Council Member Angie Amezcua MIA in Ward 3

We reviewed Santa Ana Councilman David Benavides’ official city calendar, for the month of June, 2013, yesterday.  Today we are taking a look at Council Woman Angelica “Angie” Amezcua’s city calendar – and boy is it empty.  Amezcua represents Ward 3 on the City Council.

While Benavides has spent 90% of his time outside of his Ward, Amezcua has done almost nothing in her own Ward.

Let’s have a look at Angie’s calendar (note that I did not include the City Council meetings as she has to attend those):

  • On June 1, a Saturday, she attended a Health and Fitness Fair that I believe was held at Rosita Park, which is located near  Newhope and Hazard – on the border of Ward 3 and Ward 5, which is represented by Councilman Roman Reyna
  • She attended a joint meeting with the SAUSD on June 10
  • She met with the City’s head hunter on June 12 – probably to discuss the so far failed search for a new City Manager
  • She attended the Mayor’s State of the City Address on June 19 – which is usually held at the Bowers, which is in Ward 3
  • She visited with a representative of the Match Point Tennis Academy on June 25.  That organization is located in Ward 1 – they are at Cabrillo Park.  Ward 1 is represented by Vincent Sarmiento.
  • And like Benavides and Michele Martinez, Angie flew to Chicago to go to the NALEO (National Association of Latino Eelcted Officials) Conference from June 26 to June 30.  I am told the city spent thousands of dollars paying for fine meals at gourmet restaurants, airplane flights, and of course swanky hotel rooms.  Nice.

That’s it folks.  That is all Angie did in June as a representative of Ward 3.  Pathetic.  Remember that she was a stunt candidate who spent no money on her campaign.  I guess you get what you pay for.

We should note that neither Amezcua nor Benavides attended any neighborhood association meetings in June.

  • I am assuming you will not be doing a post on the mayors calendar. But if you do please dont miss the Lincoln Club meeting he attened on July 11th. This was put together by failed council candidate Karina Onofre who announced that Republican Mike Dalati will be running for city council and Miguel applauded to that.

    • I am writing a series of posts about all the Council members' calendars. The Mayor will be included. That was not a Lincoln Club meeting. You are being disingenuous.

  • I'm not sure why you are surprised. Claudia Alvarez put Angie Oliver (aka Amezcua) in the race for Brett Franklin. Angie didn't attend a single debate or walk a precinct. She then missed most of her council meetings and spent taxpayer money on a junket to Chicago. She's consistently MIA

  • I don't know about Angie, but her husband Robert Oliver, AKA EL Merro Merro (on the internet) can be found spouting off at Hollingshead Deli in Orange a few times a week.

    The Wisconsin proprieters of this establishment, while serving decent sandwiches and a variety of beer aren't exactly the progressive types you'd imagine, in fact, I have found the conversation there to be akin to a KKK meeting, rife with racist, bigoted commentary.

    Check it out yourself, just use the name Oliver instead of Amezcua, I get the feelings they don't like Brownies (unless married to a Jewish lawer).

  • Tell us more about Delati.
    And why does Pulido call himself a Democrat?
    Because he supports Obama Gun Control?
    Gay Marriage?

    • Well for one thing you are misspelling his last name.

      As for Pulido, are you saying there is no room in the Democratic Party for moderates? The truth is that there are very few liberals in Santa Ana. That is why Pulido wins and wins handily. Running liberal nutjobs like Benavides and Amezcua against him is hilarious. Please keep that up!
