The money keeps rolling in to the Yes on Measure D campaign. They are now up to $84,000. Today’s late filings included:
- Ware Disposal – $10,000
- Madison Materials – $10,000
- Caribou Industries (Developer Mike Harrah) – $5,000
- Santa Ana Police Officers PAC – $4,000
We already reported that developer Robert Bisno has contributed $40,000 to the Yes on D campaign, and the Santa Ana Firemen’s Union has contributed $5,000 to the Yes on D campaign.
Why did the Santa Ana policemen and firemen get involved? Because they both got big raises from Pulido and the City Council last year! Can you say “Quid pro Quo?” It is just plain unethical that these unions can fund Pulido and his cabal, and then the very same politicians turn around and give the unions big raises. That stinks!
Don’t forget that Santa Ana Council Member Sal Tinajero and Mayor Miguel Pulido are both signers of the Yes on D argument. Let’s revisit that argument and see what it has to say about the powerful special interests that are funding the Yes on D campaign (My comments follow each of the Yes on D lies):
- Santa Ana City Officials and community leaders representing Santa Ana
I’ll out on a limb and predict, against my own hopes, that we are going to see a “Florida-esqe” victory for D. In my short experience here I’ve found that we are living in a dirty little bubble which is 2nd only to Vernon in it’s questionable goings on.
This is gonna be fun–Sean always attacks Measure D supporters by connecting them with Julie stroud and her friends. Betcha he’ll somehow spin that Fat Sal is actually still opposed to Judy Ware because he supports Measure D!
Art. You might inform your readers that Ware Disposal and Madison Materials are the same family. One focus’s on trash hauling the other C&D disposal.
I’ve always read, and believed that although they use front people to run them that the real owners of the Trash hauling companys are the Mafia. Is that not the case?
“I’ve always read, and believed that although they use front people to run them that the real owners of the Trash hauling companys are the Mafia. Is that not the case?”
Hahaha, yea… the Ware Mafia…
Sean Mill has been very quiet. Perhaps he is hoping that the City Council will not reward him for his compliance by tossing him off of the Planning Commission.
Judy Ware & her companies have given a lot of money to politicians, not just in Santa Ana. Ben Ware (Judy’s Husband) & Jay Ware (Judy’s Son) have given $2,600 in total to the party of John McCain as reported here http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com/neighbors.php?type=name&lname=Ware. And that’s just icing on the cake. They’ve given money to the Newport Beach city council members too in addition to numerous others. Always giving the maximum monetary contribution permitted by law. But then again, they can contribute as individuals and again as a corporation letting them contribute up to 4-5 times the maximum monetary limit. The website lists Ben Ware’s (who is listed as President of Ware Disposal) home address of 21 Sarteano Drive, Newport Coast, California, 92657.
