The L.A. Times, O.C. edition, is reporting that the Republican Party of Orange County has asked four Trustees at the Capistrano Unified School District to resign. “The request, aimed at longtime trustees Marlene M. Draper, Sheila J. Benecke, Duane E. Stiff and Mike Darnold, comes after a report unsealed by the Orange County district attorney’s office last week indicated that the four, plus three former trustees, had routinely violated the state’s open-meeting law.”
Well, I applaud this move…but when will the OC GOP ask Santa Ana Unified School District Trustees Rob Richardson and Rosie Avila, who are Republicans, to resign? Together, they have presided over more than $6 million in losses this year due to district corruption, fraud and ineptitude.
Nothing would do more to advance the OC GOP in Santa Ana than to call for the immediate resignation of Richardson and Avila. Don’t bet on that happening though…not with their ally Tim Whitacre still ensconced on the OC GOP Central Committee.
So most likely Rosie and Robbie will keep making their party look bad in Santa Ana. You have to wonder why Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido, a Democrat, continues to support both Rosie AND Robbie!
Wow, this Rosie Avila seems like a real piece of work. What’s wrong with her face?
I just read up a little on her. She went to Biola U. She’s probably a big bible thumper. I’m very skeptical of those types, especially when they hop on the morality train. Unfortunately, many right wing conservatives have a lock on local school boards.
Why do you think Pulido supports this?
the question should be when will art pedroza resing
Dear Adriana,
It’s called a stroke. I hope someone asks your grandparents or you that question some day after you have had one. Art, what’s with the 69th A.D. GOP central Comm.?? I understand 4 members have quit the party in the last two years from that district and there are only 6 members. You, Abie, Lupe, and Ryan Gene. I thought Central Comm. members were the real gung ho hard core Party members?? What’s going on over there. Please explain!!!
Thanks Art for the complete answer to my question. I appreciate what you do here. I don’t think you have to prove a stroke. Anyone who has had one or has had a family member suffer one would know that Rosie has had one. They go from mild to severe but the droopy mouth and eyes is an obvious sign. I guess we could ask her to release her medical files if we think it is impacting her job performance. Maybe that’s a good idea.
Rosie Avila has NOT had a stroke. Stop shilling for her.
#3, I quit last month because I’m moving at the end of the year.

Anonymous, asking about Rosie’s face is fair game, she’s a public official. And yes, I know what a stroke is. Strokes can also strike younger people. Or maybe she has Bells Palsy. I asked a legit question.
I’d like to see “Adriana’s” beautiful mug and have her release her medical records to Orange Juice!
“I’d like to see ‘Adriana’s’ beautiful mug and have her release her medical records to Orange Juice!”
I’d like to see a psychological evaluation of Rosie Avila done and have those results posted in the voters pamphlet.
I’m not a public official, so no need to have my “beautiful mug” on the Orange Juice. If you search enough, I’m sure that you can find my picture on the internet, and rest assured, I don’t look like Rosie. As of my last physical, I had a clean bill of health, but again, why do you care? I’m not serving the public.
We have a right to know about the health conditions of elected officials. Lord knows, we get the details every time the president chokes on a pretzel, barfs at a state dinner, or even when Arnold falls off his bike.
The bigger issue is why isn’t this woman held accountable for her crazy statements, and who is backing her? We don’t need any more religion in schools. SAUSD needs to focus on teaching the basics and making sure that they have enough money to hire qualified teachers.
Dear Dr. Anon 11:45AM and Adriana,
Most people don’t put out a press release when they suffer a stroke (in the case of Rosie it happened before she was elected to office) and most people with a decent upbringing would never bring it up in a public setting, blog or not. It’s interesting Mr. Tinajero’s obesity never caused you any concern while he was on the council? Seems you both have selective concern when it somes to boardmembers health. While they were banning Coca Cola and chips from the vending machines, the school board seems to have been doing a little snackin during the midnight meetings!
Adriana said: “We don’t need any more religion in schools”
We have none and I know that suits some of you just fine. That is why anyone living in Santa Ana who cares about their kids eduacation and moral upbringing have them in private schools or are home schooling. There are a few poor souls trying to make some kind of political statement with their kids future but by Junior high most of them also realize they have made a huge mistake and move on. (A few make due with the high school of the Arts, but not all kids are cut out for the arts)Seems like Adriana’s conflict is perhaps with God, not with Rosie.
Dear Poster #13,
Rosie condition was called into question because obviously she has suffered some sort of mental problem as a result. That Rosie is one crazy loon.
I don’t have a conflict with God. I just don’t see the need to flaunt him or her around in the public schools. Let’s face it, as long as there will be tests in public schools, there will be prayer. How is teaching “morality” or “Christianity” going to help kids score high on the SAT exams and learn to become more critical thinkers? Besides, people have different faiths, and I don’t see how you can please all sides with this. If a family wants to stress religious values, why can’t they do it on their own time and with their own dime?
If I lived in Santa Ana, I wouldn’t vote for Rosie precisely for this very reason.
Adriana, You just made another great argument for vouchers. Let each
person take their own
I like your blog, Adriana.
Maybe Art will post a link to it. You have some interesting latino issues.
