California Public Record Act decimated by recent vote
No, when I 'jest' you know it. Mr. Cartmills comments on the agenda item pertaining to reimbursement for travel expenses of the BOC's chair has given me hope.— June 18, 2013 11:13 a.m.
California Public Record Act decimated by recent vote
All eyes will be focused on the Sweetwater Board, will they continue to honor public records request. - surely Jim Cartmill, board president, will lead the board and continue to provide transparency and accountability via honoring public records requests.— June 18, 2013 11:03 a.m.
Chula Vista police chief Bejarano to home in on crime spot
FatCatSegat - let us not forget the increased gang violence and the increased drug problem.— June 17, 2013 11:06 p.m.
Chula Vista police chief Bejarano to home in on crime spot
Lived in both Chula Vista and San Diego - total of approximately 50 years. I am aware of Mr. Bejaranos service to the city of San Diego. I see things a bit differently, I prefer to view all of San Diego's city and county residents as my neighbors. Things have changed substantially in 50 years.— June 17, 2013 11:03 p.m.
Sweetwater board candidate has his sign damaged
Brand not only disrespects the speakers but he shows actual contempt for them. Let us consider the fact that persons looking to speak fill out their cards and turn them in. They are then sorted, all cards for a particular agenda item gathered together. The meeting is begun, an agenda item is called and any cards for that particular item pulled - then one by one the speakers for that agenda item are called. The speakers stand at the podium and are IGNORED, then, next agenda item. So, please, can anyone, explain to me what in the hell Brand is doing up there, other than disrespecting the community. Yet there sits board president Jim Cartmill adding to the insult by not instructing Brand to listen. Perhaps Arlie Ricasa might give Brand a lecture on respect since she considers herself an authority.— June 16, 2013 7:03 p.m.

This is the demographic of fellow neighbors we have been missing. The antagonists are growing and rightfully so, we will succeed in bringing about the much needed change for all students in the SUHSD. No longer will we tolerate the corruption that has plagued our district FOR YEARS. http://ellatinoonline.com/news/2013/jun/13/padres… Jim Cartmill, Arlie Ricasa, John Mccann, Pearl Quinones and Ed Brand - WE WANT OUR DISTRICT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!— June 16, 2013 8:59 a.m.

Ed Brand answers to the board, well sort of, and they apparently agree with all that he is doing. Or should I say all that they know he is doing. Lets face it, we have a group who is mired in attorney debt, 500k maybe more. They are not paying much attention to the goings on at SUHSD, instead they are attempting to shrug it off with words of "I am guilty of asking for a dinner for my favorite charity" - really, I have read all of the transcripts the UT has released to date, and based on what I have read the trials will do much to expose the true larcenous nature of this group. It is time for a new board folks, the pretenders like Jim Cartmill, Arlie Ricasa, and Pearl Quinones can retire to the ranks of "when I was a member of the SUHSD board", you know like Mccann does with his "when I sat on the City Council speeches" - somewhat to akin to the stories many of our dads told "you know, back when I was a kid I had to walk 10 miles through knee high snow to school WITHOUT ANY SHOES". Like all of us their families will listen, eyes rolling, mouths yawning, and mind chatter going "here we go again".— June 16, 2013 8:29 a.m.

for the record, Arlie Ricasa has been on the board since 1998. she has attempted to use her position as a spring board for assembly, but apparently the planets did not align and her bid failed. did the planets know, what we are just now finding out? apparently so - NO PERSON SHOULD HOLD THE SAME POLITICAL OFFICE FOR 15 YEARS - OR LIKE JIM CARTMILL 23 YEARS.— June 14, 2013 10:40 p.m.

bbq - while the compact for success was a good opportunity for those students seeking a college education, at the risk of being perceived negative, i would ask HOW LONG AGO DID BRAND ESTABLISH THE COMPACT? i would ask, and what about the non profits that were going to fund all of these scholarships? when i attempted to procure the names of the recipients under 'the gandara' i was told that was confidential. we all know how embarrassing it is to say that our child qualified for a scholarship, we wouldn't want ANYONE TO KNOW of our childs accomplishment would we? oh, but wait a minute, i believe that Brand himself testified to the Grand Jury how the non profit was being abused. well, my, my - i never!— June 14, 2013 8:18 p.m.
