And she scores. Pero, Loretta. Now that you’ve acknowledged Van Tran’s existence, what could be the harm in taking him up on one or two of his debate offers? I don’t want to have a double standard here when I rail on John Campbell, Ken Calvert and Don Warner for being too chicken to face their brilliant challengers. YOU don’t have that excuse – you would clean silly Van Tran’s clock.
Quickly! Before that “Debate Duck” they send around to all your events dies of heat stroke – he barely survived that OC Labor event last week. Do you want Duck Blood on your hands?
Just my thoughts. 🙂 (I’ll probably get yelled at now…)
Maybe if he’s request a debate with reasonable time. Loretta is a busy, hard working woman. Think she’s afraid to take on Van? Pleeeease! In her word’s in the Sunday September 5th OC Register: “I took five congressmen on. You don’t think I can take one Sacramento assemblyman?”
Well then, ándale! I’ll be there to cover it.
All of the local assembly members and state senators collect the same money, per deim.
After two large pay cuts, keeping the budget unfinished, is the only way for them to collect “tax free” money, to pay for their second (primary?) houses in N California.
So tell me, it is uncool for the Viet representative to collect that “per deim”
But it is OK for the 2 local Latino’s to collect the same “per deim”?
Oh and you do know that members of congress are given ½ million dollars a year to hire office help to do their job. Talk about a slush fund.
Hey Vern! The Jerb says you’re vituperative and slapdash. Care to translate?
LOL, seriously, he wrote that about me? That’s some good wordsmithing there, putting those two words together – a multisyllabic latinism paired with a boom-boom percussive old-school British coinage. Plus which, I probably really am both of those things, at least sometimes. I’ll have to go over there and give him a pat on the head.
Loretta, you are not a “saint” yourself,,,,don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house
Loreta, tu tienes cola que te pisen, no eres tan sincera como tu le demuestras al publico
Vern……..you’re too damn funny…….How long did it take you to write that comment?
Per Diem, is paid as part of the compensation for a State Legislator. As far as I know there are no legal restrictions on how it is spent.
One would think there are better ways to go after Tran. Like his track record of not getting anything done in six years on the state level.
Van is the man who has pages of Google-available mischief under his belt. The same man who spawned underlings like Tyler (Truong) Diep and Andy Quach, both of whom came into conflict with law enforcement and pushed the boundaries of their own legal authority. Google them! Look up the blog “Bolsavik” and read what their own community says about them. I am the retired police chief of Westminster and I believe he brings dishonor to government, his family and supporters. He could run against a potted plant; i’d vote for the plant.
