Did we elect Angie Amezcua or Rob Oliver to represent Ward 3?

I am hearing that accident Santa Ana Council Member Angelica “Angie” Amezcua is regretting running for Ward 3.  She clearly was a stunt candidate who got lucky and won, despite not running a campaign.

Amezcua’s husband Rob commented here on this blog when we revealed that Amezcua had been going by her married name, Angie Oliver, before she ran for office.

It is already obvious that Rob speaks for Angie and that she should consider vacating her office and letting someone do a better job of serving the residents of Ward 3.

In fact I am sure her Council colleagues would be happy to appoint Rob to Ward 3, in Angie’s stead, allowing her to return to being a mom and a public school teacher.  That would also show our community that the Council majority supports diversity.

So how about it Angie?  Are you ready to quit yet?  You have already missed several Council meetings.  There is no shame in admitting that you never intended to win and you don’t much like serving.  Walk away now and get back to doing what you like to do.  Why not?

  • why is anyone surprised that claudia alvarez' stalking horse is controlled by someone else? She didn't bother to inform voters about her positions, she didn't walk precincts and she won't serve you on the council. Her husband and claudia are the shot-callers

  • We refer to Angie
    as "Innocente".
    Leave her alone or Say hello to the NSA Propaganda Reaper.
    Live by the Propaganda
    Die by the Propaganda!

  • Hey Art,
    How about a post on the Register ariticle yesterday on the new S.A. City Manager. What a suck up. He claims to have been Cesar Chavez's body guard/driver and goes on and on about how smart our city council is. The really rich quotes are that he doesn't need the money (that part I believe since he's been sucking on the Public teet for some time) but is doint this out of the goodness of his heart. (then why not donate the money you make to a non profit or better yet, work for a dollar a year (like the ex mayor of L.A. did) to help our city budget. Major kiss ass.

    • Don't forget those "travel" expenses are tax free! This guy O'Rourke is no dummy . He's gonna walk away with close to a $350K per year package all for the sake of "change"

  • Funny, Robert "El Merro Merro" Oliver was ready to defend himself and his wife behind a fake name, but now he's silent?

    What does the councilwoman have to say about hubby's act?

  • Good point Carpetbagger! Why won't he turn is esposita loose to speak her own mind? I thought the whole Macho Man stereotype was false but this guy won't let Angie do her own thing.
