Popular Oceanside ex-mayor keeps counsel
Ms. Corso, you are lying about this. You absolutely were told that by Jim Wood and his family about how you were no longer being endorsed by him. I will have comment here in the coming weeks in this space about how and when you were contacted. Phil Diehl of the UT was also given the press release the same time I got it. I asked him why he didn't do something about it, and he basically said he had bigger fish to fry. I have been inundated by like seven of your neighbors who have told me about the numerous times they have sued you and won and about how your dishonorable behavior drew them to actively fight against your election. Their words not mine. I will make sure they weigh in here about their confrontations with you and how they were resolved. You shamelessly dogged Mr. Wood at his home after his stroke begging for his support which he did not give to you. What you do in the dark, Me. Corso, will come out in the light. I respect you wanting to illuminate this issue more. As you wish.

This would be embarrassing for Oceanside - story updated
I did call the alumni assn. Victor. They referred me to their database and said that was the only way to find out. Your name did not show up. Also, why are you not in the yearbook? Also, why don't you have a bio like most candidtes? And why don't you tell us what you did in the "aviation industry?" You are running for public office Mr. Roy.

This would be embarrassing for Oceanside - story updated
I just heard from a member of the Oceanside Planing Commission who told me he would be happy to show me a copy of his diploma from Harvard. OK, Victor, maybe the UCLA yearbook made a mistake. Maybe the UCLA Alumni Assn. forgot to list you in its database. Please share your diploma with us.

Oceanside mulling Brother Benno's
It is presumed a security guard who keeps track of loiterers and who logs behavior and then threatens to call police over numerous violations would have an effect. It is good that people who minimalize this into "scare off dirtbags" would never be put in charge.

Oceanside mulling Brother Benno's
At a meeting in city council chambers Wednesday night led by the Chief of Police, the manager of the Oceanside Industrial Park said the park itself employs a security conpany part time. But according to some of the businesses I spoke with, the service is doing nothing to help them with their homeless issues.

Oceanside's middle managers want a raise
Like many others, I saw the pity party parade at the last city council meeting involving whoa-is-me cries and "you are hurting my family" tales from some of the memberts of this managers employees union. Ken Harrison took the bait but unfortunately he left out some crucial details. First, 53 of the 76 employees in this managers union get paid over $100,000. With an upcoming 5% increase, that number will increase to 55 out of 76. Also, Mr. Harrison acts like it is completely normal for city-employed MANAGERS to have a union of their own. As it turns out, it is very UNCOMMON for municipal managers to A/form their own union, and then B/beg for a raise in their name of their deprived children while pulling in $100k. Keep in mind, most of these people don't have college degrees, which they admitedly do not need to perform their duties including sanitation and maintenance, yet they have huge pay, job security, a pension and health benefits.

Main Attraction leaving downtown Oceanside
Wild bill...clearly there was a meeting of the minds between the owner of the property and the developer to sell the Main Attraction property if the money is right. And, clearly, the five story, 300-unit plan would make everyone happy and reach that threshold. This has never happened before with the Main Attraction. Yes, there has to be city approval, etc., before this could all happen. But even if Edrick has not yet sold the property, that does not mean he hasnt reached an agreement with the developer to do so if everything pencils out as presented by the developer and his planning group. That's the way these things work sometimes.

Main Attraction leaving downtown Oceanside
Oh come on. A private dance is a private dance. Its between one dancer and one patron. That is private. It is usually held in a dark part of the room away from where the guy was sitting. Nothing wrong with this, but to say there are no private dances is a lie. Oh, and Susan, why are you also not going after channel 10 and their interview with the city of Oceanside employee?

Main Attraction leaving downtown Oceanside
Jnojr...you make a great point. But the only part I don't get is the freedom of speech part. I mean, what exactly was doing the talking? I mean there was Mr. Ed the talking horse, but are you saying there were actually a talking.....oh....nevermind.

Popular Oceanside ex-mayor keeps counsel
Ms. Corso, you are lying about this. You absolutely were told that by Jim Wood and his family about how you were no longer being endorsed by him. I will have comment here in the coming weeks in this space about how and when you were contacted. Phil Diehl of the UT was also given the press release the same time I got it. I asked him why he didn't do something about it, and he basically said he had bigger fish to fry. I have been inundated by like seven of your neighbors who have told me about the numerous times they have sued you and won and about how your dishonorable behavior drew them to actively fight against your election. Their words not mine. I will make sure they weigh in here about their confrontations with you and how they were resolved. You shamelessly dogged Mr. Wood at his home after his stroke begging for his support which he did not give to you. What you do in the dark, Me. Corso, will come out in the light. I respect you wanting to illuminate this issue more. As you wish.— November 18, 2018 7:52 p.m.
This would be embarrassing for Oceanside - story updated
I did call the alumni assn. Victor. They referred me to their database and said that was the only way to find out. Your name did not show up. Also, why are you not in the yearbook? Also, why don't you have a bio like most candidtes? And why don't you tell us what you did in the "aviation industry?" You are running for public office Mr. Roy.— November 2, 2018 7:10 p.m.

I just heard from a member of the Oceanside Planing Commission who told me he would be happy to show me a copy of his diploma from Harvard. OK, Victor, maybe the UCLA yearbook made a mistake. Maybe the UCLA Alumni Assn. forgot to list you in its database. Please share your diploma with us.— November 2, 2018 12:34 p.m.

Oceanside mulling Brother Benno's
It is presumed a security guard who keeps track of loiterers and who logs behavior and then threatens to call police over numerous violations would have an effect. It is good that people who minimalize this into "scare off dirtbags" would never be put in charge.— October 30, 2018 8:32 a.m.
Oceanside mulling Brother Benno's
At a meeting in city council chambers Wednesday night led by the Chief of Police, the manager of the Oceanside Industrial Park said the park itself employs a security conpany part time. But according to some of the businesses I spoke with, the service is doing nothing to help them with their homeless issues.— October 26, 2018 11:41 p.m.
Oceanside's middle managers want a raise
Like many others, I saw the pity party parade at the last city council meeting involving whoa-is-me cries and "you are hurting my family" tales from some of the memberts of this managers employees union. Ken Harrison took the bait but unfortunately he left out some crucial details. First, 53 of the 76 employees in this managers union get paid over $100,000. With an upcoming 5% increase, that number will increase to 55 out of 76. Also, Mr. Harrison acts like it is completely normal for city-employed MANAGERS to have a union of their own. As it turns out, it is very UNCOMMON for municipal managers to A/form their own union, and then B/beg for a raise in their name of their deprived children while pulling in $100k. Keep in mind, most of these people don't have college degrees, which they admitedly do not need to perform their duties including sanitation and maintenance, yet they have huge pay, job security, a pension and health benefits.— October 25, 2018 11:08 a.m.
Main Attraction leaving downtown Oceanside
Wild bill...clearly there was a meeting of the minds between the owner of the property and the developer to sell the Main Attraction property if the money is right. And, clearly, the five story, 300-unit plan would make everyone happy and reach that threshold. This has never happened before with the Main Attraction. Yes, there has to be city approval, etc., before this could all happen. But even if Edrick has not yet sold the property, that does not mean he hasnt reached an agreement with the developer to do so if everything pencils out as presented by the developer and his planning group. That's the way these things work sometimes.— October 15, 2018 1:29 p.m.
Main Attraction leaving downtown Oceanside
Oh come on. A private dance is a private dance. Its between one dancer and one patron. That is private. It is usually held in a dark part of the room away from where the guy was sitting. Nothing wrong with this, but to say there are no private dances is a lie. Oh, and Susan, why are you also not going after channel 10 and their interview with the city of Oceanside employee?— October 12, 2018 6:57 p.m.

Jnojr...you make a great point. But the only part I don't get is the freedom of speech part. I mean, what exactly was doing the talking? I mean there was Mr. Ed the talking horse, but are you saying there were actually a talking.....oh....nevermind.— October 11, 2018 3:43 p.m.
