IS COSTA MESA'S CITY GOVERNMENT GETTING TOO TOP HEAVY?

The CM PRESS has supported much of what the new Council is doing, but we do think City government is starting to get too top heavy and we also think the Council needs to put fixing the broken Westside as its top priority.

Or, to put this in other words, we think the new Council may be putting too much effort into outsourcing at the lower employment end while porking up at the top, and also may be putting too little effort into fixing the Westside.

And, speaking of this, I once did some consulting to a small manufacturing firm that was having some financial problems.  When I visited the factory, I gathered with the executives in the production office that overlooked the lathes that produced the products the firm made. 

There were 6 of us in the office looking out the window to the shop floor with the lathes.  There was only one machinist working to make the products.  Six of us watching and one working.  The company had plenty of orders for its products.  It had no raw material supply problems.  It just had too many paper pushers and not enough workers.  We changed that.

Maybe it's time for the new Council to make some mid-course corrections to its trajectory.

CRISSY BROOKS AND THE SCHOLARSHIPS THAT MAY GO MAINLY TO HISPANICS

In the above column, Crissy-it's-all-about-Hispanics-Brooks, the daughter of Dave Brooks, the president of the Newport Mesa Unified School district and a pastor to the CMPD,* tells us that the scholarships given out by SOY are in danger for lack of funding.

What Brooks fails to tell readers is that those scholarships seem to be going almost exclusively to Hispanics.

If you're a poor White, say a single mother, your White kids probably wouldn't get one of those scholarships.

At least that's what we've gleaned from looking at the lists of those getting the scholarships over the past years.

Now, if we're mistaken, please give us the statistics on the race/ethnicity of those getting those scholarships.

THERE'S LOTS OF BUZZ ABOUT THE HIRING OF NEW ASST. CEO RICK FRANCIS

Some of the speculative threads of the buzz are these:

1. He was pursued by Tom Hatch to use as a foil against Righeimer, et. al.

2. He was pursued by Tom Hatch to help Righeimer, et. al.

3. He was hired to slight Peter Naghavi.

4. He was hired by the hidden hand of Righeimer or Mensinger.

5. He was hired by what some might characterize as a growing born again religious Mafia in local government. (See the "back off" subtle threat from a reader in CM PRESS # 711)

6. He simply saw a job opportunity and applied out of the blue.

7. He was hired by the hidden hand of Supervisor Moorlach.  (See Moorlach's email below. Note also that Francis was a pastor at the church attended by Moorlach.)

Rick Francis

Here's the email mentioned in # 7 above that Supervisor Moorlach sent around concerning the hiring of Rick Francis:

"The speculation around my Chief of Staff’s moving on to work for the city of Costa Mesa continues. The easy answer is that the city’s CEO (City Manager) pursued Rick Francis. We do a lot of work with the cities in the Second District. This is not the first time someone has tried to recruit him away. And, with the County’s budget limitations, I cannot make a financial counter to make Rick rethink the offer made by Costa Mesa.


"The fun answer is that I found Rick and molded and shaped him to be a robotic clone. I encouraged Tom Hatch to steal away my Chief of Staff in such a subtle way that Tom still thinks the idea was his own. I’ve been active in the city of Costa Mesa for nearly thirty years. With the network I’ve built I am slowly reshaping the composition of the city council and staff. I have numerous individuals placed in key positions. My well-orchestrated conspiracy has been working very well, albeit it has taken longer than originally planned. I’ve had defections, but they can be repaired by waiting a few years for the problems to work themselves out on their own. I’d love to share more about my covert activities, but giving away secrets that I’ve learned from my FBI, CIA and Secret Service training classes would be unprofessional. What I will disclose is that my role model is Simon, in the movie “True Lies,” played by Bill Paxton. (If you believe any of the content in this paragraph, then I have a sports car for sale that you may be interested in.)"

DOES COSTA MESA'S NEW ASST. CEO SOUND ARROGANT?

When we first read that Rick Francis had been hired by Tom Hatch as his Assistant CEO--leaping over hard working and long time city employee Peter Naghavi who had the job on an interim basis--we thought he sounded a little arrogant. 

But, we held off writing about it and thought maybe it was just the way the reporter (at the OC Register) had written the story.

Now, our spidey sense is giving us that same feeling from a different reporter and a different newspaper. Click on the headline above for this new story in the Daily Pilot and see what you think.

Adding to our feeling about this, is the comment below from Rich S., now appearing in the Daily Pilot. Rich S. is a frequent commenter over there and he constantly rails against the new Council.  Rich S. also seems to know Francis. 

In his praise of Francis, Rich S. fairly drips with hatred of Mayor Pro Tem Righeimer and seems to think (if we read between the lines a little) that Francis is going to counter Righeimer (and presumably the rest of the good Council).

Tell us what you think. 

"Rich S at 8:50 AM December 15, 2011

Congrats to Rick!. The city of CM is getting a first rate man. He is not a "yes" man or a power greedy man (he's 6'4", doesnt need to be LOL). He will stand up for the citizens and weigh all the issues with utmost wisdom! If we do go to a charter he is my nomination for Mayor. I hope he steps in on the Riggy charter and screws Riggy's head on straight to help Riggy understand that if the city goes in that direction that a commission is the only way to go."

NICE AP ARTICLE ON THE SUPREME COURT POSSIBLY TAKING UP THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE

Obama administration says only the Feds can enforce immigration laws.

States say the Feds aren't doing the job so the states will do it in their own states.

Thus do we come to a major issue concerning federal power vs. states rights.

When one goes down several levels from the laws themselves to basic principles of how our society functions, one comes to an axiom that grows out of principles of personal responsibility and self-reliance that we think applies here:

You always have the right to delegate your authority to do things for you to others but you can never delegate your responsibility.

In the present context, we would say that the states have delegated some of their authority to the feds to enforce immigration laws so the people of the states will be protected from illegal immigration and its many negative effects. 

However, the feds are not using the authority that has been delegated to them, so the states must be responsible and ensure their citizens are protected.

THIS IS PERRY VALENTINE

Valentine used to work for the City of Costa Mesa and was on staff back when we had a series of do-nothing City Councils that mostly rubber stamped whatever staff put in front of them.

Valentine is now retired from the City and has a nice pension.

He now seems to spend a lot of time complaining about the present do-something City Council. He's probably not used to seeing a Council that initiates and expects staff to implement.

You may recall that at one meeting several months ago, Valentine and some others said that Steve Mensinger should recuse himself from voting on a matter about youth sports because both Mensinger and his wife are involved in youth sports in the city.

You may also recall that the CM PRESS then went to the podium and said that Steve Mensinger should not recuse himself and that it's a good thing that he and his wife are so active in the city and that we hoped that they would remain active and not have to have Steve recuse himself just because he is so active in the city.

Frankly, if Mensinger had to recuse himself whenever something comes before the City Council that he might be involved in, he'd be recused most of the time.  This is absurd and would be like saying we have to have City Council people who are lumps of clay (like some prior City Councilmembers) or who live in other cities in order to not have them recuse themselves.

Mensinger, at the last City Council meeting, made a joke about this recusal nonsense when a matter concerning Target came up and he said that he might have to recuse himself because his wife shops a lot at Target.

Valentine's latest whine [HERE] that is running as a long  letter in the Daily Pilot, concerns the proposed charter for the city.  He says citizens should write it. His letter is followed by comments from the usual me-too characters who also constantly whine about the Council. 

Actually, and contrary to what Valentine and the me-tooers say, citizens can write the charter. 

Mayor Pro Tem Jim Righeimer came up with a draft of a charter and now citizens can comment on it and help mold it.  That is writing it. Righeimer just supplied a framework.

Had Righeimer not come up with a draft--a starting place--we'd be tied up in meetings with crackpots and cranks for several months as we had to listen to people who would want to put oil drilling rights and you name it in the charter.

Notwithstanding the above, the CM PRESS was also a little apprehensive about the charter that Righeimer wrote when we heard about it, so we took the time to read it (you can do the same thing on the City's website HERE). 

What Righeimer's draft does is give citizens of Costa Mesa local control of our government, but with the exact same form of government that we have now.  And, that's what the CM PRESS wanted to see in the charter.

We didn't want to see a strong mayor form of government.  And, that's not in the charter.

We wanted to see the same number of council members and all elected at large as at present.  That's also in the charter.

So, if there's not much changed, why have a charter at all?  It's all about local control.  It gives the citizens of Costa Mesa the ability to govern ourselves rather than being dictated to by Sacramento.

Ever live in an apartment building where the only thermostat was controlled by one person whose apartment was far removed from yours and whose comfort needs were different from your own? That's what we have now with Sacramento dictating to us.

OUR QUICK IMPRESSIONS OF THE GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND MORE BASED ON LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE AND OTHER FACTORS

Ron Paul--We like a lot of his positions, but can you imagine Barney Fife as President?  Most people can't.  That's his problem.  In another life he was a Chihuahua.

Michele Bachmann--Was standing on a platform last night to look as tall as the men. Confused.  Doesn't know how to punch out what she would do as President. Had a good line or two with "Newt Romney." Can't ever seem to get her hair right.

Rick Perry--Bowlegged, swaggering cowboy. Should be wearing chaps and running a cattle ranch someplace or doing a Marlboro commercial. Not very bright and can't think on his feet.

Rick Santorum--Always looks as though he wandered in by mistake from the Boy Scout Convention next door.

Mitt Romney--My smarmy meter started going off on this guy a long time ago. 

After the Mormons had another convenient what's happen' now revelation that Blacks should be allowed to hold the priesthood in the church, Romney said he pulled his car over to the side of the road in Cambridge, Mass. and began crying tears of joy. Ho hum.

In a previous debate, Romney tried to get a quick laugh by saying his first name really is "Mitt."  It's not.  His real first name is Willard.

At last night's debate, Romney said he had been a "pastor" in his church.  Actually, Mormons don't have pastors but he was apparently trying to pander to Christians from other denominations who respect those with the title or who wouldn't understand what his real position in the church was.

In a previous life, Romney was a wolf caught in the rain. Would be well cast as a senior vampire in one of those teeny, lovey dovey vampire movies that appeal to 13-year-old girls.

Newt Gingrich--A South Boston Irish politician who  never actually lived in Boston (Newt was born Newton Leroy McPherson. McPherson is common both in Ireland and Scotland).

I could write a book about why Newt's statement that the Palestinians are an invented people is silly, but let's just say that if you think about it, every people is an invented people.

Our view is that Newt's statement wasn't a slip of the tongue, but was calculated.  His strategy is apparently to pander for Jewish votes, praise and money. 

Newt's statement last week that he would appoint (warmonger) John Bolton as Secretary of State was also calculated to redound with Jewish voters.

His other major calculation is his amnesty plan. He thinks this will get him the Hispanic vote.

Newt is Napoleon the Pig in Animal Farm, and he'll write whatever is necessary on the barn wall to get his way. If he's elected President, expect to send your kids to a war in a foreign land that will be meaningless for America.

And about the two moderators...

George Stephanopoulos--Did a good hosting job. Asked quick questions and got out of the way. Has matured and has lost that quivering lower lip he used to have.

Diane Sawyer--Was she on go-slow drugs?  She wasted a lot of time by not being able to phrase a question quickly and then get out of the way.  She was boring and slowed down the debate and made it less dynamic.

We sent an email to ABC telling them they should lose her.

And about the debate camera work...

ABC did a good job in using two-shots of Romney and Gingrich to show reactions.

U.S. SUPREME COURT MEETING IN SECRET TO DECIDE IF THE COURT WILL DECIDE TO TAKE UP ARIZONA'S IMMIGRATION LAW

Court may let us know on Monday. 

Frankly, the Arizona law and its progeny springing up across the nation need to be ruled on by the Supreme Court.  There's just too much confusion and uncertainty all across the U.S. about illegal immigration.

This could be a landmark case.

And, if the Court does decide to take this up, it'll pretty much take this off the table during the presidential election.  This should help Newt Gingrich, if he's the GOP nominee. Gingrich, you may remember, is taking heat from those who want our borders secured and illegal aliens sent home.

If the Court takes this up, Gingrich can simply say he'll obey the law whatever it is, when decided by the Court.

Interestingly, Obama and his administration are urging the Court to not take the matter up. 

Hey, Supremos, remember how Obama disrespected you on national TV?  It's time for you to let Obama know that we have three branches of government and that he can't tell you what to do.

The race of the attackers isn't given.  That's the usual procedure when they're not White.  Read some of the comments and you'll see that some Chicago readers wonder aloud if the attackers are black and then as so often happens, one dimwit chimes in to say that this isn't about race and indicates that anyone who so speculates is a racist.  Ho hum.

Yes, it is about race.  When people of one race are the frequent victims of people of another race--in statistically significant ways--it damn well is about race and all such crimes whether they also involve robbery or some other cover crime should be treated like hate crimes.

If I Only Had A Brain

 DINGBAT LEFTY LEECE DOES IT AGAIN AND GETS CHECKMATED AGAIN

Costa Mesa has an emergency money account that is supposed to be maintained at a certain level.  The rules for the use of this money say that it is to be used for physical emergencies such as floods, fires and the like.

However, because prior City Councils have larded up the City government with too many employees who receive high salaries and king's ransom benefits, the City has had to steal from this account to pay its everyday expenses.

At last night's City Council meeting, Councilmember Bever pointed out the above and said the City has to stop stealing from this account.

No sooner had he said that than did smarmy, pandering, dingbat Wendy Leece (if only there really were a Wizard) smugly said that Costa Mesa along with many other cities has been going through a financial emergency and that's why the City was taking money from that account (picture Wendy with a smug expression at this point that says "Ha Ha Bever I gotcha and I wuv our employees and they're the bestest in the whole wiiiiiiiide world and we should slooooow down and ain't I just a swell Councilperson and so compassionate and, er, like a Queen appointed by Gawd sitting up here holding back you evil men.").

Bever then told Wendy to read the rules because they specifically say the money can't be used for financial problems.

Wendy then wisely shut up.

NEWPORT'S UNIFORMED EMPLOYEES NOW SOUND LIKE COSTA MESA'S UNIFORMED EMPLOYEES OVER PENSIONS

Read the above column and you'll get a sense that the cops and firefighters in Newport Beach who get outrageous pensions are now trying the same stale arguments to keep those pensions that are being used in Costa Mesa. 

It's early but it's already being hinted that Newporters better keep paying through the nose or the best cops and firefighters will go to some other city. Yawn.

Crime will rise. Yawn.

You owe us. Yawn.

You're anti-union. Yawn.

One wonders if Newport has a version of Wendy Leece on their city council who will say things such as:
"We have the best employees in the state."  "Our employees are like family."  "We should slow down. We're going too fast." [Those aren't direct quotes from Leece, but they sum up things she has said.]
