What a misogynist dillwad, the Space Commander. No wonder you lot can’t stand him. And of course he thought he was being real funny. How long till we see a Bustamante-with-a-bust photoshop Art or Thomas? First I need a Dana with panties on head though.

Carlos Bustamante word of the day: Harassment

Carlos smiles and says, “My wife caught me in bed with my Sancha but that’s ok because I told her that harassment nothing to me.”

18vetern,
Are you high? We need to finish the job now and run Walters out of Santa Ana as fast as we can. He’s a corrupt silver-tounged devil.

At least now he has real motiviation to fight for his job which means we actually might see some attention given to our graffiti, gangs and homicide problems. I still think we need to get rid of him. He’s tried 3 times to leave us in the last 10 years. There’s no loyalty there at all.

SMS,

I want leaders who are willing to lead and don’t want to hide behind a secret ballot. She was elected to make tough decisions and to cast her vote in public. She did not want to do that today.

When she was told that she could not vote in secret she then pushed for writing her vote down on paper and having the clerk read it. She did not want to publicly proclaim her vote. Why?

This is a vote to see who’s gonna be hall monitor for a third grade class. This is a vote for Sheriff of OC. Janet’s gotta do better.

Finish The Job put down the carck pipe and get used to Walters being the Chief for the next 10 years as the City Concil likes the Job he has been doing!!!

How many of the many candidates are already retired?

I guess the BOS was looking for a temporary clean-up chief to clean house for a younger fresh start chief to be elected by the voters at the next election.

Art -

Yeah, but that analysis ignores the possibility that Walters wanted the raise more than the job, in which case, he wins. Higher pay, with (potentially) less stress isn’t exactly a bad thing.

I’m honestly not too familiar with Walters other than knowing he’s presiding over a crime wave over there in SA, but if he’s supposedly nearly as crooked as Corona, wouldn’t he be more about money than power?

I guess I’m just saying it would be Walters’ call to leave since I don’t think the Pulido cabal can force him out, and neither must they if they wanted him to get the Sheriff position so badly.

Once again, time will tell.

I think Janet demonstrated that she doesn’t understand the Brown Act very well and that by even suggesting a secret ballot proves that she lacks the intellect to be effective on the BoS.

Tom,
Rumor has it that the OCS has now stopped giving out CCW’s as the state procribes “for cause” except to those who require it for business. This is of grave concern to those who actually have a need for self protection, outside of a work environment. The OCS was the first in the state to actually comply with state law when it developed a program to review applicants for CCW’s on a flat playing field, without the need to be connected. Not only is it shameful that the program is being abandoned, but if the new sheriff allows this to continue it isn’t going to bode will for the residents of the county overall who share the protective nature that allowing CCW’s brings to everyone. When criminals don’t know who will be an unarmed victim, but might actually be able to defend themselves and others they are less inclined to commit personal crimes in the first place. Both criminal interviews and stats bear that point out.

I would be most grateful if you get a chance to speak to our new sheriff in person that you not only make this point with her, but also let me know what her reasoning and responses are.

Thank you for asking for input.

I am also concerned Sandra Hutchens will change the current CCW policy. The current CCW policy is working well because it is clear, unambiguous and depoliticized. It allows normal, law-abiding residents the opportunity to protect themselves and their family. San Bernardino County residents enjoy a similar, yet more progressive CCW issuance policy. We need to continue bringing this message to our elected officials and the new sheriff. Ms. Hutchens has to recognize the residents of OC will not tolerate a Los Angeles County CCW policy, in which only celebrities and multi-millionaire campaign donors are worthy of the privilege

Dear Ms. Sandra Hutchens,

Please accept our heartiest congratulations on being promoted to the Sherrif’s office at Orange County.
