Potential Addition to Planet Glendora UPDATE
By Publius | February 11, 2008
Jennifer McLain notes that a “Glendora finance director candidate,” currently working at the same position in South Pasadena, was “once investigated for ‘vulgar outbreaks.’” Is this a case of sour grapes or does someone truly belong in Glendora?
UPDATE:
As local boy notes below, the investigation referred to above could easily have revealed that the charges were all a load of you-know-what. It is clear from my question above that I am simply wondering whether this is an article that shouldn’t even have been written or whether it has some merit.

Since Glendora, California has to endure the like of Dougie F. tessitor on our cities payrole now it appears another nasty mouth person will be joining him?
dougie F. tessitor was charged by the public and his own written F-worded statement to his election buddies, strange nothing was ever done about this illegal use of local government euipment to send and recieve personel election campaign emails?
More cover ups handled by the insiders at Glendora’s City Hall, even though there were Employee’s code of conduct and rules and regulations in effect during dougie’s criminal actions?
More double standard’s coming in to play when the upper crust get caught! Rules don’t apply tot he King and his Court of fools.

I don’t know who Betta is or if he’s qualified, but maybe you could have noted that the results of the investigation are unknown Publius. Leaving it open ended served what end? He could be someone Glendora would be better off without but the article doesn’t shed enough light to determine either way. I guess if it was that big a deal he would have been fired or further allegations would have been discovered in the last two years.
Your standards here are getting absolutely laughable. Here you have the comments above from a guy who has threatened people with arrests and lawsuits and called others more names than any dozen Doug Tessitors could, not only on the Harrold Board, but here ( he did make some masturbation comments about me you guys left up and he has the nerve to say someone else has a nasty mouth?), and you once again let him post absent any type of fact, just more innuendo, hate and rumor.
This poster above is a major part of the Harrold group and all you need do is take a look at Harrold’s show…just once…to see the pure nastiness, rumor, innuendo and slander that comes from these people. If that’s not enough just look at his posts on the Harrold board under Made In Glendora.
You expect me to watch my words with this guy and as usual let him post about “criminal actions” by a Glendora councilman without citing and law his claims are based on. What exactly are your standards here because I’m confused?
This is getting pretty ridiculous.

Let the records stand for themselves, this NEW employee was investigated in South Pasadena for his foul language etc. of course it was in a closed door meeting and only the loud noise that bleed out from behind the closed doors could be heard.
But it was the choice words that leapt in to the ears of the ladies etc. that’s what offended them the most.
So here we go again, with bring known problems in to our city for the tax payers to solve with their tax dollars in the form of potential lawsuits?

A peek at Glendora’s agenda shows that Betta is not just a candidate: He is being introduced tomorrow as the finance director.

I think writing the article has merit, however it certainly would have been better if the results of the investigation were included. But I don’t think that is the reporter’s fault, I’m sure the results were not made public….to me anyway, that is the problem.
If complaints were made that warranted an investigation, then the results should be public.
If the claims had no basis and were found to be untrue, then that should be released and if they were found to be true…well we should have a right to know.

fyi:there was an investigation but no hostile environment was substantiated, according to South Pasadena. Though at least one former city leader dismisses the findings.
Here’s today’s story.

What city leader Ed? Two union reps or leaders doesn’t account to being a city leader does it? I was a union leader for years but not a city leader.
The bottom line is no complaints went past the “in house” type and appear to be financially motivated. Union leaders sling mud with the best of them when the need arises, I’ve done it. That’s part of the wage and hour game.
This is really a nothing issue at this point.

Local Boy,
my bad. It should have been “a former union leader.”

It’s true that a FireTruck from L.A. County engine company No. 151 was called and they and the three officers from GPD walked in to inspect the room and count the number of sitting and standing people, the room was allowed to handle 89 people + 20.
Before the Fire Department arrived, 25 to 30 people took one look after trying to gain access and speak, just mummbled and left the Meeting Chambers and got back in their cars and drove away - maybe saying what a crazy way of running a government or a City Council Meeting.
If anyone has ever been in that Cracker box sized council chambers you would be shaking your heads to see and hear that number would be allowed.
Who in their right minds would allow that many people crammed in to such a small and over heated room, with only two exits?
Only a small group of VERY MEAN PEOPLE!
This action taken last Tuesday 01.12.2008 is just one of mean spirited attempts taken in the name of Glendora, California’s city government officials.
You all should be charged with ELDER ABUSE - felony and stand trial.
What was not noticed by many, Ken Herman (mayor) glad handed two gentlemen who were in power electric wheelchairs, who had shown up early for the City Council meeting.
After Ken Herman saw them he jumped off his little dias seat and talked to them and promised them HE PERSONALLY would help them with their concerns, fears and complaints?
This was done to remove them from the meeting chambers, shrewed political move on his part.
But we all know just how far you can trust or throw Ken Herman’s personal promises.

Did the city attorney out right lie or did he have a glitich in his memory bank?
The comments revolves around the statement made by the Cities Attorny at the RV Storage meeting that took place in Glendora’s City Council meeting on 02.26.2008 at 7:00 pm.
The City Attorney stated; There are NO laws, County, State or Federal that allow residents to park RV’s in or on there OWN property.
“U.S. Supreme Court Decision”
One of the most significant decisions involving RV Parking took place in Euclid, Ohio, in 1977. This was a major victory for RV owners for two reason: The focus of the case was on the aesthetic value, and the case reached the U.S. Supreme Court of the United Staes of America.
Look it up for yourself: City of Euclid v. Fitzthum, et al.
So once again this City has shown it is dealing with residents in BAD FATH!
This city has been caught lying so many times, they should all be in the courner and taking a time out in prison or jail would be fine.
And the City Council for Glendora, California voted on restrictive measures to be placed on the RV owners who reside in the city limits, this was done on the grounds of; AESTHETICS.

Was Gary Cliffords actions in response to his strong civic pride or was it in response to FEAR?
Fear of losing an election bid since there was mounting pressure on him and the other council members for their arrogance they were displaying in City Council Chambers each and every time they spoke or were asked questions in response to rulings and judgments they handed down from their pulpit?
there defiance to the publics questions only Inflamed the long running feeling being spread through out Glendora, California that these council people had set up a City State and were not going to be held accountable to anyone or anything that was said or shown as proof of their misdirections in their actions.
So on that faithful night of the two girls arrest Gary saw a golden opportunity to vindicate himself and others on the council especially his retread running mates of “ALL” there misdeeds and missteps while serving for the first four years on the council.
Even if he had to tell a “little’ lie it was for himself,Ken and Douglas and last but not least it was for the “good of Glendora?”
In retrospect it was “NOT good” for anyone especially Gary and Glendora, California - Ken and Douglas soon will to regret Cliffords and their actions on that faithful night also.

After exiting they will turn right an enter the multi level parking structure for the Gold Line ride in to down town L.A. Arriving at Union Station they will board a bus to ride to the Superior Court House an watch the happenings take place in a certain court room, live.
All Aboard!

Why would four GPD vehicles show up to take down “one” sign? Was this a memorial to his fine work last year?
You all remember, GMC called in the troops with there squad cars (4) to arrest two Glendora female residents. And for that mistake (some say mean spirited GMC) so for this act of ignornace of the law an his lost emotional control has landed him in Court, November 03, 2008 - Superior Court no less!
