Fullerton Council Member Jan Flory – Is She A Champion of Attempting to Keep Vital Facts and Figures from the Public’s Purview? Is She A True Hero to the City’s Special Interests? I Report, You Decide! By Barry Levinson
Barry Levinson
On September 15, 2015, I went to the Fullerton City Council podium during public comments to discuss the leaked Gennaco investigative report on the Kelly Thomas beating death. It had been leaked (by someone else) almost 2 months earlier. https://thefullertoninformer.com/barry-levinson-on-the-confidential-gennaco-report-on-the-kelly-thomas-murder/
Yet Ms. Flory interrupted my comments to suggest that I was out of line to provide this information to the public and to the council as well. The city attorney informed her that as a private citizen I had every right to discuss anything that was already out in the public including this report.
Jan Flory
Now let us go forward to the last Fullerton City Council meeting on October 20, 2015. A Council member pointed out to Gretchen Beatty, the head of our Human Resources Department that her cost numbers for the general employee union four-year wage and benefit proposal was understated by approximately 900,000 dollars. This understatement was based on not including all the pension costs the city would be financially responsible for over that four-year period. Ms. Flory creatively but incorrectly called the 900,000 dollars a philosophical difference.
Well ladies and gentlemen I do not believe Ms. Flory would identify the 900,000 dollar difference as philosophical if she were personally on the hook for that amount of money.
In fact, I had to remind her that she was supposed to be looking out for the taxpayers of Fullerton and that every dime we the taxpayers are responsible for should be of concern to her in her fiduciary role as a city council member. (Please remember that approximately 85% to 90% of all city employees live outside the city boundaries.)
Two very separate sets of circumstances and the only connection is that Council Member Jan Flory in both instances seemed not to be concerned about the folks living in Fullerton. Shame on you Ms. Flory for taking these two positions that in my opinion champion the special interests over the interests of the people of Fullerton.
P.S. There is however a silver lining in all of this. The silver lining is that Ms. Flory is up for reelection next November, at which time the Fullerton voters can remove her from council.
I report, you decide.

Barry has more skeleton’s in the closet that all the council members combined. That’s why he has to sit on the outside screaming and yelling for someone, anyone to do anything that he says!! Someone!! LOL

Last time I checked 7,400 people from Fullerton voted for Barry Levisnon in the last election. Who is this everybody that you are referring to?
Are you referring to the people involved in what appears to be a criminal conspiracy to frame Mr. Levinson and Mr. Gutierrez?
Could you be referring to the architects of the immoral and potentially illegal power grab with Fullerton’s DCCP?
Are you referring to the benefactors of, the architects of, and the instrumental council members that gave Fullerton its phony C.O.I.N. ordinance?
Are you referring the N.O.C.C.D Trustees that should have recused themselves from midsummer’s vote to put Measure J on the ballot that now appears to be winning via fraud?
Are you referring to those involved in potential violations of Education Code Section 7054 while lobbying for the F.J.U.H.S.D’s Measure I?
Are you referring to the out of control cops who like to threaten to smash women’s faces in, sexually assault women, frame people or murder a homeless man for refusing to play doctor with some deranged fat pig and his roided out pals?
Are you referring to the tools over at the Register like the 6th grade level writer Lou Ponsi and his bosses who run cover for the brutal misdeeds of the FPD and miscreants in the city hall crowd?
How about those upset with him over his crusade to put teeth in the sex offender ordinance to protect children from rapists and pedophiles that these creeps want to protect?
How about the phony political hacks in this town that won’t touch the real issues with a ten foot pole and as a result, keep getting their rear ends handed to them in every election cycle?
How about the Observer’s limousine liberal establishment plunge protection team complete with the Keller posse?
How about the empty suit ding dongs over at the Fullerton School District that can’t give the Barry a straight answer because the most basic of Barry’s questions are way above their overpriced pay grade?
Maybe you are speaking about what I believe to be thugs over at the FPOA headed by a taxpayer teat sucking goon who has gone almost as low if not lower than Sex Ed Silva in the last election.
Perhaps the 4F mafia- Chaffee, Flory and Fitzpringle is who you have in mind?
Mr. Levinson is a friend of Fullerton who has nothing but the best of intentions for its fiscal health and the well being of its residents. I wish we could say the same for the city hall crowd and its axe grinding aficionados.
I guess there are some pretty upset people out there but there are going to be even more that are upset when all the facts get out to the public and the masks are removed.
You know Jesus raised the dead, cured the blind, healed the sick but always told it like it was and look what they did to him. Barry will wear his lashes with honor and stand tall as there undoubtedly will be more from those that will stop at nothing to continue to put the olive branches into the fire pit and self servingly exchange the truth for lies. Fortunately 2016 is around the corner.
