Costa Mesa Adjusts Outsourcing Process
Responding to concerns raised by the Costa Mesa City Employees’ Assn., City Chief Executive Officer Tom Hatch has formed Contracting Committees that will include employee association representatives to research the viability of outsourcing of some City services.
In a letter sent today to the employees’ association, Hatch said three Requests for Proposals (RFPs) that have been recently sent out—for video production services, animal control services and building inspection services—will be withdrawn and the newly formed Contracting Committees will explore the benefits of outsourcing each particular service.
If contracting is a viable option for any of these services, the committees will finalize the Requests for Proposals for City Council approval.
Hatch also will have a Contracting Committee review an RFP for jail operations prepared by Police Department staff.
To date, four out of the initially proposed 18 RFPs have been released. All were prepared with significant input from members of the Costa Mesa City Employees’ Assn. regarding scope of services, level of expected service, and the affected stakeholders.
The new procedures announced by Hatch are aligned with a council policy passed in 1999 that provided guidelines for potential outsourcing and is among the existing policies and regulations referenced in the employees’ association contracts with the City.
The council policy states that the City Council approves the RFPs, views the submitted proposals and “makes approval accordingly.”
“The Aug. 1 letter from Association President Helen Nenadal brought up some valid concerns that the City felt should be addressed as it explores outsourcing, and I thank her for it,” Hatch said. “Now that we’ve made the adjustments, we look forward to completing this process in a timely fashion.”
The policy calls for the Contracting Committees to be formed from three segments of the City’s workforce: “Project Responsibility/Facilitator,” which can include finance director, administrative services director, budget and research officer, personnel manager; “Department Representative” (a department head, manager and/or supervisor of service being evaluated and “representatives from the service area … with technical expertise and qualifications to knowledgably discuss the contracting proposal”); and “Employee Representative” (“representatives designated by the appropriate employees’ association to evaluate and provide input regarding the specific service being evaluated”).
In his letter, Hatch said the six-month layoff notices issued to 213 employees whose jobs may be outsourced will remain in place, though no layoffs were anticipated on Sept. 17—six months from when the first notices were issued.
“I hope we can all take this opportunity to do an honest assessment of existing service delivery and options of improving that service at a lesser cost,” Hatch concluded, “whether it be through contracting out, ‘contracting-in,’ or restructuring.”
In July, an Orange County Superior Court judge issued a preliminary injunction to stop the City from outsourcing services to private companies until a lawsuit filed by the Costa Mesa City Employees’ Assn. to halt the process is heard.

HOW CAN THE CMPD REGAIN THE RESPECT OF CITIZENS OF COSTA MESA?
The most important thing CMPD officers and their unions can do is to stay out of our politics. Period.
To be seen as professionals you have to act like professionals. No more political mailings. No more A-Frame signs. No more smear campaigns. No more giving money to shills you want elected to the Council.

OUT OF TOWN EMPLOYEES SQUIRM AT HAVING THEIR NAMES AND SALARIES REVEALED TO THE PEOPLE WHO PAY THEM
Be sure to check out the comments from the presumed out of town union employees after this Daily Pilot article on their compensation HERE.
See the pattern? Most are whining because citizens of Costa Mesa are being told who makes what.
Now, aren't these some of the same people who have been calling for transparency?
HERE's the employee compensation report. Keep it handy. If you can't get proper service from one of your employees, or if you are treated rudely, you can look up what you're paying the person. This will make the processes of our local government more real for you.

LATEST FROM FRIENDS FOR FULLERTONS FUTURE
TALK ABOUT SYNCHRONICITY...
As you can read in THIS Daily Pilot story, Mayor Pro Tem Righeimer is going to Ordos, China.
Ordos? Hmmm. Where have we seen that name before? Got it!
On its California 460 Form (Recipient Committee Campaign Statement) filed with the Costa Mesa City Clerk on August 5, 2010, the Costa Mesa Police Officers Association IEC shows its treasurer to be a man named Wayne Ordos.
What is the significance of this? Nothing. That is, unless you believe in a sort of cosmic balancing.
Ordos (the man) was against Righeimer, so maybe the cosmic scales will now be balanced by having Ordos (the city) be palsy with Mr. Righeimer.
Wouldn't it be interesting if Mr. Righeimer got support from Ordos (the city), perhaps in the form of commitments to invest some of that Chinese money in helping with improving the Westside, like, say, by buying up some buildings, tearing them down and building something nicer?

New Witness Tells FFFF That Fullerton Cops Confiscated A Witness's Camera After The Kelly Thomas Beating

WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF ANY GOVERNMENT?
Governments should exist to serve the people who are governed. This applies to our national government and all lower governments including the government of Costa Mesa.
Unfortunately, in Costa Mesa, government, for too many years, has been bought and paid for by various employee union groups.
When a politician receives endorsements and thousands of dollars from employee unions--as has been the case in Costa Mesa--who do you think will be taken care of by those politicians when they get elected?
In the last election, Wendy Leece got the endorsements and money from the employee unions. Oh, Wendy denies she got money, but that's not really accurate. As we reported before, the money was given by the unions to Costa Mesa First (Sandy Genis and Greg Ridge) and then Costa Mesa First printed up signs supporting Wendy.
Wendy has become an improvement and responsible government obstructionist. She is part of the Ancien Regime. She is not part of the New Council.
In the next election, the Ancien Regime will once again try to buy seats on the City Council.
Even now, they're sending their possible candidates to City Council meetings to go to the podium to get their faces and names known.
As always, the CM PRESS is watching and connecting dots.

Obama Admin. Exempting Schools From Standardized Testing
Too many students can't pass the tests.
The "one humanity" crowd will claim that this is because the schools aren't teaching kids.
Some others will say it's because the schools are full of minority kids who can't pass the tests.
The reality is that both reactions are correct on the surface, but the deeper truth here is that our society continues to bumble along under the false premise that all people and all races are the same under different color paint jobs as though humans are identical motor vehicles coming off the assembly line and then, almost as an afterthought, some are painted white, others black or brown or yellow or red. Under the hood, goes this false thinking, all the important parts are the same and if you see any external differences, they are just trifles to ignore.
The reality is different. Nature's human assembly line is turning out sedans, race cars, trucks, etc. Nature does this in all species. It's because nature is the great engineer and tinkerer. It never stops tinkering with life to have some form of life adapt and survive under all possible circumstances and conditions.
But, with the absurd idee fixe that all humans are the same, society wrongly demands that all people and all races show the same abilities and capabilitiess as all other people and races. This led to standardized testing in schools.
Nature tells us something different. It tells us that all people and all races are no more the same than are race horses and plow horses.
Send race horses to plow horse school and they'll never, as a statistical group, be good plow horses. Their genetic programs are different. Send plow horse to race horse school and they'll never, as a statistical group, be as fast as race horses. Their genetic programs are different.
The additional false idea that seeing differences among different types of humans amounts to hate has led society to accept all sorts of costly social engineering programs that don't work. Head Start is one of those costly programs that has now been shown to be a failure. Standardized testing is another. At the end of the day, the differences still exist. That's because humans, as is the case with all organisms, are largely the product of our genes.
When we start realizing that differences among human beings are nature's way, and when we integrate this realization into the notion that there are individual differences that cross broad statistical groupings such that, say, some White men can jump and that some Blacks really don't have rhythm, then we can start understanding the human condition and can face the reality of how nature works.
In other words, with a proper understanding of nature, we can accept individual and group differences and we can avoid the false idea that all people of all races are the same as all people of all other races and we can also avoid the other false idea that every person of a particular race is the same as every other person of that race.
No individual of any race should be pigeon holed just because of race--that way leads to a caste system and does not allow for individual differences--but at the same time, we have to understand that standardized tests don't work, because humanity is not standardized.
Vive la difference.

Folks, we repeat what we've said before. This isn't just about the beating death of one man or one police department. This is about stopping police abuse in every city including in Costa Mesa and maybe preventing another tragedy like the Kelly Thomas beating.

REUTERS SANITIZES ITS REPORT ON THE ANTI-WHITE HATE ATTACKS IN WISCONSIN
HERE'S the Reuters report on the attacks on Whites by hundreds of Blacks. Notice what's missing?
Right. There's no mention that the attackers were all Black and the innocent victims, including people pulled out of their cars, were all Whites.
Imagine if even a few Whites attacked Blacks because they're Black. By now you'd be seeing sicko White libs with moist doe eyes out marching while holding candles and crying about hate.

Go and represent Costa Mesa citizens against police abuse and help call for justice for Kelly Thomas.

Here's an e-mail that's making the rounds that we thought you might enjoy...
DO YOU REMEMBER MARICOPA COUNTY ARIZONA SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO? HE'S THE GUY THAT INVENTED THE PHRASE "IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY JAIL, DON'T COME BACK". WAY TO GO SHERIFF JOE!
SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb. Well......... SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!
Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe!
Maricopa County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over, and the County Supervisors said okay.
The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and behavior. They give great classes for anyone who'd like to adopt an animal. He has literally taken stray dogs off the street, given them to the care of prisoners, and had them place in dog shows.
The best part? His budget for the entire department is now under $3 million. Teresa and I adopted a Weimaraner from a Maricopa County shelter two years ago. He was neutered, and current on all shots, in great health, and even had a microchip inserted the day we got him. Cost us $78.
The prisoners get the benefit of about $0.28 an hour for working, but most would work for free, just to be out of their cells for the day. Most of his budget is for utilities, building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners out of the fees collected for adopted animals.
I have long wondered when the rest of the country would take a look at the way he runs the jail system, and copy some of his ideas. He has a huge farm, donated to the county years ago, where inmates can work, and they grow most of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all the work and harvesting by hand.
He has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides meat, and fertilizer. It fertilizes the Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you can buy a living Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the Holidays, and plant it later. We have six trees in our yard from the Prison.
Yup, he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote.
Now he's in trouble with the ACLU again. He painted all his buses and vehicles with a mural, that has a special hotline phone number painted on it, where you can call and report suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement wasn't doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically for enforcing immigration laws, started up his hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling folks back to the border He's kind of a 'Git-R Dun' kind of Sheriff.
TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO
HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF
AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:
Sheriff Joe Arpaio (In Arizona ) who created the ' Tent City Jail':
He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.
He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights Cut off all but 'G' movies.
He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.
Then He Started Chain Gangs For Women So He Wouldn't Get Sued For Discrimination.
He took away cable TV Until he found out there was A Federal Court Order that Required Cable TV For Jails So He Hooked Up The Cable TV Again Only Let In The Disney Channel And The Weather Channel.
When asked why the weather channel He Replied, So They Will Know How Hot It's Gonna Be While They Are Working ON My Chain Gangs.
He Cut Off Coffee Since It Has Zero Nutritional Value.
When the inmates complained, he told them, 'This Isn't The Ritz/Carlton......If You Don't Like It, Don't Come Back.'
More On The Arizona Sheriff:
With Temperatures Being Even Hotter Than Usual In Phoenix (116 Degrees Just Set A New Record), the Associated Press Reports:
About 2,000 Inmates Living In A Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment At The Maricopa County Jail Have Been Given Permission To Strip Down To Their Government-Issued
Pink Boxer Shorts.
On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached
138 Degrees Inside The Week Before.
Many Were Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels As Sweat Collected On Their Chests And Dripped Down To Their PINK SOCKS.
'It Feels Like We Are In A Furnace,' Said James Zanzot, An Inmate Who Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year. 'It's Inhumane.'
Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: 'It's 120 Degrees In Iraq And Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too, And They Have To Wear Full Battle Gear,
But They Didn't Commit Any Crimes,So Shut Your Mouths!'
Way To Go, Sheriff!
Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders. Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.
# # #
WOULDN'T YOU THINK THAT IF A COUPLE OF HUNDRED PEOPLE OF ONE RACE ATTACKED PEOPLE OF ANOTHER RACE THAT THIS WOULD BE BIG NEWS?
Well, it is big news. Drudge and The Blaze reported it fully. We linked to Drudge's reports (see below).
The Huffington Post, as far as we can tell, failed to report it or maybe has it hidden someplace on their site. Wonder why? More than likely it's because the attackers were all Black and their victims were all White. Liberals don't want you to know the truth about attacks on Whites.

THIS IS A PHOTO OF SANDY GENIS
[We're not sure what she's doing in the photo, but it looks to us like she may have just jumped in front of the podium and may be saying "Booga, booga," to the Council.]
Genis used to be Mayor of Costa Mesa. That was a long time ago. Genis is not a friend of real improvement. She's a lib.
She now shows up at City Council meetings and can often be seen flitting up to the podium like a bizarre hummingbird, screeching some nitpicky and disjointed comments and then flitting back to her seat.
Last week, she flitted over to the Huntington Beach City Council meeting to chirp to the folks over there that they shouldn't share services with Costa Mesa. (See a comment from a reader below about this.)
During the last election cycle, she helped start Costa Mesa First. That was a group (if you can call a couple of people a group) that took in money from the unions and used that money to print up literature and signs for Wendy Leece and Chris McEvoy in an attempt to keep Jim Righeimer from being elected.

The Citizens of Fullerton Are Going To Pay Dearly Because of the Actions of Some of Their Cops
Folks, the way our system works is that if a police department has some bad cops and if those bad cops do bad things and if they're caught, there are usually major law suits against the city where they work. And, there should be major law suits against such cities.
It is the responsibility of cities to make sure they're not putting bad cops on the street. If they fail to do their duty to keep such bad cops on the street, then they may end up on the wrong end of negligence law suits.
How does a city find bad cops? It gives psychological tests. It looks at complaint reports. It does other things. Is this a lot of work? Sure it is. But, when you give people guns, uniforms and badges and send them out on the streets, you'd better be damn sure they're the right kind of people. You'd better be sure they don't have some personal agenda or biases that color what they're doing. You'd better be sure they're not liars.
So, eventually, the City of Fullerton (read the citizens) are going to pay out millions of dollars because of the beating death of Kelly Thomas. And, this is exactly as it should be. Only when a city gets really hurt financially, will it usually act to do what it should have done before cops hurt someone.
You say this isn't fair to the citizens of Fullerton? Well, it actually is. You see, the citizens elect the people who hire the people who hire the cops. The buck has to stop somewhere and it has to stop before innocent people are hurt. It is up to the citizens to elect the right people and to speak out about police abuse instead of remaining silent.
Yes, this boils down to individual responsibility. It boils down to citizens being responsible.
And, this doesn't just apply to Fullerton. It also applies to our own Costa Mesa. Have you seen any police abuse--maybe small things, but things that may lead to bigger problems later? Have you spoken out, or have you remained silent?
Let's not have any Kelly Thomas beatings in Costa Mesa. If you see something, speak out.

Hundreds of Blacks Beat Whites At Wisconsin State Fair
As usual, Whites afraid to defend themselves for fear of being called racists.
If you think the above is a rare incident, you'd better, for your own safety, start reading between the lines in the many reports of "youths" and "teens" attacking innocent people. These youths and teens are usually Black and the victims are usually White.
And, while you're getting your consciousness raised, you might start telling the diversity is our strength kumbaya fools to take a hike. They're enabling these attacks.

THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING WAS ONE OF THE BEST IN RECENT MEMORY
We've been reading comments in the Daily Pilot from the usual ignorant haters and bigots who are bemoaning the last City Council meeting and claiming it was horrible.
Yeah, it was horrible for the lefty haters and bigots.
What happened was that the four good City Councilmembers all spoke out against the haters and bigots and spoke in favor of the citizens of this city.
Instead of just sitting there like lumps on a log and taking the stupid abuse from the numbnut lefties, the four good Councilmembers spoke up and put the creeps in their place--which is under a rock with the other loathsome creatures afraid of the light of day.
Folks, if you haven't yet figured out that what is going on in Costa Mesa is a power struggle between the old dinosaur lefties who have run this city into the ground for years, and the New Council supported by the good, decent citizens of this city who want a nicer Costa Mesa, then you should pay more attention to what's going on.
This isn't a battle between a City Council that wants to throw city workers out on the street, and the little people of Costa Mesa. It's just the opposite. It's a battle between the four good Councilmembers and the big unions and out of town employees who want to keep picking your pockets and who are against any real improvement in Costa Mesa.
Look at all the scumbag comments in the Daily Pilot from anonymous cowards. Many sound like employees. Well, as we've written before, 82 per cent of Costa Mesa's employees don't even live in Costa Mesa. Yes, that's a correct figure. We got it via a public records act request.
And, as we've written before, some employees live in Temecula and Oceanside and other far away places. Do you think they care about the quality of life of us and our families? Of course they don't. Their hearts, and their families are far away. These people aren't part of our community. They're not part of Costa Mesa.
They don't spend their money or their time here.

Open Letter from a Fullerton Councilwoman Calling for Fullerton's Police Chief to Resign
Since Chief Sellers was one of the people who secretly helped Costa Mesa pick our new police chief, one hopes that if Sellers does lack leadership abilities, that he didn't pick our chief for those same qualities.
Folks, there are problems in the CMPD that have to be corrected, and we're hopeful that Costa Mesa's new police chief can do the job. But, there are some qualms out here on the streets of Costa Mesa since the new chief has been praised by some lefties in the city. One know-nothing, cowardly critic of the good City Councilmen even claims he's a friend of the new chief.
In addition, some citizens of Costa Mesa continue to talk about a small clique or police gang within the CMPD that has its own left wing political agenda.
While we don't have horrific stories like the Kelly Thomas beating death in Fullerton to point to, we can point to "little murders" committed by some CMPD officers. Things such as little lies. The stink-eye incident. The attempt to smear Jim Righeimer.
We previously reported on one incident [HERE] that we know about very well because we were involved.
Those are our opinions. Thanks for reading them.
HERE'S the Reuters report on the attacks on Whites by hundreds of Blacks. Notice what's missing?
Right. There's no mention that the attackers were all Black and the innocent victims, including people pulled out of their cars, were all Whites.

We previously reported on one incident [HERE] that we know about very well because we were involved.
It was no big deal in the bigger picture and we didn't even receive a citation, but the cop pulled us over on a lie, attempted to intimidate us and wasted our time and then mumbled something about "not a conspiracy" completely out of the blue and with no prompting or comments to trigger it from us. This guy is still in the CMPD and has also been involved in some other strange things.
The point of our comments on this CMPD cop is that when cops engage in little lies, what comes next? Big lies? Planted evidence? Beatings? Using a CMPD tracking device to stalk a woman? Intimidation of Councilmembers? Using police resources to harass and intimidate law abiding citizens whose political views, religious views or social views are different from what the cop believes? Leaking internal information to political allies or hate groups?

MIAMI'S MAYOR ASKS FEDS TO INVESTIGATE CITY'S POLICE
# # #
FRIENDS FOR FULLERTON'S FUTURE SAYS THEY'VE FIGURED OUT THE NAMES OF FIVE OF THE SIX COPS INVOLVED IN THE KELLY THOMAS BEATING AND WILL SOON HAVE THE SIXTH NAME
The Fullerton Police Department has refused to release the names of the cops involved, but Friends For Fullerton's Future says they have five of the names. And, they give them in the link above.
The way the public can keep police departments from going rogue is to prevent them from using their usual tricks of saying they can't release information because of an "ongoing investigation," and by not releasing the names of cops involved in troubling incidents. Remove the secrecy and let the public see what the cops are doing and which cops are doing what.
You can bet the folks at FFF will now be demanding all the records on the cops they've named. Any past complaints of brutality, etc. will probably come to the surface very quickly now.

Bobby Young promoted to Costa Mesa finance director
[The Important thing to the CM PRESS in this news is that this is the second top level hiring of a person who actually lives in Costa Mesa. The other one is our new police chief. Improvers have long been active in trying to get the City to hire local people.]
Chief Executive Officer Tom Hatch today promoted Bobby Young, the City’s budget and research officer, to the position of finance director.
Young had been performing most of the duties of the finance director—including preparing the City’s annual budget and negotiating with employee associations—since September 2009, when the position was left vacant because of budget challenges.
“We’re very pleased Bobby accepted the position,” Hatch said. “He’s done excellent work for the City and earned respect both inside City Hall and in the community. We interviewed many quality candidates, but Bobby’s knowledge of the City and his track record of excellence made him my top choice.”
Young, a Costa Mesa resident, has worked in government finance for 15 years, starting as an auditor of local government and nonprofit agencies. He was hired by the City of Costa Mesa in 2001 as the accounting supervisor and was promoted in 2007 to budget and research officer.
In 2005, Young was named the City’s Employee of the Month for his contributions to revamping Costa Mesa’s annual audit and Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
He’s also involved in community organizations, serving currently chief financial officer and board member of Leadership Tomorrow, a local nonprofit, and often volunteering as a team leader for Neighbor for Neighbor events.
Young received a Bachelor of Arts degree in accounting from Cal State Fullerton. He and his wife, Kathleen, have two children.

"Please, please, God. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Dad, dad...." Then silence as 135 lb Kelly Thomas was beaten to death by cops in Fullerton. What was Kelly's crime? He was mentally ill. He couldn't understand what was happening to him. He was confused.
Every police department has to get rid of their comply-or-die, rogue cops and needs strong leadership to root out cops with psychological problems before they hurt someone.
Costa Mesa needs to do more in this regard.

Friends for Fullerton's future is pointing fingers at Fullerton Police Chief Michael Sellers in the Kelly Thomas beating death.
Sellers was one of the people who Costa Mesa recently used to pick a new police chief for our city. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Kelly Thomas Beating on CNN
Fullerton residents aren't letting the establisment sweep this under the rug. Calls are increasing to get rid of the entire Fullerton Police Department.
Every city has to get rid of its bad cops. When the citizens of a city no longer have faith and confidence in a police department, the city council of that city has to make major changes.

Wendy Leece is having a meeting with residents on the 15th. Click above for details.
 |
| Wendy showing sympathy. |
However, don't expect any real discussion or solutions about real problems in Costa Mesa. If you go, bring your hanky.
Let us explain.
By the way, don't write us with exceptions to what we write below. We know there are many. We know we're generalizing.
What do you, as a man, usually do when this happens? You try to help them solve their problems by suggesting alternative solutions.
What do the women do? They may get mad at you or cut off the conversation. This confuses you. That's because you're a man. You're not from Planet Touchy-Feely. But, read on and we'll teach you how to fake it.
Women don't usually want problem solving solutions. They want sympathy. They want you to just listen, nod your head with a concerned look on your face and say "tsk, tsk"at the proper moments and agree with them.
If you're smart and just shut up, and nod at the appropriate moments with a concerned look as we suggest, a woman may finish her story and thank you for all your help. In other words, you just thought like a woman. You didn't do anything. You didn't offer suggestions to solve her problem. You just kept your mouth shut and you showed sympathy. And, to her, that makes you a good man. Honest.
Our observations of Wendy tell us that she's like that. She'll listen to whatever people complain about. She'll nod her head. She'll show concern. She'll say "tsk, tsk." Then, nothing will get done to solve your problem.
Now, if you're a woman, you won't mind this. This is what you expected and wanted from Wendy.
If you're a man, you might start getting pissed off that Wendy doesn't solve any problems and seems to be on Planet Touchy-Feely instead of Planet Let's-Get-The-Job-Done-And-Fix-Costa Mesa.
If you're a man, you might start getting pissed off that Wendy doesn't solve any problems and seems to be on Planet Touchy-Feely instead of Planet Let's-Get-The-Job-Done-And-Fix-Costa Mesa.

FULLERTON COUNCILWOMAN DEMANDS THE RESIGNATION OF FULLERTON'S POLICE CHIEF OVER THE BEATING DEATH OF KELLY THOMASChief Michael Sellers, as we've previously reported, was one of the people who helped select the new police chief of Costa Mesa.
Note: We received the information on Sellers via a public records act request that we filed with Costa Mesa. See CM PRESS # 573 [HERE] for a complete list of the people who helped Costa Mesa choose a new police chief.

THE POWER STRUGGLE IN COSTA MESA CONTINUES
- Will the out of towners and their lefty boot lickers be able to keep the status quo?
- These are the folks who think the Westside is fine just like it is.
- They welcome illegal aliens as part of the "community."
- They want bigger government.
- They want citizens to pay more for services than we have to pay.
- They want to keep making some charity bosses rich as these charity bosses play the role of Mother Teresa (while showing up at meetings to ask for money in their new luxury cars).
- They want our government to continue paying 80% of money received to employees.
Be sure to check the comments after just about any article in the Daily Pilot to read what some of these out of town haters and bigots have to say. As a citizen of Costa Mesa, you are one of the bosses of this city. Are you pleased that so many of your out of town employees are so arrogant and hateful? Are these the types of employees you want working for you?

CITY COUNCIL TELLS STAFF TO BRING BACK A REPORT ON E-VERIFY
Costa Mesa moved a step forward to using E-Verify in the city last night after the City Council told staff to look into the program and come back with a report and recommendation.
In other Council business, the Council gave the nod to a developer who wants to build four residential lofts
on the corner of Wallace Ave. and 20th Street. This is the type of development that Westside Improvers have been calling for. Hopefully, this developer will now also try to find land on the bluffs where he can build similar lofts.

Costa Mesa Cops Looking For Two Invisible Robbers In Costa Mesa--We look into our probability Crystal Ball
------------------------
UPDATE 2: We just got in from the City Council meeting and there was an press release from the CMPD saying the suspects are possibly Hispanic. Of course, by this time the suspects have already been arrested.
---------------------------
UPDATE: The Perps were stopped and arrested by Huntington Beach cops. Now we may never learn their race/ethnicity. But if we do, we'll stay true to our promise and let you know if we were right or not. (For Ms. Leece: "Stay true to our promise," is what some of us do.)
------------------------
We searched the Daily Pilot, the OC Register and the Los Angeles Times and, as of this writing, not one had a description of the perps. This leads us to believe that the CMPD did not release a description. This further leads us to believe that the perps may be Black.
You see, there seems to be a pecking order at the CMPD. If suspects are White, they are almost always identified by race/ethnicity. If they are Hispanic, lately they are sometimes identified by race/ethnicity. If they are Black, they are almost never identified by race/ethnicity.
If the race/ethnicity of the perps is finally revealed we'll let you know if we're right or not.

POWER STRUGGLE IN COSTA MESA
Which side are you on?
--Are you for not paying more for services than you have to?
--Are you for improving Costa Mesa?
--Are you against out of town people running our city?
--Are you against out of town employees and other out of town interests buying City Council members to do their bidding and to keep giving them higher pay and more benefits?
If so, then you're on the side of the good decent citizens of Costa Mesa who want to take back control of our own government from out of towers and their local boot lickers.

BAKER COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION? HUH?
In The Briefing, put out by the Costa Mesa Police Officers' Association, which we commented on earlier, we read: "Halecrest/Hall of Fame Community and the Baker Community Association invite all communities of Costa Mesa for a National Night Out.
We focus on those two sections that we put in bold type above.
Baker Community Association? Actually, it's called "Unidos en Baker Community Association." Here's their facebook page LINK.
Now, why didn't the Costa Mesa Police Officers' Association put the Spanish part of the group's name in The Briefing?
And, when they refer to "all communities," who do you think they have in mind?
Do you think some citizens may be overly cynical if they are asking if this is an invitation to illegal aliens to come schmooze with Costa Mesa cops, and are these citizens out of line if they wonder if they are paying the cops to attend these PR events (there are several around the city), and maybe even paying overtime?
And, given the power struggle that is going on in this city, might some suspect that these PR events are being used by lefties and some cops to try to gain support against the legal citizens of this city and the City Council?

Folks, we're hearing more and more ordinary citizens of Costa Mesa saying that while we have many good cops in the CMPD, the department's prevailing internal culture may be so far into the us vs. them column that it's time to have the Sheriff take over the policing of our city.
That's what happened up in Compton. The City Council disbanded the police department and contracted with the Sheriff.
We're now seeing similar calls from citizens of Fullerton who are saying that city should disband its police department and hire the Sheriff to police the city. These calls in Fullerton are getting louder and louder as more information about the Kelly Thomas beating death and alleged coverups in the Fullerton Police Department come to light (see The Return Of The Informant, below ).

THE RETURN OF THE INFORMANT# # #
This is Jason Chamness, the President of the Costa Mesa Police Officer's AssociationIn the inaugural issue of The Briefing, Mr. Chamness (who doesn't live in Costa Mesa) writes that his association "has been dedicated to partnering with you...in order to create an atmosphere of safety and security for all of our families."
Our families? Our families live in Costa Mesa.
Because Mr. Chamness is one of the 82% of Costa Mesa's City employees who don't live in Costa Mesa, he can't vote here.
Folks, police officers are City employees. They are not elected. They do not run this city. We have an elected City Council that represents us.
But, you know what's really happening in Costa Mesa.
There is a power struggle raging in this city.
The power struggle is between the citizens of Costa Mesa and their elected representatives on one side and some out of town City employees, their various unions and some big government local lefties on the other side.
Some City employees want to control Costa Mesa. It's a profitable thing to do. If you elect your pals to the City Council you can easily have them increase salaries and benefits for you.
If you don't see this power struggle and if you can't see PR attempts by some employees as a way to go around the City Council and endear themselves to citizens prior to the next election, then you should start paying more attention.
It is the citizens of Costa Mesa who are the bosses. We run this city. We do it by electing people to the City Council who will help the City improve and be the place where we want to live and raise our families.
Out of town employees should not be involved in our local politics.
The election of 2012 has already begun, and you're going to see more stories planted in the local papers about City employees rescuing cats from trees, finding lost dogs, helping "our kids," and similar things.
Don't be fooled. When you see puff pieces in the paper, they're usually planted there by PR people who feed the stories to any reporters who will play ball.
It is the four good Councilmembers who are on your side and who are trying to improve Costa Mesa and get you the most bang for your tax buck.

OUT OF TOWN COPS NOW RUNNING THE CITY AND DOING THEIR OWN PR?
We just got a puff piece leaflet in the mail put out by the Costa Mesa Police Officers' Association.
You may recall some of these out of towners and their A-Frame sign on a trailer being pulled behind a Cadillac Escalade before the last election.
So, what's with the Cops now doing their own PR? Isn't the CMPD still part of Costa Mesa's City government?

Polygamist Leader Says God Wants Judge Removed From His Case
I'd be a little careful in claiming to know what the Big Guy In the Sky wants--remember those predictions that the Earth was going to end? We're still here.
And, also remember In God We Trust Wendy Leece's predictions of doom for Costa Mesa over the 4th of July? The 4th was actually pretty quiet. Now, to be accurate, we don't think Wendy mentioned God when she made her predictions, but, well....
# # #
THIS GUY COULD REALLY SAY THAT INSIDE HE FEELS LIKE A WOMAN

No word on whether the out of town union now has its out of town gumshoe getting ready to interrogate the Costa Mesa kids.
Say, did we mention that according to the City's own data base 82% of Costa Mesa employees don't even live in Costa Mesa?
So for the low I.Q. haters and bigots who keep trying to smear the good Councilmembers, let's help you with the math on this one. For every 100 employees being paid by the citizens of Costa Mesa, 82 don't choose to live here and only 18 do.
Or in very general terms, for every hundred bucks we pay to employees in salaries, $ 82 goes home to other cities and only $ 18 stays here to help make Costa Mesa a nicer city.
And, did you know that some Costa Mesa employees live in Temecula, Oceanside, San Marcos and other far away places?
