"No Easter egg hunt this year" was the text with this photo that Grose e-mailed to local leaders and supporters
(Los Alamitos, 9/4/2010) In that slick flyer our new all Los Al voters got last weekend our new BFF, Charles Sylvia, told us to “Stay Tuned” because “we are carefully reviewing the candidates.” “Soon,” he promised, “you’ll be hearing our recommendations. . . .”
We already know Sylvia & his backers love four of the incumbents, giving all but Gerri Graham-Mejia an “A+,” but only two of their foursome are up for election, and there are three seats to fill. Based on Gerri Graham-Mejia’s “F” grade on Sylvia’s scoreboard, it appears they still need another candidate. (For LosAlTruth.com’s candidate scoreboard, which came out a bit differently, click here and then scroll down just a tad and click “Scorecard” on the left.)
I think Warren Kusumoto is a practical, conservative resident who doesn’t like to waste money (witness his opposition to the costly trash contract), and who has served on the Traffic Commission without being kicked off by the current Council, so I’m hopeful Mr. Sylvia will endorse him in his next expensive flyer.
The Grose e-mail media circus cost Los Al's reputation and pocketbook
However, my guess is that the individual(s) who spend thousands of dollars to fund those expensive flyers probably doesn’t share my enthusiasm for going with the low bid on the trash contract any more than Constantine “Dean” Zarkos and Troy Edgar did when they voted to squander over six million dollars of the ratepayers money.
Since Dean Grose consistently voted with the majority that Mr. Sylvia loves so dearly, we think he might be tempted to endorse Mr. Grose, despite the embarrassment and major expense Mr. Grose caused Los Alamitos with his tasteless watermelon e-mail.
Grose saw no racism in his watermelon e-mail
That whole watermelon e-mail incident distressed so many people that we received comments from across the nation back in those dark days of spring, 2009. In fact, the legendary Dr. Seuss himself apparently contacted us from that great watermelon field in the sky to express his displeasure!
So, for the benefit of Mr. Sylvia and any other citizens thinking of supporting the man who made Los Alamitos a tag line for Jay Leno and Dave Letterman, here, updated for 2010, is what “Dr. Seuss” thinks about putting Dean Grose back in City Hall:
Bad Eggs & Ham
That Mr. Grose! That Mr. Grose!
I do not like that Mr. Grose!
I do not like him here or there!
I do not like him anywhere!
I do not like him as the Mayor.
I do not like his puffy hair.
I do not like that Mr. Grose!
I would not like him as a friend.
I do not like him on CNN.
I do not want him in my town.
I don’t want bringing Los Al down!
I do not like that Mr. Grose!
Would I vote Grose as a joke?
I would not, could not as a joke.
Would I, could I, as a hoax?
Not as a joke, not as a hoax!
Would I like him with a Troy?
Is that something I’d enjoy?
How ’bout with another “Dean?”
Even if he’s sometimes mean?
Not with a Troy, not with a Dean
Those 3 would really make a scene!
Would I in a C.V.S.?
Maybe with a big trash mess?
No CVS, no big trash mess!
That Mr. Grose I cannot bless!
I do not like that Mr. Grose!
I do not want him on my street.
Nor ever again in a council seat.
I do not like that Mr. Grose!
Not here, not there, not anywhere!
As always, your comments are welcome, especially when expressed at least somewhat diplomatically. And, please, continue to stick to the “family friendly” language that’s appropriate to our little town.
