The OC GOP is about to get pummeled in the upcoming November General Election, thanks to their party’s horrific Presidential nominee, Donald Trump. But the party machinery is still going through the motions. This week the OC GOP’s Endorsement Committee and Central Committee made a few truly awful endorsements, as detailed by the OC Political Blog, here and here.

Probably the worst of their endorsements was that of Fountain Valley Councilman Steve Nagel, who was a Fountain Valley firefighter from 1977-2005. Continue reading→

Disney poured at least $671,000 into political action committees financing the city council campaigns of Anaheim City Council candidates Gail Eastman and Kris Murray in the NOv. 4, 2014 General Election, according to the Voice of OC. At least one Disney-supported PAC spent $136,925 on campaign ads against two challengers, Jose F. Moreno and James Vanderbilt, according to campaign records, as reported by the OC Register.

John Lewis, a former state senator and assemblyman who is working as a campaign consultant for Vanderbilt and Mayor Tait, said Disney is using its financial clout to ensure that a $320 million streetcar is built. The project would connect Disneyland to a a transit hub near Angel Stadium, according to the OC Register.

For Disney it was worth spending $671K if they could ensure that they could rip off the people of Anaheim with a $320M streetcar the city doesn’t need. Continue reading→

By the New Anaheim Blog

A supporter of Anaheim Councilwoman Kris Murray and Mayoral candidate Lucille Kring, named Lisa Burnett Lewis, did the unthinkable this week. She dredged up sealed court records and threatened Anahcim City Council candidate Doug Pettibone, in a scathing email message sent to the Anaheim City Clerk. The email was outed by the publisher of the LiberalOC blog, who has always supported mayoral challenger Lorri Galloway, in past Anaheim elections.

Pettibone apparently went through a bad divorce 16 years ago and he was charged with domestic battery but ultimately the charges were dismissed and the entire mess was supposedly sealed.

Pettibone is now friendly with his ex wife and she was supporting his City Council campaign.

The Orange Juice blog broke the story down in an in-depth post you can read here. Continue reading→

Curt Pringle

Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait and his supporters Wednesday celebrated the defeat of Measure D – which would have shortened the mayoral term from four years to two – calling it a “victory for the people” and a sign that voters are wising up to the influence of money in politics, according to the Voice of OC.

Measure D got 8,262 yes votes, equal to 45.7% of the vote. The No side prevailed with 9,825 votes and 54.3% of the vote.

This is the beginning of the end for former Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle, who engineered Measure D and now must take his lumps for failing to fool the voters. Continue reading→

“If you just set out to be liked, you will be prepared to compromise on anything at anytime, and would achieve nothing. ” ― Margaret Thatcher

We wish it was that simple to explain these three women who would claim to be in service to the public. But it’s not really a compromise they made last week denying the voters of Anaheim the opportunity to fairly and legally select their own District representation on their own City Council.
