Assemblyman Jose Solorio Selects Orange County Labor Leader as “Woman of the Year”
Marisol Rivera, prominent Orange County labor organizer, travels to Sacramento to receive prestigious award
SACRAMENTO – Assemblyman Jose Solorio’s (D-Anaheim) choice for his Sixty-Ninth Assembly District’s Woman of the Year is one of Orange County’s most dedicated labor leaders.
“I would like to personally thank Marisol Rivera for her passion to discover the potential in her fellow workers,” says Solorio. “Marisol’s life story and how she rose above her own circumstances to help others serves as an inspiration to all of us. She is special.” Continue reading
OCTA Seeks Applicant for Measure M Taxpayers Oversight Committee
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is seeking qualified volunteers to serve on the Measure M Taxpayers Oversight Committee (TOC).
The eleven-member committee monitors OCTA’s use of Measure M funds and ensures that all revenue collected from both Measure M1 (M1) and the Renewed Measure M2 (M2) is spent on voter-approved transportation projects. The independent committee was formed after the passage in 1990 of Measure M, a half-cent sales tax to fund transportation improvements in Orange County. Continue reading
Liberal Democrat Julio Perez has already accepted the maximum campaign contributions from the SEIU (the Service Employees Union), for his 69th Assembly District campaign. And he touted their endorsement on his website. But the SEIU also appear to be allowing him to use their office space for his campaign office. That is called an in-kind contribution. Perez appears to be violating campaign finance laws by accepting the maximum cash contributions from the SEIU and free rent. That free rent could be worth thousands of dollars.
Click here to see the SEIU’s address in Santa Ana, on their website. You will find that it is 1651 E. 4th St. Santa Ana, CA. Continue reading
One thing that separates Santa Ana Council Member Michele Martinez’ campaign for the 69th Assembly District, from that of liberal candidate Julio Perez, is the ample support she is receiving from local businessmen. Perez is almost entirely funded by unions – the same unions who regularly advocate for more regulations, higher taxes and other job-killing mechanisms.
Local business owners Benjamin Mendoza, Ken Taylor and Manuel “Tiger” Vasquez are in fact hosting a fundraising reception in Support of Martinez on Thursday, March 29th, 2012, from 5:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M., at 710 S Main Street, in Santa Ana. Parking will be across the street at A-1 Muffler. Continue reading

Contact: Cynthia Rosas, 714-839-4976, Jorge Rocha, Candidate for 46th US Congressional District
LOCAL BUSINESSMAN SET TO CHALLENGE LORETTA SANCHEZ
JORGE ROCHA 2012 COMMITTEE FORMS
SANTA ANA, CA – March 15, 2012 – Jorge Rocha announced that he is running for the 46th US Congressional District in the Primary election to be held on June 5, 2012. He believes the highly populated Hispanic-American district is ready to be led by a more conservative, pro-business and pro-education representative.Loretta Sanchez is not properly representing the interests of all US citizens in the district and, is out of touch with the true needs of the community that she now represents. After 16 years of basically doing nothing relevant for the community, it is time for REAL positive change to come to citizens of the 46th District in Orange County. Continue reading
UPDATE: Perez was interviewed at his alleged home by O.C. Register reporter Andrew Galvin, who reported that Perez magically knew what sort of toothpaste was in his restroom and what sort of soda was in his refrigerator. Perez however did NOT provide any solid evidence that he has been living at the home in question – no driver’s license and no utility bills. His residence remains in doubt. Click here to read Galvin’s article.
Remember when Democrat Phu Nguyen ran for the 68th Assembly District, in 2010, and there was a scandal as to whether or not he was a carpetbagger? That may have ultimately cost him that election. Now he is running around promoting his fellow liberal, Julio Perez, who is running for the 69th Assembly District. And guess what? It looks like Perez might be an even bigger carpetbagger!

The OC Commission to End Homelessness voted to encourage the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to give the County and the City of Santa Ana more time to address the city’s concerns, with regard to turning a vacant bus station in downtown Santa Ana into a shelter for the homeless, according to the O.C. Board of Supervisors Chairman John Moorlach’s blog.
Moorlach wrote that “The original recommendation was simply to encourage the County to purchase the Santa Ana Transit Station. In an effort to provide good dialogue, I did reach out to Acting City Manager Paul Walters earlier this week to inform him of the agenda item at this morning’s meeting (Paul is also a member of the Commission). You can see from the Voice of OC what happened after the heads up. For the record, I abstained on the vote because I am on the Board of Supervisors and the Board of OCTA.”

TOBACCO CONTROL ADVOCATES JOIN FORCES TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT YOUTH SMOKING THROUGH FREE SCREENING OF DOCUMENTARY FILM “ADDICTION INCORPORATED” AT YOST THEATER IN SANTA ANA

Some folks take Santa Ana Council Member Michele Martinez for granted, but consider for a moment how much support she has for her campaign for the 69th Assembly District – not just here in Santa Ana but statewide. You see over the past few years Martinez has been very busy contributing to an organization called NALEO (the National Association of Latino Elected Officials) and another one called SCAG (the Southern California Association of Governments).
Martinez is in fact very popular – unlike her Democratic opponents. Sure, O.C. Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly has a following, but so did Tom Umberg, and what did that get him? A lopsided loss to Supervisor Janet Nguyen. I suspect Daly is headed for a similar end. And what about labor hack Julio Perez? The fact is, no one knows who he is. It will cost him a million dollars to develop the name I.D. that Martinez already has!
This Friday, March 23, Martinez’s supporters in L.A. County are hosting a fundraising event for her, in El Monte. Check out who is on the Host Committee: Continue reading
Robert Hammond got 34.5% of the vote in 2010, when he ran for the 69th Assembly District as the Republican nominee. Incumbent Jose Solorio blew him out with 65.5% of the vote, according to Smart Voter. Undeterred, Hammond is at it again this year. This time he is running for the Orange County Board of Education, Area One, after he quit the race for the 69th Assembly District. I believe he is also running for the 69th Assembly District OC GOP Central Committee.
Hammond has centered his campaign around gay-bashing. He has an incomplete campaign website, and you can click here to see his Facebook page. Continue reading

Community: Santa Ana Zoo Walkway Replacement Project Brings Partial Zoo Closure
SANTA ANA, CA (March 21, 2012) – The Santa Ana Zoo is getting new walkways as part of a construction project in late April to replace all of the zoo’s old asphalt paths.

The front areas of the zoo not affected by the construction (the Crean Family Farm, the Exploration Outpost activity center, playground, gift shop, Knowlwood Café, maze, Zoofari Express train ride and the Conservation Carrousel) will remain open to the public during the construction project.
