were amended to include the new form (even though he continues to disagree with the usefulness of the form). So in a Planning approval cycle that is bogged down with delays, redundancy, outdated codes, bureaucracy and aggrandizing Commissioners, apparently it is egregious for one of the Commissioners to question the need for adding another layer of redundancy. Was Mr. Bacerra's "egregious" behavior based solely on his questioning and initial refusal to complete this form? Or if there's more to the story, let's hear it from somebody other than NewSantaAna (which reported and embellished it extensively — hmmm, wonder where the "Editor" got his information?). Which brings up another question. Who decided this new Ex Parte communication disclosure form is so important (apparently worthy of excommunication if ignored), and if it is so important, why aren't the members of the City Council required to complete this form too? Meanwhile it was revealed during item 13C of the City Council Meeting that Commissioner Mill was apparently using his City position for personal gain. Hmmmmm, I hadn't heard about this. I wonder why this wasn't extensively reported and "embellished" by the "Editor" of NewSantaAna? But according to Mr. Mill's supporters on the Council, his transgression didn't warrant the egregious classification because as soon as he was informed that he couldn't use the City Logo for personal gain, he stopped using it. Really? Do you really expect us to believe Mr. Mill wasn't aware that his actions were unethical? And do you really expect us to believe that Mr. Mill isn't continuing to use his Commission position for personal gain. It couldn't be any clearer but you the Councilmembers don't see it because you are blinded by infighting and politics: A Commissioner who questions why we would want to create redundancy without transparency, should be commended. A Commissioner who is using his position for personal gain, should be removed. The majority of you got it wrong on both items at City Council and in those votes you show no respect for the residents and the business community of Santa Ana. Is it any wonder we never make any progress in making Santa Ana more business friendly and is it any wonder we will again hear the same unfulfilled campaign promises during the next election cycle?
