Flyer Distributed throughout El Segundo exposing evidence of El Segundo Unified School District Pay-For-Play to Fund School Bond Ballot Measure ES Campaign

Posted on November 4, 2018 by Mike

Former El Segundo City Councilman Mike Robbins distributed a flyer throughout the City of El Segundo, California to expose the evidence of pay-for-play to fund the campaign for El Segundo Unified School District (ESUSD) Bond Measure ES.

ESUSD School Governing Board Member Nancy Cobb, a former ESUSD school teacher and teacher union member, set up the campaign committee “Friends of El Segundo Schools-Yes on Measure ES 2018”, FPPC I.D. #1407827, to receive and spend many $5,000 and $10,000 campaign donations from out-of-town and out-of-state businesses that make money from school bond tax hikes. These businesses include architect, planning, construction, construction management, building inspection consultant, and network and technology companies.

The campaign expenditures reported in the second FPPC 460 filing show the School Board Member’s Measure ES campaign is being managed out of Oakland, California, and the multiple slick campaign mailers were designed, printed, and mailed in Berkeley, California, a long distance away from El Segundo in southern California.

Here is a link to the PDF file for the flyer:

Chris Powell is a former ESUSD School Board Member. He is also a former City Treasurer who resigned in disgrace after it was learned that he made repeated violations of the sacred trust placed in him.

Chris Powell and others with questionable backgrounds endorsed El Segundo Ballot Measure A, which was eleven tax hikes in one ballot measure, on residents and businesses. The Yes on Measure A campaign claimed Measure A was “Supported by People You Know and Trust”, until Mike Robbins distributed a flyer and posted information on the PublicSafetyProject.org website proving otherwise.

See more on Measure A and the “People You Know and Trust” here:

Have the Measure A Supporters Earned Our Trust?– scroll down where Chris Powell is mentioned.

That information on Chris Powell is repeated here with the same document links:

Chris Powell resigned from his City Treasurer office in disgrace due to his long-time persistent affair with a school board member, which he admitted to in writing, after her husband contacted the City Council regarding the persistent affair with his wife – former City Treasurer Christopher Powell and current School Board Member Laura Gabel
