Have the recent revelations about Arnold cheating on Maria surprise anyone? Revelations about his womanizing came out during the Davis recall but everyone pretended it wasn’t true. He was said to be a terror towards women while on movie sets. I’m just glad Maria isn’t one of those “stand by your man” kinda women, at least not once she was no longer California’s first lady. She sure dumped him fast when she lost that title.
We hear that Governor Schwarzenegger reduced the prison sentence of former Speaker of the Assembly Fabian Núñez’ son from 16 years to 7 years. Earlier this year, Núñez and an accomplice pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the stabbing death of a college student at San Diego State University.
Patty Aguiar, who replaced her husband Fred Aguiar on the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, was just given a last-minute appointment to the Board of Veterinary Medicine by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was expected to make approximately 400 such appointments before turning over the state to Governor-elect Jerry Brown.

Earlier this year popular KFI 640 radio talk show hosts John and Ken focused a number of shows on the California Air Resources Board (CARB), detailing the facts that show the agency is out of control. The upcoming implementation of AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act, only makes this very powerful agency all the more dangerous to the teetering economy of California.
John and Ken primarily focused their attention on Mary D. Nichols, who is the chairperson for CARB. Nichols was first appointed to the CARB in 1978 by then-Governor Jerry Brown. She served under Brown until 1983. She was reappointed as chairman in 2007 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
San Bernardino County’s past continues to haunt us. It is not corruption, at least not exactly, but we find that yet another former Chairman of the Board of Supervisors is making news. This time we have to go back even further than Jerry Eaves to find the culprit.
Barbara Cram Riordan, a 1961 University of Redlands graduate, served on the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors from 1983 until her third full term ended in 1996. Prior to her stint with the County of San Bernardino, she served on the Redlands City Council for four years.
Riordan was appointed to the California Air Resources Board in 1991 by then-Governor Pete Wilson, reappointed in 1999 by former-Governor Gray Davis and again in 2004 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. She served as Chairman of the Air Resources Board twice for short periods of time. She has also previously served on the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District Board of Directors.
So what does all of this have to do with killing jobs and scandal you might ask? Has anyone been listening to KFI640′s John and Ken of late? If not, you are missing out. Continue reading
Our former county supervisor slash state assemblyman Fred Aguiar is in the news for his quest to sell our public assets to the highest bidder. Our parks, our beaches and our fairgrounds will be fair game if Fred has his way as Arnold’s deputy chief of staff.
Recently our friends in Orange County are experiencing the first portion of Fred’s privatization fascination where they are trying to stop the governor and Fred from selling off the fairgrounds. However if we do not stop Arnold and his friends from selling off these public assets where would be the next asset will Fred try to sell off? Continue reading
