HERE'S THE LINK TO THE COSTA MESA TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION AGAIN

Looks like these folks are much more active on Facebook than on their website, but if you scroll around over there, you'll find a lot of facts about Costa Mesa's financial problems.

THAT STEVE MENSINGER IS A BIG BULLY
(We imagine the guy in the photo is talking.)
[Hold your nose tight with your fingers as you say the following, to get the full picture.]

"Steve Mensinger is thuch a big bully. Why he walked past me very fast and I almost fell over.  Now, that's a bully for you.

"And, he suggested that Wendy Leece wasn't doing much to help the kids in our city.  Now, is that bullying or what?"

SANTA  ANA ORDERS HOTEL'S DEMOLITION
Link

We often make fun of Santa Ana, but if you're interested in improving Costa Mesa, do yourself a favor and read the above linked article all the way through (it's not that long).

Wouldn't you love to hear some Costa Mesa officials say the sorts of things the Santa Ana officials are saying?

And, speaking of Santa Ana, if you haven't driven up Bristol Street all the way to First Street in many years,  you might give it a try.  Santa Ana has transformed that street from what we might expect to find on the Westside of Costa Mesa into something that looks like it belongs in Newport Beach.

As we wrote before, cities can't stand still.  They have to improve or they deteriorate.

In Costa Mesa, too much of our tax money is being sucked up in wages and benefits and too little of it is going into the types of improvements that Santa Ana is making to that city.

If this keeps up, Santa Ana will be the new Costa Mesa and Costa Mesa will be the old Santa Ana.

ARE YOU TIRED OF HEARING WENDY LEECE SAY SHE LIVES ON THE WESTSIDE?

From her oft repeated statement about where she lives, you're supposed to believe that she's for Westside improvement because, by golly, she's right in the thick of  the Westside. A real Slum Goddess, by gum. 

Nothing could be further from the truth.

In the first place, Leece lives in a gated community (you know, to keep "them" out).  It's one of the very few gated communities in Costa Mesa. 

Leece might as well be living in Irvine.

In the second place, her idea of improvement is to give support to the charities that are acting as magnets to attract and keep people in Costa Mesa who wouldn't be able to live here without the subsidies from the charities.  That means illegal aliens, mostly.

LEFTIES  ON THE SAME PAGE

At last night's City Council meeting, failed City Council candidate and sour grapes loser Chris McEvoy went to the podium to call Council member Mensinger a "bully."

Then, later on in the meeting, useless bag of wind and phony Wendy Leece told Mensinger that he can't "bully" her.

WE IMAGINE...

One ringy dingy, two ringy dingy--"Hello, this is Out Of Town Big Union, ah, your neighbor from, er, Costa Rica, I mean Coster Messer.

"Say, did you hear the four men on the Coster Messer City Council weren't happy that Osama Bin Laden was killed? 

"Do you, as a fine upstanding citizen of, er, Coster Messer, think that the men on your city council should be there when they don't approve of the U.S. getting a terrorist like Osama?

"Will you sign a petition to get rid of those terrorist loving Councilmen?"

OUT-OF -TOWN-BIG-UNION WANTS TO RECALL THE FOUR GOOD COUNCIL MEMBERS

Apparently, Out-Of-Town-Big-Union has begun a highly negative telephone push poll as a step toward launching a recall election of 4 of our 5 City Council members in November.

They are using live-call pollsters under the name "Opinion Research." They call between dinner and 9 p.m.
A recall would a pose a significant financial strain on the City and potentially lead to a union takeover of our City.

If you want a fiscally responsible government and if you want an improved Costa Mesa, it is important that you stay engaged and informed and not be duped by this expensive negative campaign.

Remember, all that the four good Council members are trying to do is control expenses and improve the city.

And, for this they're being threatened by out of town goons and creeps of all sorts who have enlisted the aid of a few local left wing kooks to act as their fronts.

CITY ADDS TRANSPARENCY PAGE TO WEBSITE
Link ("Transparency" tab at top of page)

It's a single page with links to important information that makes it easier to find out what our municipal government is doing.

Now, watch some of the nutcakes say things like "Yeah, but on page 32, there's a comma that shouldn't be there and that just shows this is like the City of Bell.  What are they hiding with that comma?  It looks like Righeimer is up to his old tricks and is using his puppet Mensinger to bully the punctuation."

CITIES COMPETE FOR WELL EDUCATED, PRODUCTIVE, UPWARDLY MOBILE CITIZENS

How's Costa Mesa doing in the competition?

Well, we seem to be attracting a lot of illegal aliens and homeless people.

Why is that the case?

It's because we've not done the things that will attract well educated, productive, upwardly mobile people.

In fact, we've been doing the things that attract poorly educated, unproductive, downwardly mobile people.

We're hopeful that the new majority on the Council will change that, and so far they seem to be on the right track.

HOW NOT TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE

One wonders what is going through the minds of some of the barely literate commenters in the Daily Pilot or some of the nutcakes who speak at City Council meetings lately who keep trying to smear and intimidate the responsible City Councilmembers.

Do they think they're winning over the Councilmembers with their tired arguments and hate speech?

Do they think they'll intimidate the Councilmembers?

At last night's Council meeting we watched the usual low I.Q. types troop up to the podium like geese on a greased string to squawk their samey same rambling  nonsense and insults. And then even after the nuttiest of the nutty spoke, the trained seals in the audience clapped and hooted.

All these haters and bigots are doing is causing more ordinary citizens to lose any type of sympathy for them.
