“I am pleased to turn over the duties of mayor to Councilmember Austin Bishop, who has demonstrated his dedication to the residents of Palmdale and our entire community,” Bettencourt said. “Residents can expect great things to continue in Palmdale under his thoughtful leadership.”
The Palmdale City Council unanimously adopted an ordinance at the August 16, 2023, Council meeting to establish a rotational system for the mayor and mayor pro tem positions. The ordinance, which amends section 2.08.010 of the Palmdale Municipal Code, establishes a predictable process for designating the mayor and selecting the mayor pro tem each year. The system will follow a numerical sequence based on the five electoral districts established in the city of Palmdale.
Councilmember Bishop was elected to the Palmdale City Council on Nov. 8, 2016, and reelected on Nov. 3, 2020. He previously served as mayor pro tem from Jan. 2019 through Dec. 2019.
Councilmember Loa was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Palmdale City Council on December 11, 2018. He was elected to a full term on Nov. 3, 2020, and was named mayor pro tem on Dec. 3, 2019 and Dec. 15, 2021. Loa was first elected to the Council in 2001, serving a four-year term.

Eyes on Lancaster says
All money roads lead to the Lancaster political machine. Biship got $2,500 from Rexx, $500 from Kenny Mann, and $500 from Waste Management, where Kenny’s son works. The AV Auto Dealers, another connected group, threw in $5,000. This isn’t as much as the $14,700 that the good old boys threw in for Alacarn, but Biship was an incumbent. A strange donation was made by MINC, Inc, a non profit in Lancaster. Why would a non profit group in Lancaster give a Palmdale candidate $2,000? A better question is, why is a non profit donating at all.
Until people vote out the corruption that permeates the AV, the cycle will continue. It wouldn’t be so bad if we the people were actually getting something from this leadership. But look around and even a blind bat can see that the only ones benefitting are the Chosen Few.
Keep Palmdale Money in Palmdale says
Why does Lancaster spend so much money on Palmdale politicians? Maybe the $17 million dollars Bishop and the other bought and paid for council sent to Lancaster tells why.
Templer says
There is a certain piece of writing I always leave out it’s a timmy trait fake templer. It’ll be nice if the IT ever improves here so that a certain person that is in his 60s that likes too boast about criminality gets shut down with his bs.

He’s the best mayor Lancaster money can buy. Which isn’t saying much.
Quid Pro Quo says
The FBI is in Lancaster now. With Bishop’s ties and the monetary contributions from the good old boys, things could get interesting.

Palmdale Taxpayer says
Marv’s boy is running the show now. How far Palmdale has fallen. Will he help send another $10 million to Lancaster for their stupid projects?

LOL…sure man. Once your mind is made up it’s so easy to find proof, isn’t it. I don’t need to clown you with this swarm tactic. The only person who doesn’t recognize that I already have clowned you completely is you. I do think it’s hilarious though, so props to whoever it is.
