The OC Register and the Times, O.C. edition, are both reporting today that racist Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD) Trustee Harald Martin might resign if doing so will save the AUHSD the cost of running a special election, which according to the Register might be as much as $550,000.
According to the Register, “His resignation would enable the board to appoint another trustee within 60 days or proceed with a special election anyway.”
However, the Times has reported that “he said that even if he did resign, he would run for the board again in 2008.” Not good.
Chris Prevatt, over at the Liberal OC, is wondering if “the board has convinced him (Martin) that they won
No Art, the voters spoke by electing Denise Reinking.I think it right that Harald Martin step down to save the district the cost of an election, but if the district chooses to go ahead with said election even after he steps down, he has the same right to run as does Jordan Brandman or Rob Stewart. It’s unfortunate but Amin David has publicly stated that only a Latino should be put into this position as trustee. Do we hear you calling that statemnt racist? Whatever happened to “a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”
I agree with Mr. Amin that we need someone who reflects the community. The best choice, all other factors being equal, would be to appoint a strong Latino/Latina board member. That’s my opinion.
Point of information, Poster #1. Would you please add the link to where Amin David said specifically that only a Latino should be appointed to the board? I don’t remember reading that but if he is quoted in the papers anywhere, I would be interested in reading that. Thank you.
They should ask Rob Steward about those e-mails trying to arrange a 17 year old mail order bride from Ukraine.
Poster 1,
Amin never said that. Nativo asked whether we should look for a Latino candidate, who would reflect the voters in the district.
However, I do believe that we ought to go with Brandman. He is a great guy with lots of political experience, which he garnered in Sacramento.
And Brandman has friends on the left and the right. He will be a great Trustee.
Dear Anon 1:43pm,
You said, “They should ask Rob Steward about those e-mails trying to arrange a 17 year old mail order bride from Ukraine.”
Just what do you mean by making such an insane comment regarding Mr. Steward. Either put up or shut up! What are you basing that comment on?
As much as I think Jubal’s deletion policy is too strict, the 1:43 post is a good example of how the policy here is much too lenient.
Poster 7,
If I told you last week that a conservative Republican U.S. Senator from Idaho would be arrested for harrasing an undercover officer in a restroom, would you have believed it?
And yet it happened.
I don’t know if the crazy post about Stewart and his alleged emails is true – but how do we know that it isn’t? By posting it, perhaps someone with actual evidence might step up.
That is what I considered when I approved the post.
BTW, I spoke to Stewart once; let me assure you that the guy is a crackpot. He is no better than Martin. The phrase “birds of a feather” comes to mind.
“I heard Art Pedroza was seen soliciting another man in an adult bookstore last week.”
By posting that Mr. Anon are you saying that someone should step up with proof? I think that is a crual and untrue statement you have made and while Art may leave it up, if I was in charge of the blog I would delete it.
Poster 9,
I hope my wife isn’t reading this!
Go ahead and post your dumb remarks. I heard tonight that a friend of mine has proof re the Stewart emails. It will be put up tomorrow. So there.
Poster 10,
Thanks for the defense! I allowed the post so you could all see what we are up against. Stewart’s defenders will say anything to stop us from scuttling his attempt to get back on the AUHSD board.
The truth is that Stewart failed miserably as a Trustee. He was part of the bunch that blew millions of bond dollars via mismanagement. The fact that he is yet another Mexican hater is just the cherry on top.
If this story about the Ukrainian mail order wives is true, and I have a source who says it is, then Stewart is done. I am told a link will be put up tomorrow to a site that will substantiate the allegation about Stewart.
Hey Rob – maybe you and Harald can go walk precincts for Harry and Mimi if you have nothing else to do? They hate immigrants too.
“They should ask Rob Steward about those e-mails trying to arrange a 17 year old mail order bride from Ukraine.”
In Ukraine the legal age is 15.
So what?
I think two or three states in USA have legal age for marriage as low as 12 years. See Marriage ruling
no matter who they choose wont make art happy . p .s art= not ANTI IMMIGRANT . ANTI ILLEGAL . and if amin did say that .then this site should maybe post it for some REAL truth and ballance .
I am suprised Mr. Stewart is taking time from his singing career to be a trustee.
He is a very talented, but getting older. Perhaps this is his way to say, “If you want my trustee, and you think I’m sexy…”
