This morning, I had the pleasure of touring the Simi Valley Landfill. Yep, I said “pleasure.” It was truly a fascinating experience. About three years ago, I brought several loads to the landfill to dump on a Saturday afternoon and was amazed by all the things to see. The brief experience...

We need to rely on good, sound science - Steve Sojka This past Monday, I missed the City Council meeting where the status of Runkle Canyon was discussed. I caught the playback and was fascinated by what I saw! I can’t help but wonder if the Radiation Rangers are hysterical, or if they’re...

In the Simi Valley Acorn this morning: In response to the idea of a $100 donation from every household for the schools, I think it is a start, but not enough. Meanwhile, we all wonder how the C4 Bond Funds are being spent and people like me wonder if they’ll have the chance to sit on the...

I’ve been in contact with the Simi Valley Landfill and I’m pleased to say that I have a tour scheduled for November 24th.  I’m excited and that’s no joke.  Unlike most people, I like landfills.  The reason is because I produce trash and I’m pleased that as a producer...

Big thanks to Brian Dennert for posting an article about the call for committee members for the C4 Bond Oversight Committee.  I applied.

Now that the incumbents have secured their positions on the Simi Valley City Council, how will the challengers strengthen their positions the next time they run?  Bruce Witkin, challenger for Mayor (who received my support and my vote this election) took on the challenging and seemingly impossible task...

I have to admit some level of disappointment with the election results, specifically related to the School Board. From the teachers’ standpoint, apparently status quo is preferred. However, from the standpoint of a parent with school age kids, I’m not satisfied. I can’t pretend to...

With numbers leaving little doubt, the incumbents in the major Simi Valley elections score a victory, but not without first proving that some candidates made a very worthy first shot and what will no doubt become a political future for some. Simi Valley Mayor Paul Miller is our mayor again, with 78.66%...

If you’ve seen any of my videos, you may think of me as overly sarcastic.  The fact is, I am truly passionate about the City of Simi Valley and related matters.  I’ve been critical of city programs like Shop Simi Valley First, a fact that City Councilmember Steve Sojka approached me on,...
