Didn't we have a scholarship named after him?

Is that Al Tello whose back is to us in the picture?

Wow, do we still have such a scholarship?

Yes, that's Tom Fuentes' man, Al Tello.

Wow, you peeps are such haters and grudge monsters. Corona has paid his debt, served his time and is presumably rehabilitated. You should afford him the same sensitivity as rehab-ed drug offenders caught up in the 3 strikes dragnet.

Dear 4:50 and 4:52: Mike Carona, your hero, will spend the rest of his life enjoying a $200K per year pension, paid by the taxpayer, thanks to clueless dumbfucks who supported him for years against a mountain of evidence that he was corrupt. If you had any ethics, you'd be horrified by the record of corruption in this county. But no. You shed tears for rich creeps like Mikey and then turn around and vote for more of 'em. Shame.

Corona can do all the reformed rehab he wants, he served his time, OK, and ???, for most of us however at IVC, he can do it elsewhere than around us.
