Will Tony Rackauckas call a press conference about this?

Will Tony Rackauckas call a press conference about this?  I mean, this is ACTUALLY illegal!

68th Assembly District candidate Brian Chuchua’s campaign website, Chuchua2016.trade — yes, “dot trade; you can do that now and Brian explains why he did so here, although you may have to copy and paste the link — has obtained photographic evidence of illegal actions on the part of his opponent Harry Sidhu.  (Mimi Walters, too.)  OK, it’s not exactly armed robbery, but it is breaking clearly established rules that other candidates apparently at least try to follow.  And now that OC District Attorney Tony Rackauckas has called a press conference over someone omitting the word “former” in a robocall, we figure that THIS ought to be worth at least TWO press conferences!

[Disclosure: one or more staff members of OJB are involved with the Chuchua campaign and may be involved in writing for its website.  Still, news is news!]

The political independent’s website explains as follows:

“One thing you have to know: you cannot post your campaign signs on public property such as telephone polls.  If you do, they’ll be taken down and you can be fined.”

That’s what Brian Chuchua’s campaign was told when our signs rolled out last week.  In fact, Brian Chuchua paid extra for someone who understood and would follow the law.

South County El Pollo Loco franchise magnate Harry Sidhu did not pay to have his signs hung up by someone who understood and was willing to follow the law.

The authorities are being notified and order will be restored to the 68th District.  But we have to wonder: how hard is it to understand that you aren’t supposed to post political signs on telephone polls?  If Sidhu can’t get something this basic right, what else is he getting wrong?  (Besides his mistakenly calling himself a former Mayor of Anaheim in his ballot statement, of course.)

Voters who believe in law and order will punish the Crazy Chicken man at the polls.  But where is the District Attorney on this?  If he can call a press conference to smack the 68th Assembly District’s Todd Spitzer for mistakenly leaving out the word “former” when recording a robocall, then surely he must be prepared to take even greater steps against this sort of serial telephone poll defiling, right?

Meanwhile, Brian Chuchua says:  “MR. SIDHU, TEAR DOWN THESE SIGNS!”

(C’mon, Harry — we paid extra not to break the law!)

OJB echoes these sentiments, perhaps unsurprisingly.  (Sidhu is our endorsed candidate, after all.)  More information is available at chuchua2016.trade: the only “dot trade” campaign website OJB knows of in any primary election in California — and therefore the best one!  Pitches to Independents and Democrats and to honorable Republicans — involving matters of arguably greater significance — may also be found there.

About Greg Diamond

Somewhat verbose attorney, semi-disabled and semi-retired, residing in northwest Brea. Occasionally ran for office against jerks who otherwise would have gonr unopposed. Got 45% of the vote against Bob Huff for State Senate in 2012; Josh Newman then won the seat in 2016. In 2014 became the first attorney to challenge OCDA Tony Rackauckas since 2002; Todd Spitzer then won that seat in 2018. Every time he's run against some rotten incumbent, the *next* person to challenge them wins! He's OK with that. Corrupt party hacks hate him. He's OK with that too. He does advise some local campaigns informally and (so far) without compensation. (If that last bit changes, he will declare the interest.) His daughter is a professional campaign treasurer. He doesn't usually know whom she and her firm represent. Whether they do so never influences his endorsements or coverage. (He does have his own strong opinions.) But when he does check campaign finance forms, he is often happily surprised to learn that good candidates he respects often DO hire her firm. (Maybe bad ones are scared off by his relationship with her, but they needn't be.)
