This is a required filing from the Costa Mesa Police Officers Association IEC from the last election.
It shows that this group spent a whopping $ 12,122.72 on a mailer supporting Wendy Leece.
Now, why would the association, composed of many police officers who don't live in Costa Mesa, spend so much money to elect a City Council Member in this city where they can't even vote?
What was in it for them?
Do you think they cared for the improvement of Costa Mesa and thought that Wendy would help with that?
How about the schools, do you think they were concerned about schools far from their own families and children and thought Wendy might help with improving them?
What about our roads and parks, was that a concern for them? Do you think they thought that Wendy would be a good solid vote for roads and parks?
Hmmmm. Now, why would the police association spend so much money to try to elect a Council Member
like Wendy Leece?
BTW--This isn't the only money the association and related groups spent to try to elect Wendy and defeat fiscal conservatives.

| Sign recently installed by City Council after the CM PRESS reminded them that such a sign is in the Westside Plans |
WELCOME!
Here's a brief look at what we're about:
We are for the improvement of Costa Mesa.
We see this issue as transcending left/right politics, but it so happens that most of those who we think are on the right track right now do happen to be conservative.
We believe our city can be a true shining city on a hill and we've been working for years to help that vision come to pass.
We first started publishing the CM PRESS as The Community Watchdog in late 1999 and at that time, we faxed it and hand distributed it. Then, as the years went on, we switched to this blog format.
Back when it appeared that forces were working to turn the Westside into a permanent and official ethnic ghetto, we helped form the Westside Improvement Association and worked with many others on a different vision for the Westside.
It's a vision that sees the Westside as a slightly Bohemian, upscale place to live, work and visit. It also sees W. 19th Street as an urbane shopping street with a slightly different flavor than South Coast Metro and E. 17th Street.
This vision is contained in the Westside Plans that you can find HERE
We believe the 3Ms--Steve Mensinger, Gary Monahan, Colin McCarthy--all family men, either with children in our public schools or whose children will be in our public schools when they're old enough, and with true emotional investments in our community, are the best candidates this year to help move the Westside Plans along.
Although the Westside Plans are largely based on bringing in private money to help transform the area, public money is also needed to improve the infrastructure and correct some of the problems that have developed over the years.
This public money has largely been lacking in the past because we had a bloated municipal government that skimmed off most tax revenues for salaries and benefits and left little for the infrastructure.
The present good Council Members have started changing that and have now freed up money to fix infrastructure. The 3Ms promise to continue this process. We like that.

| Not Geoff West! |
Check out this dim wit's comments over in the Daily Pilot [HERE] for a good laugh! He made a comment that apparently went over his own head!
Hey, he doesn't have to come in here to be insulted!
This is the same guy who used to comment on men's hair all the time until Mayor Bever called him on it!
[West apparently thinks an exclamation point should be used after every sentence!]

BUENA PARK TO CONSIDER GETTING RID OF ITS POLICE FORCE AND USING THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
And, you better believe that many citizens in Costa Mesa are wondering if we might be better off by going the same route.
Frankly, many Costa Mesans don't trust the CMPD because of the actions of what the citizens think may be a few bad apples. The problem is that since the names of the bad apples are not given except in rare circumstances, citizens don't know who to trust and who not to trust.

CLICHE RIDDEN LOCAL COMMENTER KEEPS WHINING ABOUT THE IMPROVEMENTS THE GOOD COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE MAKING
 |
| Geoff West slouching |
Click on almost any column or letter in the Daily Pilot that tells about the improvements the good Council Members are making and you'll more than likely see some snarky comments from this pathetic character West.
Then, click on almost any column or letter, also in the Daily Pilot, that attacks the good Council Members and once again you'll see comments from this West character but this time seconding the negative comments.
 |
| Geoff West standing |
And, then, West's comments will be followed by attaboys from the small group of other lefty dimwits and Democrat apparatchiks.
West apparently sees himself as being part of some sort of rapid response team against the good Council Members and also against the 3Ms.
And, West claims he's a Republican. Of course, anyone can register for any political party, so that doesn't mean much, does it?
West has no children
If you bother to read West's crap, just consider the source. He's a bitter old man who has never had children and thus can't relate to the real problems of families in Costa Mesa.
West knows nothing about the schools because he's never had kids in them, and never will, yet
he recently tried to tell Steve Mensinger what the schools should do.
Mensinger, in case you aren't aware, does have kids in the local schools and Steve and his wife put in countless hours trying to make things better.
And, Steve could easily put his kids in private schools as do many of his neighbors in Mesa Verde, but he hasn't done that. His kids are in our public schools. That's how you really learn about the schools--by having kids there. That's something West will never know.
You can't understand the concerns of families if you don't have one
And, what about the concerns of our families trying to eke out a living in a tough economy all the while seeing food and clothing prices go ever higher and knowing that their kids need good food and nice clothes? What does West know about that? Nothing.
West has to feed himself (which, as you can tell from the photo of him standing, he seems to do pretty well) and his wife. What's that cost? Not much.
When you're a parent your concerns for our City are very real and not just theoretical
Compare West to guys like Gary Monahan, who West also whines about. Gary has six kids. Six little mouths to feed. Six kids to clothe. Six kids needing all the things that kids need. Six kids to set aside money for so they can go to college. Six kids who get sick and who need to go to the doctor. Six kids who need to go to the dentist.
Yes, consider the source when you see that pompous ass West trying to lecture families in Costa Mesa about what they should do.
West has none of the concerns of parents in our city, so he can pontificate about all sorts of things and can be a hobbyist in our politics, while the families who want to raise their kids in a nice safe environment with good schools are the ones who are hurt when the wrong people--such as lefties--get on our City Council.

Actually Mensinger's kids went to private school until high school as do Righeimer's. What is wrong with sending you children to a school that supports your religious beliefs and values? Are you against parents doing the right thing for their children regardless of political aspirations?
