UPDATED: Reportedly Paul Walters is going to negotiate an exit from Santa Ana’s City Hall and won’t be returning to the SAPD. I am told that he cares too much about the rich history of the SAPD and is afraid that if he returns to there the Council will undermine him and hurt the department. Best of luck to Walters, who deserved better than this, after 42 years of service to the people of Santa Ana.
“The Santa Ana City Council was scheduled to meet Thursday afternoon to discuss the terms of its separation from City Manager Paul Walters, which could include a request for a public hearing on behalf of the fired administrator,” according to the L.A. Times.
I have it on good authority that, according to an anon source at City Hall, Walters will not in fact request a public hearing. He does not want to see his family dragged through the mud by the insane City Council members.
He is also said to have scoffed at the suggestion that the Council will be able to dig up any dirt on Walters – a highly respected public administrator.
Walters’ contract stipulated that he must be allowed to return to the SAPD as Police Chief if he is let go as City Manager. His lawyer, Wendell Phillips, told the L.A. Times that Walters may also end up negotiating an exit settlement.
I would not blame Walters if he decided to leave. The Council will stick the taxpayers with the resulting bill.

Nothing to report out of the special meeting. I thought it was going to be a short meeting in closed session, but it went a little long. I think a wrinkle developed.
fox11 news was there to film, but i dont think they got anything newsworthy.
One council member told me as they left that there was nothing to report out so the meeting was over.
I find it strange that the city clerk was not in the meeting, another wrinkle?
Thanks Cook! My sources tell me that the meeting was a waste of time. The Council brought in their liberal friends from Sacred to demean Walters. Digusting!
I am quite curious about the hows & whys of SACReD's views about Paul Walters. Perhaps a journalist will cover a credible piece on what is actually going on here- unbiased and straightforward. Inquiring minds would certainly like to know!
SACReD was started by Al Amezcua. He used to be an adviser to gangs in Santa Ana, according to many LA Times articles. Today he defends gang members in court as a criminal defense attorney.
This organization is filled with crazed leftists who do not believe in property rights. And they agree with many of the inane comments made by Carolina Sarmiento - blaming the local government for obesity and poverty. Simply ridiculous!
Too bad the Gang of 6 will not be forced defend their actions. Art, have you heard that the City Clerk and the City Attorney may quit in protest?
I heard that about the City Attorney. Good move on her part.
It would be a real shame to lose Maria Huizar, our City Clerk. She is very good at her job. But I cannot blame her. I would not want to work for this Council either.
The first day you have posted that Walters is interim manager, I have objected! You have tried to calm me down by saying: "Fiala, it is just temporary" and I have responded "Sure".
In my mine his departure is proper no mater what. I am glad that the council took this step even though I am not fan of your beloved Tinajero and am sick and tired to see Walters shaking hand with Obama at $75K cost and Mill for ass kiss in NSA.
Now we have to remove Pulido!
This Council is lost. Pulido is our last hope. If we cannot take back a few seats in two years I hope he moves on to the Board of Supervisors. He would do a great job there.
Pulido has done noting for Santa Ana in his 25 tenure. Most was done by artists ad Pulido was always in the way of any progress.
Even my proposed beer garden in Santa Ana zoo.
But Fiala Zoo is family oriented and the alcohol is anti family.
Maybe you should take one day your family to Bush Gardens. It is well establish family oriented entertainment inside the Anheuser-Busch beer brewery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busch_Gardens
The Mexicans are not entrepreneurs and Santa Ana will go BK because of Pulido.
You are going to start seeing City staff members jumping ship as they realize the city is going BK and people may be going to jail like in the City of Bell.
No one will want the Santa Ana name on their resume.
Connie,
The Communist sentiments that run through much of SACRED but not all of SACRED are due mostly to the Fascist-Totalitarian behavior of the Pulido-Walters Secret Society. (OMG, I sound like a Fiala ditto)
If the Pulido Walters Secret White Mans Society did not act so Elite and above it all then maybe SACRED would have far less of a public footing.
People don't like Communists, and they don't like Fascists. YING and YANG folks.
This is simple Angie.
I am going to walk you through this whole process and then you and me and Alvarez can all go out to Brunch again.
replacing an elitist white man society with and elitist brown man society doesn't really seem like an improvement, does it?
"People don’t like Communists, and they don’t like Fascists".......... Hmmmmmmm
FYI, Teo Communism and Fascism are not synonymous terms. While the communism is ideology aka OCCUPY the Fascism is a system of government.
Therefore, you can have fascism virtually under any ideology except for the Americanism.
Remember that while in your sleeping bag.
However, people may not like neither Communists nor Fascists but they like to be taken care of which communism and fascism provides, and are willing to exchange their freedom for anything accept the the freedom.
That is very dangerous human property.
"Americanism" is becoming outwardly shaped as Corporate Socialized Fascism, while being controlled by the Wealthiest Power Elites.
Except within the confines of New Santa Ana, one of the last outposts and bastions of true liberal freedom
(With reasonable amounts of editorial censorship and a whole lot of private,city and state sponsored propaganda that is).
This is all to be expected.
There is no such thing as functional Anarchy, or a propaganda-free political establishment.
As for S.A. Occupy, it was only "Communistic" within the confines of a physical commune or compound, not in its basic organizational format or practice. We do not organize by or for unanimous consensus or dictatorial type authority. It is more Socialistic in design, and embraces individual ambitions, agendas and thought while avoiding the corrupting influences of monetary capitalism.
The compound is dead. It was not very functional. WE moved on.
"'Americanism" is becoming outwardly shaped as Corporate Socialized Fascism, while being controlled by the Wealthiest Power Elites"......... Hmmmmmmm
You are not getting it Teo!
The "Americanism" = ideology!
The "Occupy" = ideology!
The "Communism" = ideology!
The "National Socialism" ("NAZism")= ideology!
The "Socialism" = social system!
The "Capitalism" = economic system!
The "Fascism" = governing system!
The "Corporate Socialized Fascism" = system!
You can't mixed up an ideology with a system as the liberals often do by their talking points.
No one can corrupt the ideology by the system providing that people adhere to the principals of the ideology and when you depart from these principles there is no longer same ideology.
Therefore, you can't call "Americanism" an ideology which departed from its constitutional principles an "Americanism".
Currently, we do not practice the "Americanism" but some form of the "Progressivism" which by its definition is unstable ideological motion which relies on other sub ideologies like "Environmentalism", "Healthcareism", "Homosexualism", "Liberalism", "Sexism", "Pacifism" etc. etc. etc. base on which fascistic system can exist and grow like a fungus.
Some day we may come back to the Americanism (a unique human ideological experiment) when we learn that there is nothing better out there.
The Europe is much more advanced in this ideological struggle since it tried many forms of socialism including the "National Socialism" and noting worked. Now they are in last phase of it which will trigger social unrest and the arm struggle.
As to the Occupism vs. Communism, the similarity will pop up when it will have to start relying on some form of the economical system for its survival and then all hell breaks loose and the evil of the communism will show as it did in the Plymouth Rock Colony .
This is where we differ Fiala.
"Americanism" is not an ideology.
You did not make up your mind on that.
Where is the unique idea? ideas? that separate it from any other traditional worship of free-market capitalism? (Economic System)
Was "Free-Market" Capitalism invented in America?
It is a style of system, a style of manipulation.
The Dominant World style still?
A system of mass denial and jingoism.(Secular Consumerism protected by market dominance and manipulation)
It is more of a Crypto - Fascist system than anything. Superficially supported by the competition of "Progressivism" and "Conservatism".
"'Americanism' is not an ideology. You did not make up your mind on that. Where is the unique idea? ideas? that separate it from any other traditional worship of free-market capitalism? (Economic System)"....... Hmmmmmmm
The Americanism has nothing to do with an economy nor capitalism nor any system.
The unique idea of the Americanism is that while a king gains his godly unalienable rights by way of his coronation the USA citizen gains his godly unalienable rights by way of the birth or naturalization.
Therefore the USA citizen is never a subject of the king (government) but he is the king or government.
That is a unique ideology which is contained only in the Americanism.
But that is way above your communist laced IQ.
"This is where we differ Fiala"........ Hmmmmmmm
Obviously, because you are an ideologue, pseudo artist, snob who is using talking points which he does not fully understand which is clearly apparent by your alliance to the immature and childish Occupy movement by the lumpenproletariat.
In contrast I am free spirit pursuant to the USA bill of rights.
Do not let your paint dry!
