CM PRESS # 852

INTERESTING ARTICLE IN THE OC REGISTER ABOUT THE COST OF POLICING VARIOUS CITIES

Although Costa Mesa isn't mentioned in the article, according to the City's preliminary FY 12-13 budget, we'll spend $ 40,838,225 for policing our city this fiscal year.

With the above figure, you can now make your own comparisons with the cities that are mentioned in the Register article to see if we're about where we should be with our policing costs or whether some improvement is needed.

One thing we noted was that Mission Viejo with a population of 93,102 (2000 Census) only plays $15.2 million dollars for its policing which is supplied by the Sheriff, while Costa Mesa with a population of 108,724 (2000 Census) is paying $40,838.225 for policing with our in-house police department.
More current population figures would be helpful, but the above gives a rough idea of things.

UPDATE:  ELDERLY WHITE HUSBAND NOW FOLLOWS HIS ELDERLY WHITE WIFE IN DEATH AFTER BEATING BY BLACK (The elderly wife was also raped)

Welcome to the new Dark Age America which is far different from the America that this elderly man went to war for back in the '40's.

If Obama had a son, he'd look like the killer of this elderly White couple.

NEW BLACK PANTHER PARTY LEADER: "MICHELLE OBAMA JUST CRUSHES THESE WHITE WOMEN WITH HER SUPERIOR BEAUTY"

Also has other negative things to say about Whites.

Says that Obama will take the MSNBC White vote this year.  No doubt.  Good Whites don't see race, or skin color, that's why they avoid voting for the White guy and for the Black guy.

If Obama had a son, he'd look like this guy. Would probably talk the same way too.

NICE COLUMN ABOUT HOW CONSERVATIVES DESTROY THEMSELVES

We almost didn't bother reading the above column because its title made it sound as though it was just about European conservatives.  However, what the writer points out is valid not only for America but also for those running for office right here in Costa Mesa.

The main lesson:  Don't try to put austerity measures on the backs of ordinary citizens and ask them to suffer while the rich get a pass (and the rich will always get a pass because of their wealth).

HAVE YOU NOTICED...

We've been seeing travel brochures and ads lately that promote travel to cities in Mexico, but which avoid mentioning that they're in Mexico or put the word Mexico in small print.  Given all the murders and crime in Mexico, that's not a bad marketing strategy.

One might expect to hear something like this from the less conscious among us:

"Are you going to Mexico on your vacation?"

"Of course not.  We're going to Cancun."

NORTH CAROLINA EASILY PASSES CONSTITUTIONAL BAN ON GAY MARRIAGES


With 34.37% of registered voters going to the polls, those in favor of the ban on gay marriages trounced those who opposed the measure 1,303, 952 to 831,788.

This win should send shivers through the Obama campaign, as Obama's operatives were against the ban.
