COMMENTARY BY BARRY LEVINSON
Larry continues to dig a deeper and deeper hole for himself with his arrogant and contemptuous comments toward the good citizens of Fullerton. He in particular called out the online site called NextDoor, which is a site dedicated to connecting people in the same or adjoining neighborhoods.
He also made a point in support of this development that also showed his lack of objectivity. According to Commissioner Bennett, the fact that the owner of the property wants to sell to Red Oak is evidence that it is a good project. Think about that statement. Mr. Bennett apparently has been spinning the facts for so long that he does not even realize when he makes comments that on its face defies any common sense.
Of course the owner of the land wants his sale to be consummated. But to use that fact as justification that it is a good deal for the community is beyond the pale. 
This man, LARRY BENNETT wants to be your next city council member.
Tell LARRY BENNETT on November 8th, that before we would consider giving him our vote, he first has to demonstrate that he actually represents us and not all the special interests.
P.S. I noticed yesterday that two large banners for Larry Bennett for Fullerton City Council were on the fencing in front of the closed Fullerton Internal Medicine building, the site where Melia Homes wants to build all those townhomes.
Since that issue can and probably will come up for a vote again to the Planning Commission, it seems those banners could create at least the appearance of a conflict of interest.
Question: Do we need another council member who seems to favor the special interests over the good people of Fullerton?
I REPORT, YOU DECIDE.

Political money is so fun.

Any fool in there right mind should wonder why a woman wants to spend $120,000.00 in in order to obtain a $8,000 per year position!
However, in your case, I guess we’ll make an exception ; )

You are absolutely right Fullerton Lover. But the queen of wasting, I mean spending money to get elected goes to Sharon Quirk-Silva. Based on the number of mailers she has sent out or have been sent out in support of her, she will easily end up spending over 1 million dollars to win a part-time job!
Do you think that maybe her large dollar campaign contributors have picked up a few IOU’s to be paid back in kind from Quirk-Silva if she gets elected?

Yes she has been bought and paid for many times over. If elected she will be totally controlled by the special interests and the Democratic Party.

That’s politics Lover. Democrats are the worst of the worst with the money and special interests. They are all bought and paid for, especially Billary. It’s sad but nothing anyone does will change that. Remember Whitaker used to claim he was clean and not bought off and was going to change things, and now you guys hate his guts. Politics is what it is. Even people that claim to be clean, all become politicians and go to the dark side. It’s just something we all have to deal with for life, and always have.You can run the money numbers on any politician and make it fit into any agenda that you want it to fit into. There isn’t one politician that you can’t make look dirty by their donations. Even if Joe gets in, which he won’t, he will appear bought and paid for eventually because the more votes he loses with his sole vote, the more frustrating it gets winning nothing. He will eventually talk to people and understand why the middle ground is best.

“Middle ground” is tired and done for. Too late for that BS.
You sound old & tired.
