Recently, the potential sale of the
Jim Righemier has been writing about it in his weekly Daily Pilot column, Rigonomics. Also, he has started a facebook page and a blog in order to bring attention to the issue and fight for local control of the fairgrounds.

Thank you for promoting the event Iron Grip! We had more than 300 people in attendance protesting the sale of the fairgrounds. I should take offense to your "sloppily" comment, but since you can't seem to spell Faubel's name right... well... those in glass houses...
From a conservative perspective though, please explain how charging Orange County taxpayers $180 million or more for fairgrounds that we already own is wise. I thought Sacramento had a spending problem, not a revenue problem. Why should Orange County (again) be a donor county and send an additional $180 million to Sacramento just to keep the fairgrounds as is.
