But the problem is that everything she says is a lie. Don’t believe me? Then read this self-satisfied “I’m Done” statement sent out this AM. First let’s celebrate this announcement, if actually true. It means everybody’s life is going to get better in Fullerton as the sticky webs of self-interest entangling Fitzgerald and the taxpayers […]
Corruption
Is Fitzgerald Out?
Rumor is circulating that our Mayor-for-Hire, lobbyist Jennifer Fitzgerald isn’t going to be running for election to represent District 1 in Fullerton this fall. Good news, indeed, if true, for those who care about honest, competent government. But is it true? No pronouncements have been forthcoming from the woman herself which suggests that the rumor […]
Fullerton’s New Art Exhibit?
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 […]
The Cost of Suing Us
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 […]
The “Fullerton Gazette” Chaffee Scam Explained
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 […]
Encouraging Children to Break the Law – That’s the Troy Difference!
Let’s start with Exhibit A. California Education Code, Section 7054(a) which states in pertinent part: No school district or community college district funds, services, supplies, or equipment shall be used for the purpose of urging the support or defeat of any ballot measure or candidate, including, but not limited to, any candidate for election to […]
Courtroom Showdown!
This week FFFF and local hero Joshua Ferguson do battle in a courtroom with the defenders of incompetence and opacity – the City of Fullerton, represented by in incomparably stupid and corrupt law firm Jones and Mayer. The Voice of OC outlines the details here, so I’ll let it go at that, other than to […]
Phriday Photo Phun – Early Edition
I don’t know about you humans, but I always find it amusing when a politician tries to look good on campaign material, but ends up really looking funny. My former neighbor, Paulette Marshall is pretending to be a school teacher to run for County School Board. Actually she was just a typical bad local lawyer […]
Our New Mayor
Our esteemed City Council appointed lobbyist-councilcreature Jennifer Fitzgerald to be the new mayor a couple weeks ago. Supposedly it’s her turn again. How and why Jan Flory was appointed Mayor Pro Tem is anybody’s guess, especially since Bruce Whitaker and Ahmad Zahra have been on the council longer without appointment – supposedly the criterion for […]
Fullerton’s Veritable Serpico Problem
Fullerton, like most departments, has a problem reminiscent of Serpico and this problem is years in the making. This problem is part of the story of the sordid “Culture of Corruption” that was documented after the Kelly Thomas beating. This veritable Serpico problem is a cancer within the system where once in uniform even good […]
