Sweetwater chaos reaches Judge España’s court
I am hearing Brand is in the fight wanting to appoint. Hopefully I am wrong but I am concerned. Brand wants this new building and he wants to continue to rule - no matter what his 'I am leaving in October' verbiage states. Let us not forget the warning of well respected Ruth Chapman who once attempted to warn us 'If Ed Brands lips are moving, he is lying'. The community has lost faith in McCann and it appear he too has had his puppet strings re knotted. Looking to him for any help is like yelling into the wind - no results. McCann wants to prove me wrong then have a press conference and recommend the 4 I mentioned to take over the seats. The last thing we need are more puppets, more pay back favor 'temporary' Board members sitting at the dais doing Brand's bidding. Remember Visduh, this is Ed Brand and John McCann we are talking about - and the reason this issue has been raised is due to the fact that the County sent 'NOONE' to court on Friday - WHY????? Are deals being made behind closed doors? One last thing - I believe Winet is also one of the County's Board of Ed attorneys - hmmmmm— May 17, 2014 12:08 p.m.
Sweetwater chaos reaches Judge España’s court
Regarding the hearing - why didn't the San Diego County Board of Ed NOT send their legal representative to the hearing? Is Brand attempting to appoint who HE WANTS. Is there someone at the County who is working with him? Is Brand bullying Ward or working with him? No matter what the case, SOMEONE, should have been there to speak for the San Diego Office of Ed don't you think? As. I stated on the UT, if Brand and McCann appoint who THEY want rather than the community be given the opportunity to recommend who THE COMMUNITY wants - All FREAKIN' HELL IS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE - and it is all going to be aimed at the San Diego County of Ed. Please join me in writing the County Board, each one of them, and respectfully ask why didn't they send a representative to Court? Also voice your opinion on Brand or McCann selecting the temps - we, the voters should have a say don't you think? I can think of a few names that garner respect and integrity - Jaime Mercado, Maty Adato, Karen Janney, Mr. Tarantino. ANYONE WHO IS A FRIEND (or pretend NOT friend of Brand's like Grossman) or McCann's should be eliminated.— May 17, 2014 10:33 a.m.
South Bay political mafia buys Horton ads
One recycled politician after another. No wonder the South Bay is stuck, it's almost like our world of public service has become a recycling center. Time to vote OUT THE OLD AND BRING IN THE NEW!!!!!!— May 13, 2014 7:55 p.m.
Sweetwater chaos reaches Judge España’s court
calbear - as long as McCANNT and Ed Brand sit on that dais we draw closer and closer to becoming insolvent. FOCUS should be on these two - they are dangerous - puppeteer Brand and little puppet McCANNT. *just my opinion— May 13, 2014 4:10 p.m.
Sweetwater chaos reaches Judge España’s court
Ms. Luzzaro: Found it, and forwarded it to you. Based on what I read McCann is looking for the County Board of Ed to send down at least two members of their Board to sit on the dais. He also made a comment that Ed Brands tenure needs to be reviewed, but only after Board seats have been fixed. So here is the 64 thousand dollar question - how many of you believe John McCANNT has even taken the time to read the contract? If we don't give Brand notice by June 15th his freakin' contract automatically renews! The key to us moving forward via McCANNT and Brand leaving. *it appears the NO McCann CANNT signs are disappearing, the many community members who have come together to thwart McCann's future as a CV City Council member are looking for pictures or videos of the roaches involved. The efforts of the community seem to be working, the signs and mailers are accomplishing the mission - a spotlight on McCann's votes, and who he has historically aligned himself with, OH MY!!!!!! Phones are ringing with the request I WANT ONE!!!!!!— May 12, 2014 7:18 a.m.
Sweetwater chaos reaches Judge España’s court
Ms. Luzzaro - Yes, I reviewed it earlier today. Funny, (not really) - for some strange reason neither Ed Brand's performance review or the property purchase appear to be on either Closed or Open session, unless I missed it. Where have these two agenda items disappeared to? Out of sight until it meets Ed Brand and John McCann's pleasure? Hmmmmmmmm IF Ed Brand and John McCann believe this is going to be approved via County Board of Ed votes, they had better think again. We want Brand gone, and do not want any non essential monies being spent until 2015. AND, our voices will be heard! ALL eyes will be on County Representatives temporarily assigned to our seats. Will the teachers/employees of the District show up in support of the community? I certainly hope so.— May 11, 2014 6:27 p.m.
“John McCann and Ed Brand should resign”
bbq - there are not many who have BRAINS and COMEDY skills. If you ever get bored with your job, I am telling you could headline in Vegas - and just think of all the McCANNT material you would have to draw from.— May 8, 2014 1:48 p.m.
“John McCann and Ed Brand should resign”
Looking for prominently located homes to stake John McCANNT yard signs, they can be delivered or you can be met somewhere convenient to you— May 8, 2014 12:57 p.m.
“John McCann and Ed Brand should resign”
John McCANNT yard signs going up all over town - OH MY!!!!! Now all will be able to read the true legacy of John McCANNT as a Sweetwater Board member. Time for the voters of the South Bay to put an end to the reign of John McCANNT!!!!!!— May 8, 2014 8:26 a.m.
“John McCann and Ed Brand should resign”
STOP THE PRESSES - Ed Brand and I FINALLY agree on something- John McCANNT is not a mensa. Well duh!!!!!!— May 7, 2014 5:42 p.m.
