SANTA ANA, CA – (April 2, 2013) – The Santa Ana Interim City Manager Kevin O’Rourke has initiated the recruitment process for a new City Manager by entering into an agreement with Bob Murray & Associates. City Council members are interested in obtaining feedback from the community to guide the recruitment and selection strategies.

Effective immediately through June 2013, Santa Ana residents and business owners can participate in an online survey. The survey will take just a few minutes to complete, and can be accessed at http://www.santa-ana.org/city-manager-survey/.

    Folks,

    In his New Santa Ana blog, Art Pedroza posted an article titled Santa Ana’s temp City Manager wants your input about his replacement so I am imputing!

    Please notice that it is a no brainier that I should be the replacement, because:

    a) I’ll give the city 1 year pro bono contract so you save 0.5M right there;
    b) You know my standing on the Santa Ana’s prosperity since 2002;
    c) I can bring necessary (actual) revenues into the City’s coffer to balance the budget; and
    d) I was the CEO for Digital Media Inc. and the laser light producer for the Laser Media Inc. supporting your entertainment since 1975 til 1985 in various showbiz gigs like the 1978 Anaheim Stadium Star Wars concert with Zubin Mehta and the Laser Media Inc. http://www.starwarsinconcert.com/

    So you have a choice folks to act as an intelligent, high IQ White Europeans or as a Latino-Hispanics, which couldn’t historically govern any nation into a prosperity.

    If you disagree – please name one Latino-Hispanic’s country which is prosperous.

    I do expect your invitation for an interview soon.

    Many decent kisses yours,
