I'm a the only one who finds the timing of the traffic ticket outsourcing story suspicious?
Does anyone believe John & Ken found it one their own?
The OC Board of Supervisors is going to vote tomorrow on whether to rescind the retroactive portion of AOCDS' 2001 pension spike.
A few days before hand, John & Ken magically discover the outsourcing contract, post it on their website and hold the Board of Supervisors responsible and urge their listeners to call the supes.
It seems clear to me that whoever leaked the story to John & Ken led them to believe the Board of Supes was responsible for the contract. That may be why J & K didn't independently verify it.
And who works at the courthouse? Lots of AOCDS members who are angry at Moorlach and the Board.
This isn't just speculation on my part. I have heard from several different very good sources that J & K got the tip from a deputy working at the courthouse. That doesn't constitute solid confirmation, but it rings true to me.
I heard the same thing. Probably true.
Your theory makes sense. I bet that dumb cop really believed the BOS was behind it too...Thought he had a brilliant plan. Ha!

If I remember correctly, JohnKen told their listeners that a cop called their show and spilled the info. Good speculation, regardless.

If you had listened to the tape (the 6:00 p.m. hour of the Wednesday show, available on the KFI web site), J/K just jumped to the conclusion that the BOS was responsible. The "Orange County law enforcement" employee never pointed to anywhere, just saying "some beancounter" did this.

J&K were very clear that the original call came from someone in law enforcement.

I don't care who or where the source came from. The issue was exposed. The listeners didn't like the practice. They raised their voices and where heard. Now the problem is fixed.
