“No good deed goes unpunished,” said Mayor Jennifer Fitzgerald (who works for a political lobbyist) following a public hearing over the city’s decision to apply for grant funding to purchase less than half of the undeveloped Coyote Hills land for an inflated price based on its inappropriate rezoning for housing. Her smug exasperation was primarily directed at Friends of Coyote Hills (FCH)Chair Angela Chen Lindstrom, who addressed the council to clarify that the position of FCH was to support the city’s grant applications, but that FCH was also suing the city because the council did not…
That agreement was preposterously bad.
If Measure W were so toothless that the city could just wait a while and pretend it didn’t happen, it seems unlikely that anyone would have bothered with the vigorous and costly campaign waged to stop it.
It’s almost a given that the City of Fullerton, with it’s crack team from Jones & Mayer, The HR Experts™ would blunder along incoherently, but Chevron?
To call the mayor’s reaction to the speaker “problematic” would be a gross understatement.
Her contempt was palatable.
More significant, Mayor Fitzgerald opined that Fullerton’s citizens should recognize when a win is a win.
I’d remind the mayor we had an election. Fullerton citizens celebrated a win.
It’s a damn shame the city council didn’t recognize a win is a win.
Presumably, the only hope now is litigation. I’ll look to nipsey for leadership in that arena.
Please, having now posted an entire sentence tangentially related to Coyote Hills, it’s just a matter of time before you’re the one claiming ‘leadership’.
One hopes you’ll never have occasion to claim ‘success’…
Sure, litigation is only “tangentially related” to Coyote Hills.
Like I said, I’m waiting to see you actually do something, Waldorf.
*We were working as a caddie at the Coyote Hills Country Club…..everyone else was from Manila. Didn’t make much money, but enough to keep building the first car at age
14. Too bad kids can’t do that anymore. The Grounds keeper however, was a bit iffy….if you catch our drift.
Ron and Anna was a caddie? One of those four-legged ones?
*You had to be dedicated to caddie at Los Coyotes Country Club…those were some mean Phillipino caddies vying for those jobs. The Caddie Master was a bad dude and old…..and Phillipino too!
But …but…I thought you folks were pushing for full acceptance of the “iffy” ! Not back then, huh ? lol.
