So many Anaheim chismes for you today, where do I even begin?
I know, here: my buddy Mark Daniels was chatting with Play-Mayor Trevor O’Neil at a Memorial Day ceremony at Anaheim Cemetery, a little after all the FBI revelations and Sidhu’s resignation. And everybody knew Todd Ament was in trouble. But we’ve all been waiting impatiently for more shoes to drop. And Trevor brought up his friend, Cabal-Master Jeff Flint: “Don’t you think that if Jeff was in trouble, we would have heard about it by now?” And Mark had the impression that Trevor was trying to convince HIMSELF that we’d heard the last of the FBI.
But re-reading the FBI’s Ament complaint, it’s hard to see how Jeff isn’t in, at least, a large fraction of the trouble Todd is. He’s obviously just as much of a swindler and a liar. Donna and I took a field trip to the Chamber of Commerce, to see the center of power running our city. Just as we’d heard, the Chamber, Visit Anaheim, and Jeff Flint’s FSB Consulting (later re-named Core Strategies) were all on the same floor, and not separated by windows or doors. The day we visited, Flint was busy moving his firm out though. I wonder where they are now?
He’s apparently keeping busy and still running Anaheim from SOME undisclosed location. I’ve confirmed that, as I suspected, Flint ghost-wrote all of Harry Sidhu’s pieces in the Register, and now he’s obviously ghost-writing for Trevor – as see when the Play-Mayor tried to take on Senator Moorlach back in June. Flint is a salesman and cheerleader, his style’s unmistakable, and he’ll be composing all the Trevor for Mayor mailers too.
But apparently not everything is going swimmingly in Flintville, as for some reason he’s selling his $3 million dollar San Clemente home. You can see pictures of it here, and you can even sign up to take a tour of it! Five bedrooms, six bathrooms! I’m reminded of Melahat Raifei‘s tantrum when she realized she and her clients were being ripped off by both Todd and Jeff:
I lost a shit-ton of money..,. At least a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. That’s a lot of money in my life! It may not mean much to the Big Bear-owning, yacht-owning, riverhouse-owning person like Todd, or to you and you gorgeous life, I love seeing you with your beautiful family, but that was a lot of money for me. So there’s two hundred and twenty fucking thousand dollars…
Hard to feel sorry for a guy who was the consultant for Proposition 8, and killed Sunkist Plaza for 10 grand a couple years ago, and what have I left out?
Anyway back to Trevor. He IS running for Mayor (so maybe Galloway will get her Democrat-spoiler money after all.) He’s been walking around the Hills like a dork, telling everyone he’s running for Mayor. I don’t know what trick he’s up to filing for Council District 6, but that only fooled Dan Chmielewski, in his blind hope for a Mayor Galloway. The district 6 candidate will be Planning Commissioner and former Public Works Director Natalie Meeks (right), who’s been getting shown around the Hills by Curt Pringle. (Remember Curt? I told you he never left Anaheim.)
Is it smart, though, for Trevor to run for Mayor while trying to pass an initiative to end rent control in Anaheim? A conservative friend of mine doesn’t think it’ll hurt him (“Most voters are homeowners”) but I don’t see how it endears him to the Flatlands. Or how it’ll even be possible or legal for Anaheim landlords to vote themselves out of California law. I’ll hand you over to Fred Sigala Jr. now, who wrote this blurb and made this video:
What does AB 1482, (the California Tenant Protection Act of 2019”) do?
- Statewide law that went into effect on January 1, 2020 and expires on January 1, 2030.
- Requires a landlord to have a “just cause” in order to terminate a tenancy.
- Limits annual rent increases to no more than 5% + local CPI (CPI = inflation rate), or 10% whichever is lower.
- A tenant may not waive their rights to these protections and any agreement to do so by the tenant is void as contrary to public policy.
Cabal Face Trevor O’Neil’s proposal is indeed “contrary to public policy.” Even if council approved this attempt at circumventing State Law, AB1482 shows there would be no lawful way for owners to implement it on their tenants. The fact that the Cabal is trying to get this proposal on the November ballot anyway, despite an FBI investigation into past attempts at circumvention, (Google PHTFOC Brown Act Lawsuit) for purposes of city asset (Angel Stadium) theft, further illustrates the Cabal’s unwillingness to abide by State and even Federal law.
Please help us report these Criminals.
Call your California Legislator and ask them to hold Mayor Pro Tem Trevor O’Neil and the Anaheim Cabal accountable. It would be illegal to increase the already rising cost of residential and commercial rent in our City. He wants to give private property owners an excuse to ignore State Law so they can try to exploit their already struggling tenants. We must call on them to enforce our state law, AB 1482!

Look Ma, I made it onto the Orange Juice Blog!
Only an idiot like Chemicalewinski would be gullible enough to buy that line. Dummies like that stick to their narrative until the bitter end (the Titanic is unsinkable). The truth is that Gallowy, once again is somebody’s tool, somebody who already has plenty of history of knowing how stupid, ego-driven and gullible the 70 year old teeny-bopper is.
But God has a plan for the former bowling alley owner. Another third place finish and dreams of Jesus a-waitin’ at the Pearly Gates, ready to forgive and forget all her past transgressions..
You wish you could afford this home asshole you will be in a tent in the riverbed when you can’t make $ anymore Losers
Actually I’m pretty happy, thank you!
You stupid fucks Flint’s company folded no employees no clients you are stupid assholes to not know this Dumb fucks
Your point? I know he’s still writing for and running the Cabal, firm or employees or not. And no way he’s doing anything for free.
I would cuss at you too if I were that sort of person.
Flint’s business is done. everyone quit. There’s no core strategies No FSB Public affairs. Its done.
You know nothing about business period because you have zero skills to offer. You are stupid if you think this was a going concern.
The house of for sale to give his wife assets. Jeff is going to jail at some point. Maybe you can offer tips on avoiding prison rape!
You have no clue at all cause you are stupid. …. Dickhead.
Pretty much all what I thought – thanks for the update and have a nice day!
Natalie Meeks?! Really?? She was a lousy public works director – and we have her to thank for the $200 million chrome armadillo too. She ought to just sit back, enjoy her fat pension, and watch the paint dry at home.
Update on Trevor’s big threatened NO RENT CONTROL IN ANAHEIM initiative:
First of all it’s not on the agenda for this coming Tuesday, and the agenda is packed, and this Tuesday is the last time something could be put on November’s ballot, so maybe Trevor had second thoughts. Or maybe he could still shoehorn it in at the last minute – he DOES seem to be full of tricks.
I understand that the plan – a long-term vision of Der Pringle himself – is to show that since Anaheim is a CHARTER CITY we don’t have to follow any state laws. I’m no genius, but I don’t think that argument would prevail in a California court. (Didn’t HB’s Mike E. Gates try it a few times?) But still, as a genius did point out to me, it could rocket Trevor O’Neil to statewide rightwing celebrity – he could be this decade’s Travis Allen and even rake in lotsa money like Travis did!
But even if it did happen – if the 4 or 5 councilmembers this Tuesday vote to put a NO RENT CONTROL IN ANAHEIM ordinance on November’s ballot, I’ve been thinking: BRING IT ON! That would be the best thing in the world to bring out working-class voters. I’d ESPECIALLY love to see Gloria Ma’ae tie herself to that in District 2.
We would see KANSAS IN ANAHEIM.®
Got this via e-mail from someone I don’t know, it’s very interesting and seems to be a response to my above comment:
“You were correct. Curt Pringle had convinced Trevor to put it in the ballot. But Pringle failed to do any polling on the issue.
“After Trevor asked that it be placed on the agenda at the last council meeting, interests in the resort got upset with Trevor and Pringle since most believe it would hurt Gloria’s and Rublacava’s election prospects.
“Still possible Trevor won’t run for mayor. Resort money could just go to council seats and not mayors race. Trevor and Pringle cabal failed on the launch pad. Disney doesn’t want a Pringle involved anymore. Out of step with Anaheim.”
Wait. What? Ashliegh lives in a three million dollar house too?
Shouldn’t that disqualify her??
Sometimes I’ll just print a dumb comment just because it’s so dumb.
Btw, do ALL you trolls spell her name “Ashliegh” or is there really only one of you? I do see you’ve used this IP before.
Yup, I was right. First my intuition was right, and my sources who confirmed this proved trustworthy. I don’t know what the Cabal thinks they got out of this “clever” kabuki of race-switching.
But as predicted they switched it all up today – Trevor is running for mayor and Natalie Meeks is running for District 6! I like this – I think Ashleigh can beat Trevor, and I think my pal Hari has a better chance against Meeks than he would have against Trevor.
It is ON. https://www.anaheim.net/3321/2022-Candidate-List
See my answer to this comment from the other post. You’re probably right — but they’re still playing three-card-Monte with this. Anything to avoid a fair fight — except in District 3, where they can’t really avoid it.
