Ed talks out of school
Thank You, the best quote here is "if Ed's lips are moving he is lying" so so true.— August 8, 2015 3:04 a.m.
Ed's gone, but this Sweetwater shenanigan isn't
Ed may be gone but the damage lingers and his SAOS practices are still in place. Ed was instrumental in the ultimate demise of the Ventana National Bank (IO) project in 07-09 when he and Tom Hassey were trying the same gamesmanship with a multi-state four bank startup. Ed was the proposed Chairman for the San Diego Bank Group so nothing is any different here. I am just surprised that the board brought him back and gave him full reign with total budget control.— December 5, 2014 11:20 a.m.
Ed talks out of school
First a thank you to all the reporters and sources who cover this story/topic for the last several years. I think you did a fare and comprehensive job. I am sure you took criticism for it as no one wants to hear oh we made a bad decision. I met Ed Brand and Tom Hassey while consulting to open a group of four banks across multiple states in 07/08. At every corner with them it was cover your ass or whats in it for me. Ed was to be the Chairman of the San Diego Group. As a group they took a significant level of criticism from the regulatory agencies for the lack of doing thorough work as a group. After the community selected Ed to return to education I knew it would only be a matter of time and they would learn again first hand how Slick As Owl Shit he really was.— December 4, 2014 1:24 p.m.
Ed talks out of school
he thinks he is special...at your expense. He is certified SAOS (slick as owl shit) Ed is an ole fashion bully. But all of his insider dealings will some day have to be accounted for. (don't forget his bud Tom Hassey) that's double slick.— April 25, 2014 12:53 p.m.
Cops kick out public from Sweetwater board meeting
His dip shit buddy Tom Hassey appointed him the Chairman of Ventana National Bank (InOrganization) which very quickly became (InDisOrganization) and subsequently failed. The group lost $3.5 million organizing the Bank with Ed Brand as its leader. It would seem as this commentary expresses Ed Brand is true to form.— October 24, 2013 1:21 p.m.
Donna Frye asks Sweetwater school board to make information available to the public
Recently the News 10 team for ABC San Diego discovered a report where the entire school district was due to replace many fire alarms which were already deemed non operational. The funds provided by the State are already set aside but the work long overdue has not been initiated or completed. Ed Brand could not be reached for commit.— October 24, 2013 1:12 p.m.
Donna Frye asks Sweetwater school board to make information available to the public
Transparent stops with Ed Brand at his waist line. If its not of Ed for Ed and by Ed it does not pass through.— October 24, 2013 1:05 p.m.
Donna Frye asks Sweetwater school board to make information available to the public
Remember Ed is SAOS and had some of the best advisers such as Tom Hassey and the former mayor. There is a state agency set up for the purpose of investigating fraud involving public moneys. (SAOS = Slick As Owl Shit)— October 24, 2013 1:02 p.m.
Donna Frye asks Sweetwater school board to make information available to the public
The big ED has an office in this building and I have been there many many times. Follow the money as Ed does nothing that he will not benefit from.— October 24, 2013 12:58 p.m.
National City a long way from Scripps Ranch
When the BIG BRAND moves this fast you can be certain he is covering his tracks and working to ensure his personal interest are protected. Never forget he is certified SAOS (slick as owl shit) professionally. Its been said he has joined the mayors group of spin doctors (Bob Filner) as a financial adviser.— August 22, 2013 6:47 a.m.
