Has anyone noticed the Ojai Valley News ( Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Buchanan Communications-based chain paper) recently reduced the width of its paper from 13 11/16" to 11 15/16"? Shrewd. Their co-founder was Ventura's (Conflict of Interest) City Manager, that is until he was finally fired. They're also having difficulty communicating with area merchants.
T he LA Times ( Tribune Co.) has declared bankruptcy, the Star Free Press ( Scripps closed Ventura offices) is in the process of stripping out 20 more employees, Ventura's VCReporter ( Southland Publications a chain-based corporate faux-alternative, Pasadena/LA) is shrinking its pages, seeking interns, and one of their editors is actively looking for employment elsewhere. If Senior gets elected, Ojai can look forward to mega-Rubber Stamp Approvals of massive high unit high density low-income developments, but Ojai loves Traffic, don't it. could it? Stinks Rife with Corruption to me, Pay to Play, Pay to Play. Nothing gets by Betsy, well almost nothing.Īll this couldn't have had anything to do with how "Prominent" Junior's special father was. Guess if Johnston makes it as Ojai's Mayor he can show developers the way. Yes, Rubber Stamp Approved when any other "regular folk"-citizen cannot get a simple and appropriate fence variance, modest room addition, or classy restaurant remodel approved on their property. guess the dogs keep the friendly celebrating Mariachi Latinos at bay on the weekend, just over the fence, you know the picnic at the park next door, or so Junior's wife had said.īut all in all, the scale and quality of the "mini-mac", is still much more appropriate outside of Ojai. Junior even has two incessant and constantly yapping mindless mutts to go with all the mediocrity. The "mini-Mac"" looks more like a cheap Thousand Oaks spec house with a view of the fence, a mere 15-ishhhh feet away.
Of course Betsy's popularity needs all the help it can get these days on Ojai's council. But, Johnston Senior just stormed into Council/Planning (the castle)with junior and made his Demands known, with a friendly smile of course. Now you have to understand, getting a "Gigantanormous" house approved on a teeny tiny "Flag" Lot Split in Ojai means you gotta have Juice with the Planning Commission, or you're treated like Ojai leftovers. on big candidate Johnston's supporter, council member Betsy Clapp's watch.
and t'was even more quickly constructed by Junior of course on such a tiny tiny tiny little postage stamp of an Ojai "Flag" subdivided-lot in town.
Yes, another Pay to Play - Ojai Mini-Mac Mansion, Approved around 2009/10, Mission Accomplished. or Junior will be down your throat in a heartbeat beating his almighty (connected-to-papa-bear-chest!). and please don't hold up one of Junior's frequently arriving sub contractors or GIGANTIC delivery trucks by attempting to park your residential car or walk your dog down the sidewalk. commercial business-like contracting activities back there now, his Gigantanourmous house/commercial workshop there, and extra commercial and private vehicles parked out on the street. With all Juniors current extra-contractor type thingys going on.
