There is a very well known axiom in Orange County Politics – you can’t get anywhere in San Clemente unless you oppose the toll road. Yet, here is Diane Harkey palling around with Mr. Anti-Toll Road Gene James. Did Harkey call her former employee Jeff Corless to tell him what she was doing in San Clemente? Did Harkey call anyone and seek their advice before doing two events and running a current drill for Gene James?

The rabid dogs – including Gene James and the crazed lefty moonbat Kathy Ward are the leaders of the NIMBY’s in San Clemente. They turned on one of their own, Laura Ferguson when she dared to ask questions about the over $2 Million paid to Harvey Englander to smear Jeff Corless and others leading the effort to build the toll road extension in Southern Orange County.

In the course of our expose’ we revealed that the City of San Clemente may very well have been violating state law repeatedly. One such violation is when an internal city poll done by the questionable Adam Problosky found its’ way onto a facebook page opposing the toll road in Southern Orange County. Another such violation was the payoffs to Harvey Englander to run a quasi- legal racketeering operation where he was paid by the City of San Clemente to harass, threaten, intimidate and abuse existing legal processes to smear people that were doing their work on the project.

Your intrepid blogger had been told regarding the City of San Clemente: “Englander got paid a lot of money, somewhere around $2 Million” – yet until the City set fire to themselves in a council meeting agenda, there were no public records of the expenditures. “But Harvey Englander appears to have been getting $32,500 a month to file lawsuits, public records requests, oragnize opposition, run facebook pages and other sundry smear campaigns. Don’t take my word for it – the City of San Clemente just admitted as such in their reports. We have only been able to confirm $97,000 to EKA up to this point, now the City of San Clemente in City Meeting Minutes states that EKA was being paid $32,500 a month.”

Let’s take a look at Gene James’ financial maladies. Remember Diane Harkey has liens, judgments, lawsuits and the like. Perhaps this is an affinity between the two of them?
