Dear Fullerton,
So . . . I’m just gonna throw this one out there and see how it sticks.
Bruce Whitaker accepted $1000 from Jeremy Popoff and The Slidebar as part of his campaign for re-election for Fullerton City Council.
His latest 460 filing is available here. (See pages 12 and 13)
For those of you who have been living under a log for the last two years, the Slidebar has been in the news quite a bit– mostly for its part in drawing the Fullerton Six to the transportation center on July 5, 2011.

Anyone have anything to say about this? FFFF?
I do. Give it back.

P.S. He also <3′s Chevron. So does Jennifer Fitzgerald. Still no word on t-shirts or free burgers.
Jeremy Popoff and his attorney in front of a wall at the Slidebar Those who have not visited the Slidebar recently may be surprised at who that establishment celebrates. (Artist’s conception.)
And the FFFF-backed council member’s hypocrisy and back-door deals surprise you why?
Fools with faith are often rewarded thusly, I suppose.
You’re nobody’s fool, Ryan. I still think most elected officials, at least at the local level, run because they want to be of benefit to their communities. Its the ones who have their sights set on higher office and who’ll align themselves with the most convenient “sponsor” along the way we have to be wary of.
Ryan, where do you find those 460′s on a person? I want to look up someone, is there a website or do you have to request them?
MJ– they’re all posted on the city’s website. No request needed.

For this cycle, all are posted except for former councilman Bankhead’s pre-election statement. I’d expect that might be up later this morning, provided it was turned in.
Thanks Ryan
Ryan, what do you think is worse, taking money from Popoff/Slidebar or Pat McKinley?
Given the false dichotomy, I’d pick McKinley. I think taking money from the FPOA is worse than both.
*We will start worrying when Popoff….starts handing out “Free Tacos at each Council Meeting”!
