He had to resign last week from two State Commissions that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger had appointed him, in the wake of his scandalous comment to SAPD Police Chief Paul Walters after Sandra Hutchens was appointed to be our new Orange County Sheriff.

Are these the worst SAUSD School Board candidates ever- July 15, 2008 Gloria Alvarado (pictured) is running for the Santa Ana Unified School District's Board of Education.

However Alvarado does have a campaign website. You just cannot find it by searching for it. I found that to be the case with her fellow candidate Valerie Amezcua's website as well. Apparently their webmasters leave much to be...http://www.topix.net/city/santa-ana-ca/2008/07/are-these-the-worst-sausd-school-board-cand... Is Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido salvageable- July 14, 2008 Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido is sweating it. He has not faced a well-funded, legitimate opponent since the days of Councilman Ted Moreno. But this November Pulido will indeed be facing off against another elected official, Councilwoman Michele Martinez. And I expect that she is going to give him a run for the money. In fact Pulido's own supporters are wavering. Many of them are unhappy that Pulido has allowed Clowncilwoman Claudia Alvarez to run amok at Santa Ana City Clowncil meetings.

Will Joe Dunn take out Bustamante or will it be "Mr. Patrick"- July 12, 2008 When I first wrote about the possibility of former State Senator Joe Dunn running for Ward 3 on the Santa Ana City Clowncil, some folks on the local blue blog thought it was a nutty idea. But is it Dunn has a great job in Sacramento, working as the head of the California Medical Association. But we all know he has aspirations for higher office, as well he should. It would make perfect sense for Dunn to take Ward 3, keep his day job, and keep his name in the local headlines until Congresswoman...http://www.topix.net/city/santa-ana-ca/2008/07/will-joe-dunn-take-out-bustamante-or-will-i... 2 men shot in Santa Ana- July 12, 2008 Police are investigating two shootings from early this morning and late Thursday night.http://www.topix.net/city/santa-ana-ca/2008/07/2-men-shot-in-santa-ana?fromrss=1 O.C. murder defendant attempts to sever his penis in jail- July 12, 2008 Skylar Deleon, charged with murdering an Arizona couple at sea, tried to cut off his penis with a razor blade while in Orange County Men's Central Jail awaiting trial, sheriff's officials said today.http://www.topix.net/city/santa-ana-ca/2008/07/o-c-murder-defendant-attempts-to-sever-his-... Adios Carlos- July 11, 2008 "Santa Ana City Councilman Carlos Bustamante has quietly resigned from two state commissions he was appointed to by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, after his published remarks last month suggesting that a male candidate for Orange County sheriff could've gotten the job if he had breast implants," according to an article published online today by Christian Berthelsen over at the L.A. Times. Looks like we won't have to write those letters to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger after all! :) Berthelsen...http://www.topix.net/city/santa-ana-ca/2008/07/adios-carlos?fromrss=1 |
