BETTER YET, DO NOT CEITICIZE OR SPECULATE ON IMAGIBED OFFENSES UNTIL AFTER THE OFFENSE !

SO OME WOULD THINK ! tHE PROBLEM IS ONE OF bOOTH’S OWN MAKING FOR IT IS SHE WHO ALMOST FROM THE GIT GO WAS CRITICAL OF MR. ARMAS. IT WAS BOOTH WHO WAS MOST WHO SUPPORTED A VICIOUS ‘NOM DE PLUME’ TYPE USING THE NAME OBAMA NEW AGE WHO ATTACKED armas and who went on to accuse me…. of stralking her daughter and it was booth who suggested to obama new age that she take that complaint to hpd.

ut is booth who ‘dismisses’ Armas for his effort in bringing about the new burbank school and it is booth who raises the ‘slight’ by suggesting that Armas ought be ‘watched’ for possible refusal ti recuse himself from an issue on Wwednseday night’s agenda at husd.

Is it possible that while Booth waS ON CITY’S PERSONNEL; cOMMISSION, THAT SHE TANGLES WITH ARMAS?

HER COMMENTS SEETH WITH INUENDO AHEN THEW NAME ARMNAS IS INTRODUCED.

bE CAREFUL THAT IN YOUR DEFENSE OF BOOTH THAT YOU ARE NOT PAINTED WITH THE SAME TARBRUSH!

I can see that you are an Armas supporter. I do not take issue with that either. I believe we should support the people we elect to serve.

Your enthusiasm goes too far when you feel you must go beyond your feelings and begin to vilify those who don’t agree. Furthermore, it is for Mr. Armas’s own good to get these underlying issues out in the open where they can be settled rather than kept undercover where they fester and undermine the good he would do. I encourage him to raise the issue himself and clear the air for all of us.

The contributors of the last two items above sem to overlook the fact that some unknon cause of antagonism exists between Mr. Armas and Ms. Booth. The lady has been highly critical of Mr Amas from the day when she first started contributing items to the nlog in early August of 2010, about four full months after Arnmas was selected as replace,ment for the departed Sarah Gonzalez.

Perhaps some comflicts occurred between the two when He was City Manager and she a member of City personnel commission. Who knaows, I only speculate for ythe l;ack of any suggestion which would explaine the antagonism by those opposed to Mr. Armas.

I personnaly know the man by his actions such as the masterpiece of political knowledge and personal administrative skills used in aiding of HUSD with the Burbank School redevelopment… a fact which I have discussed earlier in this blog.…. As well as the unsolicited assistance he provided to a project which became the ‘Site Resident’ program at Longwood School which saw majpt suucces in elimination of %50,000 pet year at Longwood alone, mow abandoned by now departed ‘ewcomers to administration’. That which was offered to Longwood School, as repalcemet for the site resident, after gaining posession of the cottage, has been unsuccessful….. and a major pain to my own sense of justice often expressed which involves the area in which Ms. Booth lives.

Armas is tuned into the community…. I unabashedly admire him for his alertness, and willingness to dig in and contribute untold hours for a pittance even at the now abandoned previous prevailing rate of remuneration now about halved, due to complaits from she who wanted revovery of untold sums…from all previous Trustes that we were to nbe able to locate……util reminded that her husband, a single term member of the HUSD Board of Trustees would also have to give back 48 months of overpaid stipend amounting to someting near $15,000.

From that point on we saw nothing more to read about the refund but the antagonism towards the Appointment of Mr Armas, begun in August of 2010 continues…. But now finding support from those whose contributions of well being expressed in deeds, remain refused to City and School District. They seem to remain limited to future ’carping’ about what should be done, or removed from action lists.

I also believe that Kathi has brought up an interesting question about Mr. Armas. Without having done any researcch myself, it does have the appearance of a conflict of interest to me. Further, whether or not it is a legal conflict doesn’t really matter once the people have lost faith in their representatives.

It is my hop-e that you will reach into your interior self, then grope around to find the courage to present your self at public comments at the appropiate moment in the discussion on ‘pink slips’ ND RAISE YOUR CONCERN IN mR. aREMAS PRESENCE.

oF cORSE THAT ASSUMES THAT YOU ABANDON THE PRACTICE OF ‘SNIP0ING’ THROUGH THE BL;G OPPORTUNITY.

iT’S A QUESTIO0N OF COURAGE ON YOUR PARET!

Mr. Armas tread a very fine line at the last meeting when he participated in a discussion of furlough days for district administrators..While his discussion and ultimate suggestion was very well thought out and made a good deal of sense, it could never the less be seen as a conflict of interest, since his spouse’s position was one that would be affected by board action.

Hopefully, Mr. Armas will do the right thing and allow his colleagues to determine the vote without him.
