I have a new feature on my blog where I ask elected officials, staff members, and activists questions. Some of the questions will be quirky but they are designed for my readers to better know our local politicians.
Bob Huber is the Mayor of Simi Valley. I have talked to him a few times during the campaign on mostly policy issues, like supporting the Arroyo Greenway Plan, but I don't know much about him personally.
Mayor Bob Huber:
What motivated you to become a lawyer? What types of law have you practiced over your career? Who is your favorite fictional lawyer.
You can post your answer on this entry or email it to me.
Here are Mayor Bob Huber's answers:
Hi Brian,Happy Father's Day! I hope you have a great day with your family!
Here's the answer to your questions:
#1. After 13 years as a Mortician I decided to help others in need from another direction. What drew me to the law was the opportunity to solve different types of problems for people everyday.
#2. Over the years I have practiced criminal law (both as a Deputy District Attorney and a criminal defense attorney); Family Law; Business Law; Homeowner's Association Law; Personal Injury Law; and General Civil Litigation. My current specialties are Personal Injury and Civil Litigation. I have been a Ventura County Court Judge Pro Tem since 1981 and served as a Mental Health Judge from 1988 to 1998.
#3. My favorite fictional lawyer is Atticus Finch from the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird".
Kind Regards,
Bob
Thanks for participating in this new series of blog posts where I ask brief questions.
Mayor Huber there are 5 or 6 McDonald's now in Simi Valley, but there is not 1 Arby's. When will the people of Simi Valley finally get an Arby's? Doesn't the City need the tax revenue an Arby's would generate and don't the people of Simi Valley deserve to be able to eat roast beef stuffed sandwiches? Free the people Mr. Mayor from the slavery of the Big Mac!
Wendy's/Arby's Group Inc (WEN.N) will sell most of its Arby's roast beef sandwich chain to private equity firm Roark Capital Group for about $130 million in cash.

The Hat is the head of the pastrami mafia.
The government should not be involved in which fast food choices are in town.
Brian,
That's a loaded question all lawyers are fictional.
Then why have a Planning Commission? Why then did the City have a code red team to try and keep Farmers and then work on finding a new tenant? If they should not be involved in saying which fast food places come to town should they also not be involved in regulating adult businesses? The city has an ordinance about where an adult business can be located but they cannot have a say in saying "Six McDonalds is enough already, we need an Arby's." ?
I like Mayor Huber's view on the beautification of the wash. It shows he has a sense of fiscal judgement and what is truly a necessity to make Simi a better community.
An Arby's would make Simi a better community because they could use the sales tax to fix up the wash.
Please do something to keep us out of Los Angeles. Simi Valley is a great little community. Since part of Thousand Oaks is already a part of L A County, why doesn't LA take the reat of it? Help.
They are adjusting district lines, not county lines. How would Simi Valleybeing a part of a Republican district with Santa Clarita change much?
You have to remember that most likely everyone on the Simi Council wants to run for higher office so they are looking at Re-Districting from that point of view.
