Shortly after last week’s Morro Bay City Council meeting, I reached out to Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce Chairperson Cherise Hansson. I requested the Board of Directors take a vote to officially rescind the vote they originally took to authorize the merger with San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce. I received word back that Hansson …

I wasn’t going to respond to Morro Bay resident Carol Swain’s utterly strange letter to the editor in the Nov. 30 – Dec. 13, 2023 edition of Estero Bay News. But her letter perpetuates a troubling pattern of local elitists thumbing their collective noses at the community at large for no good reason. Swain starts …

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 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 …

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 …
