CALIFORNIA ELECTION ALERT !
Tuesday, September 14, 2021 is Recall Election Day in California.
Vote YES on the first question to RECALL GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM; and
Vote for LARRY ELDER on the second question to elect Larry Elder as governor if a majority of the votes counted voted Yes on the first question.
Vote-By-Mail ballots were mailed out to ALL registered voters, dead or alive, moved out of the state or not, legal or illegal. This was done to maximize the opportunity for election fraud and theft to keep Governor Gavin Newsom in office.
The election fraud can include stuffing the ballot box with fraudulent ballots voting NO on the RECALL and NO VOTE for the new governor, and destroying, discarding, or not counting ballots voting YES and LARRY ELDER.
You can vote by mail, but it is probably safer to vote in person at the election poll on or before September 14, 2021 to help ensure your vote gets counted.

Collaboration and Careful Consideration – Letter to the El Segundo Herald by former mayors
Collaboration and Careful Consideration
As former mayors, we have all experienced firsthand the need to make tough decisions necessary to safeguard the well being of the city and its people. While circumstances differed during each of our tenures, there was consistently a collaborative effort of the Council and community to develop fair, reasonable means of meeting our town’s needs.
The process surrounding the acreage tax increase contradicts the successful tradition of discussing fiscal needs with stakeholders, diffusing potential conflicts and crafting effective solutions the community can support. The introduction of this item lacked transparency, and it’s unclear whether all council members were even aware that City staff was working on the issue. Uses of the revenues were not clearly defined. Proceeds of the tax will go into the general fund with no restrictions on how they will be spent and no accountability to taxpayers.
Finally, the entire process to rush this tax to the ballot will take less than one month, not nearly enough time to get this right. … Continue reading
Table Tax Increase Proposal – Letter to the El Segundo Herald by Bill Watkins
Table Tax Increase Proposal
As a 40-year resident of El Segundo I’m baffled and somewhat distressed by the City Council’s attempt to increase taxes on Chevron by over $10 million annually. It’s unclear that this action is necessary and even less clear what the money would be used for.
Despite the City’ Manager’s statements that the funds would go for infrastructure and capital projects, it’s possible they could go to the general fund.
Further, if infrastructure is the issue, the customary route would be through bonds, not a tax increase. In my opinion, having been deeply engaged in the passage of three school bond measures and serving at one time on one of the bond citizen’s financial oversight committees, this approach would have made much more sense.
Chevron not only supported those bonds, the company is the largest payer of school bond taxes. It’s entirely likely they would have been open to a discussion about how they could support the City’s current infrastructure needs.
By choosing instead to promote a tax increase that singles out Chevron alone among all the City’s taxpayers, the Council is likely to irreparably damage its relationship with one if its strongest supporters; erode goodwill among the business community and voters alike; and face a costly, resounding defeat at the polls in April. … Continue reading
More Time Needed to Deliberate Tax – Letter to the El Segundo Herald by Marsha Hansen
More Time Needed to Deliberate Tax
The greater El Segundo community is proud of the collaborative relationship between City government and the private sector. This partnership has served our community well, especially during challenging economic times.
We were surprised and disappointed when we learned, with only a few days’ notice, of the Council’s intention to propose a significant tax increase targeted at a single segment of the business community without having first sought input from the Chamber of Commerce and others. This is a sharp departure from the transparent, collegial process that has always served the people of El Segundo for years.
A matter as important as the single largest tax increase in the City’s history deserves thoughtful deliberation, with sufficient time invested not only in research and analysis, but in meaningful discussion with the community. The scant 18 business days from the time this proposal was first aired in public until the deadline to decide whether or not to place the tax increase before voters falls short of the time necessary to exercise responsible diligence. … Continue reading
Questioning Rush to Tax Chevron – Letter to the El Segundo Herald by Linda Briese Johnson
Questioning Rush to Tax Chevron
As I was preparing to enjoy a long holiday weekend, I was very surprised that the City Council decided to rush through a tax increase for one local business. With lightning speed, a majority of the Council decided to investigate a ballot proposal to increase taxes on Chevron by tenfold. Council members contend that Chevron doesn’t pay as much as refineries in other cities. This increase is based on a representation by the City Manager that is still unclear to me and I question the data that was presented.
The City of El Segundo has historically engaged in a constructive dialogue between business and residents. Why is this tax and ballot measure different? What’s the rush and why is the City singling out just one business?
What’s next for citizens and other business in El Segundo during this recession—pay for trash removal, sewer fees and sales taxes increases? … Continue reading
New Contracts Unsustainable – Letter to the El Segundo Herald by Michael D. Robbins
New Contracts Unsustainable
Councilman Fisher claimed city employee unions took a nine percent salary cut. This is untrue. The new union contracts are still excessive and unsustainable. They don’t even rollback the huge 11 to 23 percent pay raises Councilmen Busch and Fisher gave the fire and police unions during the recession, on top of their already excessive and unsustainable salaries and pensions. And the new contracts include three different pay raises plus a guarantee of no layoffs for three years.
The maximum and average total annual compensation were $338 thousand and $202 thousand for firefighter union members, and $304 thousand and $178 thousand for police union members (previous contract). The city paid maximum and average individual annual pension contributions of $66 thousand and $40 thousand for firefighter union members, and $77 thousand and $41 thousand for police union members.
The firefighter and police union pension costs are excessive and unsustainable because they are based on excessive and unsustainable salaries and pension benefit formulas. All firefighters and police can still retire at age 55 with up to 90 percent of their single highest pay year as their annual pension benefit … Continue reading
Unions influencing El Segundo – Letter to the Daily Breeze by Michael D. Robbins
Unions influencing El Segundo
As I predicted last July, El Segundo Mayor Eric Busch and his City Council majority approved new city employee union contracts in secret, letting the new and unproven city manager do the negotiating, then rushed the contracts through a public City Council vote as a mere formality.
Busch tried to rush the official contract approval with less than 24 hours for the public to even see the contracts, because the contract terms are still excessive, unsustainable and almost entirely one-sided in favor of the fire and police unions.
The contracts give automatic longevity and annual step pay raises, and excessive and unsustainable six-figure compensation and pensions, including redundant special compensation and automatic overtime pay. They also guarantee no layoffs for three years, even if it bankrupts the city.
This bankruptcy trap ties the hands of the current and next City Council, taking away their most effective cost-control and bargaining tool. … Continue reading
Potential Bankruptcy Trap – Letter to the El Segundo Herald by Michael D. Robbins
Exactly as I predicted last July, Mayor Busch and his City Council majority “negotiated” and approved new city employee union contracts in secret, letting the new and unproven city manager do the “negotiating”, then rushed the contracts through a public City Council vote as a mere formality.
Why did Busch try to rush the “official” contract approval with less than 24 hours for the public and Council members to even see the contracts? Obviously, Busch was trying to hide the contract terms, which are still excessive, unsustainable, and mostly one-sided in favor of the fire and police unions.
In some ways, the new contracts are worse than the old ones. … Continue reading
El Segundo, We Have a Problem – Letter to the El Segundo Herald by Michael D. Robbins
El Segundo, We Have a Problem
The City Council has been negotiating new contracts with the City employee unions in secret for months now, but will only allow the citizens 24 hours to see these long, complex contracts before final approval. Mayor Busch has set a phony deadline of October 1, start of the new fiscal year, to approve the contracts. There is no legal or other requirement to do so.
Mayor Busch scheduled final contract approval for Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 5:30 PM. This non-standard day and early meeting time reduces public oversight even further. If Mayor Busch and the city employee unions were acting in good faith, they would provide the citizens sixty days, or thirty days as a minimum, to review and debate the union contracts they will be forced to pay. … Continue reading
Adult Movie Theater – Letter to the El Segundo Herald by Mary Olinick
In response to Mr. Funk’s “hope” for an adult movie theater ad, I would defend his right to wish for something this community “may find offensive.” Fortunately, our city ordinances restrict adult movie theaters to Rosecrans Blvd. It’s not likely the owner there would want to downgrade his property by leasing to any kind of adult entertainment. Mr. Funk’s hope may never materialize.
Anyone reading or seeing the news must be aware of the crowds pillaging and looting the stores in England. Those shop owners could only “hope” that they had the right to use firearms to defend themselves and their property. … Continue reading
Imperial Field – Letter to the El Segundo Herald by Beth Muraida
I wish to invite the public to the Planning meeting tonight. The subject is the property at 640 E. Imperial. Currently there is a field that ES Little League developed for rookie and Challenged children to play, as well as an unused school.
City wants to zone for single/multiple housing. ESUSD needs revenue. The only way to accomplish that is to lease the property to a developer. ESUSD needs the City to rezone for a planned assisted living and single/multiple use development. To generate maximum revenue, the property will have to be developed the max. The same overdeveloped noisy neighborhood is happening all over town. What will the value of property surrounding this project become? … Continue reading
