets which side he is supposed to be on.

That’s what cost him his seat on the Planning Commission.

Adam is just a tool trying to make money through inappropriate means. Even thieves need a legit cover operation just to make sure they don’t get caught easily. Trust me this guy will end up in jail in future.

Can you really trust a guy who is willing to sop up Mike Duvall’s sloppy seconds? It’s hard to take his polling seriously anymore and your example is a prime example.

“Move public opinion” and “provide cover for decision makers.”

Hey, what a guy, huh?
