Back in December, in his first at-bat, Ahmad Zahra surprised me by speaking of the Constitution and transparency whilst simultaneously voting against FitzSilva in their attempt to appoint Jan Flory to Council. Zahra was on fire with gems such as: “My decision is going to be contingent upon us making sure that the appointment process […]

Is the Flory Rumor True?
Rumor has it that former councilwoman Jan Flory is lobbying to become the appointee to our City Council tonight and has already secured both Jennifer Fitzgerald and Jesus Silva’s votes. This is the same Jan Flory who voted, with Jennifer Fitzgerald and Doug Chaffee, on multiple unbalanced budgets and who helped lead us into our […]
A New Council Member on Tuesday?
The agenda is online (HERE) for next Tuesday’s council meeting and the one major item of note, item #3, is the possible appointment of a council member to fill out the remainder of Jesus Silva’s abandoned at-large seat. Item 3 States: 3. On December 4, 2018, Council Member Silva was sworn in as the District […]
PAULETTE MARSHALL CHAFFEE CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF THEFT
Today the Orange County District Attorney’s office announced it had filed two charges of petty theft against former Fullerton Mayor and Supervisor-Elect Doug Chaffee’s wife, Paulette Marshall Chaffee. Paulette was last seen receiving a bouquet of flowers at City Hall from Councilwoman Jennifer Fitzgerald. Pilfering Paulette has her arraignment scheduled for December 18th at 8:30AM. […]
A New-ish Council This Way Comes
Tonight Doug Chaffee and Greg Sebourn leave the Fullerton City Council and Ahmad Zahra gets sworn in to be the first to represent District 5 on the dais. This wouldn’t be Fullerton if that’s all that was happening tonight – a simple transition of (some) power – but true to form our current Mayor (for […]
Chaffee’s Last Crony Grasp on Council
Just when I was preparing to see a new chapter of shenanigans in Fullerton coming from our new council, instead from the realm of ARE YOU F^&$&ING KIDDING ME comes Doug Chaffee trying to slap Fullerton with one more bit of cronyism before he leaves to play at the county level. Less than two short weeks […]
Paulette Chaffee’s Silence Could Cost Taxpayers
If Paulette Marshall Chaffee receives the most votes in the District 5 Election on 06 November – will she resign the office or allow herself to be sworn in? It’s not a tough question but Mrs. Chaffee has refused to talk to anybody or answer any questions. I emailed both campaigns asking for comment before […]
Election Meddling – Silva’s $400,000 Arrogance
Make taxpayers shell out $400,000 or meddle in an ongoing election. Pick one. That’s the quandary in front of our city council tonight in the form of agenda item 4: 4. FULLERTON MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT REGARDING CITY COUNCIL VACANCIES Consideration of an ordinance to repeal Fullerton Municipal Code Section 2.02.020 and follow procedure for filling City Council […]
Paulette’s Betrayal
Here’s one of the more curious pieces of mail we’ve seen in town. Check out what landed in a friend’s mailbox in District 5 over the weekend: According an October 8th 2018 e-mail from the Chaffee campaign to supporters and the Fullerton Observer, Mrs. Chaffee suspended her campaign. If she suspended her campaign on the […]
Chaffee Has Impeccable Timing
We here at FFF have been following the news of Paulette Chaffee’s sign stealing shenanigans. We’ve also been wondering where Mayor Doug Chaffee has been this whole time considering he’s yet to issue a single word to the public. Then today this hit a friend’s mailbox. I wonder how many of these people still stand […]
Is Doug Chaffee Under Investigation?
Fullerton can be a funny town with funny stories. Earlier this week, we asked you to consider a version of Fullerton where Doug (Chaffee), (Acting Chief) Dunn & (City Manager) Domer had come to an agreement. That agreement included a plan to protect Pilfering Paulette Marshall Chaffee and to minimize damage to Mayor Doug Chaffee’s […]
Paulette Chaffee Under DA Investigation
Good luck getting any followup before the election as Tony Rackauckas is more worried about Todd Spitzer than doing his job.
A Formal Request to DA Rackauckas
We received this in the mail and thought we should share it in case people think that the issue of Paulette Chaffee’s pilfering and FPD’s obvious conflict of interest isn’t be followed up in every possible way. Letter to DA Tony Rackauckas
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 […]
City Lies While Attempting Hostile Takeover of Library
Odds are that the Fullerton City Council will vote tonight to fire the Library Board and replace it with themselves in a cynical attempt to steal property to offset some Police & Fire Pensions. Fitzgerald wants to do it, Chaffee wants to do it and it likely won’t take much effort to convince Silva to […]
Where’s Doug Chaffee?
Had anyone seen Fullerton Mayor Doug Chaffee? Last we heard, Doug “expected to be briefed” about why Fullerton’s $400,000 a year Chief of Police had been placed on leave. That was days ago. Still no word on what was so significant that we lost our top cop without a public hearing, without a public notice, […]
Chaffees Buying His and Hers Campaigns
I’m not sure what’s funnier, that Doug Chaffee is hiring canvassers to beat Tim Shaw in the top-two general election race or that he and his wife are spending an equal amount of money to help her buy a seat in District 5 in Fullerton. It’s going to be hilarious to see how much money […]
Motivational Speakers
They say every day brings new choices. Here’s another poor choice from Doug Chaffee.
Happy Felziversary
One year ago today I wrote my first piece for this site, Friends for Fullerton’s Future. It was on the tail end of my lackluster city council bid when I was approached to join the site. I was asked to keep up the writing that I was doing during my campaign but here instead of […]
It Was the Fullerton Hunger Games
And the Odds Were Not in District Three’s Favor Do not be fooled; Fullerton had it’s first Quarter Quell on Tuesday and Councilman Greg Sebourn was put up as Tribute and didn’t make it out of the games alive. Somewhere a canon is being fired in his honor. The vote was all about self-interest and […]
