She’s In! The Return Of Jan Flory

The closer you look, the worse it gets.

A week or so ago FFFF reported that Jan Flory, the elderly, humorless scold who has been on the Fullerton City Council three times had taken out nominating papers to run this fall in the 2nd District.

FFFF rejoiced.

Too much scotch, not enough water…

We didn’t necessarily think she’d go through with it, what with her pushing 80 years old, her historic constituency dying off, and running against the popular and well-financed Mayor, Nick Dunlap. Still the prospect of having Flory around gave hope for all sorts of blogging fun – once again reciting her horrendous pro-tax, pro-corruption record.

And now we learn that Mrs. Flory has indeed returned her nominating papers and is in the process of creating a new campaign committee.

Better check the sell by date…

Well, done, Jan, say I. Your record of “public service” is in a class by itself.

You were the one who approved the budget busting 3@50 retroactive pension bonanza to cops and paramedics.

You were the one who enthusiastically supported the illegal water tax.

You were the one who supported Measure S, the foolish sales tax effort.

You were the one who supported the ill-conceived Utility Tax, and wished it had been double,

You were the one who approved years of red ink budgets and lied about them to the public.

You were the one who cut a slimy deal with Ahmad Zahra to deny the citizens of Fullerton a chance to vote on a replacement for Jesus Quirk Silva.

You were the one who refused to create a citizens commission to reform the Culture of Corruption in the Fullerton Police Department.

You were the one who defended the Three Bald Tires in the wake of the Kelly Thomas murder by the cops. You called them honorable men.

You were the one to sneer and deprecate your own constituents if they dared criticize or complain about the actions of your beloved “staff.”

You were the one to support every Redevelopment boondoggle and every massive, over-built apartment block.

And of course the list goes on and on and on.

And so once again, FFFF says thank you, God!

  1. “You were the one who approved years of red ink budgets and lied about them to the public.”

    So what? We don’t care about how much money the city spends, we’ll just raise the taxes and get more money.
    If she can miraculously beat Nick, she’ll join Shana and Ahmad whom will take us to the promised land. The land filled with I.O.U.s and taxes. The land of unicorns, where money grows on trees.

    Taxes on taxes.

    Forget infrastructure, fuck the citizens (just don’t say that), let’s waste the tax money on idiotic ideas. Close down the streets and throw money at the idea of gathering space. Let’s all be in debt, it’s the American way.

    Debt on debt.

    Next time, God forbid, a police officer kills a homeless person she will have the PDs back. AGAIN! Hell, she’ll call them “honorable” officers after murdering a person that did NOTHING wrong. Look at the video and see the men she defended. It’s heart breaking.

    Jan for council, what a sham.

  2. Don’t forget approving the Restaurant Overlay District with no required Conditional Use Permits, which unleashed the uncontrolled proliferation of defacto bars and nightclubs and years of downtown mess and mayhem.

    1. Excellent point, although the worst of DTF came in after she was voted out in 2002. Still, she’s always been pals with the bar owners.

  3. I thought she was at an assisted living facility. Can you run for city council if you have a caregiver? Asking for Kitty Jaramillo as well.

  4. Remember when she spent 5 minute berating Josh Ferguson for having the audacity to claim the city was running a deficit? Pretty sure it was her last meeting as an elected council member, so late November 2016. She accused hin of lying said the truth was we had a surplus. Not two meetings later the city admitted they’d been running a deficit for years.

      1. Well, if you’re going to have to sit through one of these meetings, you may as well be getting paid for it.
