We had quite an Anaheim Democrats Club meeting last Thursday, between 40th District Congressional candidate Lisa Ramirez (video here), discussion of making Anaheim sister cities with Hebron (petition here, video coming up), and Marc Herbert’s learned explication of the upcoming ATID controversies.
But what EVERYBODY wanted to see was fired whistleblower Kari Bouffard, and her announcement of her new nonprofit C.L.E.A.R. (Coalition for Local Ethics, Accountability and Reform.) Many folks were sad they couldn’t make it – well here’s the video of THAT!
That’s it. That’s the story. The video is the story. But if this is all new to you, you must have missed Yusra Farzan’s Oct. 24 story in the LAist; and her follow-up four days later.
Oh, and maybe you missed City Manager James Vanderpool‘s furious reaction to these stories at the October 28 Council meeting (video coming right up!)
Jim doesn’t sound too happy. But just between you and me there’s a lot more to come: keep your eyes on the LA Times, where Gabriel San Roman has much more coming out soon, much much more, very very soon.
To re-iterate from the video, if you know of corruption in Anaheim or any other OC city, and you want to either come out as a whistleblower and know your rights, OR just pass the info on while keeping your secrecy, the e-mail to contact is tips@clearcorruption.org.
Wow this CLEAR thing that Kari is starting sounds awesome. Vern do you know if she has any funding to have a staff? I would be very interested in working in this as a paralegal.
