Martinez left early tonight. Perhaps she had a party to get to?
Mission accomplished! So many fans of Santa Ana City Manager Paul Walters showed up at tonight’s Santa Ana City Council meeting that Council Members Michele Martinez and Roman Reyna got up and fled the meeting early, breaking quorum and rendering the meeting useless, as Council Member David Benavides was in Mexico and new Council Member Angelica Amezcua was a no-show again.
Martinez has been pestering Walters for years – accusing him of arresting her half brother when she ran for Santa Ana Mayor. That is of course total BS as her half-brother has a different name and he was arrested for legitimate reasons – busting parole. This year Martinez has taken her battle to another level – calling for Walters’ dismissal even though he saved our city from a budget disaster last year.
Roman “Eraserhead” Reyna couldn’t take the pressure tonight!
For Martinez and Reyna to rudely run for the hills and in so doing ensure that the Council could not vote on city business is beyond shameful! I am told that Martinez wouldn’t even look the public speakers in the eye – and she refused to vote on city business – leaving the meeting on purpose so as to hamstring the Council.
Reyna just got elected, barely, and Martinez didn’t face an opponent in her last election. Tonight they showed us their true lame colors. As for their erstwhile allies – Council Members Vince Sarmiento and Sal Tinajero, they sat stone-faced tonight, angry and embarrassed. Don’t they realize that Martinez is bringing them all down?
Is Tinajero beginning to regret partnering with Martinez and Benavides?
The whole Council majority got ripped by the speakers tonight – and they had it coming. Perhaps now they will stop messing around with Walters and get back to the city’s business.
And they better stop attacking Mayor Miguel Pulido too. He recalled Nativo Lopez and I bet he could recall these fools too. They need to be adults and stop their incessant whining. In two years Martinez, Tinajero and Benavides are going to have to face the voters again. If they keep this behavior up they will be toast in 2014!

I some some guy in Dental Office scubs buying a calling card for MEXICO on Fourth Street today:
"Hello, Pablo...err David"
"Yes"
"You won't believe this! A bunch of people showed up at the meeting you ditched, and boy were they pissed".
"Whaddaya mean??
"It was so bad, Michele got scared and ran away, without even a peep, and ROman looked like he could have used a diaper, he was shaking"
(From the background barely coherent drunken female): "Pablo, come on mijo, show me that (unintelligeable)"
"Hey, Hey David, are you listeneing, your plan is crumbling, even Sal looked worried, We're in big trouble man. My wife needs a new Horse......"
"What, your wife is a what?? Que?"
"No no you dummy. Nevermind. just get on that Greyhound or La Estrella or whatever, and leave that hooker behind, I had enough trouble carry water for you last time"
"I'm sorry. See you later Doc".
I just read the OC Register piece on the allegation of leaked information from a closed door session and in it, Mayor Puilido flatly denied violating the law.
However, did anybody else take note that Mayor pro-tem, Sal Tinero admitted having discussions with people who were alleged to have been called by the Mayor. Wouldn't admittedly discussing the Mayor's alleged calls and the alleged purpose of the call violate the closed door policy in itself.?
Simply, if a constituents calls to tell you some gossip and you admittently discuss with "several individuals" the mayor's alledged actions(confirming specifics of the closed door session) then wouldn't that be a viloation of the closed door meeting law. Next time Sal say "no comment",refer them to the city attorney and hang up the call.
Moreover, Sal and Michelle previously stated in the media that this closed door session was a evaluation and not a firing so even if Francisco B. heard the two words "fire" and " Walters" that certainly not the specifics of the meeting, as both councilwoman michelle and soon to be recalled Sal said the meeting was an evaluation meeting.
Lastly, I'm going to try to be as kind as possible but rarely have I seen Francisco in a receptive posture where he would be able to eavesdrop on a conversation.. He is always talking, even when others are talking.
As far as the PD of Santa Ana, well only one could imagine. You could find them at their headquarters at the bagel shop on 17th and Tustin ave. I found more guns at this place than at their station.... Taxpayers money at coffee and bagels (discount please)
