Entertainers and politicians are often cited as saying there is no such thing as bad publicity. However, former Fullerton City Manager Joe Burt Felz is not a professional politician or entertainer, although his political machinations and his alcohol-induced behavior have been cause for entertainment. You will certainly recall Felz’s now infamous “Wild Ride” in which […]
Strange But True
Hope Springs Eternal
There is a certain personality profile that is so narcissistic that it can’t conceive of the reality enjoyed by others. And that sobriquet must certainly apply to Paulette Marshall, the erstwhile candidate for County Board of Education who was so thoroughly trounced at the March 3rd election that she came in 5000 votes behind a […]
Say Goodnight Paulette
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 […]
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 […]
What Is The Fullerton Gazette? All Indications Are of Another Chaffee Scam
FFFF recently received an e-mail from something calling itself The Fullerton Gazette. The document touted a list of recommendations for the March Primary ballot yet contained no FPPC number and no political action committee name. Hmm. There among the recommendations was convicted trespasser and thief, Paulette Marshall for OC Board of Education. A quick trip […]
Pilferin’ Paulette Gets Rung Up
Normally a race for the county Board of Education would cause no excitement – not even a blip on the local political radar screen. This year is different in our district election because one of the candidates is the unspeakably dishonest Paulette Marshall Chaffee who was busted just a year ago faking an address to […]
Before and After….
Let’s make it easy. Here is the official CUP application blank form with the official city seal: And now, for comparison, the form submitted to the City by scofflaw Mr. Joe Florentine, and cheerfully processed by the planning department staff: I don’t know about you, but if I were a city bureaucrat, I’d looks askance […]
Florentine Mob Steps in Pile of Own Excrement. Again.
According to Voice of OC, our old pals the Florentines, pere et fil, are at it again. This clan of scofflaws has a long history of violating Fullerton’s municipal code so it should be no surprise to learn about their most recent hi-jinks. Apart from rumors of arson and arboricide, FFFF readers have been treated […]
Where’s Whitaker?
It seems Fullerton has a new problem. According to Councilmember Bruce Whitaker, the City Attorney lied when he publicly proclaimed last Tuesday that the City Council voted 5-0 in September to initiate legal action against Joshua Ferguson, David Curlee, FFFF, and a bunch of Does to be named later. Here’s how it is described by […]
Fullerton v FFFF in the News
Today we were Front Page, Above the Fold in the Sunday edition of the Orange County Register [HERE]. The article was good overall and addressed many of the issues surrounding the ludicrous case the City has lodged against us. This comes on the heals of several articles which have been written by The Voice of […]
Erection Dysfunction
If someone takes the time to review the history of Fullerton over the past forty years, one thing becomes shockingly clear: when it comes to building things, maintaining things and planning for things, the City government just can’t do much of anything right. And yet over this long history, the City and the public […]
More Nepotism at the Fullerton Police Department
We found an interesting aside to the Officer Brian Hagopian file that was released under SB1421. The file includes, as part of the investigation, a memo written from “Sergeart [Redacted]” talking about his wife, Officer [Redacted]. We know from our previous writing on Officer Hagopian regarding his (still?) outstanding arrest warrant in Riverside county […]
What Else Happened to Sergeant Jeff Corbett?
This blog revealed the other day that according to former Fullerton PD Sergeant Corbett, he essentially let former City Manager Joe Felz skate on DUI/Hit-and-Run charges because the former Police Chief Dan Hughes told him to just run a “physical assessment.“ Did Corbett think that Hughes would cover for him and have his back? We have […]
Fullerton Police Cut a Deal to Bypass the Law
As hinted yesterday, we received an anonymous piece of correspondence with a copy of the separation agreement between “Lieutenant” Kathryn Hamel and the City of Fullerton. It is quite an interesting read. We aren’t the only outlet to receive this so we’re curious to see what coverage, if any, this receives in the press. From […]
Tedious Tuesday
Great Glow in the Dark Jebus! In America, any boy can grow up to be…
A Question from Podunk
Those of us in the cheap seats out in Podunk have noticed something odd and can’t quite figure it out and we’re hoping that some of you friends have some answers. The problem is that Joe Florentine operates a night club in clear violation of the Fullerton Municipal Code and possibly CA Law if not […]
Flory’s Indecent Exposure
When Jan Flory came back to council she extolled her virtue of no scandals – and then her son Mike clearly decided – Challenge Accepted. We really don’t want to write about this issue but it’s one which points to a pattern of problematic behavior that needs to be addressed. A pattern of behavior by […]
Fullerton’s Version of Transparency
I’m not going to wax poetic or waste time building a narrative or telling a story today. Today I just want to lay out a simple example on how Fullerton deals with transparency. On Wednesday, 16 November 2016 at about 9:00 PM, a Fullerton Parks and Recreation vehicle collided with another car at the intersection […]
Hendricks Already Up for a New Gig
Former Fullerton Police Chief David Hendricks is already up for a new gig at Mt. Sac. He’s apparently a finalist for the job of Mt. Sac Police Chief. You have to love that description and what it omits. “A long history at the Long Beach Police Department.” And a short history in Fullerton. That ended […]
Oops, Did She Do It Again?!
In case you missed it, Paulette Marshall Chaffee looks to have been caught on video stealing signs from private property in her pretend district while illegally parked in a red zone because if one rule doesn’t apply to her – why should any amiright? But Oops. It looks like she did it again. Is it […]
