The City of Ventura has a dedicated group of Tea Party activists.
They had gathered signatures to remove the parking meters in their town under a variety of arguments including it was a part of the United Nations Agenda 21 plan. It was going to be on the ballot but a Judge ruled the law didn't allow voters to choose rules over parking by ballot petition.
Now their leader, Carla Bonney , is running for the city council. Her Tea Party platform has created an energized base of supporters. But it has many critics too. A loyal reader sent in this picture, and there are more to go with it, of a sign placed in violation of The UN Agenda 21 The City of Ventura rules for political signs.
This isn't proof of any wrongdoing by the campaign. Often overzealous supporters place signs for a candidate without direction. Then they get upset when the signs are removed and assume they are stolen.
The City of Ventura has a great website with the relevant city code if you would like to read it for yourself.
I'm looking forward to an exciting city council campaign.








This is getting to be a pattern for Bonney, this not knowing the law stuff. Highly amusing but not so funny when you consider she is running for office in order to make decisions for the citizens of Ventura. Then it's just plain scary.
We must elect Carla Bonney, she is the only one who can stop the United Nations from taking over Ventura with help from aliens that are currently gathering their forces at Area 51. The initial assualt will start in Roswell New Mexico and quickly spread to Ventura with the use of black helicopters and alien spacecraft unless we elect Carla!
You can have a great sign guy . . . and mistakes still get made. Sean the Sign Guy was all over the various city and county rules, but I still had a few bad placements. Marie Lakin straightened me out about the center medians in Ventura. Wait till the other candidates get their signs. I'll send you one of my favorite sign pictures in an email. Can't figure out how to attach it to this comment.
I am, by far and wide, pound for pound; one of the most prolific political sign guys in the free world. Maybe even the unfree world they probably can't put up political signs. I have placed signs that U.S. Congressman have stated "if I lose this election it will be the sign at bla bla bla".
This isn't a well placed sign. It's in the shade. The angles wrong. I could go on and on.
Carla Bonney seems angry to me. She seems quirky, impulsive, and overly aggressive. The city of Ventura doesn't mind quirky as long as it's passionate and creative. The city council isn't always exciting and if it is something's usually wrong. In these tough times I ask the city of Ventura to elecct the most capable. It's not time to be experiment with radical ideas. Or some get back from the Mike Gibson's out there with anger issues towards those on the council today. It's time for experience and talent.
Long live freedom. Long live the Dennert Blog.
Amen.
Communique #2. I have uncovered new evidence that the parking meters serve another dark purpose. The meters are placed over alien spacecraft that were buried in those locations thousands of years ago. The black U.N. helicopters will fly over the parking meters and shoot lightning into them, but aliens will be riding the lighting down into their alien machines that will then rise from the ground to enslave the people of Ventura. This has all been laid out in U.N. secret file #31178396. The time is growing short for us to protect the Ventura Fatherland!
"These Tea Party groups are very conservative. In fact, 58 percent of Tea Party members now believe Joe Biden is a Muslim." –Jay Leno
Carla Bonney is an extremely credible candidate for City Council and I believe she will get lots of votes in this election. The people commenting here are obviously in favor of a continuation of the status quo in Ventura. The status quo in Ventura has brought the City's finances to its very knees, resulting in the closure of a popular City library, closure of a much-needed fire station, and deterioration of streets, roadways, medians, and City parks.
Christy Weir and Carl Morehouse are largely responsible for the demise in City services due to their poor decision-making and the wasteful and downright dumb spending practices they have been party to during their tenures on the City Council.
Carla Bonney and Bill Knox offer us the opportunity to make some much-needed changes at City Hall, one of which will be to fire Rick Cole which is long overdue. Let's do what's best for our City in the November election and hand Weir and Morehouse their walking papers.
The nationwide economic downturn has affected every single municipality in the country. Ventura has a balanced budget and the fire station you speak of will be open again soon, thanks to a federal grant facilitated by Rep. Lois Capps. Ventura has a very good library downtown and two satellite libraries. Sales tax revenues are up. New retailers have come to Ventura and the expanded medical district will bring many new high-wage jobs.
The last thing we need is Tea Party candidates Carla Bonney and Bill Knox to bring their brand of radical extremism to Ventura, or any community for that matter. The Tea Party is a fringe group which the majority of Americans don't approve of. Its influence on certain members of Congress has been disastrous.
Voters want moderate, sensible candidates. That wouldn't be these two.
I find "Reality Check's" comments that Carla Bonney and Bill Knox will bring "radical extremism" to Ventura to be quite humorous. What they'll actually bring is common sense to a City Council that has been fraught with horrible decision-making that has exacerbated the City's economic troubles moreso than any other City in Ventura County causing library and fire station closures and deterioration to the City's basic infrastructure, particularly its streets and parks.
Change is upon us and will be evident in voter turnout in November where we will see changes to the City Council. Out with Fulton, Weir and Morehouse and in with Bonney, Knox and Cozzens.
Tea Party favorite Rand Paul is blocking legislation that would prevent another pipeline blast like the one in San Bruno that burned men, women and children alive. How many more Americans must die to satisfy Rand Paul?! Rand Paul is the same one who had his thugs hold a young girl down and stomped on by jack booted thugs because she was exercising her freedom of speech. It has also come out that the first loans made to Solyndra Solar happened under the Bush Administration. Latest polls also show Obama winning in every swing state.
Suggesting that Rand Paul controls the actions of every person who attends his rallies is typical of the ignorant, fallacious rants that have become commonplace for "Breaking News." This one is so ludicrous that it barely merits a response.
Latest polls show Obama winning in every swing state, huh? Who do they have him running against? Last time I checked, the Republicans have yet to nominate a candidate for President.
Just more of the desperate lies and falsehoods promulgated by someone who realizes his candidate is sitting on a pile of crap that represents his accomplishments over the last 3 years.
"Rep. James Knox, of Billings, raised some eyebrows with a recent conversation on Facebook.
Knox wrote that he wakes up early with a desire to "attack socialists!!!." The conservative first-term lawmaker goes on to ask a Billings tea party leader for some "ammo."
This is today's Breaking News. Once again we see the bloodlust of the gop/tea party. We can only guess at what these jack booted thugs have in store for America if they gain power! Meanwhile Rand Paul continues to block a bill to protect men, women and children from being burned alive in another San Bruno type pipeline explosion.
"Breaking News" apparently has difficulty distinguishing metaphorical speech from literal speech. Congressman Knox was, of course, speaking metaphorically in his comments on attacking Socialists. The context being that we should attack the ideology of Socialism, which is espoused so clearly by Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and 90% of the Dimocrats in Congress.
These kind of intellectual subtleties, however, are lost on the likes of "Breaking News," whose lifeline to reality is drawn from the vat of Kool-Aid that he's been drinking from since 2008.
The tea party nuts always try to lie their way out of their violent and racist statements hoping to fool the voters just long enough for them to get elected so they can unleash their Anti-American agenda.
After reading "Breaking News's" latest rant above, one word comes to mind - Yikes!
Let's not forget that the idiot above uses Breaking Wind because that is the sound he hears everytime he pulls his head out of Phony Tony Stricklands behind. His racist views have been well documented as a member of the loser tea party.
The free-loading public employee union thugs in Wisconsin keep showing us what happens when you try and mess with their lucrative wage-and-benefit contracts and gold-plated pensions.
They are willing to disrupt the flow of traffic in Milwaukee, the opening of the Wisconsin State Fair, and other basic public services in the state to get their way. They have even made death threats against Gov. Scott Walker and his family. This is what happens when you defy the will of the unions in the U.S.
Looking at our local City Council races in Ventura, I see where we have two candidates supported by SEIU and other uinion organizations and individuals -- Danny Carrillo and Ed Alamillo. These two have made careers of advancing their own careers and that of their fellow union thugs at the ongoing expenses of the taxpayers of Ventura County. They are now looking to continue their extortion of the taxpayers as members of the Ventura City Council.
Let's send these two packing, along with their two elected cohorts (Carl Morehouse and Christy Weir), come November!
Re-elect Morehouse and Weir! Don not vote for Carla (Area 51) Bonney!! Obviously the Ventura tea party nuts hate police officers and firefighters as you can see above from the loser breaking wind who got his name from the sound he hears when he pulls his pointy head from Phony Tonys behind! Todays Breaking News is that Christie from the Jersey shore may jump into the race. They say if that happens it will be huge, massive, gigantic, a massive cannonball jumping into a pool and splashing out all of the water, bigger than the Hometown Buffet, bigger than a sumo, bigger than anything, a whale!
Hopefully, Chris Christie will enter the race. But, it really doesn't matter if he does or not. Any Republican running next year will kick the snot out of Obama. Hell, my plumber could beat Obama based on the way this guy has performed. He's clearly not cut out for the job and has made our economy worse with his Socialistic tinkerings with the free market system, the tax system, and the health care system.
"Breaking News" loves to continue with the personal attacks on Chris Christie (which Brian continues to ignore) because he's got nothing else. The continued knocks on Christie's weight by this imbecile just shows you the depths to which Dimocrats have sunk going into this election. Since they can't say anything good about Obama, they are content to knock the physical characteristics of his opponents. How pathetic is that?
The Washington Post and Bloomberg are reporting the Koch Brothers who own the tea party are now under investigation for selling oil equipment to Iran in violation of U.S. law. Hopefully they will be tried for treason and when found guilty they will spend the rest of their lives in prison with the other scumbags! In terms of Christie the terms I used were all from Fox News, the only one who calls Christie "Fat" is the idiot tea partier "Breaking Wind aka Tea Party Loser Tom etc". BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Here's some real breaking news for you. President Obama and his Socialistic Energy Department are being called on the carpet now for guaranteeing $528 million in loans to a solar panel manufacturing company, Solyndra, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September. This was after numerous warnings and signals that this firm was about to go belly-up, including an incriminating audit issued by Price-Waterhouse that warned of the approaching financial meltdown of Solyndra.
Still, the Obama Administration blindly marched forward with the full faith and backing of the U.S. Treasury to support this failing company. There is a 40% failure rate for new firms in the solar energy market, yet the dumb/naive Obama, the ignorant libs in Congress, and their cheerleaders in the global warming hoax community are all ready to sink our tax dollars into these scam-based energy companies.
Can't wait until next year.
Solyndra loans started under Bush and the GOP genius! Bush and Cheney should both be put on trial for this! In terms of failure rates for Solar Firms it sounds like you are saying the private sector cannot be trusted to succeed. Hopefully the owners of the tea party, the Koch Brothers, will soon be in prison for treason after selling illegal equipment to the Iranians. In other Breaking News tea party darling Bachmann is being abandoned by her staff, they are leaving like rats from a shinking ship, she has the smell of loser all over her! In other news Chrisie announced today he does not have the guts to enter the race, his supporters though said he has a lot of guts! Remember in Ventura vote Morehouse and Weir and don't vote for Bonney!
As usual, nitwit Dimocrats, like "Breaking News," try to push off their failings on others. Obama made a personal visit to Solyndra's headquarters in May 2010 where he praised their operation as "leading edge" and "extremely innovative." He followed up with a $528 million loan guarantee from the federal government after being duped by Solyndra executives.
This is typical of Dimocrats. They never want to take responsibility for their actions or inactions. They'd much rather blame - blame - blame. The same thing goes for the economy. Obama keeps trying to blame Bush for his failings on the economy, but the American people aren't buying it. He's in the driver's seat now so he has to own up to his own failings and shortcomings. And he'll pay dearly come November 2012.
As I said before, it doesn't matter who the Republicans run against Obama. Whoever their nominee is, they're going to wipe the floor with Obama. Goodbye Obama! Back to Chicago with you.
You can vote for Weir and Morehouse if you want to see Ventura continue to descend into the sh*thole it has become. Vote for Bonney and Knox. It's time for change!
Obama was given bad advice by the GOP who had started the loans to Solyndra. But it appears we now know the reason the tea party hates solar energy is because through the Koch Brothers they are in bed with the radical islamics in Iran. A vote for a tea partier like Bonney or Knox is a vote for the Allytollah! In terms of blame this is the guy who claims Nixon was not a crook! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Bloomberg reported that Koch Industries benefited from bribes to win business and sold millions of dollars of equipment to the Iranian regime which is known for their sponsorship of terrorism and calls of "death to America."
Charles and David Koch who run Koch Industries are the same billionaire brothers who have fought for taxpayer subsidies for their own Big Oil interests and advocate privatizing Social Security.
Fight back, vote democratic! Fight the Koch Brothers by boycotting all Georgia-Pacific goods like Brawny paper towels! Tell the tea party to get out of bed with the Koch Brothers!
The Dims always need a boogeyman every 4 years to try and get their sorry candidates elected. Whether it's Dick Cheney, the Koch Brothers, or the Man on the Moon, these lame brains are completely unable to promote their candidates on their own merits. Instead, they need to create a fear factor that the country is going to be overtaken by the Koch Brothers, or the oil companies, or the Tea Party unless Obama gets reelected.
What a joke! Completely laughable.
I also love the previous comment by "Breaking News" that Obama was given bad advice by the GOP about loans to Solyndra. What? Since when does Obama take advice from the GOP?
These completely lame, illogical, downright stupid arguments by "Breaking News" and his 10 fake names are the main reason the Dims will lose in 2012. I've already got the champagne chilling...
Let's stay on topic, that topic is that the Koch Brothers who fund the tea party and GOP are in bed with radical islamics in Iran. This is clearly illegal and most likely treason! Appears now that the tea party is actually an arm of the Iranian Guard. Strike a blow against the radicals in Iran and boycott Georgia Pacific products sold by Koch Industries, when you buy their products you are supporting Iran!
No, the topic isn't the Koch Brothers at all. It's simply a diversionary tactic to take the focus off the worst President since Jimmy Carter.
Obama's in bed with Solyndra - a company that stole over a half billion dollars from the taxpayers because Obama was stupid enough to fall for their snake oil show.
The only one who's playing into the hands of the Iranian Guard is Obama with his anti-Israeli policies. That will make it all the easier for Ahm-a-Nut-Job to launch a strike against Israel with the nuclear arms he's currently developing under Obama's nose.
Thanks again, Obama. Your lack of any guiding principles or leadership skills have turned us into a country in rapid decline.
The American people have pointed their fingers at everyone but themselves. At what point does it become our fault? We've had a college drop-out for a Congressman for twenty years should we be surprised things are messed up. I know what you're saying... Steve Jobs was a college drop-out... Look what Steve Jobs accomplished in 20 years compared to Elton Gallegly. Elton Gallegly is no Steve Jobs.
We now know that the main funders of the tea party the Koch Brothers are illegally doing business with Iranian terrorists in violation of the law, that means the tea party is being funded by the terrorists. You are either for us or against us and the Koch Brothers have sided with the terrorists! Maybe this is why Bush and the GOP would not take out Osama and it took a man like Obama to do the job because he is for America!
This fool, "Tea Party = Iranian Terrorists," is a complete idiot. Better kiss your little friend, Obama, goodbye. He will be back in Chicago in a little over a year, reunited with his heroes: The terrorist William Ayers; The racist, anti-Semitic Rev. Jeremiah Wrong, and the lunatic Mayor, Rahm Emanuel.
Bwahahahahahaahahaaahahhaaaahha!!!!!!!!!!
The tea party is now running scared since their main funders and creators the Koch Brothers have been found to be in bed with Iranian terrorists. Meanwhile the GOP losers running for President are busy calling Mormons a cult, this by Perry's Baptist Pastor Jeffers. The tea party also is keeping a racist in power in Orange County on their Republican central committee. In the last week Obama (The man who took out Osama) has jumped to a 10 point lead over any loser republican running! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
The Dimocrats are heavily affiliated with kingmaker, George Soros, the billionaire financier and liberal activist who has been financially linked to LightSquared, which is at the center of allegations that the White House pressured a Pentagon commander to change his prepared congressional testimony to benefit the Virginia-based telecom company that once received a $90,000 investment from President Obama.
Then there's the White House's link to Solyndra, the company that Obama wrote a $535 million check to after the company was personally promoted by him in a May 2010 visit as "a model for government investment in green technology." Then a few months later the company went belly-up and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Brilliant move there, Obama.
The Ventura County Dimocrats are keeping a racist hater, David Atkins, on their Board of Directors after he went viral on his Twitter site and accused some people who were simply expressing their views at a hearing on the proposed redistricting plan of being Klu Klux Klan members.
So, what do you have to say to that, "Tea Party = Idiots?" Nothing of substance, I can assure you.....
Let's do our City a big favor on November 8 and vote Christy Weir and Carl Morehouse off the Ventura City Council. They are both responsible for the terrible financial situation the City is in, resulting in the closure of a fire station on the east end of town and closure of an extremely popular City library. They are part of the problem and certainly not part of the solution.
Cheryl Heitmann has been placed on the ballot by the special interests in the City as a clone to replace Bill Fulton who has decided not to run again.
Vote for Bill Knox, Carla Bonney, and Ken Cozzens. They will bring common sense and fiscal responsibility back to City government!
BE SURE TO VOTE FOR WEIR AND MOREHOUSE FOR VENTURA CITY COUNCIL! DON'T VOTE FOR ANY OF THOSE TEA PARTY NUTS RUNNING!
Bill Knox and Ken Cozzens have no affiliation whatsoever with the Tea Party, so stop making stuff up.
Carla Bonney is a local Tea Party organizer who has actually done some pretty amazing things during the short time she has been involved in politics at the local level. One definitely worth mentioning is the "Remove the Downtown Parking Meters" ballot measure, for which she obtained over 10,500 signatures to qualify it for the November ballot.
However, slimy City Manager, Rick Cole, and his lap dog City Attorney, Ariel Calonne, conspired to have a judge kick this measure off the ballot. What were they afraid of?
They were afraid it would pass, of course, thereby making Cole look like an idiot, as well as the City Council members who voted for it. It's much easier to have a judge sweep it under the rug.
Be sure to vote for Morehouse and Weir and don't vote for TEA PARTY NUT CARLA BONNEY! Rumor has it Bonney thinks that the U.N. and aliens are conspiring to take over Ventura with the parking meters! LOL!
Weir and Morehouse served on the City Council when they made the decision to invest $10 million in City funds in high risk corporate notes with Washington Mutual and Lehman Brothers. No other city in Ventura County made this kind of dumb investment decision. In fact, all the other cities and the County of Ventura have policies in place that explicitly prevent this kind of risky investment.
But Ventura, in its wisdom, chose to roll the dice and thus lost $10 million of taxpayer funds that could have been used to keep some critical services funded after the economy tanked.
Weir and Morehouse need to be held accountable for their actions. Vote them both out on November 8!
Morehouse and Weir are the right choice on election day, don't let the tea party nuts turn Ventura into a 3rd world sh*thole the way they turned Texas into a sh*thole!
This imbecile provides no reason whatsoever to reelect these two losers. I have provided just one reason not to, but there are plenty more.
These two have helped turn Ventura into a third world city already with their horrible decision-making. One look around at the City streets, the street medians, and parks and you can see how they've allowed the City to turn into crap in just a short period of time.
They were also responsible for shutting down a much-needed fire station on the east end of town and the ever-popular Wright Libary. They did this while at the same time voting to give firefighters pension enhancements which cost the City millions during a period of economic decline. Clearly, this was done to ensure public safety union support for their reelection campaigns.
These two care nothing about the welfare of the City and its residents. All they care about is getting reelected so they can continue to rape and pillage the taxpayers to support their union buddies and allow our once lovely City to continue its spiral downward.
This will be an easy voting decision for me on November 8!
Mike Gibson and Carla Booney are the only ones that can save us from the aliens.
Mike Gibson and Carla Booney are the only ones that can save us from the aliens.
From the illegal aliens? I sure hope so....
Speaking of illegal aliens it was great when Rice-a-Romney said "I told the firm I was running for office so having all those illegals working in my yard would not look good, sure I knew about it for a year, but I only acted when I realized that it could hurt me in running for Pres." Romney leads a pack of total losers in the race to see who loses to Obama! Tea party gal Bachmann said, "First Obama put us in Libya and now in Africa." Libya is in Africa brainiac! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VOTE FOR MOREHOUSE AND WEIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This same loser cannot provide any good reasons to vote for Weir and Morehouse, so he continually tries to steer the conversation to the Republican presidential debates.
Give us one good reason why Ventura voters should reelect Weir and Morehouse. Just one good reason! I dare you!
The best reason to vote for Morehouse and Weir is because they are not tea party nuts who believe the parking meters are laying the groundwork for a combined force of the U.N. and martians to invade Ventura! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
That's not a reason to vote for these two walking catastrophes. It may be a reason not to vote for other candidates, but it says nothing about why Weir and Morehouse should be reelected. Nothing!
Apparently, there are no good reasons, as this mental midget continues to prove for us. Thanks for continuing to prove my point. And you will also need to tender your resignation, effective Nov. 9, 2011, as campaign manager for Christy Weir and Carl Morehouse.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!!!
Plenty of good reasons to re-elect Weir and Morehouse. From the VC Reporter:
Carl Morehouse — longtime public servant
Carl Morehouse is a man of detail. With his background working as a planner for government for 30 years and his 12 years sitting on the council, very little gets past him. If you want to get into the nitty gritty of government function, Morehouse will give you an earful. His institutional knowledge and experience working, not only on the city level, but also with various state committees, makes him the right person to continue as councilmember.
To date, Morehouse’s accomplishments on the council include the efforts for the beautification of downtown; infrastructure improvements, including better access for people with disabilities; better signage for upcoming projects; and revising the housing allocation program to better accommodate all income types.
We hope that Morehouse will keep a watchful eye on Ventura’s budget and how monies are being spent so that the council can avoid various problems such as closing important facilities. He admits remorse about the 911 fee, so we feel he will avoid such a mistake in the future. He also demonstrated strong leadership qualities in voting against pay and pension increases for firefighters, even risking losing their endorsement, though he secured it this election season.
We endorse Morehouse with the hope that he will continue working toward improving the quality of life for residents and that the time he gives to various other committees, such as Ventura Council of Governments and the League of California Cities, will be fruitful for the city of Ventura.
Christy Weir — keeping the balance
For the last eight years, Christy Weir has stood her ground, not only as a leader with a passion for balance, but as the only woman on the council. She is known for being diplomatic and, some may say (she even said it herself), motherly qualities.
As a councilmember, her reach has been felt throughout the city. She founded the Serra Cross Conservancy, which has kept the ideal location open to visitors. She was also one of the founding members of Downtown Ventura Organization and has consistently kept a watchful eye on the happenings in the area while seeking solutions to solve problems to maintain a healthy district, including putting an end to aggressive panhandling. Her goals include working on the vagrancy issues, deferred maintenance throughout the city and improving Seaward Avenue business district.
Weir has demonstrated that she is capable of being a good leader, even when the odds are against her, including going against the majority of the council on pay and pension increases for firefighters at the onset of the economic meltdown. As a voice of reason and playing the watchdog for better amenities for families, we feel she is a valuable member of the community and should remain on the council.
You left out one of the VC Reporter's endorsements:
Bill Knox — a fresh perspective
We have been following Bill Knox through the last two election cycles. We didn’t feel he was prepared to take a seat on the council the first time around, this year we decided that Knox’s perspective might be a refreshing change at City Hall. Although endorsed by factions we don’t agree with (Tea Party, Republican), these positions are supposed to be nonpartisan and we like this guy.
Over the last few years, Venturans have been fairly vocal about their feelings on the way the city has been run. The main issue — the city isn’t managing its finances very well. With the failure of the half-cent sales tax initiative in 2009, residents maintained that they didn’t feel the money would be spent effectively and efficiently. The closure of Fire Station 4 and the Wright Library and the discontinuation of the gang unit with the Ventura Police Department, among other public services and programs, left locals frustrated about the city’s ongoing budget issues. With Knox on the council, however, with his background as a tax attorney and his work with the Ventura County Taxpayer’s Association, we feel that he may have the expertise to scrutinize the budget and save vital services without asking more from area residents.
While Knox hasn’t personally tried to overhaul the city’s budget and work on labor contracts, he brings up some good points. For instance, why did the city pay $89,000 to install the Palomar Gate near Ventura High School? He also questioned spending $320,000 on a wheelchair ramp at City Hall. While city officials didn’t discuss the high cost when they voted unanimously to approve it last month, Knox feels such expenditures need to be thoroughly investigated and talked about in a public forum before voting on them. He also feels that city employees should pay the full nine percent toward their retirement. Labor negotiations are difficult but are still needed to avoid an unsustainable future.
Having lived in Ventura for 21 years, and most recently, living on the East End and serving on the East Ventura Community Council, he seems to have a handle on local issues and Ventura’s evolution. We hope Knox, if elected, will be the budget watchdog he promises to be and a voice for a community that is not represented now.
The VCPLL Poll currently has Weir and Morehouse ahead with Bonney in last place, Knox is in 3rd. Next poll update in 72 hours.
Correction, Heitman in 3rd place.
No such poll exists, otherwise "Polls" would have provided a link to it. This is just wishful thinking on his part.
I see Bill Knox getting elected and Carla Bonney doing very well too.
Cheryl Heitmann has lived in Ventura for less than a year and she considers herself qualified to serve on the City Council? I don't think so! She is merely a plant by the liberal majority on the Shitty Council to pick up where Bill Fulton left off. She will come in fifth or sixth.
The Star has endorsed MOREHOUSE, WEIR AND HEITMANN! So long Bonney and Knox, maybe you can get a ride back to Area 51! LMAO!
The Red Star has been wrong many times before with their endorsements. In 2009, they endorsed Ken Cozzens - who lost. In 2007, they endorsed Doug Halter - who lost.
I think Bill Knox and Carla Bonney are going to do quite well in this election. The people in Ventura are fed up with what's been going on at City Hall.
A lot of negative stuff has occurred since the last election, including: a closed library; a closed fire station; pension enhancements granted to firefighters while other city employees are being laid off; the City Council's endorsement of pulling the parking meter measure off the ballot so that the people could decide the issue; bad decisions regarding service cuts (letting the parks go to hell and the street medians turn into jungles); and much, much more...
Looks like Bonney and Knox are in the 1% because that is how much of the vote they will both be getting! HAHAHAHA!!!!!
We'll see, loser. People in Ventura are not inclined to reelect people who closed their library, closed their fire station, and denied a much-needed senior housing development project after the Planning Commission and Design Review Committee had approved it with flying colors.
The developers are now suing the City for breach of faith and I hope they wins big bucks in the settlement. That will teach these lame brains that they can't continue denying property owners the right to use their property as is provided for in the Constitution. Rick Cole needs to be sent packing too for his role in this debacle (and many others over the years).
When Morehouse, Weir and Heitman win I expect you to go to the first meeting they are at and bow down to them loser and apologize for being a looney.
I will be happy to attend the first meeting for our newly-elected Councilman Knox and Councilwoman Bonney. Morehouse and Weir are responsible for Ventura's demise from a once great city to one that its citizens hardly recognize anymore.
Cheryl Heitmann has lived in Ventura for less than a year. She has no business even running for City Council. The only reason her name is on the ballot is the establishment/insiders at City Hall decided that she was the best person to carry on the crappy policy-making of Bill Fulton who bailed because he could read the writing on the wall.
Carl Morehouse and Christy Weir are part of the problem. They will both be seeking other offices after November 8th. Good riddance!!!
