Why new Mayor Greg Sebourn is such a huge disappointment to many who voted to re-elect him to the Fullerton City Council?
I REPORT, YOU DECIDE-By Barry Levinson
A week ago I posted an article on The Fullerton Informer website entitled “Fullerton Police Chief Dan Hughes — yet another look (Originally posted June 9, 2014; Edited with a few additional comments on January 14, 2015 including new P.S.), by BARRY LEVINSON

It concerned Fullerton’s Police Chief Dan Hughes.
That post dealt with getting answers to important questions that the chief has been silent on for far too long. Mayor Sebourn immediately removed that shared post and now he has changed his settings to not allow me to post at all on his Facebook page.

I am saddened that questions that he should be demanding Dan Hughes answer are apparently questions that he does not want to be associated with at all. I have been a Fullerton activist for limited government, civil liberties, safety especially for all our children and open and transparent government for the past 5 years. I also endorsed Greg for reelection. Yet despite all this he followed the council majority crowd by attempting to lynch me at an October 2014 council meeting (I believe they call that a piling on penalty in football) without knowing the facts or asking for the city video which proved all alleged misdemeanor charges hoisted against me by our Police Chief Dan Hughes to be completely bogus. However, there has been no public apology or even a simple mea culpa from our new Mayor. It is now way overdue Mayor Sebourn and I will graciously accept it, if you decide to do the right thing.

Now as Mayor one of his first pieces of business in this new-year was
to reassert a 30-minute limit for public comments at the front end of
city council meetings.
As someone, who has regularly attended the Fullerton city council meetings for the past 5 years, I can attest that many meetings had public comments lasting much more than 30 minutes. In fact after the Kelly Thomas brutal death by members of the FPD, public comments many times ran one to two hours and beyond. This is one of the few ways the public has the opportunity to ask questions and to attempt to hold all our public officials accountable in a public forum.
It is my understanding that at the start of each new council, the Mayor can set the meeting criteria including the length of each public comment speaker as well as the limit if any for all public comments. Yet instead of speaking out as the public’s representative and stating how important it is to allow the public the ability to speak before council you thought it necessary to ride rough shot over the public and their rights.
Shame on you Mayor Sebourn for setting rules that
will help limit free speech and the exchange of ideas during our
council meetings.
I recently recalled that former Mayor Chaffee seeing a large group of speakers waiting to speak before the council attempted to reduce each person’s time from 3 minutes down to 2 minutes to try to keep the total time within 30 minutes. I also recall that the remaining four council members all voted him down.
4 more years of this Greg?
Greg Sebourn is the same Mayor who at a recent Fullerton California Republican Assembly meeting lectured about the importance of knowing and supporting the Republican Party platform. I must have missed the part that states it is the Republican Party’s goal to limit our free speech before our elected officials. Mayor you talked the talk at that CRA meeting but you certainly did not practice it at the last Fullerton City Council meeting.
Mayor Sebourn, Conservative Republicans do not limit free speech but rather welcome and celebrate it.
P.S.
I am sure it was not only conservatives that were very unhappy with the Mayor’s need to greatly limit our free speech I hope all of you make your opinions known to Mayor Sebourn at our next council meeting.
Sincerely,
Barry Levinson

Greg Seabourn our current mayor, got up and talked about conservatism and from memory expounded on the Republican party platform at a recent CRA meeting. In this small circle, he talked like a conservative. At the last council meeting of 2014, however, in his first stint as mayor, he must have checked his brain at the door. He proceeded to hand Sex Ed Silva (Sharon Quirk Silva), the most dangerous legislator California ever had, in my opinion, a proclamation congratulating her for her excellent contributions to our community.
Lets analyze them shall we? Sharon Quirk Silva, the former State Assembly woman, pushed for comprehensive sex education for all children k-12, https://thefullertoninformer.com/sex-ed-sharon-quirk-silva-her-pit-of-hell-planned-parenthood-endorsement-and-her-cronies/
She also pushed for the murder of the unborn that she calls access to women’s health, she was the swing vote that gave our children the infamous bathroom bill where boys can use the girls bathrooms, locker rooms, showers etc at schools, voted for a cemetery for dead veterans instead of helping the ones dying at the VA, voted for the the job killing carbon taxes, pushed for illegals to get drivers licenses, pushed for illegals to get free tuition, all the while being instrumental in keeping the web of corrupt radical femisints in town on the offensive against people who espouse conservative, traditional values.
Does Greg remember the public lynching of Barry Levinson where Greg closed by pulling the trap door out from under him, never questioning the outright lies? Another council member went on record and stated that the allegations do not resemble the evidence in the city’s surveillance video. Other upstanding community members also backed up Mr. Levinson’s innocence as they addressed the council pointing out the flat out lies in attempts to frame 2 innocent men and even drag me into it.
As the mayor, has Greg reviewed the videos and compared them to other witnesses and the report?
Has Greg addressed the latest allegations of alleged felony assault on an innocent African American family man by the FPD on MLK day day?

Greg cannot have it both ways. Greg must either stand for the values he ostensibly ascribes to or change his party affiliation like Jencurt Fitzpringle did.
