Santa Ana Councilman Carlos Bustamante is the subject of a flattering profile in the current issue of Bello magazine (at least I assume it's the current issue, because Bello inexplicably includes no indication of when an issue is published).
Bello magazine bills itself as offering "its readers art, business, culture, politics, photography, literature, fashion, social commentary and much more–all at the level of the top magazines, and it does so with a unique perspective from the Americas."
In any case, it's a nice article for Carlos -- I like the confident-visionary-looks-to-the-future-with-confident-vision pose the magazine photographed him in, and the nice family shot with the Governator, too.
I'm suprised they did not profile the President of "Republicans for Correa" Art Pedroza? Maybe he'll be in next months issue! Ojala que si!

I am fairly confident that we will be voting Carlos off our city council in two years...

Carlos prommotes himself as Santa Ana burns (figuratively, of course). Here is Carlos' list of accomplishements:
1. The City closes its libraries and I do nothing.
2. Gang violence increases and I do nothing.
3. I work for the County and engage in City/Carlos business on the taxpayer dime.
4. I prmote myself as a Republican even though I act like a Democrat.
I want someone who will work, irrespctive of party affiliation. Carlos is not that person.

Hey Jubal: where did you buy a copy of the magazine? I saw it once at a Barnes and Noble more than a year ago but haven't seen it since!

I'd like to see Gustavo's list of most and least Bello in O.C.!

If Carlos votes to approve a new contract for SAFD tonight in a special meeting called by Mayor Pulido, he will lose any hope of re-election in 2008.
Stay home Carlos-save face.

I predict Carlos will vote for the contract after making some lame rah rah speech about how hard firefighters work and say something about the recent wildfires.
