Occasionally we hear of local politicos who attempt to downplay the effectiveness of our efforts here at Friends for Fullerton’s Future, claiming “nobody reads the blog” (while feverishly checking it themselves). Despite our hurt feelings, we have continued our daily blogging efforts to bring long-missing accountability and reason to this city.
Last week alone this blog (FFFF) had 8,228 hits. To put that in perspective, Pam Keller spent a year campaigning in 2006 to come up with 10,494 votes, beating out candidate Leland Wilson by a mere 628 votes.
Hello Travis.
Please use caution in quoting numbers of “hits on your blog” as you refer to the FFFF blog and not Orange Juice “hits” in this story. As of now I have not checked with Art to see our actual numbers.
A more important fact is that we know that elected officials at all levels, be it city council members or county officials, check in on a regular basis to see if we have caught them with their hands in the cookie jar. In fact even members of the print media participats with their comments from time to time. Based on the Juice activity on the SAUSD stories they too are monitoring and possibly anonymously participating in our school district related stories.
Sorry Larry, I amended the post to reference FFFF and not OJ.
