Now that the Fullerton City Council has shuttered the museum for the rest of 2020 in order to pay the cops more… in the middle of a national discussion on police mind you… what are we to do for art & culture in Fullerton? Is this why they boarded up City Hall this weekend? Are […]
There was a protest today in Fullerton, like many cities around the country, sparked by the George Floyd murder in Minneapolis. People are justifiably angry about the actions of the officers involved who killed Mr. Floyd. This blog has long stood against police misconduct and abuses of authority from the Pre-Kelly Thomas days to my […]
Fullerton just “separated from employment” 150+ non-union part-time staff. Why? Because despite years of Mayor Jennifer Fitzgerald’s lies about a “Balanced Budget” and our mythical reserve fund – we had no plan for a rainy day. During meetings, myself, David and others warned the City Council that a downturn was likely in the future and […]
Anti Measure K activist Tony Bushala has lodged a formal request to OC District Attorney Todd Spitzer to investigate whether Fullerton Joint Union High School personnel illegally campaigned for the March 3rd bond effort. According to State law, it is impermissible to expend public resources on behalf of an election. It’s a crime. Public agencies […]
Twice now the City of Fullerton has managed to baffle a judge with bullshit and get the judge to issue a prior restraint against myself, David and this blog stopping us from publishing “secret city hall documents”. Twice now the city has boasted of their win only to be slapped down by the CA Appellate […]

You will certainly recall Felz’s now infamous “Wild Ride” in which […]
Yesterday a lot of chickens fluttered home to roost for sign thief and fake carpetbagger Paulette Marshall Chaffee. After spending hundreds of thousands of bucks for a part time job on the county’s Board of Education, she was defeated, and defeated badly. The job goes to La Habra’s Tim Shaw, another candidate who unloaded a […]
I just took a quick tour of the required Form 460 campaign documents for the “committee” that is pushing for the $190,000,000 Fullerton Elementary School Bond measure on next Tuesday’s ballot. Sure enough, Schedule A, the contributor list for mid-January to mid-February was studded with district contractors, architects and other commercial hangers-on whose livelihood depends […]
As you may have seen Paulette Chaffee got the much coveted endorsement of the “Fullerton Gazette“, a mysterious little rag that until her specific endorsement nobody knew existed. Well, after a little internet sleuthing I discovered why there is no byline to their articles and no names associated with their masthead. It turns out that […]
According to The Fullerton Observer, North Orange County Community College District trustee, Molly McClanahan has pulled the plug on her career as an alleged overseer of the bureaucracy at the local junior colleges. Her seat will remain vacant until the November election, a rather telling sign of how critical the job is. Of course Molly […]
