Sean Mill said something to me, yesterday, while we were on the phone that bears further scrutiny. He said that “the Democrats” wanted Thomas Gordon removed from the EPIC/Gang Commission. Mill then said that Councilman Sal Tinajero removed Gordon because “the Democrats” wanted him to.
Really? I thought Tinajero was elected to serve ALL of his constituents! Apparently he only serves his Democratic constituents.
The fact is, Gordon has the support of many Democrats in Santa Ana. Secondly, our Council Members serve in a non-partisan capacity, or at least they are supposed to. Lastly, wasn’t Tinajero once a Republican? So was Mill!
So who does Tinajero really serve? As far as I can tell, he serves only himself. Aside from Mill, I don’t know anyone who supports Tinajero at this point. He has lost whatever supporters he had by removing Gordon, not voting to televise all our City Council meetings, and by putting the fraudulent Measure D on the ballot.
Sal serves himself at least four times at all you can eat lunch buffet’s.
The “Democrats” should stop worrying about a community person like Gordon and focus on the ONLY sitting Republican on the Council Carlos Bustamonte who is up for re-election!! Memo to Wylie/Frank…Bustamonte is the great brown GOP hope…take him out now while you can.
I live on Aires Court, next to the new planned homes that were recently approved.I am very concerned about the way this came about.I’ve decided to come forward to tell my side of the story,because I think its the right thing to do. About a month ago, Mr.Tinajero and the developer Mr.Manning knocked on our door. They asked us to sign a letter of support for the project.they stated that the value of the new homes would increase the value of ours.I agreed but now have second thoughts.What should I do.
Pardon me, I’m an outsider. After moving to OC and finding yr blog, I was under the impression that your featured posters were mainly far to extremely far right-wing Repubs and Decline to states(all but Claudio) endorsing a lock step top down Central Committee structure. I especially enjoyed Pedroza’s account of eating a burger in front of hunger strikers for peace. Real great OC stuff, you can’t make that up.
As Flip Wilson used to say
“…The devil made me do it!”
I think it applies to Sal as well.
Or as the chruch lady used to say, “Did Satan make you do that?”
Well Sal, debate that!
Poster 4,
Even worse! It was a chicken sandwich, and the protesters brought a live chicken to the protest.
Claudio and I ended up befriending the protesters and I contributed to their lunch fund, as their strike ended that day and they were starving.
We were upset because they were protesting against Loretta instead of picking on a Reep.
