Sweetwater school district board approves Alliant partnership
These people are smoking the stuff that entails both short and long term memory loss. I have specific internal information that totally refutes this supposed "soft"committment to Alliant. The problem is if I out them they might go after me. The DA needs to know how this man lies and where there is smoke there is fire. An MOU in the the case of Sweetwater here is a contract and give me a break. When Cartmill says it is in the courthship phase please this goose was cooked and eaten by that fat ass Superintendent. When you see the face of Cartmill there saying this I have been told it is like seeing Clinton say "I did not have sex with that woman". We are also getting jobbed on this deal. Then blubber butt wants give jobs at Alliant to Sweetwater teachers. We can call it the "Kiss Ed Brand's Ass Club". I have had it. I tried to stay away from comments as it was making me mad. Now I am madder.— May 17, 2013 6:16 p.m.
Another Sweetwater board meeting mired in disagreement
I have been following this intently. The real question is why does this continue to go on in our midst and nobody other than those who write in this blog, attending Board meetings, and community meetings seem to care to do something really. I think all of us who have been pursuing this get rid of Brand and the Board need to figure out how do we do it. I work in the District and I know how. You get at the money and power over elected officials that really matter in the South Bay. The City Councils and then the elected representatives in Sacramento who can make a difference. We can complain all we want but we need to get to the Mayors, Hueso, Block, Gonzalez/Castaneda, Vargas, and Councilmember Alvarez and tell them that the quality and perception of the South Bay region and yes the economy is impacted by our wonderful school district. Otherwise we are just going to be complaining to each other. We need to mobilize and be coordinated. If they (elected officials) don't help us then we let them know we will find a candidate next time that will. We need to have Sacramento lean on the County Board of Educatlon. One among us needs to become a leader and get us organized. I can not do it because I think Brand might be on to me and I can do more damage in stealth mode while a District employee. Please less complaing and more coordinated action!! Believe me that little piss ant John McCann might jump ship if he thinks his "legend in his mind" political career is at jeopardy.— April 22, 2013 7:01 p.m.
Sweetwater District Leaving The CIF San Diego Section?
Okay it has been awhile. This is one of the most eggregious things this pompous fat ass Superintendent has ever done. He has let his ego and desire for power and money (yes after he somehow weasels some type of cushy retirement exit..can you spell disability) for some personal gain. For those District employees who still give him homage and do not say privately "well off the record" well names will be taken and noted of those who blindly supported this jerk. People staff the public we will remember and call you out. A new Superintendent comes in and you will be out if I have anything to do with it. How can you dare even consider exiting from an institution the CIF that is recognized by those who are seeking NCAA scholarship. There is no shame with this piece of crap that sits up there with the disdane for the public. This makes no sense. To make matters worse he does it in a stealth fashion. Think about the kids Ed not yourself. Again I say you Executives, yes the ones I see most every day you better look yourself in the mirror before it is too late and distance yourself. Those in the community know who is all in and who is just trying to survive before he trips on his very small ying yang. Then the real names will be taken and noted. It is not too late to jump ship. I have heard recently those in the audience who speak up from the Bond Chair guy to Ms. Cheers, Maty Adato, Wanda Parise, Fran Brinkman, just to name a few. These are not country bumpkins. To take a member of the audience and call their employer well the District will just be lucky it does not find itself in another law suit. This whole District makes me sick. Just think I used to be your supporter. Hell has nice places for the likes of Ed Brand.— April 7, 2013 10:38 a.m.
Sweetwater school district board seeks to silence opposition
Shirley it is me again. I want you to know seriously the people who blog here I know for the most part are good people. I am not absolutely sure about who Anniej is but 95 sure and she is one of the most caring about all this despite what may seem gruff. She is the farthest from wanting to hurt somebody. Your brother is a horses ass. A big one at that. Please we are here to help you. What an embarassment it must be to have a brother who is such a jerk. Shirley are you reaching out for some help? Love to meet you at least over the phone. We have to figure out a way for Ed to not find out. He has spies or at least I think.— March 24, 2013 11:06 p.m.

Shirley I know your brother. I have got to know who I think is Anniej well maybe not. Anyway What I can tell you is the regulars here on this blog care about the District its students and are probably good and honest people and would not want to hurt you. I finally saw the light on your brother earlier this year. I was fooled well sort of. I should have known. He is a bully. I can only imagine it must be like a living hell. How does he live with himself? The atmosphere at work just is not good. Your brother is a classic person who addicted to power and money. A PowerMoneyholic. Does Bernie Madoff ring a bell? It is an obsession and a belief I will never get caught. Often a fatal flaw. When will it all end? You know us Sweetwater Employees ought to figure out a way to use code to get together to form a plan to expose what we know. Law Enforcement does not look kindly on those who know but do not tell. Most of us know there is more stuff going on. Please respond back. We must figure out some kind of clandestine way to organize. You want to join us Shirley?— March 24, 2013 10:34 p.m.

Wowy this is crazy. You know I gave Ed a chance for years. He's smart intelligent and manipulative as I found out just recently. Who is speakthetruth. Tom Hassey? Is it Richard Nixon channeling through John McCann? Didn't Hitler have the Big Lie. You know repeat something that is not true often enough that people begin to believe it. Kind of like when Ed Brand says its all about the kids. I heard Ed looked pretty bad at the last meeting. It must be those massive Chicken Burritos at Chipotle that are putting on the lbs. Employees are talking. When is the other shoe going to drop. Look to "L" Street. Think Ed and Jesus will look good in Orange Jump Suits. Who will bitch slap who in their cell together?— March 17, 2013 10:42 p.m.

Did you ever think Jesus Gandara would look like a choir boy compared to Ed Brand? Maybe we need a money tree at the next Board of Trustees meeting to collect money for Ed's bail when he is charged with multiple counts of embezellment and misuse of public funds. Embezellment and misuse of public funds is a lot worse then knowing but forgtetting to report those expesive meals on 700 Forms. Who knows what has been hidden with all the shake down of contractors, non-profit adventures, and real estate speculation at public expense. I say we get a rally together at the door step of the District!!! Srike while the iron is hot and that pig who is feeding at the trough. Rather than eating caviar at District expense he will have to get used to bologne sandwiches in jail. I hear the food however is better at Work Furlough. That orange jumpsuit on Ed and is just not his color!!!!!Maybe he can share a cell with the City Manager of Bell. They could swap war stories. I AM NOT KIDDING ANNIEJ BVA ERUPTING ET AL. we need a RALLY!! Let's organize and maybe I can come out of the closet. I can not believe the District has not figured out who I am. There are more than one mole who is feeding me information. Watch out Ed. You would be surprised. You have every right to be paranoid.— March 16, 2013 10:33 p.m.

A brief comment more to follow tonight. Basketball takes a front seat to this corruption. My comments on UT should not be misinterpreted. Susan Luzarro is a true hero at keeping this subject alive. Let me tell you people at our District read the Reader. Ed probably has the IT people send out the storm troopers if we dare access it at work. After hearing this latest whatever you call it-let me just say us employees must watch our back. UT gets more of the Republican crowd to pay attention when they are not celebrating the military lauding the Pope, or bashing Mayor whats his name. I heard the other day from another mole like me that Ed the Terrible has some connections with brass over there.— March 16, 2013 7:27 p.m.

Hooray for Marinovich ONeill and Brinkman! Sounds like a law firm. A Serb(?), Irishman and a German. What diversity. They are true heroes. Where is the UT on all this? I would ask for Dr. Brands emails and phone records on the calls for the citizen. This is out of the playbook of Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon.— March 16, 2013 7:54 a.m.
