I would definitely love to part of this opportunity!

Let’s hope Rex doesn’t try to influence this group with more of his henchmen like he’s done with all the other boards, IBEW, and soon the election. He should worry about his own town.
Lancaster Mayor says
Former Lancaster Mayor Henry Hearns is on this Palmdale committee, Why? How many members of his church need to be on this. Those members are causing many problems by supporting lawsuits that are not based on reality. This has got to stop !!!
Nowrecks says
Henry Hearns, V. Jesse Smith, Emmett Murrell, Xavier Flores, Robert Alvarado, Marvin Crist, Darren Parker, Juan Carillo Ventura, Kathy MacLauren, Dr. Miguel Coronado——-all Rex toadies. Avoid them and the people they influence at all costs if you want a Rex free AV.
Lil Angel says
Additionally, what about members of CAIR? Does that not concern you? The FBI refuses to allow them to participate in their Citizen’s Academy (1-20 13-007R / Sept. 2013). CAIR is an entity of Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas. There is a Bill moving through Congress to designate the MB a terrorist organization (http://tinyurl.com/hptnoot). Do we REALLY want people like that ‘guiding’ our community??
Palmdalians says
The only people that concern me are stooges of R. Rex Parris. They follow a man who is out to harm Palmdale and Santa Clarita out of petty jealousy and spite.
Mayor Parris is the kind of influence we need in Palmdale.
He supports commissioners who are anti Semitic and homophobic.
He puts out racist hit mailers calling an African American veteran a ‘gang candidate’.
He supports council women who make hate speech towards Muslims.
He is part of a separationist ultra fundamental cult-like church that is highly politically charged.
He sues his neighboring cities for voting districts he refuses to implement in his own city.
He wastes taxpayer dollars on idiotic ideas like LEAPS which only serves to make money for his political friends.
He destroys out beautiful desert with solar projects and exposes our residents to Valley Fever and particulate pollution. He places his employees, including his own brother, on boards and in position of high influence.
He boasts of creating a Christian Community, which in reality is neither Christian nor a community, to the exclusion of all other faiths.
He purchases real estate in redevelopment zones which is forbidden by state law.
He imposes a big box retail centeracross the street from a height school against the wishes of the citizens.
He claims that 67 people a day are being sent to Lancaster from Los Angeles and threatens to illegally shut down a Metrolink station.
He blames rising crime in Lancaster on the homeless.
He hurts his two local brewing companies by banning the sale of single bottles of beer.
He interjects himself unwantedly into the affairs of his neighboring cities.
He repeatedly attempts to thwart business growth by opposing projects or influencing others to do so.
Followers and supporters of R. Rex Parris are the only ones I do not wish to see in this group.
Shane Falco says
Sounds like the perfect opportunity for many here that want to share their expertise in just how poor of a job these corrupt deputies are. They are actually opening up positions with the specific intent to hear from you. Step out from behind the keyboard and actually do something like many of us are doing out in your community.
Of course, like the biggest cop hater commenter here, many might have trouble with the pesky background check and LiveScan.
