Shana Charles Spins Around, Goes Nowhere

As close to a somersault as we could find…

Shana Charles has flipped her stance on noise regulations. I wrote about it, here the other day.

Previously, the councilwoman proposed a 10pm cutoff on amplified music with an 11pm cutoff on weekends. This is an ideal solution, as it supports residents’ needs for peace and quiet while still recognizing the importance of nightlife to the city’s “vibe.” However, Mayor Pro-Tem Charles has renounced her previous stance and instead, her recent vote indicates that she now stands behind louder music and promotes the disruption of residents.

Shana has failed to side with the reasonable ordinance that would benefit both residents and businesses. Her stance seems to favor only the business side, ignoring the needs of the residents who deserve a quiet environment, especially during late hours. The lack of respect for all of us who live here undermines trust in our local government and shows a disregard in our community’s well being.

Once again, an elected in Fullerton has flip-flopped. Big surprise.

Obviously, Shana doesn’t live near the loud music. The amplified music is constantly disrupting our sleep, even on weeknights when rest is necessary for school and work. This inconvenience is impossible to get used to and negatively impacts our focus, energy, and overall lifestyle. It never seems to quiet and is a constant headache to all of those who are affected.

Shana’s decision was hypocritical and disrespectful to all residents. It just looked political. It’s frustrating to see those in charge act for political reasons rather than in the best interests of the community. Some councilpersons’ choices continue to show a lack of accountability and awareness of how their actions impact everyone else. Decisions like these create disappointment and distrust, making it harder for residents to believe that those leading Fullerton truly care about the people they represent.

We need to hold Mayor Pro-Tem Charles accountable for her actions and recognize what the city really needs, not what Charles wants.

  1. Queen of the Bungle went along with Zahra like she always does -even when it means a flip flop like her vote on the newspaper ban on City property.

  2. 2 residents who live downtown spoke on the noise limits at city council. Only 1 of them complained about the noise. That person writes here

    There’s no “need for peace and quiet”. When will you guys stop playing pretend?

    1. Downtown residents have been complaining to the city council about outdoor amplified music for years. Where have you been?

      Anyway, you lost.

    2. Who knows why Heroes was instructed by the City to close by 10:00 PM from Sunday to Thursday and by 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday when they were located on W. Wilshire in the Villa Del Sol, before moving to Santa Fe Ave.?

  3. This is more like it. Momentarily lapse in judgment for the buffoon. Wonder who called in the favor?
