Alex, The city says they are not spending a dime on this. The event brings in a lot of cash and that money will pay for the cost of putting oin the event. And not all the Council Members are immigrants. Michele, Sal, David and Carlos were all borne here in the U.S.A. (Wednesday Oct 14 | post #2)
Is it time for ward-specific City Council elections in Santa Ana?
Alex, Honestly I don't see how they can get any more corrupt than they already are. A ward specific system will allow regular folks to run and win - right now only the wealthy or those who sell out to special interest have a chance to win. And wouldn't more debate about citywide projects be a good thing? Right now there is NO debate... (Wednesday Oct 14 | post #2)

Santa Ana to launch new "Bank on Santa Ana" program on Thursday
David, Doesn't it HELP our economy to inject such money into our banks? How is this bad? (Sep 13, 2009 | post #2)
Santa Ana City Council to honor New Santa Ana blog co-editor Se...
Jerry, Two of his fellow Planning Commissioners showed up to attest to the great job Sean did on Planning. And several of the Council Members likewise spoke to the work he did. Even Carlos Bustamante told him he would personally see to it that Sean receive a City Tile plaque from the City of Santa Ana. Sean consistently fought for Santa Ana's working families as a Planning Commissioner. For that we owe him much... (Sep 13, 2009 | post #3)
What would you do to improve Santa Ana if you were the Mayor?
Tony, Good points. Thanks! (Sep 2, 2009 | post #2)
Should we allow more garage sales in Santa Ana?
Tony, "By the way what has the personal background of councilmembers have to do with garage sales?" A lot acutally. If the Council Members are compassionate and have grown up in less than ideal conditions they are more likely to understand the plight of their constituents. (Sep 2, 2009 | post #4)
Why can't we create our own Olvera Street in Santa Ana?
Moreno Valley guy, Pray tell, where were your parents born? I was born here too by the way. (Sep 1, 2009 | post #6)
Why can't we create our own Olvera Street in Santa Ana?
Ray, Actually a lot of Vietnamese folks have moved in. The city is changing fast. And the white residents are dying or leaving. But some are moving in too. This is a unique city. If we come together we could do great things. (Sep 1, 2009 | post #4)

Mayor Pro Tem Claudia Alvarez Calls Out The "Usual Suspects"
Ralph, These Usual Suspects have kept Pulido in power for twenty years. Now that the Register is reporting that he pushed an almost $5 billion contract to a contractor who was the LOWEST rated bidder, are you finally going to open your eyes? And yes, I have plenty of proof that the Usual Suspects are haters. They love to recruit folks for their second-tier "brown brigade." Don't let them suck you in! (Aug 23, 2009 | post #2)
