As I was multitasking between a conference–trade show and the recount of votes in the First District race this morning I stopped at the Registrar’s office in Santa Ana where I saw Registrar Neal Kelley along with Kay Cotton, Candidate and Voter Services Manager. In addition, monitoring this ongoing re-count, were political strategists Jimmy Camp, Mark Leyes, Adam Probolsky, Steve Spernak, Bryan Lanza along with attorney’s Philip Greer and Eric Norby. As I left before 11 AM I do not have any current status on this effort.
Enclosed above is a photo that I took of Registrar Kelley and another as they commenced their review. Right to left are Kay Cotton and Neal Kelley.
Iam told that the Registrar’s office will provide a Press Release before 5 PM today.
As I need to head back to Disney, that’s the extent of this report.
Kay Cotton? Is she the latest example of a staffer to a Board member (Tom Wilson, termed out Jan 1.) being placed in a good paying job in the county without being qualified? Wow, and this office is charged with ethical processes? Good luck.
Is it true that Janet is going to name Art as her COS ?
Congratulations to Art Pedoza! When do you start your new job on the 5th floor Art???
Art would be a great choice for Janet’s Chief of Staff. Janet and Art could really shake up the establishment and rule that 5th Floor running circles aound the other four Sups.
I don’t know what the job pays, but I hope it pays enough for Art to accept the position.
Thank you all for the nice thoughts. However, I am sure that Janet has a lot of great people in mind for her staff. She has been in politics for years and I am confident she will hire well.
I have a great job as a safety director for a $68 million contractor. I also teach part time at Cerritos College on Saturdays, and I do safety training on the weekends as well. I have my hands full!
Congratulations to Janet!!!
Congratulations to Ms. Nguyen.
Now lets hope that Scott Baugh and the GOP work with Janet to keep this seat RED in 2008.
