Santa Ana Councilwoman Michele Martinez, The leading candidate for the 69th Assembly District, is issuing a Proclamation at this Monday’s City Council Meeting, to Chris Leo, the Director of Advocacy and Public Policy at St. Joseph Hospital, recognizing his support for Childhood Obesity Awareness Month.
Leo formerly served as the Chief of Staff for Lou Correa when he was both a Supervisor and an Assemblyman. Leo has degrees from the Georgetown University Law Center, Gonzaga University School of Law, and the University of California, Los Angeles.
More than 23 million children and teenagers in the U.S. are obese or overweight, a statistic that health and medical experts consider an epidemic. While obesity rates have soared among all age groups in this country, obesity is a particularly grave concern for children.
Childhood obesity puts nearly one third of America’s children at early risk for Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and even stroke – conditions usually associated with adulthood.
Every September, National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month (COAM), gives elected officials, educators, physicians, and you the opportunity to take a stand and fight childhood obesity.

“Childhood Obesity Awareness”….. Hmmmm
There are some fatsos commenting at this forum, behaving like children and I am aware of them.
So, Santa Ana Councilwoman Michele Martinez, the leading candidate for the 69th Assembly District, when you will recognize that?…. Huh?
I can even get some suntan to fit among your people.
From the SA Council agenda:
“PROCLAMATION presented by COUNCILMEMBER MARTINEZ to Chris Leo from St. Joseph Hospital recognizing Childhood Obesity Awareness Month.”
It doesn’t sound like the Council is in any way presenting “honors” to Chris Leo.
And btw – Ken Lay IS dead.
Silly Junior, the operative word is “to.”
As for Ken Lay, your fellow Republican, check this out: http://www.kenlayisalive.org/.
“Council Member Martinez to honor Chris Leo at Council meeting on 10/3”
Then you headline is a lie admin. – it would lead readers to believe that the council is honoring Chris Leo, which is not true. The honor belongs to the St. Joe program; and kenla… – I mean Chris Leo – is accepting the honor on behalf of St. Joes.
Your headline is deliberatly misleading – it is a lie.
Really? So you spoke to Michele about this, did you? He is their Director of Advocacy. Clearly he spearheaded their effort to combat childhood obesity. Kudos to him and to Martinez.
By the way Tardif, Leo is a lawyer so you better tread very carefully with your comments.

Why did Leo leave his job with Correa? I heard some weird chismes about that.
“Santa Ana Councilwoman Michele Martinez, The leading candidate for the 69th Assembly District ..”
Don’t you mean the leading shill to split the latino for Tom Daly?
“.. Leo is a lawyer so you better tread very carefully with your comments.”
junior is really, really frightened – NOT!
Mike,
You refer to St. Joe’s repeatedly. Most people (at least for the past 100 years) in my neighborhood, near Eddie West Field consider St. Joe’s to be Saint Joseph Church on Minter.
What Does that have to do with Leo?
“What Does (St. Joes) have to do with Leo?”
answer:
“.. Chris Leo, the Director of Advocacy and Public Policy at St. Joseph Hospital ..”
I can understand your confusion wsd – admin’s headline is deliberatly designed to mislead readers into believing that the honor is going to Chris Leo – when actually he is ACCEPTING the honor going to “St. Joes.”
I am getting an award…..Really??
Tired and jet-lagged. I am catching up on trhis news and a bunch of bullshit posted under my “great” handle in recent weeks.
FWIW – Hawaii is still the same, Japan is f*cked up from the Tsunami, and China is more like Irvine EVERYDAY! America need not worry about them!!
Edwin, thanks for getting the mail! See you Wednesday at the Greek!
