Former Mayor Clesceri does a walk & talk at a Chamber of Commerce/State of City Luncheon, of course sponsored by the City of Fullerton
What associations and organizations does the City of Fullerton support financially that should be cut before cutting a librarian, a police officer or a life guard? How much money does the city spend every year on contracts with lobbyists?
- Townsend Public Affairs
- Smith Dawson & Andrews
- Strategic Solutions
- Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee
one for you, the rest for me
Isn’t it time to examine some of these relationships and analyze their effectiveness?

The State is broke. Why would the city be paying for a lobbyist now?
What does Strategic Solutions have to do with Fullerton? The web site does not mention Fullerton as a client.

Willis, Item #15. I have no idea what they were hired to do.

Admin, those contracts were authorized 5 years ago. Do you mean to tell me that they are still in place? If so who is renewing them?

Interesting. I interviewed Mike Clesceri back when he was Mayor Pro Tem.

Who gave the shoeshine a boy a microphone?

Hmmm. Clesceri . . . recipient of a public employee retirement system permanent disability award at thirty nine years of age . . . resulting in a tax exempt pension which will likely be paid out for many more years than he was employed. Are these costs part of the “services” we taxpayers supposedly demand?
