1st Supe District Watch: HJTA Endorses Janet Nguyen

Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association Endorses Supervisor Janet Nguyen

GARDEN GROVE, CA -- The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association has officially endorsed the re-election of Supervisor Janet Nguyen in the First District, calling her "an excellent representative for taxpayers."

"Supervisor Nguyen is an excellent representative for taxpayers and we especially appreciate her leadership working successfully to put Orange County on record in support of Proposition 98 on the June ballot, which will protect homeowners and small businesses from eminent domain abuse," said Jon Coupal, President of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

"I am very honored to receive the support of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association -- the group that has been on the forefront of the fight for lower taxes, restrained spending and private property rights for many years," stated Supervisor Nguyen.

Working through the Legislature, courts and ballot initiatives, the tax-fighting work of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association has saved Californians billions of dollars. Estimates are that Proposition 13 has saved California taxpayers over 528 billion dollars. And when you add in all of the other HJTA victories... the average California family of four has saved more than $57,000 as a direct result of the activities of Howard Jarvis and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

Great endorsement for Janet Ngueyn and more evidence that the GOP and conservatives are uniting behind her re-election campaign.

Re: Been Around said:

Nah, all that means is that Ackerman and Royce have been calling everyone and their momma on Janet's behalf.

RE: RE: Been Around said:

Well it's obviously been working a whole hell of a lot better than Dina and Van's lackeys...

Re: Re: Re: Been Around said:

I reckon that Jon Coupal listens to Ackerman and Royce a lot more than to local Vietnamese officials.

It says nothing for Janet's actual record as a tax fighter. As a matter of fact, considering just the last year of her record one could conclude that her fiscal record is mediocre at best.

Taxpayer said:

The Jarvis group does buckle to phone calls like that. This is a testimony to Janet's record on the Board, which has been very solid, especially on property rights and pensions. She deserves this endorsement and the vote of every homeowner in her district.

cra republican said:

Taxpayer.....Janet should have received the "Pork Barrel Spender of the Year Award" and you KNOW why......

She deserves to caugh up all the tax payer's wasted money from her own saving's account...............

Re: Taxpayer said:

"The Jarvis group does buckle to phone calls like that."

I agree.

"This is a testimony to Janet's record on the Board, which has been very solid, especially on property rights and pensions. She deserves this endorsement and the vote of every homeowner in her district."

LOL

- partnered with union lawyers to steal away a Republican win
- purposely and willingly broke campaign finance laws and failed to correct or address the mistake until overwhelming community outrage
- spent 150k in office renovations 9 days after elected to office
- 100k for an "outreach" office that has done NOTHING but serve as a satellite campaign office
- proposal for 2.5 million in pork to buy Vietnamese votes
- voted to raise traffic fines by 10% to pay for healtcare for illegal immigrants

OH! And let's not forget that when faced with her first chance to use eminent domain in the Garden Grove City Council, she VOTED FOR IT!!

http://www.redcounty.com/orange-county/2007/01/janet-nguyen-voted-for-eminent/

"Chair Nguyen noted her disappointment that the parties have been unable to reach an equitable conclusion. She is not in favor of the use of eminent domain, but this is taking shared parking rights. She is not favoring one party over another, but is looking at what is best for the City. She called for the vote."

Yeah, let's see if this exlanation is enough for her to get the "endorsement and vote of every homeowner in her district".

Face it. She's toast. And you know it. :)

Doesn't matter how many endorsements Janet the Ripper gets. She will ber badly beaten on the ground. She knows it and her opponents know.

This 1st Distr. doesn't know or care about the HJTA out of Sabramento. We on the blogs may think something of it. But seruiously, how many people on this blog even vote in the First, or haven't made up their minds already.

Talk to Carlos said:

Been Around,

Go talk to Carlos Bustamante how well he did with the GOP, the LC and the NM all getting behind him. Get a grip.

d'Anconia said:

This endorsement matters. Janet has a lot of negatives (as the previous commenter noted) and she will need all the conservative endorsements she can find to bring home the Republicans.

Good job by her team getting this endorsement, but please Been Around, get a grip, this means nothing as far as her support at the local level.

cra republican said:

D'aconia, partially I agree with you but the truth of the matter is that Janet has been DISCOVERED and PROVEN to be a more liberal leaning democrat than a conservative republican.

Janet's best friends are either democrats or independents seeking for loop holes to extract even more money from already lean county bank accounts ...... expanding welfare services for her favorite illegal immigants

Been Around said:

CRA Republican- if she is so liberal why did she get almost 2/3 of the votes at the cra concvention?

If she is so liberal, why did Chris Norby endorse her after serving with her for a year?

If she is so liberal, why did she vote with Moorlach on the pension issue?

If she is so liberal, shy did she endorse Prop. 98?

If she is so liberal, why did the Lincoln Club endorse her, or Congressman Royse, or Senator Ackerman or Mimi Walters?

This is a Republican woman represnting a DEMOCRAT district - and doing so with a proven conservative record.

As for renovation - Moorlach spent more than Nguyen - much more. is he a liberal?

And more Moorlach tried to pass OC's own verison of Mccain Feingold - I guess he's a liberal.

Give me a break.


cra republican said:

Been Aound the 5th Floor, Janet is what???

1) Janet Nguyen was the only ONE, UNO incumbent who was UNABLE to receive rather customery CRA endosement despite of her last minute unethical efforts.........building shell units, personal attack against her opponent, and other basic evil stuffs.


2)All other feather weight endorsements were squeezed/originated from customery, superficial fellow incumbent customs........ask the main Viet voters if they care for these unfamiliar names....

Viet voters will ask "where are the familiar our community Republican leader's names from the Janet's endorsement lists ?"

Well, THEY are ALL on the DINA NGUYEN's suppoter's list!


3) Here is your poison pill......Janet's top comrade, Art Pedroza supports abortion, gay marriage and illegal immigration and lastly, No God in Ameica. Yeah, I guess Janet does have STRONG republican friend's backing!!!

Anonymous said:

Janet Nguyen's no conservative. All of the so-called conservatives you listed up there also endorsed Lynn Daucher, a real paragon of conservatism.

Janet's siding with the Lincoln Cub against the deputy sheriffs and the pension issue is understand. It's money from the LC. Everybody knows that.

As for Chris Norby, he is out on La La Land. God knows that he is a Conservative or a Libertarian, or even a Liberal on some issues.

Painting Janet Nguyen as a conservative is like bleaching her hair blond, which is probably looks more convincing.

Been Around said:

Check your hero Van Tran's record - according to the CRA and Howard Jarvis, he is the most liberal Assembly Republican from OC.

By the way, Mimi Wlaters is the most conservative.

Anonymous said:

Been Around,

So What about Van Tran. He's not my hero, nor is Janet Nguyen, who is actually fraud. Todd Spitzer is the most moderate member. Get your facts straight before you file a false claim.

As for Mimi Walters, she does not understand reality or the real world.

Re: Been Around said:

Mimi Walters represents Dana Point, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Oceanside, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, and Aliso Viejo.

Van Tran represents Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Newport Beach, Stanton, Westminster, and Santa Ana.

Notwithstanding the fact that I doubt you have your facts straight, it's kind of silly to be comparing the two; especially considering their districts.

If Jesus Christ Himself came out and endorsed Janet Nguyen, "CRA Republican," "Student," and their comrades would dismiss it immediately, writing that, "He doesn't live in the district nor is he a Vietnamese-American elected official, so who cares?"

LOL said:

Once back in high school I claimed endorsement from Jesus. My campaign signs changed the popular slogan WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) to WJWD (What Jesus Would Do). It worked like a charm I won with 70%. But come to think of it, I probably would have won by that much anyway since I was much more qualified than the other candidate. I was also much much cooler than the other candidate as well. I know this post doesn't have much to do with the other posts but the other ones made me laugh and I just had to through in my two cents. Oh yeah and one more thing. People keep saying that the Lincoln Club and stuff mean nothing because they all backed Bustamante last time and he didn't win. I would have to agree that the Lincoln Club's and Senator Ackerman's endorsements alone probably don't carry enough weight to lead to a victory over a popular, qualified candidate like say former City Councilwoman/ current sitting Supervisor Janet Nguyen.

I checked Hoa and Dina's websites and they don't even have an endorsement page on their websites. Does anyone know if they have any endorsements, or who has endorsed them?

More importantly, why don't they announce who has endorsed them?

LOL,

You claimed, "a popular, qualified candidate like say former City Councilwoman/ current sitting Supervisor Janet Nguyen."

You're right. Now we are all laughing out loud because it is so contrary to the truth.

Anon.4:27, LOL, It's nice to see people are using Jusus's name in vain.....using Jesus's name for his or her own benefit and I am sure your appropriate reward is waiting for you.

Anon.4:27, you don't need Jesus's endorsement to convince people because He will just make it happen......in your best interest under His plan. Either winning or losing the election is not that important for Him as to the politicians.

cra republican said:

LOL, I agree with your notion about "...popular...."

You just have the WRONG name.. your post should read " Dina Nguyen is the most popular Garden Grove council woman who is going to be our good supervisor in June!"

cra republican said:

Been Around Drunk, I have asked our CRA leadership comrades bout Assemblyman Van Tran and sorry to break your heart.......... but Assemblyman Van is our top tier, most respected elected official representing conservative republicans in California.

They said Assemblyman Van's popularity has been expanding to our entire state.

Anon.11:11, "Van who?" your proud Assemblyman "Van Tran!"

Anonymous said:

CRA Republican - what are you smoking? Tran's popularity is great with a select few who currently have their heads stuck in the sand. The word is out, and his machine has been too overbearing even for your most loyal Vietnamese republicans. His operatives have offended so many and the lawsuits have discouraged so many Viets that his popularity has suffered a great loss. The "deal making" has gone beyond what is even a low mark for "scrupulous". What was once a respected operation has turned into a machine that has some problems with credibility, perspective and public image.

AS DINA HAS TROUBLE FILING THE WRONG FORMS TO EVEN RUN FOR OFFICE; JANET MAY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE OR TWO BUT SHE STRAIGHTENED THEM OUT, SHE MAY HAVE TAKEN A WHILE TO DO IT BUT AFTER ALL SHROEDER HAS BEEN KEEPING HER RATHER BUSY IN ADDITION TO HER REGULAR JOB, AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY OUTRAGE EXCEPT ON THIS PAGE BY THE SAME PEOPLE OVER AND OVER AGAIN

WOW, IF ANYONE IN THE COUNTY CAN SPEND $150k IN NINE DAYS THAT'S NEWS TO ME. THOSE PURCHASE ORDERS WERE PLANNED LONG BEFORE SHE TOOK OFFICE, BUT YOU CHOOSE TO "BLAME" THIS ON HER. I'VE BEEN IN HER OFFICE, IF SHE SPENT $150k SHE GOT TAKEN. THERE IS NOT A LARGE SCREEN TV IN THERE BY THE WAY. GO TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF.

- 100k for an "outreach" office that has done NOTHING but serve as a satellite campaign office -
AH, THEN PRAY TELL WHAT HAS THE VAN TRAN/ELECTED OFFICIALS OFFICE BEEN DOING DOWN THERE IN LITTLE SAIGON ALL THIS TIME? IT WAS ONCE SAID ON THIS BLOG THAT SHE WANTED TO "COMPETE" WITH THAT OTHER OFFICE AND THEN THE SAME PERSON LATER REFERRED TO HER OFFICE AS A "WELFARE SATELLITE OFFICE"; SO IF SHE IS COMPETING THEN WE HAVE THE "OTHER" OFFICE TO THANK FOR ALL THE SOCIAL WELFARE BENEFITS TARGETED TO THE VIETS?

- proposal for 2.5 million in pork to buy Vietnamese votes
IT HASN'T BEEN DELIVERED YET, BUT IT IS STILL CHEAPER THAN BUILDING A PARKING STRUCTURE DOWN THERE AND WILL HELP PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC, AND THE BUSINESSES - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HELP WITH THAT?

More Excuses From RINO Janet said:

I love the spin on ignoring the law for 2 months and hiring union lawyers, but what about the $100,000 of pork for the anteater?

That should of been the deal breaker for HJTA.

And when I voted for Proposition 1B, I thought it was going to fix traffic, not build bridges for Janet's donors.

Lastly, Van's outreach office is paid for by private dollars not taxpayer funds - something that I'm sure is not lost on HJTA.

Van Should Be On A Short List Of Statewide Candidates said:

I agree with the other poster that Van Tran would make a solid statewide candidate. He has bases of support in OC, San Jose, Los Angeles, Sacramento and the Inland Empire.

AFTER LOSING IN EVERY COURT, YOU STILL BELEIVE THAT WAS A STEAL? PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND.

Excuse me sir/ma'am, but were you in the ROV during the recount? I was there watching Janet's team and the Democrats' team huddle together to figure out better ways to throw away Vietnamese votes. So yes, regardless of what the courts decided, I saw it with MY OWN EYES and will always stand by the statement that Janet Nguyen (a RINO) stole away the legitimate election of a real Republican by teaming with the Democrats (all of those are FACTS).

AS DINA HAS TROUBLE FILING THE WRONG FORMS TO EVEN RUN FOR OFFICE; JANET MAY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE OR TWO BUT SHE STRAIGHTENED THEM OUT, SHE MAY HAVE TAKEN A WHILE TO DO IT BUT AFTER ALL SHROEDER HAS BEEN KEEPING HER RATHER BUSY IN ADDITION TO HER REGULAR JOB, AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY OUTRAGE EXCEPT ON THIS PAGE BY THE SAME PEOPLE OVER AND OVER AGAIN

Actually Dina corrected her mistakes as soon as they were made public and then hired a professional to prevent further mishaps. Janet, on the other hand, didn't even ADMIT to her illegalities (opening an illegal defense fund is not a "mistake" but an ILLEGAL ACT) until OCBLOG, LIBERALOC, AND THE TOTAL BUZZ all started COUNTUP of how many days until Janet complied with the law. She was subsequently fined by the FPPC, in a letter in which they officially came to the conclusion that JANET NGUYEN BROKE THE LAW.

WOW, IF ANYONE IN THE COUNTY CAN SPEND $150k IN NINE DAYS THAT'S NEWS TO ME. THOSE PURCHASE ORDERS WERE PLANNED LONG BEFORE SHE TOOK OFFICE, BUT YOU CHOOSE TO "BLAME" THIS ON HER. I'VE BEEN IN HER OFFICE, IF SHE SPENT $150k SHE GOT TAKEN. THERE IS NOT A LARGE SCREEN TV IN THERE BY THE WAY. GO TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF.

I actually have taken a look in there. Actually I was in there before and after she took office, and let me tell you, she didn't even need to re-decorate. It was good enough for Lou, why wasn't it good enough for her? As far as "blaming" this on her, no one is throwing blame. I'm only stating the facts. She knew she had just been elected on the smallest margin in County history. She knew it was only 9 days after being elected. She knew that she had a tough re-election campaign to run in less than one year and she STILL CHOSE TO ACCEPT THE RENOVATIONS. No excuses will be enough to ever explain that one to Conservatives. Oh and please don't try to re-direct blame to the other Supervisors. Janet is the only one that should have been careful about it BECAUSE of the touchy situation that she is in.

AH, THEN PRAY TELL WHAT HAS THE VAN TRAN/ELECTED OFFICIALS OFFICE BEEN DOING DOWN THERE IN LITTLE SAIGON ALL THIS TIME? IT WAS ONCE SAID ON THIS BLOG THAT SHE WANTED TO "COMPETE" WITH THAT OTHER OFFICE AND THEN THE SAME PERSON LATER REFERRED TO HER OFFICE AS A "WELFARE SATELLITE OFFICE"; SO IF SHE IS COMPETING THEN WE HAVE THE "OTHER" OFFICE TO THANK FOR ALL THE SOCIAL WELFARE BENEFITS TARGETED TO THE VIETS?

Van Tran's satellite campaign office in Little Saigon is exactly that. A satellite campaign office, shared by ALL members of the Orange County Vietnamese elected delegation BESIDES Janet Nguyen. The main difference between the two offices is that VAN TRAN'S OFFICE IS NOT FINANCED BY TAXPAYER DOLLARS LIKE JANET'S!!

IT HASN'T BEEN DELIVERED YET, BUT IT IS STILL CHEAPER THAN BUILDING A PARKING STRUCTURE DOWN THERE AND WILL HELP PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC, AND THE BUSINESSES - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HELP WITH THAT?

1) there have been NO feasibility studies done to prove your claim that it "will help pedestrian traffic and businesses"

2) I have seen studies proving the ABSOLUTE OPPOSITE, that it will increase traffic instead of relieve it

3) IT IS 2.5 MILLION OF TAXPAYERS' DOLLARS!!


Has anyone noticed that Janet's team doesn't even attempt to address the multiple negatives that she has in a legitimate way, but instead chooses to shoot blame at Dina and Van instead?

Do they need a reminder that Dina is not the incumbent and that Van Tran is not on the ballot?

Also, did anyone notice how she has STILL FAILED TO ADDRESS WHY SHE VOTED FOR EMINENT DOMAIN WHILE IN THE GARDEN GROVE CITY COUNCIL???

Good lord OCGOP, what the HELL are people thinking supporting this wreck of a politician? If this was a huge swing vote I could see how it would be acceptable to support a morally/ethically/politically compromised candidate like Janet but that's just not the case. Even if we were to lose this seat we would still have a 4-1 majority. What does the OCGOP gain by getting involved in a fight in the Vietnamese community that they have no understanding of OR any business being in.

I'm REALLY curious to hear ONE explanation as to HOW THE OCGOP WILL HELP THEIR CAUSE BY GETTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS FOOD FIGHT??

d'Anconia said:

Holy crap. Team Dina has their opp research prepared.

It's about to get very interesting...

PS: I would appreciate an explanation by a previous commenter about Janet's vote to increase traffic fines by 10% to cover healthcare for illegal immigrants. I know nothing of it but if true that is the nail in her coffin. Team Janet should be responding to this...

Janet's got a lot of personal and political skeletons in her large closet. The opp research on her will reveal some, but not all. Still, it's a huge problem for her since many of these issues are difficult to defend, if not impossible. These info will eventually come out.

(1) You are entitled to your opinion about what went down with the recount. If you had time to stand around and watch, more power to you. I am looking at the results of the multiple court decisions regarding this recount. They all came out favorable to one candidate. Janet Nguyen.

(2)Janet was fined. She paid her fine. Lots of other candidates have been fined and have paid their fines as well. She established that committee on the ill-advice of an attorney. As you may be aware the election laws and campaign laws are so convoluted you need a lawyer to interpret some of them for you. But just signing up to run for office should not be a major challenge.

(3)"Still Chose to accept the renovations" is the key. "Accept" meaning they were already well underway - the plans for this - to which you have now finally admitted. Thank you.

(4)Satellite Office: Well it is well known that the people in that Satellite Campaign office which runs even when no elections are pending, by the Tran Team, helps Viets gain access to social services, gets them to register to vote, etc. etc. Just why do you need a campaign office running all year long if that is all it is? Do you think we are all stupid? Don't insult our intelligence.

(5) There were no feasibility studies done on the "Arches" that the Viet group wanted to put over Bolsa either, it was strictly decorative, and then the City would have had to maintain them. There were no feasibility studies that said it would have improved the looks, improved trade, or improved tourism. Yet you all were behind the "arches", which actually no one could walk across...so at least the one Janet is trying to get has a useful purpose. Have you even been down there lately? Been stuck looking for a parking place for an hour? I have. Once I get a parking place I don't want to give it up. And I don't want to risk crossing Bolsa with all the crazy traffic there. I would if there was an overpass. If Little Saigon doesn't want the overpass, I can think of a lot of things to put that money to good use for. So perhaps you won't get your pedestrial overpass, and the rest of the City will benefit...or something in the 1st Supervisor's district.

(6)I did not KNOW that she had voted for Eminent Domain. Can you provide more detail on that? I am sincerely asking.

cra republican said:

Anon. aka Janet it's nice of you to acknowledge your past mistakes....however, without remorse or true repentence.

Your poor excuses and butter flavored lies lost it's potency.....meaning our voters still find you guilty of mis using our tax money and your dishonesty in this june election.

Re: Anon @ 4:23pm said:

First of all let me say that I appreciate your moxy about this. If I worked for a candidate like Janet Nguyen I would have to throw up before every time I tried to defend her against these accusations:

(1) You are entitled to your opinion about what went down with the recount. If you had time to stand around and watch, more power to you. I am looking at the results of the multiple court decisions regarding this recount. They all came out favorable to one candidate. Janet Nguyen.

Like I said, irregardless of the court decision, there are at least a dozen people who witnessed Janet's team and Woocher's team ganging up throwing out Vietnamese votes. If Janet was so confident of her Vietnamense support, as she claimed, this would be the LAST thing she would want to do.

(2)Janet was fined. She paid her fine. Lots of other candidates have been fined and have paid their fines as well. She established that committee on the ill-advice of an attorney. As you may be aware the election laws and campaign laws are so convoluted you need a lawyer to interpret some of them for you. But just signing up to run for office should not be a major challenge.

Yes, Janet was fined. What you fail to mention is that by FPPC standards, hers was actually quite a HEFTY fine. You also fail to mention that the FPPC officially classified her actions as illegal in form, and that SHE was the one held responsible, not her lawyer. As far as "just signing up to run for office" not being a major challenge...one would think keeping your finances in order post-election is just as easy if not easier.

(3)"Still Chose to accept the renovations" is the key. "Accept" meaning they were already well underway - the plans for this - to which you have now finally admitted. Thank you.

Yes, and I am glad that you admit that she accepted $150,000 in office renovations NINE DAYS AFTER BEING ELECTED. By the way, can you guess how much the average voter cares about the difference between the words "accepted" and "requested"? Not a damn.

(4)Satellite Office: Well it is well known that the people in that Satellite Campaign office which runs even when no elections are pending, by the Tran Team, helps Viets gain access to social services, gets them to register to vote, etc. etc. Just why do you need a campaign office running all year long if that is all it is? Do you think we are all stupid? Don't insult our intelligence.

I find you straying from the important matter at hand here. You keep bringing up Van's satellite office and the reasoning behind it, but you keep forgetting to give us a good reason why TAXPAYERS are paying for Janet's satellite office. As I mentioned before, Van and the rest of the electeds pay for their satellite office OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET. Why you fail to see the difference is beyond me...

(5) There were no feasibility studies done on the "Arches" that the Viet group wanted to put over Bolsa either, it was strictly decorative, and then the City would have had to maintain them. There were no feasibility studies that said it would have improved the looks, improved trade, or improved tourism. Yet you all were behind the "arches", which actually no one could walk across...so at least the one Janet is trying to get has a useful purpose. Have you even been down there lately?

I would if there was an overpass. If Little Saigon doesn't want the overpass, I can think of a lot of things to put that money to good use for. So perhaps you won't get your pedestrial overpass, and the rest of the City will benefit...or something in the 1st Supervisor's district.

Wow, talk about a red herring. Why are you bringing up the arches? I think the arches are a bad use of taxpayers dollars as well, but that's only $100,000 and that's why I didn't bring it up. The reason why I focused on Janet's stupid overpass idea, again, is because she wanted to spend TWO AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS on a project that would 1) not fix traffic; and 2) waste our tax dollars. Capiche?

(6)I did not KNOW that she had voted for Eminent Domain. Can you provide more detail on that? I am sincerely asking.

Sure. You can check out this post from last year where Jubal talks about it:

http://www.redcounty.com/orange-county/2007/01/janet-nguyen-voted-for-eminent/

Or you can look up the minutes of the Garden Grove City Council meeting for yourself. Look at May 10, 2005, Re-Development Agency minutes. Here's the link to do that: http://www.ci.garden-grove.ca.us/?q=citymanager/agendas


And now that I have addressed all your failed claims, can you now explain to me why Janet Nguyen thought it was acceptable to increase my traffic fines by 10% so she could provide healthcare for illegal immigrants?

Unless you don't have an answer for that either...
