You will know a tree by its fruit ladies and gentlemen. The charade continues for four more years as Bruce Whitaker has successfully conned the residents of Fullerton in the last election. The political games he played recruiting vote splitting plants insured Fitzgerald’s re election and the continued demise of Fullerton. The facts speak for themselves about Bruce Whitaker and they are undeniable.
Well for now, let us deal with a very pressing issue that trumps the $300 hotel bills that Bruce’s sycophants keep bringing up. Lets not look at the elephant in the room but rather the ocean liner in the parking lot. Lets look at the Brea Dam issue and the contract with American Golf.
Barry Levinson was Bruce Whitaker’s appointee to the Fullerton Park and Recreation Commission for almost 5 years. Barry never missed a meeting, always asked good questions and took his volunteer position very seriously.
If you will remember Barry had hand delivered his detailed analysis of a 5 million dollar shortfall to the taxpayers with the Brea Dam -American Golf contract to the Park and Recreation Commissioners.
He also emailed and delivered these findings to the City Council, including the Council member who appointed him, Bruce Whitaker.

So what does Bruce Whitaker do? He ignores the information and then subsequently removes Barry Levinson from the Park and Recreation Commission back in May of 2016.
Ladies and gentlemen, the seat on the commission was not filled until 2 weeks ago. Since then, Fullerton taxpayers have lost almost $250,000 and Bruce Whitaker has left the position on the Park and Recreation Commission vacant. Can someone provide a reason for this?
I can. It is my opinion that Bruce Whitaker fired Barry Levinson to cover this up and has kept the seat on the commission empty to keep the issue from being raised. Bruce Whitaker has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about this ongoing fleecing of the taxpayers. Bruce has refused to respond to what Barry presented in writing and to this day REFUSES TO GIVE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY HE REMOVED BARRY FROM HIS POSITION. Bruce has not once agendized this issue, brought it up at council meetings or discussed this matter in any social media outlet. He has been and remains silent on the issue the was raised by HIS OWN APPOINTEE TO THE VERY COMMISSION whose purview it falls under. What does Bruce do? He fires his appointee and leaves the position unfilled for almost a year! I believe that Bruce is actively engaged in a cover up of a taxpayer ripoff ladies and gentlemen and his behavior fully affirms this.
What kind of fiscal conservative is Bruce Whitaker? Ladies and gentlemen, draw your own conclusions. My opinion is Bruce is a fraud.
What kind of fiscal conservative would ignore such a massive finding?
What kind of fiscal conservative would fire his own appointee to the commission who did his job better than all the rest of them combined?
What kind of taxpayers choice is Bruce Whitaker letting the multi million dollar taxpayer ripoff continue?
What kind of limited government advocate behaves like Bruce Whitaker? Just like the lobbyist he voted to make mayor for the ballot.
What kind of advocate for open and transparent government is Bruce Whitaker? He is just like one that these two phonies support.
What kind of reformer is Bruce Whitaker? The same kind as his supporter Shawn Nelson. This phony tried to put a hundred grand in real estate commissions into his pals pocket while trying to ram a homeless shelter in next to an elementary school. He and Bruce are well connected.
What kind of fiscal conservative Bruce Whitaker Ignoring a 5 million dollar taxpayer ripoff?
What kind of conservative?
The same kind that put an Agenda 21 SCAG senior planner on our planning commission while our traffic and roads rival that of Los Angeles.
What kind of conservative? One that spent over 30 minutes at the last council meeting splitting hairs over a $32,000 grant and spent less than a minute repealing the law that protected Fullerton children from sex offenders.

Joe you left out his failure to fix a problem he himself made a big deal over recently. Bruce Whitaker stated that he was concerned that a recent agenda item had little or no documentation. The council was asked to vote on a grant application which was not yet completed.
Mr. Levinson at the next meeting provided a simple and easy way to ensure that this practice of bringing items for a vote without proper documentation would end.
He informed the council that the only thing needed to stop this undemocratic practice was for Whitaker or any other council member to make a motion that all future agenda items that have a deadline to act, must be brought before the council at least 2 council meetings before that deadline. This would allow all council members and members of the public in attendance to ask pertinent questions and demand any and all information lacking was provided to both the council and the public prior to voting. There could be no excuse by the council or members of the city government not to provide that information as part of the very next meeting. Problem solved.
What was the reaction of Whitaker and the rest of the council….COMPLETE SILENCE!
What do you call a council member who complains about a problem and has the opportunity to fix the problem and does absolutely nothing?
A TOTAL AND COMPLETE FRAUD.
