City manager mum on expensive car

November 4th, 2009, 11:36 am · 3 Comments · posted by Teri Sforza, Register staff writer

2010_toyota_sequoiaThe silence fromLaguna Hills officialdom was deafening after we asked about the city manager’s $60,000 Toyota last week.

Bruce Channing didn’t return our phone call or emails, but he did respond to our colleague Alejandra Molina - saying, essentially, that he wouldn’t say anything.

“It’s just unfortunately inappropriate for me to comment and weigh in on a part of a political campaign platform,” Channing said in a telephone message to Molina.

Read  Molina’s story about how Channing got the maximum performance bonus of $23,000 (10 percent of his salary) last year, as the economy was crumbling to pieces.

    What can he say??

    He’s been caught red-handed with the goods.

    By turning down the $60000 ride it would make his city council flunkies look bad.

    So he will keep it and hope the story fades away. He will count on the citizens of LH having short memories.

    What other strategy could he possibly employ at this point?

    But one thing for sure. The people are fed up with this stuff and reality will begin to rear it’s ugly head at the voting booths.

    “It’s” is a contraction meaning it is. Of course your righteous indignation blinded you to proper grammar. Did it also blind you to having one positive thought? Perhaps you should start a recall effort to clean out the filth at LH City Hall. Go ahead. You’ll likely find the voters are nearly as enraged as you imagine.

    The City Council clearly values Mr. Channing’s talents as a manager, and pay him accordingly. If he felt he was under compensated, he might opt to move to another City. Unfortunately, he would be hard pressed to find another city in OC that pays as well as LH.
