To Janet Nguyen,

Keep the special interest pork out of Orange County! Get a project that the entire public benefit and the City Council supports, not for your political, re-election benefit.

You and your children will be paying for this uneeded bridge for the next 15-30 years.

Dear No Little Saigon Bridge:
Janet does not have any children. And I suspect she will not ever have any children. It is a not so well known secret that Janets marriage to Tom Bonikowski is a sham marriage to divert attention awy from the fact that Janet Nguyen is a closeted Lesbian. Much like Senator Larry Craigs marriage. If you are ever in the bathroom with janet listen for the tell tell foot tapping.
