Don’t miss the 2012 Candidates Forum that will be hosted today,.from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm, by the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, at the Delhi Center, which is located at 505 E. Central Ave., in Santa Ana.

Think Together’s Director, Randy Barth, will be serving as the forum moderator.  The forum is supposed to offer a business perspective.  

Free admission and plenty of free parking.  The event is sponsored by Sempra, the Gas Company.

What a great opportunity to ask the candidates where they stand on the anti-development “Sunshine Ordinance.”  This new ordinance is a sure job-killer!

This is also a great time to ask the Benavides cabal, comprised of mayoral candidate David Benavides and Council candidates Vince Sarmiento, Eric Alderete and Roman Reyna, why they support every single tax increase measure on the Nov. ballot.  How is that pro-business?  The news media reported yesterday that our personal income taxes may rise by two thousand dollars next year – increasing our local and state taxes at this time makes no sense!  This will absolutely crush seniors and others on fixed incomes…

  • It's also a good time to ask Ward 5 Candidate Roman Reyna why he stated in the lsst debate he is opposed to the use of "aloe vera" without a doctors perscription.

    • I dunno what Cactus Jack***, censored myself for your virgin eyes Editor, understood I was sitting on the second row and what I understood was that you don't need a prescription for aloe vera which has medical uses so why should we question marijuana on whether or not it could be used medicinally.

      Finally someone, me, to clear up the confusion from all the morons thinking he is apposed to aloe vera. In other, news Reyna wants Santa Clause jailed! Run the article on that Editor!

        • When Reyna is open to something he is a Libertarian, but when Onofre changes parties because the Democratic Party she belonged to didn't support her she is "open-minded"
          I love your uncanny ability to twist words.

          • What is wrong with being a Libertarian? I happen to be a registered Libertarian.

            BTW, I wonder if Reyna's Neighborhood Association pals know about his support for medical marijuana. Again I applaud him for being so Libertarian but does this mean he supports the Medical Pot Dispensary Ballot Measure? Does he support having Medical Pot Dispensaries in our neighborhoods?

  • "This is also a great time to ask the Benavides cabal, comprised of mayoral candidate David Benavides and Council candidates Vince Sarmiento, Eric Alderete and Roman Reyna, why they support every single tax increase measure on the Nov. ballot"

    Does Pulido appose these? This statement implies that. By his exclusion from the list above that support the tax increases, the perception is that Pulido apposes these tax increases straight across the board.

    The candidates that apposes them are Republican and those that support are Democrats.

    • You're a Republican Lomeli. Do you support these tax increases? I doubt Pulido supports Prop. 38. His good friend Gov. Brown is opposed to it.

  • Editor it doesn't matter what I support I am not a candidate . You claim you talk to Pulido often .....ask him don't guess. You support his campaign and you don't know............No bueno!

    • He is probably at the Delhi forum tonight. Go check it out after you're done filling cavities. It already started.

  • The only tax increase I would support is one on political campaigns, PACS, and the 503 corporations controlled by the political parties.

    After an election, any money left belongs to the public and should be distributed to the local general fund budgets of the jurisdictions where the campaigns effected.

    If there is a deficit, then a 100 percent penalty would be assessed to the candidate personally.
