Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

     Jim Gardner has a blog/column in the Lake Forest Patch. Today, he posted about Jolene Fuentes, Tom’s widow, and the odd circumstances surrounding a recent vote, taken among Lake Forest officials (the mayor and two city councilmembers) to place her on the Planning Commission vacated by Tim Hughes.
     Evidently, Jolene was less qualified than other candidates who didn't get the nod. (Sound familiar? See links below.)
     Gardner notes some other worrisome circumstances involving possible Brown Act violations and the influence of campaign contributors.
     Check it out:
