The real leader in this race will be Steve Baric! Jesse is a nice guy but his failure to follow thru on his term limits petition makes me think he will do anything to get his name in the paper. He wasted city time and money and then failed to go out and get signatures, no vote from me Jesse.
Jesse is a retard.
A few years back he organized a mock-lynching in front of a muslim mosque in Los Angeles.
But hey, if a Ku Klux Klan member can get elected to the US Senate, why not Jesse Petrilla for RSM city council.
Lets turn the OC into an even bigger joke that it is already.
Ah, no wonder Crazy Dana picks him out for an endorsement out of – what – hundreds of city council candidates in the OC. I’ll have to keep my eye on this prick.
Baric is the leader in this race.
I believe in term limits as a general rule. However, RSM in its short history has been managed extremely well. So I’m cool with the incumbent here.
There 3 candidates for this race are clearly Steve Baric, Gary Thompson and Neil Blais. Hearing Jesse talk is a joke… he has a few irrelevant, patronizing, textbook snipes, ABSOLUTELY no experience (and it’s obvious). Jees, if I hear the word, “Streamline” one more time, I swear. He just was served (a lawsuit) by SAMLARC because he can’t follow basic law and rules, he’s a f-n nut job whose doesn’t care about the City of RSM, this race is simply a stepping stone to his delusion of grandeur, that he will be a higher level politician someday. This race is the first time that a race has involved “mud slinging”, thanks to Jesse…because he has no experience, he has to resort to frivolous attacks.
Jesse claims to be a “businessman”, someone who doesn’t employ anyone, out of his house, doesn’t make him a business guy. He’s a hobbyist. He claims to have co-founded the RSM Chamber of Commerce…it’s not a CoC, it’s a small group of insurance sales reps, failed business people and small transactional business types, looking for their next job or sale.
70% of Jesse’s campaign contributions have come from OUTSIDE of the City of RSM, most likely from co-anti-Islam group members.
I have heard Jesse making personal attacks against Gary Thompson and Neil Blais, who ar current City Council members….I have known Gary and Neil for years and know that RSM needs experienced, ethical, big picture leaders who have positive long-term relationships, who will do what’s BEST FOR RSM, not themselves.

This Petrilla guy sounds hilarious. He thinks he’s that Bauer fellow from 24 huh.
And of all the 28 or so cities in the OC, he’s the City Council candidate that Crazy Dana Rohrabacher “Fighting For Freedom While Having Fun!” chooses to get behind.
