Hometown stonewaller

The OC Register has posted a video of Irvine Valley College “Hometown Hero” Mike Carona repeatedly “taking the 5th” during a recent deposition (concerning a lawsuit). (To see the video, click on the link below.)
His lips are sealed
An attorney keeps asking the Mikester such embarrassing questions as, “Did you conspire to enrich yourself through the power of Sheriff?”

No answer.

Good Lord! How will our colleges be remembered? Home to the likes of Raghu Mathur, Tom Fuentes, and this bastard!

The Brown Act has no teeth. DtB rightly notes in its sidebar factoids the illegal hiring of Goo. The only remedy is to oust the Bored. If a few dozen of you would give up a years worth of weekends to door knock and educate your district you could win at the polls. Otherwise you are going to be singing the same song until he leaves under his own power.

The same way Bill Clinton will be remembered, 5:08, as a womanizing scumbag who had a fetish for stinky cigars.

Actually, 8:47, many of us remember BC as a president who had a brain, and when he was the chief, we had a strong position in the world and had a decent economy. All this with a Republican congress that used the pretext of someone's private sexual behavior to hound him out of office.

W, however, will be remembered as an incompetent lying little rat bastard who did so much damage we may never recover.

After reading about Carona's methods, an investigation into the financial dealing of the board seem to be called for. How did we go from 1 law firm to 6 in under 10 years? How much taxpayer money gets funneled to buddies of the board. Campaign contributions anyone? Three of our board members ran for the Orange County Republican Central Committee. Two board members are lawyers.
