Public employees’ work-related email and text messages sent on their personal devices through their private accounts are public records.
Hangar 21’s Rob Sims and Fullerton Airport manager Brenden Oreilly sit next to each other during a council meeting where the council voted Air Combat USA out of The Fullerton Airport and voted to turn Mike Blackstone’s hangar into a nightclub.
It has been a long and winding road to get rid of a long time tenant at the airport and make room for Sims’s business. According to Mike Blackstone of Air Combat USA, it has been one riddled with crooked deals, lies and potentially criminal behavior. He has filed a lawsuit against the city for Breach of Contract.
One of the exhibits in the lawsuit is the text messages (click the screen shots below) between a city employee, namely the airport manager, Brendon Oreilly, and a La Habra reserve narcotics officer Rob Sims, who leases two helicopters for his aviation business that he wants to expand into an event business (read that nightclub on the tarmack)
At issue are allegations that City officials intentionally lied to Mike Blackstone about the lease renewal date in the wake of his father’s death and an ongoing mutiny inside his company.
