Santa Ana Political Chismes: Pulido regains control

View Comments

• good for him. Looking forward to Monday night.

• Obviously, I was right and you were wrong about the new City Manager. It was clear from the beginning that Walters will be the permanent Manager and Chief of Police.

  For your information Pulido did not regain any power!

  Pulido is Walters puppet. Same as legendary John Edgar Hoover, Walters has file on every council member and Pulido and recently shown Pulido what is in it on him, and trojka.

  Pulido must do what Walters orders.

  Now pay attention again Zorro what I will say.

  There is a third antagonist along with Walter and Pulido in this narrative who will spill the beans to become a protagonist.

  • Not so sure of that Stanley. Pulido and Walters have always had a good relationship, but Pulido is the boss, as far as pecking orders go.

    It will be interesting though to see what becomes of the prognostication in your final sentence...

• The good relationship or good politics?

  Go to the very beginning of Carona's scandal and see who spill the beans and [why]. Wasn't it the best friend of Carona?

  That may give you a clue.

• "but Pulido is the boss"

  Walters is a sworn officer of the law.

  If as manager he find illegal activity in the council, he would not have a choice, his law enforcement oath comes first.

  • cook,

    No one is arguing otherwise. There is nothing illegal going on in our Council so you have nothing to worry about.

• Cook,

  Have you fell from your tricycle without waring the helmet again?

  Carona was a sworn officer of the law too!

  So what!

  • Is this what you mean Fiala?

• That is it.

• Walters and Pulido are making so much money through extorting the medical marijuana dispensaries in Santa Ana :(

  • Easy,

    That seems a bit far-fetched. How exactly did you come to this conclusion?

• Art,

  There are about 60 Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in the City of Santa Ana. They are not allowed to conduct business without a business permit/license, obviously. Well, since there are operating without any permission through the city, they are fined excessive amounts of penalties and assessments every month.

  I have spoken with many Marijuana Dispensary owners. Over a dozen of them have announced that in addition to the monthly fees they pay for operating an unlawful business,they are obliged to make an additional pledge/donation to the Santa Ana Police Department and The Santa Ana Fire Department of $1000 respectively.

  The large number of Medical Marijuana dispensaries in Santa Ana is no coincidence. In Comparison to it's surrounding cities, Santa Ana has about 40% more Store Front Marijuana Dispenaries.

  Many of these dispensaries are within a few hundred feet of many public schools in all levels.

• Well we know that in 1995 Chief Walters was freebasing cocaine in the SAPD lab allegedly to protect children against accidental poisoning during his cocaine sting operations.

  He correctly believed that a pure cocaine is harmless.

  • Fiala,

    Were you freebasing coke when you wrote that?

• FYI, information cocaine is not hallucinatory.

  As to factuality of my comment you should ask Chief/Manager and Santa Ana strong man Paul Walters directly.

  Tell him Stanislav Fiala sent you.
