SO! Andrew Do, the Garden Grove Councilman who:
-
hashad long been the most prominent Vietnamese-American “Jannie” (adherent of Supervisor Janet Nguyen) and was her chief of staff till last year – -
is generally considered a carpetbagger for his Garden Grove seat, as he owns a huge home in Santa Ana, but rents a little room in GG to justify his position –
-
acted as “bagman” for Janet on at least one 2010 occasion, telling Quang Pham who was then considering a Congressional run against Loretta Sanchez that Janet could deliver him a majority of Little Saigon votes in the GOP primary for the price of $150 grand [a ludicrous offer in retrospect – the fading Janet take that many votes away from Boss Van Tran? – and of course Quang told Andrew to pound sand.] –
-
was fired as a scapegoat by Janet in the wake of her “Black April” fiasco (a fiasco we unforgettably depicted here) –
…has just shaken the little world of Garden Grove by announcing his abrupt resignation from the Council.
His stated reasons? You guessed it: He wants to spend more time with his family, and running his business. Oh, and he took some parting shots at Garden Grove city staff who he suddenly claims haven’t shared enough information with him over the years. He had only another year left in his four-year term, and now I assume the other four members will have to choose a replacement (I’ll double-check that.) It OUGHT to be Juice friend Robin Marcario, the great community activist who came in right after Do in the 2008 election.
Something’s going on here that’s not meeting the eye yet. I think so, Bolsavik thinks so, everyone thinks so. We will continue to update this story, as we make contact with more pajaritos! (hat-tip to GG resident Jim Benson)
We are waiting to get Janet’s spin on this before we post it on Blue…Red…oh what does it matter!!!
Let the circle jerk begin.
Paul are you referring to the activities in Suite C?
Well not really. I was referring to the expected feeding frenzy by unspecified consultants and pundits leading up to the foisting of a new candidate who will do their bidding. But now that you mention it….
How much labor and Democratic money was wrongly siphoned off in 2008 for Trannie Paul Lucas’s campaign? Robin was the one who had the real progressive record and actually had been involved with the community. Paul didn’t you do enough damage last time? Have you no shame?
What ever dude. That scenario plays out in every election wih the bitrterness to boot. As far as I know, Im the only one who called Robin to congratulate her when it looked like she was going to be the winning candidate. There were a ton of Jannies in the DPOC that did alot more damage than you imaginne I did to robins campaign.
I guess not. With a couple of years to think about it you continue to blame others. Once a lying mooch always a lying mooch.
Speaking of lying mooches I am gonna invite Phil Bacerra over to suite C for cocktails.
Im gonna guess this is Marc Sussman or that one woman who feighned all the fake attacks against her and then turned into a major subverter and took over ECCO. Anyone remeber her name. This same perosn has been stalking me allover the blogs the past two days. Weirdo.
If only every politician was like Lou COrrea, who holds government accountable, even his own staff. He canned his own Chief of Staff and Scheduler when they were caught having an affair with each other. That is a real honest guy.
wait what? when did this happen? elighten us please mr gerbil.
Who could have predicted Garden Grove City Council member Andrew Do would quit?
Perhaps his plans for higher office were never to be realized. His statements regarding not obtaining enough information to make informed decisions is not surprising, as he could have attended city council meetings to be informed before he ran for office. The questionable Garden Grove residency issue remained a concern for many residents in the city. He will remain comfortable in his over 3,000 sqft. house in Santa Ana.
The city council has yet to appoint the third runner-up from the election. They have always appointed their choice to fill the city council vacancy. In the past they have appointed Mark Rosen, Harry Krebs, and most recently Steve Jones. This enables their choice to run as an appointed incumbent for the next election, thereby giving their candidate an advantage.
I’m tan, rested, and ready to serve! (I was the first female G.G. Mayor as well by the way) Irv Picler will be running my campaign and you can send any checks to Irv. I can serve on the Water Board and the City Council as well. Could someone please let Broadwater know I want to be appointed?
P.S. Here is a photo you can use of me for press purposes Also, please tell that guy M. Leyes I’ll crush his nuts if he tries to get appointed instead of me! And if I have to run against him, I’ll beat him like a drum like I did when he tried to run against me for Water Board!!!!!!!
