Phony conservative Jennifer Fitzgerald and her liberal twin’s land of the lost.

Jennifer Fitzgerald works for Curt Pringle full time. She works for big developers part time behind the scenes as you will see when she votes to ruin Fullerton with the Downtown Core and Corridor Special Program. Jencurt Fitzpringle works overtime for the municipal employees, most of which do not even live in the city. Fullerton has hundreds of millions of dollars worth of unfunded pension and health care liabilities and she smiles at all of you because she doesn’t work for you.

Does Fullerton Cares Autism Foundation’s Larry Houser really care?

There is nothing more disturbing than charities propagating the demise of those they ostensibly exist to protect and serve. I believe that is exactly what is going on with the Autism merry go round happy party scam in Fullerton. According to their 990 form, Fullerton Cares Autism Foundation exists to “raise funds for scientific research for a CURE to Autism, to support those individuals with Autism and to carry on activities associated with this goal.”

The Plot Thickens as We the Public Get Closer to the Truth about the Excessive Water Losses at Laguna Lake.

The Plot Thickens as We the Public Get Closer to the Truth about the Excessive Water Losses at Laguna Lake.

by Barry Levinson

Several months ago, as Parks and Recreation Committee member, I directly asked for and received in writing from the City of Fullerton’s Water System Manager, Dave Schickling, the water usage at Laguna Lake over the last 5 years.   The water usage over this period of time indicated that the water consumed was almost identical each of those years.

Therefore, why did the city not take appropriate action to fix this problem before now?  Why didn’t the Water Systems Manager inform the Parks and Recreation Committee about this ongoing long-term water loss problem at Laguna Lake?

We now know that the city of Fullerton has not been identifying the cost of water used by the city as a separate line item in the budget but rather passing all of its costs thru to the ratepayers in Fullerton.

At the September Park and Recreation Committee meeting, I made a motion that was seconded to agendize a change in how water is accounted for by the Parks and Recreation Department from the current pass-thru method to ratepayers to an itemized expense included in the costs for the Parks and Recreation Department.

This most needed change would provide for an accurate accounting of all costs to run the department. The current pass-thru method hides the true cost of the Parks and Recreation Department, thereby understating the real city budget deficits for the next two years by hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Therefore, apparently the actual deficits are not the reported 2.8 million dollars over the next two years, but closer to $3.5 million dollars or more.

I also asked that Director Curiel invite Mr. Schickling to come before our committee to explain why the city apparently ignored this water loss issue at Laguna Lake for many years and at the same time did not make it known to the public.  This situation is troubling since water is one of the larger costs necessary to run the Parks and Recreation Department:

Fullerton city government transparency must start with an accurate accounting of all costs required to run this city.

P.S.  About six days before the normally scheduled monthly Parks and Recreation meeting in October, I received an email message from Director Hugo Curiel, stating that our Committee Chair had requested we go dark in October because the Water Department/City was not ready to present on the water accounting issue.

I guess the city/water department was not ready to provide answers as to why they did not disclose the excessive water loss problem when it began at least 5 years ago and maybe as long as 11 years ago when the Laguna Lake renovation was completed.  I believed that the people of Fullerton deserved answers as soon as possible.  I guess the city and/or our Parks and Recreation Committee Chair on the other hand thought it was prudent to put off the day of reckoning as long as possible.

I know one thing that is for sure, this would be the absolute worst time to consider the Downtown Core and Corridor and the College Town Special Projects.

For every member of the council as well as the city manager must know that we the public have not sacrificed so willingly and so much to conserve water only to give it all back and then some to developers and their consultant representatives.

I report, you decide.

THE PREVIOUS LEAKED CONFIDENTIAL REPORT (ENTITLED THE “INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATIVE REPORT INTO THE IN-CUSTODY DEATH OF KELLY THOMAS by the OIR GROUP HEADED BY MICHAEL GENNACO) BEFORE THE CITY OF FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2015 WITH SOME ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS by Barry Levinson

THE PREVIOUS LEAKED CONFIDENTIAL REPORT (ENTITLED THE “INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATIVE REPORT INTO THE IN-CUSTODY DEATH OF KELLY THOMAS by the OIR GROUP HEADED BY MICHAEL GENNACO) BEFORE THE CITY OF FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2015 WITH SOME ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS by Barry Levinson

Barry Levinson

Barry Levinson

The conclusions of this report issued in April 2012 to Police Chief Hughes occurred approximately 18 months before the Ramos and Cincinelli trial seems to contradict the sworn testimony of both Fullerton Police Department Training Officer, Corporal Rubio and Fullerton Police Department Sergeant Kevin Craig.  They both testified that they saw no major violations of the Fullerton Police Department Policy Manual during the brutal beating death of Kelly Thomas and the subsequent police response to his injuries.

Did FPD Police Chief Dan Hughes provide this crucial piece of evidence to the OC DA and if not did this directly lead to a not-guilty verdict?

Why has not Police Chief Dan Hughes taken any action to open up a police investigation concerning the alleged perjury by two of his officers? Why did he not follow the same course of action for this alleged felony perjury case as his department did with regard to Barry Levinson’s baseless misdemeanor case that was later dropped by the OC DA for lack of evidence?

Chief Hughes knew that the sealed Gennnaco report conclusions conflicted with his officers’ testimony.  Did he provide it to the Orange County D. A. as requested as part of the packet of information subpoenaed by the Prosecution, or did he not?

This explosive information provided by the City of Fullerton’s own expert, needs to be thoroughly reviewed in light of the contradicting sworn testimony in a criminal murder trial by Rubio and Craig

 

PS:  Please note that it was Council member Jan Flory,

Hate_speech_meeting_8

 who attempted in vain to get our City Attorney to rule that this information that has been out in the public purview for several months could be blocked from being disseminated by a private citizen, Barry Levinson.  Ms. Flory valiantly tried to keep the truth from the public that night.  In my opinion this showed where Ms. Flory’s true allegiance lies and it was not with the public.

Fullerton’s Downtown Core Corridor: A Toxic sinking ship, the condemnation of our groundwater and the massive power grab by Joe Felz

Either Fullerton’s DCCP is doomed or all of us are. Look at these maps folks. They are proposing to build massive high rise construction RIGHT SMACK DAB ON TOP OF A POTENTIAL SUPERFUND SITE. These images tell the whole story.

Joe Felz tried to ram this massive power grab and development fast track through when no one was looking on a mid summer’s night. They held the Fullerton City Council meeting in the library room instead of The council chambers and tried to pass it at 11 o’clock on a Tuesday night with no live feed to the local cable access channels and no live feed to the city’s online coverage of the meeting.

So why would any sane rational elected representative bury this ticking toxic time bomb in our aquifer under 10 story high rises from here to kingdom come? Do we have any to speak of?  I believe the current council majority comprised of Jan Flory, jennifer Fitzgerald and Doug Chaffee will do anything to generate revenues designed to float the sinking pension ship and to keep the public employee gravy train rolling down the tracks. That is why they were installed by the unions on the Council. Big development brings in big money for the city. Look folks the two year budget they keep passing will come to haunt all of us when the city finally will have to show all the unfunded pension liabilities on their books next year as a result of a new State law. You know what that means? Well for starters, it could spell the beginning of the end of the City of Fullerton’s solvency. So in the meantime, Jan Flory, Jennifer Fitzgerald, and Doug Chaffee will have to act fast and ram this through before the next election so they can account for the windfall ledger entries of future revenue that this treasonous disaster could bring to the city’s drained coffers.

You heard me. They will bury alive your aquifer that desperately needs remediation under a million tons of concrete and steel while they kill what is left of this town with a massive high density housing extravaganza, traffic busting and chocking up our already ruined roads, and a business killing zoning change party just so their friends at city hall can keep burning tri tip boozing it up in their backyards while you are all at work paying for their bacon and wine tasting trips to Europe.

With all the aforementioned aside, this is a massive illegal power grab, as pointed out by Mr. Barry Levinson right here:   https://thefullertoninformer.com/who-is-behind-this-massive-grab-of-money-and-power-known-as-the-downtown-core-and-corridor-specific-plan-dccsp-city-manager-joe-felz/

https://thefullertoninformer.com/how-awful-and-corrupt-is-the-fullerton-downtown-core-and-corridor-special-project-please-let-me-count-the-ways-as-follows-by-barry-levinson/

All normal case by case project specific checks and balances, public input and commission review which have been a bulwark against out of control development will be done away with, and placed in the fast track lane all at the mercy of and in the hands of an unelected bureaucrat named Joe Felz -Fullerton’s city manager. Yes the end of piecemeal planning and the beginning of the Agenda 21 nightmare for Fullerton.

As a resident and a taxpayer, I am requesting that all of the planning commissioners that approved this be removed from their positions, and that this item tabled indefinitely or shredded until the EPA has cleared our aquifer.  There is absolutely no reason to ram this through right now. This is a one stop shop, one E.I.R., council bypass that, in my opinion, is too huge to be handed off to unelected city staff through the hands of the five on the council. Going forward, there is no objective, honest way that you can conclude that green lighting such a massive project is in the best interests of the residents of this city, especially when hardly anyone knows about it. The insidious irony of projects of this magnitude and nature is that the scope of the public reporting requirements decreases inversely proportionate to the size of the development. Placing this on the ballot remedies that injustice to the residents.

This is leaps and bounds above and beyond the scope and magnitude of what is warranted at this time. It is an immense concession of checks and balances in the City’s long standing traditional approach to planning. Fast tracking makes sense in times of fiscal or other emergencies.The occupany rates of Fullerton housing is no where near 100 percent at this time.

This thing is a total Agenda 21 developer and variance orgy clothed in an affordable housing garb. Send the money back to the state and get Felz to disband the redevelopment has been dream team and you will have doubled your money in 12 months.

In addition, almost none of the claims that this thing makes are even remotely possible to accomplish. Mitigating traffic with a few more trash cans is an insult. I have not even mentioned that there are several legal challenges that will be brought forth if this item is moved forward as it is written.

Put the brakes on this thing and do the right thing. Let’s look at this through the eyes of your constituents by placing it in the shredder where it belongs. No one lives more than three days without water. Don’t build 10 story WiFi prison mausoleums on top of our aquifer just so a few hundred people that work for the city can maintain their standard of living at the expense of the other 150,000 who live in the real world. I will remind you that everyone is expendable, even city employees and even rocket fuel contaminated water seeks its own level as you will all find out with November 2016 being right around the corner.

For the first time in ORANGE COUNTY’S 100 PLUS YEAR HISTORY, VECTOR CONTROL plans to spray 53,000 acres of Orange County with poison from the sky

For the first time in ORANGE COUNTY’S 100 PLUS YEAR HISTORY, VECTOR CONTROL plans to spray 53,000 acres of Orange County with a pesticide called “Duet dual action adulticide” and they are doing it WITHOUT mass mailing, WITHOUT your permission, WITHOUT your knowledge and WITHOUT your input.

FOLKS, NO ONE HAS DIED FROM WEST NILE IN THE OC IN 2015

 WHY RUSH THIS THROUGH NOW SECRETLY WITH NO WARNING? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

 THIS IS A HUGE PRECEDENT BEING SET HERE.

REMEMBER BACK IN 1989 WHEN THE MORONS AT THE STATE LEVEL SPRAYED TOXIC MALATHION ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THEY TOLD US THAT WAS SAFE? MALATHION IS NOW BANNED BECAUSE IT CAUSES  CANCER.  Read the rest of this entry »

Jennifer Fitzgerald- “I move the item”-ANOTHER CELL TOWER NEXT TO A SCHOOL

Folks for the second time in a row, Fullerton City Councilwoman Jennifer Fitzgerald, stepped right up and rammed another dangerous cell tower through the Fullerton city council-this one right next to Parks Junior High School that will penetrate the classrooms and expose all students to microwave RF emissions in addition the the staggering levels already present as a result of FSD’s Robert Pletka’s reckless use of wireless technology in all of its classrooms.

This woman just couldn’t wait to monetize another park and dose the poor kids and neighbors.

Yesterday my family attended the City of Fullerton’s celebration of the 4th of July with games for the kids and food and music for all to enjoy. As always the fireworks show accompanied by music was a roaring success.  

The Park and Recreation Department takes the lead in ensuring a great event and congratulations should be given to all those Park and Recreation employees who worked hard both prior to and at the celebration. Also I would like to thank Hugo Curiel, the Director of the Fullerton Parks and Recreation Department for a job well done.  Read the rest of this entry »

Shame on Fullerton’s homegrown sellout Young Kim for the betrayal of millions of children voting Yes on SB 277

kim 6

Young Kim claims that, after a lot of thoughtful consideration, she rises to support SB 277.

Ms. Kim, your consideration is not what matters. What matters are  the rights of your constituents and your duty is to uphold the Constitution and to protect the welfare of everyone.  SB 277 and vaccines do no such thing.

FULLERTON BUDGET VOTE Or why can’t we get a majority of our council to be concerned with our budget deficits?

 

FULLERTON BUDGET VOTE

Or why can’t we get a majority of our council to be concerned with our budget deficits? by Barry Levinson

 

Barry Levinson

Barry Levinson

On Tuesday, the 9th of June, the city council split their votes 2 for and 2 against the 2015-2016 and the 2016-2017 budgets that had projected million dollar plus deficits for at least the next two years. Fitzgerald and Flory voted for the budget and Whitaker and Sebourn voted against approving the budget as presented by the city. Council member Chaffee was absent, which created an even number of council members to be present and thus resulted in the budget vote going down to defeat. It will be revisited in the upcoming council meeting on Tuesday June 16th.  Read the rest of this entry »

They are considering 3 options to reduce the water loss at Laguna Lake. However, the only action taken on Laguna Lake last night was to approve a consultant contract to determine the cause of and solutions for the water loss and bring back the results NLT the July 21 council meeting. I will keep residents informed when this item comes back to council. The rest of the plan was officially approved at the meeting.  Read the rest of this entry »
