Think I found Vreeland!


Councilmember Jim Vreeland sighting.  
 
Charles, Prince of Wales, visits the historic site of Chellah on April 5 during a three-day visit to Morocco .


Pacifica, remember me:   "I saved Pedro Point, and Linda Mar Beach".  And thanks Cecilia for this little gift!*

*Reference to a recent sarcastic comment by Anonymous, something like "Cecilia when you depart, leave the Rolex on the table." We'll say she will. 

Disclaimer:  the above post is only partially fair.  


Edited and updated 4/18/11 to also include "Saving Linda Mar Beach" (a $2 million dollar comment on this article from Anon 4/17/11, 10:03pm). 

With regard to other Anonymous comments, for the record, leaving the Rolodex on the table might be more important, but leaving the Rolex watch (stated as the Rolex) on the table was funny with visual staying power.

Ummm, Kathy, are you under the impression that a Rolodex is a watch?

There is no shame in thinking a Rolodex is a watch, Kathy.

Well, yes there is.

Kathy Meeh said...

Anon, you did say Rolex, but just got a email from a friend who said getting the Rolodex would be a whole lot more important. What the heck, get both Jimmy V!

why does vree get credit 4 pedro point? because he posed in front of fresh and easy in a hard hat?

Anonymous said...

Oh let him have it. Wonder if he thinks any of it is worth his personal meltdown.

"save"? at least 2 businesses got jerked around and relocated to make way for fresh and easy in 2008. funny how vreeland can still convince people this shell game of his on the monopoly board of pacifica is "progress".

sort of like how he "cleaned" up linda mar beach, claiming it was all grants but costing the city over $2 million . . . and it translated into a flat revenue stream for 4+ years (during an economic boom) but the psd crowd will crow how it "revitalized" the area.

wake the heck up people. greatest con man in the history of our town.

You're preaching to the choir.

Is one person named Anonymous carrying on a conversation with himself/herself?

Uh, let me check that previous post again. No definitely not. However the word verification I just got is "raving". Whoohoo!

What happened to the part about this post not being true -- afraid of getting sued?

Reverse logic on your part Anon 857. Think about it.

This thread makes no sense.

Does this site ever make much sense? Does Vreeland look like Prince Charles other than they are both white males?

This entry did have a disclaimer to the effect of:

"Disclaimer: the above post is not true and only partially fair." Just wondering why it was changed.

Kathy Meeh said...

Ironic "spoof" humor, with credible comments added in the update.

White male? True: In the news, "its good to be the king", and he's looking for his watch. Inspired by recent Anonymous comments here.

Hey Meeh said...

Try to figure out where Jimmy V has been hiding out!!!

Kathy Meeh said...

"Hey", you put my name on your post, but why do I care where Councilmember Vreeland is? I don't. Hope he is well, and not seriously ill or troubled (same for his family).

As discussed in blog comments, something is not working, Vreeland does not show-up for a minimum standard of city governance: city council meetings. He almost did not show up for his campaign during the Fall. His absence has gone on long enough, I believe the community is owed an explanation, and/or he should step down. That's my opinion.

If you want to start a recall effort, I'll sign the petition, and join with others to support. I continue to be deeply disappointing that long-term city council members 4 (now 3) have schmoozing this city down a twisted path into an economic ditch.

Stupid Thread said...

No way. I ain't signing no recall. The people voted for him.

CouncilMember Vreeland should make a statement of some kind and I am sure he has an explanation.

NADA said...

It doesn't matter. YES.! You are right people voted for him. But right now he has been absent for so long that the citizen are upset for not been in council meetings making decisions on very important issues.
Also you just don't get elected and keep getting paid for nothing.
Time for him to go.Enough is enough. He is been in office for too long.

mike bell said...

deJarnatt announced a few months ago during a Council meeting in response to the public's questions about Vreeland's chronic absences that he (deJarnatt) "was in touch with Vreeland who has a medical condition which is not serious".
Apparently, deJarnatt a public official and our employee, knows what's going on and must fess up, unless of course it was just another one of his $7,000,000 Surplus lies. Truth or not, he has given Vreeland and excused absence and should be compelled to inform the paying public.

I think if they could say something informative and accurate they would do so to avoid the questions and endless speculation. Obviously someone or several someones have made a decision to continue the information blackout. I don't miss him, don't wish him any harm, and would vote to recall him without hesitation. Jim Vreeland and Pacifica need to move on.

Vreelander was at council so "Sneaky" Pete Dejarnatt was absent

A sighting does not a councilmember make. Let's see if he's going to stick. Last night was about the beach. No way was he going to let a bunch of whacky old birders fence it off and take over 'cause that's his beach, goddammit!
