Muirs apparently leaving town, teachers' union detective discovers

 Times of San Diego:

Amid residency doubts, a private investigator hired by a local teachers union tailed the president of the San Dieguito school board at least twice to see if she went home after board meetings.

Instead, Maureen “Mo” Muir, the two-term board member, drove to hotels, including one in San Marcos, said Duncan Brown, president of the San Dieguito Faculty Association.

Brown said union money — he wouldn’t say how much — paid for the private eye.
Real estate sites show the Muir home having been listed for sale in 2019, and having a sale pending as of last week.

The Muirs burned a lot of bridges in the community and in their Republican Party with Mark Muir's dirty tricks robocall against fellow Republican Phil Graham in support of his wife's state assembly run.

Mark Muir remains Encinitas' all-time pension champion, at $199,680 per year.

After controlling the school board for years, the teachers' union now finds itself without majority control, and is attempting a recall of newly elected trustee Michael Allman.

    The reality is it's all bullshit.

    Your life is bullshit all bullshit except of course if you're a Democrat all opponents are criminals and bullshit artistes but registered democrats never lie and are rightly god-emperors.

    Embrace the suck and buy guns
    Lots of guns' ammo and duck butter.

    Duck butter is akin to a spike protein.

    Fwiw I loved toasted peanut butter and butter sandwiches when I was younger.

  4. How can anyone trust the Muirs after the failed state assembly bid with the criminal robocalls against their own party candidate. What is with the failed assembly run candidates turning the school board into a political fall back before launching their next political campaign. They should remove the entire school board and start over. Nice pension for Big Mark though.

  6. Anything that will end the child killing Teachers Union is great in my book. The teachers union showed their disregard of children during their COVID response which harmed our children's health beyond belief.

    The horrific teachers unions and union lemons need to go. Thank you Mo!

  7. Sorry that this is off topic, but everybody should be aware that there are very large salary increases for most Department Directors deeply hidden in the upcoming Encinitas budget that is set to be adopted on the consent agenda at today’s City Council Meeting. The increase in Director salaries is not discussed in the agenda report at all. Instead, you must go to Attachment 7 – Salary Schedule to find out that all Directors will now be in the same salary range that tops out at $203,703 (see page 38 of the agenda report). Currently, various Director positions do not all fall into the same salary range. Here are the salary increases that Directors will see under the new budget:



    City Clerk – a 37.9% increase over their current $147,752 salary

    Director of Human Resources – an 18.9% increase over their current $171,358 salary (This reclass was discussed briefly in the budget introduction two weeks ago, but the justification was that they would now also take over workers compensation – which most HR Directors already do anyway. The HR Director in Carlsbad, a much bigger city, oversees work compensation and only makes $182,000)

    Director of Parks and Rec & Director of Public Works – an 11.6% increase over their $182,496 salary.

    Director of Finance – a 6.3% increase over their $191,621 salary



    Whenever there has been a proposed change in a position’s salary range in the past, the justification for that change and the fiscal impact were always discussed in detail in the agenda report. This time, the City Manager is trying very hard to hide these increases from the public. The City’s policy is to also set employee pay at the median level of the region, but with these raises the Department Directors will now become the highest paid in the County. If the Council is aware of these increases and approves of hiding them this way, then shame on them. If they are not aware of the increases, then the City Manager needs to go.

    1. Oh, the council is aware. They are buying staff complicity when they go to them with their "requests." This is what the council did when they pushed to raise staff pensions 35% in one night.

      Kranz can answer for himself here but it's out there that he thinks he won't get responses from staff if he doesn't play nice and reward. True?

  8. Wow, the City has no money to complete capital projects and has to borrow $20 million to do a crappy, watered-down version of Streetscape, but they have of money to make their Department Directors the highest paid in the county. City of Bell Part 2?
