Cory Briggs, environmental ambulance-chaser?
As a member of the So Bay community, I APPRECIATE MR. BRIGGS's efforts - someone needs to look out for the little people. After all, as the lack of voter turn out indicates many taxpayers have lost faith in those we have historically voted into office. Once they win, they seem to forget they are there to serve not use. Corey Briggs, a while back, stepped up to attempt to represent SUHSD against the company managing our Prop O dollars - John McCann and Ed Brand (and others on the Board) DECLINED?????— June 4, 2014 7:12 p.m.
South Bay politiscape on election day
Ah yes, the anti John Mc Cann movement. I donated, just got sick and tired of hearing his self promotional speeches regarding his military service. WHEN HAVE YOU HEARD OF A VET 'USING' HIS SERVICE. Most are silent heroes - proud they served - McCann has a 'canned' speech that the South Bay has heard over and over and over again in the past 4 years. But there is hope - he has a new 'gig' it is his alleged comments to perspective voters recently - 'he has been 'chosen' by God to survive his recent accident because,,,,,,, wait,,,,,,, 'he still has work to do'. Yes Mr. McCann you do, it is called getting a job and relieving us of the burden of your do nothing candidacy as a Sweetwater Board member. A NO vote for John McCann is a YES vote for the South Bay - no matter what party you are associated with!!!! just my opinion— June 3, 2014 5:40 p.m.

WOW, it was almost as if I were there too.— May 20, 2014 9:22 p.m.
Sweetwater chaos reaches Judge España’s court
oskidoll - when it is convenient for them - they do follow Roberts Rules of Order. John McCann being President of SUHSD board OMG - the only thing better in his eyes would be President of the U.S.A. - fortunately that will NEVER happen. If the community has its way - by December 31st of this year his political career will be but a bad bad memory for the voters. How he has gotten this far is simply B. E. Y. O. N. D. comprehension. In my opinion he has become a MAJOR embarrassment for the Republican Party. Fortunately the REAL Party members not only know the truth but quietly are now speaking of it. Their voices put into action via the voting box. True patriots vote for what is BEST for the country, not the party.— May 20, 2014 3:45 p.m.

oskidoll - with all due respect, allow me to remind you what Ed Brand said a few months ago when the meeting was not adjourned. The public reminded the Board of proper protocol and. Ed Brand's response 'I?/we?can do whatever I?/we? want' ( can't remember if he used the word I or we ). Brown Act you say, remember Donna Frye drove all the way down here to graciously offer Brown Act training - to no avail.— May 20, 2014 1:49 p.m.

Visduh - great suggestion! Hopefully word will be passed and signs will be raised. However I am thinking Brand and McCann being Brand and McCann will have the paid security officers either remove them or not allow community members in attendance to hold them up. BUT,,,, we will try.— May 20, 2014 12:33 p.m.
Sweetwater chaos reaches Judge España’s court
Last evening I received an email which allegedly shows a picture of John McCann operating a motor vehicle AND using his cell phone. It occurred while community members were putting out NO MCCANN signs. While I am 64 and I do OCCASIONALLY have recall issues - I could swear there was a law implemented prohibiting drivers from engaging in actions that would distract them and potentially cause injury to others. Rumor has it this picture has been sent to several news sources - OH MY! 'News at 11:00'? Wonder if Joe Little is available? Now I have had such an experience as last year John McCann drove up to me standing on a sidewalk holding a sign - you all remember me commenting about that - at the time he was using his little red camera, the same one he used at the Hilltop meeting. Silly man - childish actions are just that - childish!!!!!— May 20, 2014 7:52 a.m.

Mayor Cheryl Cox has joined with other local Mayors in hosting a community forum - the topic, education. It is scheduled for next Wednesday - so what does John McCann and Ed Brand do? They reschedule our Board meeting next week from Monday to Wednesday A DIRECT CONFLICT Will these two stop at nothing to gag public input? Where is the transparency John McCann speaks of?— May 20, 2014 7:31 a.m.

My personal opinion - I observed them during a couple of the recent meetings regarding geographical representation - one thing I can tell you THEY ARE MOST PROFESSIONAL WHILE I SITTING ON THE DAIS. They, unlike John McCann, look at all speakers when they voice public comment - they, unlike Ed Brand, do not smirk and whisper when community members step up to the podium. I am encouraging as many as possible to attend and voice concerns. It is important that they are made aware that we do NOT want Brand and McCann spending ANY large amounts of monies on ANYTHING that is not used in the classroom FOR THE STUDENTS. Hopefully they will vote to issue Brand a letter - 'you have until February of 2015 - after that it is up the NEW Board to decide if you stay'. If John McCann fails to agree with this, well then we know the fix is in don't we? Neighbors, Ed Brand has spent MILLIONS on two separate sites for a new District office dating back to 2006. Are we going to add a third property or are we going to send the message - you Ed Brand are not the real estate tycoon you paint yourself to be and we are SICK of you spending our monies EVERYWHERE but in the classroom.— May 20, 2014 7:28 a.m.

Visduh you were right - Neylon, Hartley, Jones and Anderson will join John McCann at the dais.— May 19, 2014 7:38 p.m.
