When your word means almost nothing, it can be repurchased for really cheap. Jennifer Fitzgerald’s sure has and for a measly $850 a month. After publicly proclaiming that she would not take her stipend as a council member back in 2012, with no public announcement she has officially began drawing a paycheck from the city again since March 11, 2017. 
Why this turn of events? Well it sure looks like Pringle might be cutting her loose from her cush gig as VP of Pringle and Associates. So potentially there goes that income stream. Curt Pringle’s plan to have an insider on our council to ram through the DCCSP was thwarted by Barry Levinson and others. Why no public statement with all the pomp and circumstance announcing she is back on the dole like when she declined her stipend as a council member is anyone’s guess but for this Biola grad that has all the people up on the hill and the EV Free crowd hoodwinked, there is meaning in her actions. I guess her free public service is over but then again we always knew it was never free in the first place. Fitzgerald has cost this city dearly with her horrendous voting record on massive raises and expenditures as our roads and infrastructure remains in ruin.
Fitzgerald dropping her head in shame as Barry Levinson exposes the council ‘s unanimous vote that amounted to protecting pedophiles with the repeal of the Fullerton law that Barry helped write.
Well it looks like she won’t be pulling down the $165,000 salary as a county supervisor either with the dagger coming from Ed Royce endorsing the worthless forced vaccinator and forced irradiator Young Kim for supervisor. Looks like Fitzpringle won’t be getting her county benefits, the county pension and it looks like the gig with Pringle is soon to be off the table as well. Not that long ago, she was actually looking at the possibility of making $350,000 to $400,000 a year as both a county supervisor and a VP at Pringle and Associates. Well that was all contingent upon her delivering the goods as a council member involving massive development projects that would have destroyed Fullerton forever.
So no County Supervisor and possibly no more VP at Pringle’s office. Why has all this befallen our council member? Is it because she was unable to put the screws to the residents and get the tens of thousands of high rise apartment units built for her bosses and her developer friends? Is it because she has become a public relations nightmare for Curt Pringle? Is it because she has drawn too much attention with her connections to the biggest influence peddler in Orange County and so much so that the light of day was finally shone on these dastardly plans to turn the area in and around downtown Fullerton into downtown LA? Perhaps.
Fitzpringle up on the dais drinking aspartame, brominated vegetable oil, ester of wood rosen.,…… and all from a BPA lined can that lets some of that aluminum get into the solution
You will remember back in 2012, if you were paying attention, that the free pass given by Tony Bushala and with the assistance and support of Tony Bushala’s close friend Shawn Nelson, she was elected to the Fullerton City Council. Within a few months she was appointed to the Vice President position at Curt Pringle and Associates. Tony Bushala, whose family owns close to 40 million dollars in properties in Fullerton had just finished purchasing the election in 2012 by spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to install his boys Kiger, Whitaker, and Sebourn on the city council.
Tony’s tools he bankrolled to get elected in 2012 along with Fitzgerald who was given a pass.
Adding Fitzgerald gave the developers 4 votes and the entire council stacked the planning commission with stool pigeon plants that passed the DCCSP.
Gambino, Silber, Johnson, Shanfield, Han and Alvarez all voted to pass the DCCSP
Bushala’s handpicked bag man, Bruce Whitaker,
made sure his plant on the planning commission purposely missed the vote.
The insubordination of establishment operative Kevin Pendergraft
With all of Tony Bushala’s plants on the council such as Travis Kiger, Bruce Whitaker, and Greg Sebourn, Fullerton would have been poised for massive development as people were distracted by the attention being diverted to the police department’s misdeeds. It was the perfect cover. Bushala ran his blog for another year NEVER ONCE MENTIONING THE DCCSP. He then shut his blog down in early 2013 and opened back up after the 2016 election and to this day has NEVER MENTIONED THE DCCSP.
Behind the scenes, the DCCSP was passed by the planning commission and being gift wrapped and cooked to order by Bushala’s plants working with City staff and developers to rezone a plethora of commercial properties and turn them into ten story high rise housing buildings on hundreds of acres of arterial street frontage and in and around downtown Fullerton. This would have turned Fullerton into a gestapo run gridlocked version of Manhattan blended with the Bronx.
Well fortunately, it looks like the DCCSP is totally dead now because Bushala is turning on Fitgzerald after 5 long years of sitting and waiting for his development payday that never came. The DCCSP would have made his SOCO walk development earnings look like a box car bet on a 5 dollar crap table. Now after 5 long years after he remained totally silent on everything this woman did to pull Fullerton further down the fiscal drain and try to turn it into a high rise hell hole, Tony has turned his tools and phonies against her. Mind you he never exposed her for what she was before she was elected in 2012, never exposed her during her nearly disastrous 4 year tenure on the council from 2012 to 2016 and then still remained silent protecting her during the entire 2016 election cycle so she could get re elected.
Remember when Fitzgerald vowed publicly not to accept her council member stipend because she stated that there is nothing that says public servants should receive renumeration? Well, as of March 11, 2017, she began drawing her $850 a month for her work on the council. So now she is going to cost the taxpayers of Fullerton around $40,000 over the next four years.
Well at least we saved Fullerton from the developers and we saved $40,000 from 2012 to 2016 but it is too bad she was allowed to give away tens of millions of dollars in police, fire and city employee raises, benefit increases as well the approvals of pork projects while hundreds of miles of streets are in ruin.
Well we know her word means nothing and we also know that Fullerton is safe from the massive development agenda for now because of the light of day people like Barry Levinson shed on the dirty deeds of Fullerton’s political creeps. More to come as we wait for Fitzpringle to finally become Fitzgerald again.

This run for higher office I predict will be Bruce Whitaker’s last failed attempt to attain for himself a huge government paycheck. For a man who claims to be a limited government conservative a very large portion of his earnings, especially in the last decade has come from the government dole!
I read some PR put out on his candidacy and they have to go way, way back to 1994 to attempt to give Whitaker any relevancy. He has done nothing for Fullertonians since 1994 and he now wants your vote again.
How about the 4 to 5 million dollar finding I handed to you and the rest of the city council that you refused to discuss with me or for that matter the public at city council meetings. This related to the change in the management agreement with Amercian Golf Corporation for the Fullerton Golf Course. How about voting to disenfranchise the 2nd Fullerton District in 20178 in order to give his pal Greg Sebourn the ability to run again giving the 3rd district not one council member but two council members (Jesus Silva).. What about ignoring all the good district maps worked on by the people for many months only to vote for a developer’s dream map that basically disinfrances those that live within the downtown area supposedly drawn by Slide Bar owner Jeremy Popoff ( I believe someone else put that map together and gave it to Popoff) given to the city at the eleventh hour.
How about Whitaker complaining about a grant application vote without the grant application itself and yet when I provided a permanent solution to that problem at council he and all the other phony council member ignored not only me but much more importantly the solution to the problem. The solution was to vote to require that any item that came before council with a time deadline be brought not at the very last meeting but at least 2 meetings before the deadline. This I explained to council and Whitaker would ensure that any information not provided by the city manager and staff could be provided at the next meeting. This would stop the games the city plays in hiding information about important votes. Did they do this? NO! Did Whitaker and his phony colleagues discuss this solution? NO! It is unfortunate but they continue to prove to the people of Fullerton that they not only are not doing their jobs well but refuse to deal with honest solutions to the problems facing us.

Very much like myself probably didn’t realize just to what extent Tony was compromised back then. hindsight is 20/20 and Fullerton politics and believe me nobody needs glasses to see what kind of crony phony crap has been going on with the help of Tony bushala since the the blood of Kelly Thomas finally dried up in that gutter

Barry you’ve done an excellent job exposing all of the nonsense about Bruce being this staunch fiscal conservative.
