WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON OVER AT THE FULLERTON AIRPORT?
Here is the lawsuit:
Complaint_FAC_Exhibit_All
At the November 21, 2017 Fullerton Council meeting, Mike Blackstone, Joe Imbriano and myself spoke about the lawsuit and things related to it. Unfortunately both Mayor Bruce Whitaker and Council member Jennifer Fitzgerald behaved rudely and disrespectfully to the speakers.
Mike Blackstone, Barry Levinson and Joe Imbriano speak at the 11-21-17 Fullerton City council meeting as Air Combat USA filed a $500 million dollar lawsuit against the Fullerton airport manager, and the City of Fullerton alleging breach of contract and more.
While both Mr. Blackstone and myself were speaking on this subject during public comments, Council member Jennifer Fitzgerald saw fit to smirk and laugh throughout our presentations from the dais. What kind of an arrogant, contemptuous individual behaves in such a manner while representing the good people of Fullerton? Obviously the answer is one Jennifer Fitzgerald.
Next, Mayor Whitaker added to his many previous sins by not being truthful while both Mr. Blackstone and myself had the floor to speak to them. I spoke about the fact that Mike Blackstone of Air Combat USA, Inc., who between himself and his father spent the last 38 years being a tenant at the Fullerton Municipal Airport, met with Bruce Whitaker about the failure of the city to provide him a new lease for his business. When Mr. Blackstone did not receive any follow-up from our Mayor, he decided to attend the last Talk Around the Town that our Mayor holds monthly. You know the one that is advertised that the Mayor will answer the public’s questions about any matter concerning our city. Well Mayor Whitaker would not acknowledge Mr. Blackstone during his question and answer period although he had his hand up throughout that part of the event. So after being I believe intentionally ignored by our Mayor, he waited to the very end to approach the Mayor just to have a minute of two of his time. Mayor Whitaker brushed him off stating he had to leave immediately.
So what did Mayor Whitaker rudely do while I was speaking, he continuously shook his head “No” and mouthed words denying my comments. These poor excuses for elected representatives demand from us that we be respectful and follow their self-imposed rules but when it suits them they throw all the rules out the window.
Of course, the remainder of the city council ignored our comments as well. That would be Doug Chaffee, Greg Sebourn and Jesus Silva. I believe that all five council members know or at least at this time should know that the city has breached its contract with Mike Blackstone of Air Combat USA. And what do these corrupt moral midgets (and I am not referring to their height) do, they along with our new City Manager have placed an agenda item for the very next council meeting to change (I suspect expand) the zoning for the Fullerton Municipal Airport for one of the main antagonists against Air Combat USA who wants to take over their space at the airport. I am referring to a relatively new business at the Fullerton Municipal Airport, called Hanger 21 owned by La Habra Reserve Officer Robert Sims who works as a Reserve Officer in the Narcotics Unit of the La Habra Police Department.

Finally, since Mr. Blackstone reached out to Joe Imbriano and myself prior to filing his lawsuit against the city, I can state unequivocally that his case not only has merit but that he has the documented proof I believe necessary to prove his case before a judge or a jury.
I report, you decide-Barry Levinson

You all are trying to play hero and come to the rescue of poor little Mike Jr. That guy is a liar and a cheat. I was very close to his operation for years so I speak with personal experience. He talks of how his dad and he grew the business. Their relationship was nothing like he describes it. His father is looking down on him in complete disgust with the way he has treated employees and customers. He literally stole money from customers. What about the fact he completely destroyed the hangar before he moved out which will now cost the city money to repair. His little interview with the informer on YouTube is filled with lies. He said he offered 500% more but wouldn’t share the numbers. That is because he was paying ridiculously low rent to begin with. Also check his rfp and see if that is even true. I bet it’s not and was an act of desperation after the city told him to move out. Anyone can drive by the property and see he did nothing to maintain it at a decent level. The place was a dump while it was open! The least he could do is take care of it while paying ridiculously low rent. He built stuff inside without proper permits and he is trying to make himself out to be a hero to the community in all if this. Makes me sick. I get all of you looking in to issues in the city but it seems you have all taken him at his word and don’t spend near as much time fact checking the bs he feeds you as you do on others. He had a copy of his lease. Why is there any question as to what he needed to do? The burden is on him!! Read his lease!! If I was the city I wouldn’t want him as a tenant either! He has wronged so many people including his own family. Oh and the Airlines that he wouldn’t mention in his interview is American. Their ethics department is available for calls. He will be losing that job next especially if he is prosecuted for all of the damage he did to city property. He filed that lawsuit in hopes of getting the city to back off as the victim of his crime. He is looking down the barrel of a felony.
