On Tuesday, I posed two questions to the Morro Bay City Council. I asked these questions and addressed the entire council. On Sept. 10 of last year, Castle Winds CEO Alla Weinstein, donated $2,000 to then-mayor John Headding’s re-election campaign. On Nov. 1, Weinstein met with the council to negotiate the price and terms of …
Morro Bay City Councilmember Jen Ford’s Failure to Communicate Read More »
Last night, I called for Morro Bay Councilwoman Jen Ford to resign. This is not something I wanted to do, especially when they were just elected into office after being appointed — and after I voluntarily withdrew my FPPC complaint against them last year. Here’s why. Ms. Ford accepted a full-time position as Senior Field …
Just wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe holidays. In the spirit of the holidays, I’ve made a conscious effort to reach out to the Morro Bay residents, especially those I was critical of during our most recent election season. I’ve also decided to formally withdraw my Fair Political Practices Commission complaint against former …
This week, I made my 2019 book Defamers: How Fake News Terrorized a Community & Those Who Dared to Fight It available for free as an electronic copy. You can download it by clicking here. I made my book free because, as of late, I’ve seen a ton of links shared to Cal Coast News …
Thank you, Morro Bay, for voting in the November 8, 2022 General Election. We’re seeing a paradigm shift in our community that was sorely needed. The voters have spoken to that. Congratulations to Carla Wixom, our next mayor. It’s been a long road for Carla, who spent decades selflessly giving back to the community as …

Without evidence, Ms. Addis claimed that Democrats support Mayor Headding. Headding is not listed as an endorsement by the SLO County Democratic Party. So my question is: are these the same …
Morro Bay Mayor John Headding and Helios Dayspring Read More »
This week, I heard from several Morro Bay residents who expressed concern about censorship pertaining to discussions about our local elections. Nextdoor, one of the leading community-centric social networking platforms, is a lightning rod for discussions on local politics. Since my account was temporarily deactivated, residents wondered whether or not I was “de-platformed” for political …
Morro Bay Mayor John Headding continues to engage in questionable conduct. According to his campaign’s FPPC Form 497 Contribution Report from Sept. 12, 2022, Mayor Headding received his largest campaign contribution from Alla Weinstein for $2,000. Weinstein is listed as an engineer for Global Business Alliance, LLC (“GBA”). On their website, GBA describes themselves as …
More Conflict of Interest Concerns Re: Mayor Headding Read More »
Shortly after I shared a link to my post about Rock Harbor Marketing, Nextdoor informed me that my account was temporarily suspended due to public shaming, which is a violation of Community Guidelines. They informed me of a comment where I was highly critical of an individual who personally targeted me on the platform under …
I am officially calling for Morro Bay clients of Rock Harbor Marketing to suspend or terminate services until they commit to improving themselves and eliminating any and all conflicts of interest with the City of Morro Bay and/or their elected officials. At the August 23 Morro Bay City Council meeting, I attempted to express concerns …
