So the taxpayers appear to be getting the proverbial 5 million dollar shaft by some aspartame gum chewing rubber stamp hack that calls public comments “Tirades” and interferes with the people’s business by moving to receive and file the Brea Dam issue without any discussion whatsoever.
For months, The Brea Dam Issue has been a heated topic of discussion thanks to David Curlee’s excellent work
Barry Levinson has repeatedly brought this and other issues to the forefront for months now as an acting city commissioner. Recently, on the heels of a laughable city response to Mr. Curlee’s accusations, Mr. Levinson drilled down deeper and connected the dots to a missing 5 million dollar mess
Barry Levinson has been serving on the Fullerton Parks and Recreation commission for over 5 years.
He does his homework, he gets his facts straight and he tells it like it is. He is the bar when it comes to what a commission member should be and he is the gold standard when it comes to the due diligence the position warrants. He represents the people all over Fullerton, not just in his own back yard. What does he get for doing his job? Well for starters, ignored by city staff when he drills down deep and puts together a 5 million dollar mess that no one wants to talk about.
Karen Lang Mcnab and Gretchen Cox pictured below, are enemies of the first amendment, much like the council members that appointed them-Fitzgerald and Chaffee as well as Jan Flory.
During the end of the Fullerton Park and Recreation Commission meeting, it was Mr. Levinson’s turn to speak on any issue withing the purview of the commission. He was in the middle of speaking on the 5 million dollar shortfall on the American Golf contract genie that has been out of the bottle for several weeks now THAT NO ONE ON THE CITY COUNCIL OR COMMISSIONS WANTS TO TOUCH WITH A TEN FOOT POLE.
WATCH HIM HAVE HIS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AS AN ACTING COMMISSIONER BE VIOLATED BY THESE ENEMIES OF FREE SPEECH who are interfering the people’s business being conducted in Fullerton. Mr Levinson is looking out for the taxpayers and this is either way over the heads of these rubber stamp hacks or they are wanting to keep this covered up. The problem still has not been addressed and Mr. Levinson is not letting this issue get swept under the rug.
Watch as Fullerton’s paid legal counsel present at the meeting takes part in this.
She is paid to attend these meetings and she chose to allow this to happen. Ivy Tsai’s behavior was the most troubling of all in attendance as a paid city attorney on staff with Jones and Meyer. Does she know better?

City Atty Ivy Tsai was there, specifically, to ensure that the meeting proceedings were conducted according to the law. It should not have been incumbent upon Mr. Levinson to step up and defend his right to speak.
That was Ms. Tsai’s responsibility and she refused to do so, allowing Ms. McNabb to deny Levinson’s rights and adjourn the meeting.
With the exception of Mr. Silva, who wanted answers on this and voted to abstain, these commissioners have no business on this commission or any other body of city business.
Ms. Tsai either doesn’t know her job or is working to have this matter swept under the rug. Disciplinary action needs to be taken against her.
They want the $4-5 M potential error swept under the carpet. Are all of you Fullerton residents okay with this?
