Hmm, Patch wanted me to fill something out for Facebook before my post goes through so I guess I have to? does this one go through?
Brenda December 14, 2012 at 03:55 pm
Worked this time and now I have to redo the last one. chit.
Oh yeah, why is everything in this world due to politics or politicians you guys? Always strays to there and I hate it cause we get enough politics. I think I need to renew my pot smoking card and go back to bed the rest of the day.

I just wanna share that I heard people of God said there will be 9-10 richter scale mega historical earthquake hit california. Now God is calling for repentance. Please accept Jesus as your only savior. The mega historical earthquake is a sign of His coming to rapture the church. Prepare the way in an absolute repentance, righteousness, and holiness. Otherwise, you will be left behind and face the great tribulation on earth

Hey Dudette

Can I get an Amen for GC!?
Brenda December 16, 2012 at 08:36 pm
HECK Gal Cann I thought I was the only girl you called Dudette on here.
<~~~~Stomping off with tears flowing from the only thing still pretty on the old gal, blue eyes. DANA--I am newly 53 yrs old, and I have to tell you I have heard this story all my life. I have lived through the earthquake that destroyed my house and took it right off the foundation in Whittier '87. I still believe the big one is coming and the good Lord doesnt have anything to do with it. In case you havent read the scientific books a quake of 7+ is enough to flatten a town and a 8+ will totally level every city within 20 miles of that fault line. The Whittier quake nearly did that, given old buildings too, and it was lowered to a 5.7 I think from a 6.3. KB---tossing in my AMEN for GC just cause he is my hero :)~~~

Somewhere deep in the General Plan Guidelines are references to how often both the plans and theRead More various studies that support the General Plan EIR should be updated. If you think about the rapid growth Riverside County has experienced over the last couple of decades, it is just plain good common sense to require these updates if the document is to remain serviceable. 2003 versions are now 10 years old, and many of the supporting studies in the EIR are even older. It's bad enough when a city or county is forced to work with an old plan, but it is far worse not to have adopted any plan at all. It's much like getting into the car without any sense of direction - let alone a map or GPS.

Bd June 17, 2013 at 11:14 am
It would be hard to prove a negative. Are you insinuating that the money for additional policeRead More protection was wasted? Seems like simple logic to me that increased police presence over time would result in less crime, which would in-turn lead to more tourism, which would bring in more money for the City. Laguna Niguel is ranked every year as one of the safest cities in the U.S. Since there's so little crime there, why do they waste their money on any police at all???
LAKE ELSINORE RESIDENT June 17, 2013 at 12:45 pm
I want to see more cops on the street and I want to know if there was less crime.. I think weRead More need more police and I believe the PSAC is a waste of money, money which could go towards more police (no matter how small).

Maybe when the week is over they can give you an answer... "There will be more deputies onRead More patrol in Lake Elsinore during the week of June 17-23, a sheriff’s sergeant is reporting. The beefed up patrols come as Lake Elsinore readies for increased summertime traffic. “As part of the city of Lake Elsinore's commitment to public safety the Lake Elsinore Police Department will be deploying additional units to enforce distracted driving, seatbelt violators, drinking and driving, as well as other traffic laws, the week of June 17-23,” according to a news release from Sgt. Peter Giannakakos, who serves out of the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station."

EVMWD rates are a crime! Take those darn pensions away and lower our rates. Over paid slackers!

Why not a parade in the streets?
Martha L. Bridges June 15, 2013 at 07:20 pm
Rose, we've had five years of having celebrations large and small with all the trappings ofRead More city-hood that Bridgette Moore could conjure up - right down to spending money the city didn't have to purchase monogrammed M&M. I suggest it's time to ring the bell and then get back to the real work of running the city. That would include doing the essential foundational work that has been skipped over in favor of window dressing and nonsense for the first five years.

That place is weird. Cult like almost in their practices. The holding out the last note of everyRead More worship song to "invoke the spirit" is just totally unnecessary. I was glad to leave.

TY for catching this!!!
Jeff Greene June 8, 2013 at 09:57 am
To be clear, Supervisor Jeffries is not yet in support of charging for parking at the hospital, butRead More supported Supervisor Stone's request to have it evaluated, and is willing to consider it based on the results. In his quotes that day he mentioned that when Kaiser started charging for their new structure, they almost immediately changed their mind because the response was so negative. Supervisor Jeffries' main interest in supporting a study of all the county's parking facilities was to determine whether we could save money on the parking structures we already charge for by going to an automated system, rather than staffing it full time with multiple county employees. We have been told that we are actually losing money on the fees we collect for parking, and if that is true, we want to either switch to a cheaper collection system or eliminate the fees entirely.
Chris Twining June 13, 2013 at 12:55 am
Let's hope not. Charging for parking, especially at a hospital, is disgusting to say the least. IRead More got an idea. Let's see if just one elected official can so SOMETHING!!! other than sitting around trying to figure out more and more ways to separate us from our money. Do you have a clue as to what's going on around you? Do you get out of bed in the morning? turn on the TV? go outside? You are 10 years too late. That kind of thing from elected politicians is over. Stop trying to raise money. There are so many things out there you could be doing to make a good name for yourself, and 99% of those things involve cutting spending. Get to the bottom of some things. Imagine how people would react to that. They would swarm at your feet and hold you in high regard. And if you ever find yourself in the hospital, I will gladly come visit you as long as I dont have to pay to park.
