Supes Debating Moorlach Proposal

If you're able, I recommending tuning into the live webcast of the OC Board of Supes and watching their lively discussion of Sup. John Moorlach's proposNew Postal.

Sup. Norby agreed to provide a second for the purposes of discussion if Moorlach would agree to delete the provision exempting supervisors from the proposal. Supervisors Bates, Moorlach and Norby are debating about how the, the proposed charter amendment would deal with the question of replacing a supervisor who was removed or placed on leave of absence.

Now you have District Attorney Tony Rackauckas speaking, with Assemblyman Todd Spitzer and Bill Hunt on deck.

I don't think Sup. Moorlach's charter amendment is going to make the February ballot. The other Supes have too many questions and concerns about the implications of such a charter amendment to want to rush something through a vote today, when they can take more time to think it through and place it on the June ballot if they choose. Sup. Campbell pretty much said he's not willing to put anything like this on the February ballot. Sup. Bates is definitely not voting in favor of it. Considering the battle Sup. Nguyen has been waging to hold onto her seat, I can't see her voting for this.

I thought Spitzer was right on.

I think Spitzer is the biggest grandstander I've ever seen.

[Spitzer made me spit]

Spitzer was flinging the bull and pontificating like he was being paid by Carona...

What's so ironic about Sptitzer trying to "educate" the BOS is the FACT that he was on the Board and voted to drastically reduce the requirements for Assistant Sheriff so Mike Carona could hire Jaramillo and Haidl. In light of everything going on, Spitzer is still willing to carry Carona's water. Why? The man is a pathetic joke!
