BOMB SHELL! Vista Watchdog 1 confirms "MANY"secret meeting with Bales at his house

Vista Watchdog 1, an ANTI public education blogger on the North County Times website, has tonight not only identified himself, by elimination, as our former school board member, Dr. Stephen Guffanti, he has also confirmed our worst suspicions that he, Jim Gibson and Dr. Joyce Bales have had frequent secret meetings at his house.

Here is the BOMB SHELL REVELATION. In his post at 6:26 on October 27, 2009, Vista Watchdog wrote the following:

"I've had Dr. Bales over to my place many times and had a board member there as well. Of course, that only accounts for two out of the three required for a Brown Act violation.”

Who but Dr. Stephen Guffanti could have truthfully written that? *(see below)*

Vista Watchdog 1 in this post and in one other has claimed to be a former school board member.

Also notice that he has had another board member there as well. Who could that be but Jim Gibson? And Dr. Joyce Bales was there with the two of them at his place "many times".

Frequent secret meetings involving Guffanti, Gibson and Bales! What goes on at those meetings? What information is passed from Bales to Gibson and Guffanti to undermine the other PRO PUBLIC education school board members? Are these the meetings where Guffanti and Gibson secretly decided to delay the building of the third high school by five years at a cost of FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS? Was this decision made to deliberately cause financial hardship for our fact based public schools that they despise so much?

Below is his full post in which he slanders and libels current board members alleging numerous secret board meetings in violation of California State Law. Of course he provides NO DATES, NO NAMES, NO collaboration of any kind, nothing--just nebulous charges.

He like all our ANTI Public education folks have problems with facts. They do not like them. That is one of the reasons they are against fact based science, history and sex education curricula.

Here is his post of slander and innuendo without any factual support or basis:

Hey con no more: That was NOT the only meeting of folks like that, I've had Dr. Bales over to my place many times and had a board member there as well. Of course, that only accounts for two out of the three required for a Brown Act violation. Since I also happen to know Carol rather well, I can very easily account for at least 6 meetings that took place at her house where she had two other current Board members present. Brown Act violation! This is, and has been a very regular happening at VUSD for more years than I care to mention. In fact, I recall quite a few meetings between the VTA Pres., the VUSD Super, and two or three board members that used to take place at the Shadow Ridge Country Club rather regularly. But, whose counting? The results have been pretty much the same for that last two decades: the quality of education at VUSD has suffered as the children continue to suffer, and the Hispanics are routinely blamed for all VUSD's woes! But, you wouldn't know anything about any of these as you are too young to remember when VUSD was the BEST district in the County and SD County was one of the TOP Counties in CA while CA ranked #1 in the Nation and the US was #1 in the world. Now... Well VUSD is near the bottom in SD County, with SD County near the bottom of the state, with CA ranked #47th nationally, and the US is now ranked #16 in the world (and that last two stats are from the CTA news letter I got last year!). So, go right on defending the undefendable, in the end it will be your country that suffers as I will be long dead and buried!


*Editor's note today October 28, 2009 the day after this post was first published, I have been asked to claify and expand on why I believe this sentence has to identify VWdog as Dr. Guffanti. OK, I can do that.

(1) Vista Watchdog 1 has been the most active ANTI blogger supporting Jim Gibson and Dr. Stephen Guffanti before and since the November election.

(2)VWdog's comments in the North County Times frequently demonstrate a virulent dislike of Elizabeth Jaka, Carol Herrera and to a lesser extent Angela Chunka.

(3)In a previous VWdog post on the North County Times website, which was posted before the November 2008 election when Dr. Guffanti was defeated, VWdog incorrectly surmised that my posts defending public education were written by Elizabeth Jaka. He even refered to me as a "meddling housewife." In a response to me where he was trying to insult the blogger, he thought was Jaka, he bragged about "getting far more votes than you did".

(4)In this post in red above, he says that if there is a meeting with himself and one other school board member than there were TWO school board members at the meeting refering to himself indirectly as the other school board member.

(5)When Guffanti was on still a member of our VUSD school board he refered to himself as a watchdog.

HOWEVER--It should be noted that VWdog could be lying to try to inflate himself and his posts. I have caught him in three blatant lies in the last couple of months.
