Will Tom Daly become the new Tom Umberg? (And who knew these two had so much in common!)
Brea blogger Greg Diamond offered a breakdown of the electorate in the redistricted 69th Assembly District today, in a comment he posted here on NSA. Here is his comment, followed by my own analysis:
Population of AD-69: 465,317. Population of Santa Ana: 324,528. So you might think so — but you’d probably be wrong.
Here are the results for the Santa Ana Mayor’s race in 2010: Continue reading
The Occupy American movement is going to congregate in Anaheim, on Oct. 10, from 12 noon to 1 pm, at 101 S. Harbor Bl, to protest Chase and Bank of America.
It would appear that the unions are now involved in this, which comes as no surprise. What is funny is that they are mad at the banks for charging debit card fees, but it was the Democrats in Congress who passed a bill that led to this. Did they really think the banks would just eat their lost profit? Would you? Continue reading
Bad news for Tom Daly, the O.C. Clerk-Recorder who is supposedly thinking of running for termed-out Assemblyman Jose Solorio’s 69th Assembly District. I just got a hold of the “Final Findings by the County Purchasing Department for a Purchasing Compliance Review” of Daly’s agency. This 2009 report clearly shows that Daly thinks he is above County policy, as he continues to skirt the County’s purchasing guidelines, enrich his friends and waste hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Click here to read the full report for yourself.
Here are the “lowlights” of Daly’s shady purchasing practices: Continue reading

Daly and his fellow overpaid government worker pals…
I just got a tip that O.C. Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly is going to be announcing his campaign for the 69th Assembly District today. The timing makes sense as this will allow him to take the stage at the O.C. Labor Day event, at the Santa Ana Zoo, and pimp for votes.
Daly was the Mayor of Anaheim back in the 90’s. In his last campaign, in 1998, he beat Bob Zemel, a Republican, by 54% to 40%, according to Smart Voter. He ran on a platform of hiring more cops, not raising taxes and “beautifying and revitalizing” Anaheim – which is Usual Suspect code for getting rid of the poor and the immigrants.
Has Daly done a good job as O.C. Clerk-Recorder? Continue reading

Assemblyman Jose Solorio’s Communication Director, Carol Chamberlain, contacted me today with news that Solorio had in fact responded to mounting criticism of his proposed bill, AB 350, in a letter sent to the Sacramento Bee. I am reprinting that letter below.
AB 350 Provides Fairness for Low Wage Workers
By: State Assemblyman Jose Solorio, Anaheim
The Bee editorial, Union Bill would tie hands of employers, misses the mark, includes factual errors and is biased. Anyone knowledgeable of AB 350 and who read this opinion would recognize the voice of the highly financed, anti-union alliance feeding inaccuracies to a welcoming Bee editorial board and other newspaper boards throughout the state.

The chisme has it that Orange County Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly is going to run for the 69th Assembly District, a seat currently held by Assemblyman Jose Solorio, who if memory serves correct employs Daly’s wife.
Daly is the former Mayor of Anaheim. I am told that “business interests” want him to run as they don’t like OC Labor Political Director Julio Perez, who like Daly hails from Anaheim.
Where does that leave Santa Ana Councilwoman Michele Martinez? She announced she was running this week. Continue reading
Santa Ana will continue to dominate the 69th Assembly District, in the latest redistricting proposal that is now headed for public comment. The new district map includes all of Santa Ana, for the most part, and just a piece of Anaheim.
The Democrats ought to be able to hang on to this seat easily – and odds are that a Santa Ana Council Member will be following the incumbent, Jose Solorio, to Sacramento. Continue reading
The last round of redistricting deliberations has split Little Saigon into two Congressional districts – and then splits the Viet vote even further by putting Fountain Valley into a third district.
This is good news for the incumbent in the 47th Congressional District, Loretta Sanchez, who now will barely have much of Little Saigon in her district.
Most of Little Saigon is now going to be dumped into a district dominated by Long Beach which means that district would likely elect a Democrat. Continue reading
