The more things change the more they stay the same for those comprising an electorate that is not paying attention. Believe me they get by with a little help from their friends.
The RAGister’s establishment sycophant Lou Ponsi and Fitzgerald sycophant Gretchen Cox
The typical MO for political operatives here in Fullerton is to simply muddy the waters.
They for the most, put on a thin conservative political veneer, parse words, pat each other on the back, stand for what appears to be something that actually translates into nothing, say what amounts to nothing, do what amounts to nothing, and then
Robyn Nordell and Shawn Nelson both propped up phony conservative- Democrat turned Republican Jennifer Fitzgerald in the last election
make it possible for people like this come out of nowhere, take the public by surprise and stick it to the residents and taxpayers.

Introducing Larry Bennett who was the head of the failed anti recall campaign a few years back.
Well he is resurfacing for some more phony conservative acting classes at Fullerton City Hall. Just one problem, his reputation as an establishment union hack precedes him every step of the way. As a refresher, he was the one who presided over the cabal a few years back that tried to cling to power as the residents threw the three stooges that for decades, ran Fullerton into the ground out on their asses.
Well like usual he failed.
FINE COMMUNITY SERVANTS?
Larry Bennett was and is a tool of the FPD. At the time, Larry Bennett was protecting an out of control department that had multiple dead bodies on its hands.
Dean Gochenour died while in custody at the house of horrors-Fullerton Jail- Dean was the man who was found dead in his cell at the Fullerton jail and the officer who was in charge at the time, decided to smash his digitally activated recorder (DAR) rather than turn it over to the OC District Attorneys office.
Then there was Kelly Thomas
Then of course comes Larry Bennett to the rescue. Larry Bennett’s laundry list of campaign donors is stacked to the hilt with those who who also supported the regime that for decades allowed the culture of corruption in the Fullerton Police department to flourish, the crony capitalist deals with the redevelopment scammers and the developers to go down hard and fast, and the bloated salaries and pension scams to fly at mach 2 that have left this town riddled with busted up roads everywhere, ridiculous gridlock with more high density housing on the way and no money left for anything other than The Fullerton Police departments murder and sexual assault lawsuits, and more raises and benefits for the police, fire and city workers that for the most part don’t even live here in Fullerton.
A FEW YEARS BACK, LARRY BENNETT WAS TEAMED BY FULLERTON POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION WITH FULL BLOWN ESTABLISHMENT LIBERAL DEMOCRAT UNION HACK DOUG CHAFFEE.

AND IF BENNETT WAS OFFENDED BY THIS PAIRING BY THE FPOA UNION TEAM ASSIGNMENT MARRYING THESE TWO AT THE HIPS BY THE FPOA, DO YOU THINK HE WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT IT? HE SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM CHAFFEE WHICH HE DID NO SUCH THING.
BENNETT IS ALSO CONNECTED TO THE HIP OF FULLERTON’S QUEEN SHEBA OF CRONY CAPITALISM, QUEEN OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST, PRINGLE OPERATIVE, TAX AND SPEND, HIGH RISE DEVELOPMENT PUSHER, DEMOCRAT IN REPUBLICAN CLOTHING, TWIN VOTING RECORDS WITH LIBERAL DEMOCRATS JAN FLORY AND DOUG CHAFFEE, RINO ESTABLISHMENT HACK JENNIFER FITZGERALD

Are these people gonna figure this out before I can pull off the DCCSP for my boss?
Here is Larry defending the illegal water tax
BENNETT’S RUNNING MATE CHAFFEE AT TROY HIGH SCHOOL TRYING TO RAISE TAXES PUSHING FOR THE BOND SCAM ON THE RESIDENTS
THESE THREE ARE THE APPLE OF BENNETTS EYE=THE OLD GUARD THAT RAN FULLERTON INTO THE GROUND
LARRY BENNETT HAS BEEN AND IS CONTINUED TO BE CONNECTED TO AND FINANCED BY ALL THE WRONG PEOPLE.
WHAT IS THE MOST OBSCENE OF ALL OF HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS IS THAT LARRY BENNETT DEFENDED THE INDEFENSIBLE -HIS IDEA OF PROTECTING FULLERTON WAS PROTECTING THE MURDERERS OF KELLY THOMAS AND THE CULTURE OF CORRUPTION IN THE FPD. HE TOOK SOME SERIOUS CASH FROM THE FPOA IN 2014
http://docs.cityoffullerton.com/weblink/DocView.aspx?dbid=1&id=554883&page=1&cr=1
HE ACTUALLY WORKED AGAINST THE MAJORITY OF FULLERTON RESIDENTS WHO HAD ENOUGH OF THE OLD GUARD THAT GAVE US THE FINANCIAL CLIFF AND THE OUT OF CONTROL POLICE DEPARTMENT.
LARRY BENNETT EVEN GOES ALONG WITH THE FAILED FRAMING OF BARRY LEVINSON BY DAN HUGHES AND YET DEFENDS THE BRUTAL MURDERERS OF KELLY THOMAS.
IS THIS THE TYPE OF LEADER YOU WANT, SOMEONE WHO COMES TO FALSE CONCLUSIONS WITHOUT DEMANDING THE EVIDENCE? THE CITY CAMERAS IN THE LOBBY SHOWED THAT NO SUCH EVENT EVER TOOK PLACE. IS THIS THE LEADERSHIP YOU WANT-ACTING WITHOUT ALL THE FACTS?
IS HE JUST ANOTHER ESTABLISHMENT HACK GOING ALONG WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT CROWD? LOOK AT HIS FACEBOOK POST FROM 2014. IT SHOWS JUST HOW COORDINATED THIS FRAMING WAS AND LARRY BENNETT WAS CONDONING IT WITHOUT EVER HAVING SEEN THE VIDEO THAT SHOWS NOTHING HAPPENED.
Larry Bennett for Fullerton City Council 2016
This is a failure of leadership when we excuse this behavior. Barry Levinson should have been booted from the commission. It’s not a tough call. It’s not a close call. We deserve better from our commissioners and we certainly deserve better from our councilmen. Do the right thing.

A City Council motion to oust a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, accused of simple assault of an AT&T employee after an August council meeting, failed late Tuesday.
LARRY BENNETT’S GOOD FRIEND PAT MCKINLEY-“I HIRED THEM ALL” –
LARRY BENNETT WANTS YOU TO THINK HE IS TOUGH ON THE ISSUES.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS HIS ALTER EGO IS STILL FOLLOWING MR. PROTECT FULLERTON RECALL NO AROUND. THIS IS HOW LOW MR STATUS QUO PHONY CONSERVATIVE ESTABLISHMENT HACK LARRY BENNETT WILL GO TO WIN AN ELECTION. WHAT A LOW LIFE BENNETT REALLY IS. THIS IS THE CRAP HIS CABAL TURNED OUT WHILE HE WAS AT THE HELM TRYING TO DEFEND THE KILLER COPS AND THE THREE HACKS ON THE COUNCIL THAT WERE RUNNING FULLERTON INTO THE GROUND.
LARRY BENNETT RAN THE ANTI RECALL CAMPAIGN AND MOST LIKELY HAS TO HAVE APPROVED THIS MESSAGE BELOW WHICH IS TOTALLY WITHOUT ANY CLASS OR DIGNITY. SO DOES THAT MEAN MR BENNETT HAS NO CLASS OR DIGNITY? CERTAINLY IS NOT HE PORTRAYS HIMSELF IN PUBLIC.
I DIDN’T KNOW PROMOTING THIS TYPE OF SOFT PORN WAS PART OF THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM LARRY?
I DIDN’T KNOW DEFENDING SNUFF FILM PRODUCTION WAS PART OF THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM LARRY.
LARRY BENNETT ACTS AS IF HE IS SOME FISCAL CONSERVATIVE WHO IS CONCERNED ABOUT OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. LARRY HAS CLEARLY SHOWN THAT HE HAD NO REGARD FOR THOSE RIGHTS AS THEY RELATED TO OR THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF KELLY THOMAS, DEAN GOCHENOUR, OR ANY OF THE REST OF THOSE WHO WERE FRAMED, MAIMED, MURDERED, MOLESTED, HARRASSED , SHAKEN DOWN, OR THREATENED BY THE FPD.
HE ACTS AS IF HE IS CONCERNED WITH DEVELOPMENT IN FULLERTON WHEN IN REALITY, THE ONLY DEVELOPMENTS HE IS REALLY CONCERNED WITH ARE THOSE THAT INVOLVE MAKING SURE THE NEW BOSS REMAINS THE SAME AS THE OLD BOSS. WE ALL KNOW THAT SONG FOLKS.
THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND LARRY BENNETT IS, HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE NOTHING MORE THAN-
Foolerton’s Phony Conservative Establishment Big Government Union Hack
NOT ONE PEEP OUT OF BENNETT FOR YEARS AT THE COUNCIL MEETINGS AND NOW HE IS BEING ROLLED OUT LIKE A CIRCUS CLOWN ONCE AGAIN TO TRY TO SIPHON VOTES AWAY FROM THE TRUE REFORM CANDIDATES. IT DIDN’T WORK BEFORE AND IT WON’T WORK NOW BECAUSE JOE IMBRIANO IS RUNNING THIS TIME AROUND. THE PARTY IS OVER AT CITY HALL.
STANDING UP FOR THE RESIDENTS EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING

A rookie patrol officer in Fullerton earns approximately $70,000 a year including benefits.
Police Chief Hughes earns over well over $300,000 a year including benefits.
A rookie patrol officer would have conducted a much better and certainly a more honest investigation than Police Chief Dan Hughes.
I guess on top of everything else that is despicable about Dan Hughes, he is also one big total waste of Fullerton taxpayer dollars except of course for his PR value to Joe Felz and Jennifer Fitzgerald.

All well deserved income and careers.
Have you looked at how Fullerton compares to other OC cities or California cities? Or you don’t care?
How’s Fullerton’s Police and Fire raises in pay and benefits been over the last 10 years?
All things that are relevant to Fullerton residents with open minds and non biased agendas. Go ahead.

Maybe you could help the readers understand what a D.R.O.P payment is?
This LAPD Detective that I’ve included in the link appears to be receiving about a half a million dollars added onto his pension from a DROP payment.
Is this why Matt Malone isn’t really retiring from the Fullerton PD and will continue to work 20 hours per week?

It’s called the Drop program. Used extensively across California. Some like it and some feel it’s a fraud. It’s saves the cities money and allows the worker to continue working one extra year. I go back and forth with my support of it. I know some high level workers getting their pension of 200k and a paycheck for the 200k right now. But they are saving the city all of their medical, vehicle, and other things that the same worker would be getting if it wasn’t them. Not all cities do it. LAPD is big with it. Some smaller cities also do it. If it works out better for everyone then I guess I support it.

Interesting article about fire departments at the city level.
I noticed that when my elderly neighbor called 911, and specifically requested that he needed medical assistance for his wife, that a 40 foot fire truck with 6 or 8 fireman on board showed up to help her get off the ground, and while two of them helped her get up, the rest of the crew stood around outside out front for at least an hour after they arrived.
The labor costs alone for that visit must have been over a $1,000, and that amount of money isn’t even taking into consideration the procurement and operating costs of the fire truck that was unnecessarily dispatched, not to mention that this huge fire truck had to be taken out of service for a medical call instead of the purpose that it was truly intended for, which is to fight fires.

Seemed like a colossal waste of resources to me, given that the same level of medical care could have been provide from two people from the firm that contracts with the city for ambulance services, Care Ambulance.
