Some in Cerritos have called into question the receipts presented in LCCN’s Feb 8 Cerritos City Council Travelgate article, including the $65 steak/fish.
The actual receipt is below.

    BUSTED CHEN! I guess your little escapades with Bruce, and Jim will be cut back a bit, 65 halibut 32 filet and this is just one dinner on the trip. I will not vote for you and I will demand your outrageous $113 per diem be cut. Council people like you are not there for the city you are there for yourself. Cerritos vote Carol out!!!!!

    ”Dam”…..one expensive— BOWEL MOVEMENT!!!!. Were these DINING amounts inclusive for free usage to restaurants Bidet, with built-in Sony’s Blow Dryer Station? Doesn’t the council know about Republican President’s Reagan’s 80:20 Tax Guide; for dining and traveling? These meals overages are ridiculous spending, when so many residents are waiting for: | TREE | SIDEWALK | GUTTER| repairs.

    Resident Smearhiemer & Mayor Edwards are from the old stock of WW2 Baby Makers, spend spend spend and not question the government….Hell, we are in a new generation of Millenniums, and resident’s should seriously examine the Council’s Spending Portfolios. Cronyism expired during the | X-Y- Z | Generations and this is a prime example, of how to BK the city’s budget.

    Mayor Edward’s referenced the city web portal for public reference for travel. Hmm, city of Cerritos, —47%— Seniors, and many of these older residents, are not computer savvy to navigate the non- uniform web portal | Cerritos.us | Edwards tried to buffalo the residents with his cronyism, compared to the Pope and Mahoney hid the priests pedophilism…….

    Could not believe my ears, when the past Forum, most of the candidates supported travels, as an educational perk. Well, appoint commissioners who have Professional Resumes to support the post; —-S T O P — appointing because of race and campaign lobbying donations. Back in the 70’s, Cerritos Council Persons ((Rabbit and Alex Benum)) misused & disgraced the traveling account, suffered accident, permanently handicapped and has cost the tax payers and workers comp, infinity of medical –wellness money over the past few decades.

    Mayor Edwards Legacy:
    • Lied to the Wall Group & former Mayor, regarding Shoemaker.
    • Showed favoritism only to Gahr alumni brand.
    • VIRAL Showdown fight w/ Councilperson Crawley over emails.
    • Spent more PR towards military, then he did representing all districts in 90703.
    • Spent money on trips and travels and pocketed bonus coupons.
    • Allowed : B A T T E R Y B A R R O W ‘ S fite with long time candidate, Mr Jim Gray, to go non- censored…

    Bottom line, when money is paid beyond the SERVICE CONTRACT, the frequent flyer and hotel usage should not be privately held, but for the benefit of all the public. Corrupt Bell politics is very much seeded in to our local government in 90703.

  • Jay Gray says:

    Anyone watching the last council forum must have been in disbelief as candidate Carol Chen stated city Council members ate sandwiches before the council meetings.

    Seems, if that were true, they were making up for lost meals on the tax payer dime once out of public view.

    Candidate Carl Chen also neglected to mention how committees/commissions along with staff ALL meet, before their meetings, at local restaurants for dinner, again on the city dime.

    They may deny talking city business, but we can rest assured the reasoning being this is to promote cohesiveness among the “players.” What a better way to keep everyone in line and ensure they tow the city line and stay in lock-step should any resident stand before them and complain too loudly.
