It is time to Save our City Manager, Paul Walters!

• I like what Alex said.
  That didn't sound like Alex Vega though.

• Any recall websites up yet Art? Let's get those babies rollin!

  • Not yet but hopefully soon!

• Shame Shame on you Art You sold your soul & Dignity.

  As for the Maude Flanders (Simpsons) you can all go around town crying and screaming.

  This is our Town and no one can stop the great changes this city has yet to see in the near future.

  Recall Pulido.

  • Really? That is quite a charge. Perhaps you could tell me where I have changed my mind on any of my key issues?

    Pulido has won handily every two years throughout his career. Doesn't that tell you something?

    Martinez barely won in 2006 and was not challenged last time around. But she was thrashed in the June primary. What does that tell you?

    • "What does that tell you?"........ Hmmmmmmm

      That she is not corrupted by the unions and special interest as was the fatso who beat her by few votes, and;

      That she did not listen to my strategic advise to go after new voters, independent, who did not voted.

      • Perhaps you weren't there when the firemen brought her a birthday cake, at a Council meeting or when the union cops posed with her on a bridge?

        • Sure I have seen all that but so have I seen the bank account statements.

          Art, how much campaign can you buy with a birthday cake?
          I have not seen on that bridge any exchange of money.
          All was just normal interaction of an elected official with his constituency.

          I can't wait for the recall to start because I have my axe in the fray for Susie Young Kim murder by Walters' SAPD13 and no public condemnation from Pulido nor Walters.

          Not mentioning Walters freebasing of cocaine in the SAPD labs for distribution to children under his psychopathic community policing efforts.

        • Well Fiala you really jumped the shark with that comment.

        • Aren't you proud being my mentor.

        • I act. You react. There is a difference.

        • You jump the shark and I follow my mentor jumping the shark too. So where is the difference.

        • Simply stated, you have to come here, to my blog, while I have no need of yours...

• Admin, is it true that at the next council meeting we are going to get a fly over from the Navy Blue Angels and that they are going to bring the Goodyear Blimp over Civic Center Blvd.? "Recall Martinez" Save "Paul Walters" "Read New Santa Ana!"

  • My sources are telling me, Teo, that Martinez will be officially charged with a witchcraft, at that meeting, based on the New Santa Ana investigative blogging.

• Hey Art,
  What is SACBG? I hear they have a meeting on the same night as the Councilmeeting? Are they part of COMLINK?

• New Security Administration,
  We all know that Michele marches to her own drummer.
  But is she really all alone on this?
  Has she gone Sarah Palin Rogue?
  Or is she more like a reckless yet virtuous Whistle Blower that is going to be thrown under the bus by her political wolf pack?

  • Where was her whistle during her first six years in office?

• I am just frustrated at the mere fact of people not looking beyond the tip of their noses. Santa Ana it's greater than that. Only the people in its community will make it better. Enough has been said, change is good. Only by changing and evolving our community will be better. Innovation and new blood infusion that knows the community will help us get ahead. Having more cops and not spending money on job creation (good paying jobs like our neighbors in Irvine) does not make a better living neighborhoods. Educate, empower and you should see the results. Away with the old move in with the new. Time for change

  • Most families in this city aren't going to go for what the reckless, greedy Council majority is selling. Santa Ana voters want safety and security. Going after the man who made our city safer has already backfired on this lame Council.

  • Alex,

    What would YOU suggest?

    To make the kind of wholesale changes you describe would cost MILLIONS of dollars.

    To be frank, a large portion of those you need to "empower" to achieve your goal don't care. You and your social group want to "Empower" them. They have no interest.

    Let's be realistic.

    Not everyone is gonna be saved by the "DREAM". But, plenty of us can raise good families, have enjoyable lives, raising great kids, that don't go on to UCLA and then come back to write about "SANTANA" and bitching about whites in Floral Park. Become a LVN, then a nurse and then......

    Isn't that what most of us did?

• Alex, the "New Blood" in this city is what the people in charge of this city are afraid of the most.
  Our city politicians are supposedly "Dems" ha ha.
  But a far cry from being Progressives.
  and no Admin.
  "Liberal" and "Progressive" are not the same.

  • "'Liberal' and 'Progressive' are not the same"....... Hmmmmm

    They are!

    The bolsheviks, socialists, communists, leftists, liberals, progressives are same people same ideology based on taking money from people who work and giving them to people who do not work.

    Every time the label gets profane they put on new label.

    Now the new label is "progressives".

    • Ironic. By opposing the recall you're siding with the commies...

      • "By opposing the recall you’re siding with the commies…"...... Mmmmmmmmm

        It is called coalition admin.

        I have noting to gain by supporting Walters/ Pulido gang. I have done that for two elections and Pulido never sent me even happy birthday card.

        As soon as I prevail, the coalition will case and I will start shredding the Springsters into a compost.

        • This is about birthday cards? What are you, some sort of Czech Charlie Brown? If you want birthday wishes set up a Facebook account.

        • I would expect more but the birthday card or thank you card would be decent minimum.

          After all I got lot of crapola from you for supporting Pulido.

        • Oh Fiala, you need to let of your bitter past and keep moving forward. Good news! Mateo is going to help you set up a Facebook page so we can all send you birthday wishes.

• You are making a big assumption. Now, let's not forget. Mr Walter was a police chief then. He is now the City Manager. This is totally different arena. maybe he should go back as police chief (that is what families want?) But, he is been there too long too. I believe the person filling his old shoes now is doing a great job too as long as he mentored any of the up and coming

  • What exactly has Walters failed to deliver on as our City Manager? All he did last year was save our city from going bankrupt!

• This is not so much about Walters as it is about The Mayor and the City Council.
  Nobody knows what The Manager and Staff had to do to balance the budget.
  Assuming that the budget was actually balanced.
  The more appropriate question is why does the Mayor have to call on 50 year olds plus in order to gather support.
  Sorry, the child performers do not count as real supporters!
  Where is the cultivation of support from the 20 year olds?
  of the 30 year olds?
  of the 40 year olds?
  Better yet, where is the cultivation of the support from 20 30 and 40 year old Latinos? Cops do not count.

  • LOL! Where were all those people when Benavides got his butt kicked in the November election?
