As a follow up to Art’s post I contacted the registration office and share the following program and participant information regarding Assembly Member Solorio’s Town Hall Meeting this Friday August 31st.
As of now Assembly Members Todd Spitzer and Chuck DeVore have indicated that that they will try to attend this Town Hall. In addition Board Chairman Chris Norby and Supervisor Janet Nguyen along with Santa Ana Council Members Alvarez and Martinez.
The program will be divided into three panels covering:
Prevention, intervention and re-entry.
Panelists include:
Kathy Bihr, Exec. Dir., Tiger Woods Learning Center
Ryan Burris, OCSD
Ferino Garcia, Exec. Officer, Garcia Foundation
Elsa Greenfield, Prog. Dir., Community Services Programs
Sister Eilene McNerney, Exec. Dir. Taller-San Jose Workshop
———–Izabel Malone, Proj. Dir., La Familia (will not participate)
Daniel Oaxaca, Youth Build
Colleen Preciado, Chief, OC Probation Dept.
Ava Steaffens, Kid Works
I removed my own comment due to a typo. Izabel Malone, Proj Dir La Familia, will not participate in this Town Hall.
IT APPEARS JOSE SOLORIO’S FORUM WILL BE ANOTHER ATTEMPT BY LIBERAL DEMOCRATS TO JUSTIFY SPENDING MILLIONS FOR ‘DIVERSIONAL’ OR RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR GANGS, INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING TOUGHER PENALITIES FOR GANG ACTIVITIES. JUST LOOK WHO WILL BE ON THE PANEL!

Rather than jumping to conclusions why don’t you join me tomorrow and be an observer and/or participant during the Q & A if time permits.
As I read crime statistics from AG Jerry Brown’s website, there were 77 homicides in OC in 2005 of which 17 were in Santa Ana.
Crimes in our state is a real issue that needs to be addressed.
