The current city council has continued prior councils' practice of not providing written summary minutes of council discussion, but only "action minutes" which state the outcomes. Encinitas Undercover will provide a forum for observers to record what occurs at each council meeting.
Please use the comments to record your observations.
Lisa took a whupping. Can't wait to read her shrewish responses in her "newsletters."
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Lisa Liar Shaffer? Was she yet again outed for the misinformation she spreads daily?
ReplyDeleteYes, by several speakers.
DeleteSilly woman, she persists in trusting "staff."
Whoa! Barth just reamed Gaspar a new one!
ReplyDeleteGuess taking pity on The Raisin and not using the rail, tar and feathers on Teresa and Don in 2014 didn't communicate the message; Barth is, was and will ALWAYS BE a documented disaster. Lisa, please leave and take your soul-sister with you!
DeleteShaffer-Gaspar cat fight... wraaaa!!!
ReplyDeleteGASpar looked and acted like a spoiled child. It was so obvious that she and her weenie husband set up the guy to write the letter. Even her buddy Muir thought it was ridiculous. Catherine again took the high road and didn't have to say a word. Someone ought to email the Board of Supervisors and tell them to watch GASpar the witch in action. This is what they will get if she gets elected.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Marco Gonzales for pointing out what scum we have as mayor.
Good riddance GASpar. You will not be missed.
Easy to recognize scum when you see it by looking in the mirror each morning.
Delete9:22 Awwww, you must be the scum's adoring fan. You are the company you keep.
DeleteMayor Barth ripped GASpar a good one. It was so deserved. Way to go Teresa. GASpar had her head down the entire time. That's what people do when they are ashamed.
DeleteIt is crystal clear that Gaspar is not ready for the big leagues.
DeleteWay to go Teresa! Kristen deserved all that and more. And Mark's behavior towards to first speaker was disgusting.
DeleteTeresa is the one who taught the others just HOW to violate the Open Meeting Laws. If for whatever reason Kristen loses, Teresa better jump the first camel train out of town; on Don's back. Such a lying B!
DeleteCity paid Sacramento lobbyist blabbering on and on about little to nothing... blah blah blah.
ReplyDeleteDo we the citizen really need a legislature considering we the citizens have so many propositions to vote on?? Aren't we doing the work of the legislature?? Trash them and save the citizens billions of dollars...
Blakespear says we are lucky to have an overpriced lobbyist. Says he will be happy to work with us again.. huh??
9:10 PM
DeleteHave you seen the number of bills passed this year? Whether or not all those bills are necessary, they are busy.
Also, the lobbyist mentioned that the upcoming legislative year should see more housing legislation, including the governor's "by right" bill being resurrected. Who knows what will pass but I doubt Encinitas will be happy with a lot of it.
Notice how today's Shaffer email ignores the many corrections residents brought to her attention on the transfers of decision-making power to the Planning Director alone?
ReplyDeleteIt's painfully clear she copies and pastes whatever drivel staff feeds her and thinks she's done her job AND is right. Staff has been called out so many times for mistakes and outright lies, it's a miracle the Council takes their word for anything...and a miracle they still have their jobs.
Shaffer instead moves on to blabbing about density bonus, which no one claims is part of Measure T. To ignore its presence, though, is just plain stupid.
Let's pray she and her hubby move back to Tierra Santa. That town is more her speed. Still laughin' at Catherine calling Shaffer an intellectual; maybe, but one completely bereft of 'emotional intelligence'. Such a painful loser.
DeleteThat was "intellectual powerhouse," to be exact!
DeleteSomehow Shaffer didn't look that way last night while being schooled by residents on Measure T. Lisa put her name on that doc without ever having read it, no doubt about that.
New sign spotted:
ReplyDelete"Neighborhood's for Muir"
Which begs the question: Neighborhood's WHAT for Muir? I'm assuming residents, but maybe it's fire hydrants or sidewalks?
The Gaspar's and neighborhood's for Muir!
DeleteIt is true that by showing up last evening, former Mayor Barth 's pinched visage turned several staff members into stone? This would not surprise most. Can't Hardly wait for Lisa and Teresa to move in together so they can share their sourness. There's a third room for Catherine coming right up. Tasha gets the Granny Flat! Tony? He was barbequed and devoured by the 5000 Syrians he brought into Encinitas. Dolt! With Hummus!
Delete3:17 Teresa ate GASbag for breakfast. Gaspar sat in shame with her head hung low.
DeleteLisa was spot on with her comments and ate Gaspar for lunch
Catherine took the HIGH ROAD which shows "Class" and ate Gaspar for dinner.
Talk about calling the teapot.....
DeleteTeresa is the very definition of dried up and bitter. Lisa is half a step behind her and catching up fast.
DeleteI cannot stand Gaspar, but Teresa is conniving and still tries to be relevant through her "Engage Encinitas" and "E3 Cluster" BS.
Gaspar is about as rude a person as one can get. She continually ignores speakers by keeping her head down and scribbling while they are addressing the council. I wish that one of the speakers would stop mid sentence and say to her "Mayor, I deserve your attention. Please stop playing and pay attention."
ReplyDeleteThis kind of arrogance on her part does not bode well with the citizens. In any case, we will not have to see the likes of her on the dais for much longer.
As far as MR. Paul Gaspar goes, he is no better than his wife and I would dare to say is just as arrogant,if not more. These are not the kind of people we need to represent us.
NO to GASPARS.
Voter mentality is shallow and responds to generalized feel-good cues. That's why Gaspar's (supervisor race) campaign mailers appeal to the mentality of a 3rd grader. Verbatum: "Pumpkin lattes, No traffic on I-5, Gaspar for Supervisor"??? I'm gonna get sick . . .
ReplyDeleteGaspar can not think on her feet without a script. Sounds just like Donald Trump!
DeleteYea - Gaspar is dumb as a brick! Hopefully she loses and disappears for good. Her husband doesn't stand a chance being elected Mayor.
DeleteAfter receiving the Doc Gaspar mailer with him in lab coat and stethoscope draped around his neck, I began to notice similar looking costumes at Trump rallies. Who are these people? Pretending to be MDs? Why? There is really something wrong with these pretenders.
ReplyDeleteMD really means Mentally Deficiant.
DeleteYep, that's what Paul Gaspar is.
Almost as bad as Lisa Shaffer's deceitful resume puffery...HOPING/BEGGING that someone will think that she's so smart since she failed so so miserably raising her poor lost daughter. Shaffer's resume literally says...."Dr. Shaffer lead a team of engineers, scientists and ...." when in fact Shaffer had on a bachelors degree in bullshit but she subversively and deceitfully went back in time to give herself a retroactive PhD although this worthless degree was only acquired in the last 8 years of her life as obviously as her daughter suffered miserably not having a 'normal' unfeminized and unselfish (always HUNTING 'presitgious' degrees insteaf of working and raising her illegitimate daughter. Go check it out and have a laugh and then a cry when you see 'the experiment' of her daughter. Just noticed that Lisa Shaffer's Facebook name id DEPUTY MAYOR LISA SHAFFER..always looking to replace and cover-up her lifetime of failures with worthless titles and degrees. Please go look up her resume and understand how this sociopath's mind works.
DeleteBlog Master, why not upload Hutchinson's 'Cease and Desist' letter on Catherine Blakespear/Tony "I love Leechtag" Kranz/Lisa Shaffer Brown Act Violations as presented at the City Council meeting last night?
ReplyDeleteWhy not?
DeleteUm, because it was exposed to be silly season BS by Gaspar, maybe?
I've never seen Gaspar backpedal like that.
ReplyDeleteShe couldn't close the agenda item fast enough after getting universal scorn from the community, and no air cover from the City Attorney or Mark Muir.
Here's a reenactment: http://youtu.be/Q3-a4qWCtIg
Why wasn't the author of the letter there to speak? It was so strange, with public speakers stacked with mostly Barth's little group.
DeleteTeresa Barth is a bitter woman. She did a disservice to her "legacy," which is already tarnished for many reasons. She was NOT gracious when Kristin Gaspar gave up her turn to be mayor and Council forced the City to have, for the first time in our now 30 year history, the same appointed mayor for two terms in a row, the second "term" for six months.
Barth made a big mistake claiming harassment; that backfired on her, big-time. Now, she seemed to accuse KG of more of the same with her comment that Kristin supposedly "blind-sided two of her women colleagues." What does their gender have to do with it?
According to legal precedent, which is case law, there isn't supposed to be the "appearance of wrongdoing" among public officials. While I"m sure there was no malice involved in LS's and CB's "hallway" five minute conversation, touching on a topic just discussed in a subcommittee meeting with Kranz, there was a definite appearance of wrongdoing, in disregarding the Brown Act.
Marco Gonzales didn't help matters any. Of course the statute of limitations is up for some of the earlier violations, as far as enforcement through the courts. That doesn't mean that LS and CB don't owe us, their constituents, a public apology. Also, there has been a PATTERN of Brown Act violations, so that would be relevant to the most recent breach of public trust. Furthermore, Katherine Lees was not targeted. But if she was writing e-mails regarding city business in a back and forth exchange between her and Catherine Blakespear, then those e-mails, or any other written communications on the subject should be provided to anyone submitting a public information request. Gonzales dismissing that allegation, out of hand, was unprofessional and unfair to the Mayor, who had every reason to ask that the matter should be agendized. In fact, the public discussion was demanded in the letter, which was part of the agenda report.
So tired of Barth trying to push her weight around. You are the one, Teresa, showing disrespect to your colleagues, as well as your former constituents.
Also, Glenn Sabine was WRONG in saying that a motion to release his memo, waiving attorney client privilege, would have to be agendized, and could not be voted on that night. The subject of the memo was the subject of the public agenda item. With consensus, Council could have and should have given him direction to immediately release the memo.
Catherine Blakespear was wise to keep her mouth shut. She should know that her discussing the pending lease agreement was inappropriate, and should have simply apologized, rather than trying to hide behind a group of rude bullies. It was they, not Kristin, who politicized this issue. The violation took place close to election time, that's why the letter was written and the discussion was put on an open meeting agenda.
Teresa Barth tried to leverage the Brown Act to her political advantage, yet she worked, behind the scenes, to try to eliminate time donations, and to discourage certain members of the public from speaking out and sharing their convictions. She was seen, after one late night meeting, "behind the glass door," gathering around Glenn Sabine, looking at some kind of document, with all of Council, with the exception of James Bond, who was exiting the building, briefcase in hand. Council was visible through the glass windows; but when TB was questioned about this "meeting," she threw a terrible hissy fit.
So grateful she's gone, and that LS will be soon, as well. Teresa Barth managed to alienate those who had been her ardent supporters, and to betray those who had considered her to be a friend.
1:36 Wow, Lynn, you really need to get some sleep. You ramble too much.
DeleteGASpar was in the wrong and you know it.
Blubber Boy sort of tried to save her, but he is incompetent.
DeleteIn the article about the 'cease and desist' demand of Fakespear and Shaffer; The Raisin was quoted as screaming at the Mayor that "blindsiding your peers is the height of arrogant power" or some such twaddle; her quote immediately brought top of mind the time when Barth 'blindsided' Mark and Kristin with a motion to raise sales-tax to pay the ever-expanding city budget: Barth was the blindsider and wasn't she embarrassed when it turned out that she needed 4 council votes to increase taxes; 1vote short than what she needed to succeed in her blindside; or, the time Barth was on a subcommittee with Gaspar and after 5 weeks of work, behind the scenes, Barth tried to get Gaspar to sign off on a completely 'New' layout and ordinances to replace the proposed Comprehensive General Plan Update; Barth believing Gaspar would be lazy (Like Barth) and just sign the last page of the lengthy document she rewrote with Patrick and Diane (Of course, Gaspar sat down to read the new 'doc' and found that Barth/Murphy/Strong had ignored a 'unanimous' vote and direction from City Council;Barth blindsiding not just her subcommittee Chair, but Peder Norby too!
DeleteAnd the Grandaddy of them all for the Raisin; the night Barth put her allies, Kranz and Shaffer up before the public to try and reneg on the agreement for 'sharing' the Mayorship six-months for the Raisin and six months for Kristin: AND then AFTER her plan to retain her Mayorship for another 6 months blew up in her allies faces, Barth cut them loose and pretended to side with and empathize with Gaspar as the target of bullies!
Barth was without question, the most incapable, dishonest and talentless of any of the 30 or so elected representatives the City of Encinitas has had since 1986, but you've got to admire her guts.
Deceipt, dishonesty and hubris isn't guts, it is socipathic.
DeleteGaspar wasn't in the wrong; the letter, under the threat of litigation, demanded a discussion at an open Council Meeting, which is the protocol spelled out in the Brown Act.
DeleteIf you are too unintelligent, or lazy, to remain focused for a few paragraphs, then don't read them. You resort to personal attacks against the commentator, rather than addressing the issues raised in the comment. We know you are a bully, too.
Yet another "Dr. Gaspar" mailer...guess it's working for him.
ReplyDeleteLying Lisa...hopefully she does move back to Tierra Santa and may God bless her poor daughter's soul.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the appearance of lying or just plain misinformation, the Encinitas Advocate article about Tony Kranz seems to indicate that he completed his BA. Exactly when did that happen, Tony? Tony has said that he dropped out of school to become a photographer and wished that he had actually completed his degree.
ReplyDeleteIf he was misquoted, he should correct the record with the newspaper. Another departed Encinitas politician at least spent the money on a suspicious mail order degree. Is that what Tony did too, or did he actually go back and complete his work in the last couple of years? If he actually went back and finished his degree while on council, that would be an inspiring story that would increase my respect for the guy.
Not to make it like an Obama birther thing, but maybe Tony can show us his degree from Cal Poly or correct the record since all of our candidates are well-educated--regardless of what of may think of their politics. More than that, it is a matter of trust.
So, a bachelor of arts certificate appears? Maybe Tony Kranz can free up the sworn affidavits by three women working in Parks and Rec that were submitted to the City Manager claiming, stop me if you've heard this before, the three employees having sworn to having been menaced by the councilman?
DeletePretty sure Encinitas is in the State of California and all the employment laws are supposed to be followed by the HR department. Let's not forget Tony's prior attempts at getting elected on other states. Shaffer and Catherine know all about the sworn affidavits. Does Tasha? Does the city manager? Will Encinitas Advocate write a REAL news story about Kranz?
Oh, please. This isn't like Paul Gaspar's pretending to be a doctor which actually breaks some laws (he's misleading voters, his own patients, and potential patients... you could even argue that his political ads will draw in customers for his physical therapy business so there is real consumer confusion out there). This is false equivalence. Sort of like comparing Trump's sexual assaults, lies, hostility to minority groups, undermining our democracy, and extremely poor temperament with Hillary making a bad decision to set up a private server so she didn't have to carry two Blackberry phones. Not in the same universe, folks.
Delete7:31
DeleteToday homosexual conservative Peter Theil endorsed Trump. For you is he " the wrong kind of homosexual"
Today I saw a pink bumpersticker that read " woman for Trump". For you, are they the wrong kind of woman?
Yesterday I saw video of Diamond and Silk, two black woman supporting Trump. For you are they the wrong kind of black people?
A month ago Latinos held a standing room only rally for Trump. For you are they the wrong kind of latino's?
What has undermined our democracy is race Baiting conniving politicans and their friends in the crooked media.
Hillary Clinton disobeyed congressional orders and a subpoena. She destroyed evidence, acid washed her server and her team destroyed evidence with hammers and pledge the 5th.
Today we learn CNN and DNC chair Donna Brazil gave Clinton debate questions before the debate.
Why didn't Hillary turn Brazil in? Why didn'the Hillarye send an email saying Donna, this is not fair to the Amercian people, please come up withere new questions and don'the share them with me.
YOU can't fix a rigged system by electing the people who rigged it
Kranz sold out - he is a vote block to Muir at best.
ReplyDeleteSince there has been a great deal made of Paul Gaspar not being a medical doctor but a PhD, I would like to know if Tony Kranz completed his undergraduate or if he was misquoted in the Encinitas Advocate.
ReplyDeletePaul Gaspar is a physical therapist, not a PhD.
DeletePhysical therapy is fluff medicine, if you can even call it that. It fed mainly on the workers compensation program benefits, but those were gutted by Swarzenagger's tenure. This hustle into politics is to gain favor and do the bidding of the rich developers; Gaspars are looking for the kick-backs that come by being a willing dupe(s). Dupepars - community sell-outs.
DeleteAnd we can assume that Kranz's study of printmaking is the quintessence of intellectualism! Give me a break!
DeleteThe people who are attacking Gaspar and defending Kranz on this remind me of those who attack Trump but stand up for Bill Clinton. In my book, both Gaspar and Kranz are being untruthful. It would be easy for a newspaper to call Cal Poly to find out when Anthony Jerome Kranz graduated. Degrees from public universities are largely funded by taxpayers, so it is our right to know.
ReplyDeleteTony could show some courage himself and go to the newspaper and correct the information if it was a misprint.
Kranz is a drop out. He enlisted in the Army because he didn't have the intelligence and time management skills to compete. He didn't last long in the Army either. Once married he lived with his mom in the midwest and then moved into his wife's parents house in Leucadia where he lives to this day. Kranz has never been successful in life & would likely be a drunk or homeless without his wifevs income and free living (just like Blakespear being given her Cardiff home by mommie dearest...these are both people that have never made it on their own, never toiled long enough to save for a downpayment on a home with their own two hands. Neither should be representing 'normal' unsubsidizes working families here in Encinitas. Blakespear needs to pay her angry feminist mom back for her Cardiff beachhouse ($1,000,000), 5 years of hyper-liberal worthless leftist journalism degrees ($280,000) and 3 years of law school somewhere in Utah ($192,000).
ReplyDeleteYou are wrong! Tony Kranz has been very successful. He alone helped the Leichtag Foundation destroy the citizens of Encinitas right to enjoy agricultural deed restricted open space and single-handedly voted to allow the Jewish non-profit to increase their Jewish-only office space on this agricultural land by 40% (ocean view BTW). Tony Kranz was also successful in showing us how our leaders can officially be bought off by International Jewry (just like our senstors, congressman, vp, and president) when he accepted a secret invitation to a $9,000 5-Star propaganda vacation to racist and apartheid Israel...where women still cannot ever get a divroce until their husband volunteers to sign a document called a 'get.' Most men don't sign it and purposefully start new marriages and new families and force their wives into a torturous life of misery while languishing for years for their husbands to release them, unable to remarry and having their reputatuons destroyed. And of course Israel is home to more homosexuals per capita than anyother country on earth and wins the title of having more athiests per capita than anywhere on earth. And why did your political leaders just agree to send $38,000,000,000 of your income tax dollars to Israel....control and domination.
DeleteI notice that one of the biggest campaign signs on Rancho Santa Fe Road in Olivenhain is one to unseat Tony Kranz. He has zero credibility in Olivenhain. It would be great to see him and Shaffer go out as a pair since that's how they came 2onto the council. I can't image that he ha has that many friends outside of developers and bar owners.
