BROKE DOWN, DISGRACED AND TWICE DEMOTED FIREMAN ANDY FOX to ANOINT RICK LEMMON to THOUSAND OAKS CITY COUNCIl!
I recommend as a form of protest that all Conejo residents opposed to the NEW EXTREME REGIME of FOX-LEMMON-GLANCY-IRWIN and now pena to fill out an application for the sham and purely ceremonial selection process.
Each and every protest application accompanied by an essay on why each and every present council member should be removed from office, might at least cause the vindictive, greedy, arrogant and spiteful ANDY FOX some discomfort.
When you think of The NEW EXTREME REGIME of FOX-LEMMON-GLANCY-IRWIN and now pena think of the City of Bell.......... and when you think of the City of Bell... think of The NEW EXTREME REGIME of FOX-LEMMON-GLANCY-IRWIN and now pena.

opi thanks for attention to edit!!! Star on a roll for democracy!!!
Dear TO Concerned Citz:
We should ALL be incensed!! I did not choose to live in sunny Thousand Oaks because the Great Leader would choose for me. We have been kind to not say that we ave been WITHOUT a 5th Council member since the 2010 election, or if Denny knew then to hang up the gloves; as Mr. Glancy KNOWS but refuses to.
It is an abomination that foxy says the he and Denny are poster children for clean politics! This after his campaign manager the disgraced Pizza Queen tried unsuccessfully along with the same suspects, a few who still came out on Tues tried to Recall Cm. Zeanah. Their MAIN supporter is the disgraced diner @ the public trough who shamelessly takes our tax dollars for his so called failed Lakes who get prefentriatial treatment over every one on every thing!! foxy they do NOT pay $35 K a month rent by ANY logic; even if they did it would be a GREAT bargain as just the lease fro the former Hungry Hunter was $30K pm. In leau of the city spending $17 mill to help them set up shop they spend 1% or $170K per yr in goodwill like the bunny hunt, useless movies. Why is their report a YEAR Late and REDACTED!! Yea I have respect for these clowns!!
It turned her into a hero as has happened with Al Adam who is a shoe in in Nov. Jacqui also was a shoe in but NOT any more. She has a good gig but NO accomplishments to show after so many years NOT doing here job but for being a cute rubber stamp for the over paid under worked staff.
Scott called the breakup of his corrupt RDA the greatest tax grab; well the legislature createth and the legislature taketh away. Well this royalty will appoint a CRONY for almost the entire term of a CM. who in reality LOST the last election. We will NOT vote for ANY ONE who will NOT immediately in Jan. 2013 RESCIND the unethical appointment.
Former candidate Billy Martin put his name as an interim but Glancy refused to even address the issue.
Q: What should we call the stooge in the interim? Certainly NOT honorable CM?? Temporary CM?? I promise to say that God willing for the next 3 years IF I have to.
I hope Al Adam will apply and put MORE pressure on the goons!! How about a PROTEST OUTSIDE City hall @ the next appointment meeting @ 430 pm Tues March 6th!!
NO MORE CLONES!! We need a Thousand Oaks SPRING NOW!!
