It is one thing to speak up, it is quite another to personally and viciously attack people, council members or otherwise. Morris Curry made slanderous allegations against Lori Luporini which had no basis in fact, and were slanderous. You can read about them in the Times Herald. Curry has a history o...

Accusations that Vice Mayor Lori Luporini has used a dummy address for the past year to keep her eligibility as a City Council member are not supported by evidence, American Canyon's city attorney said Friday. Times Herald paper today I concur, and in fact, have copies of Lori's cancelled checks an...

Vintage Ranch did put in an owner occupancy agreement later in the subdivision. In the earlier phases they did not have one. In the two I bought, they did have one, however, since both these homes were dropped sales(the buyers couldnt get a loan) and the upgrades were selected, they sold them to me ...

Paul Maguire

Accusation and claim by Cori: The homes at Vintage ranch had to be owner occupied for the first year; FACT; I bought two homes at Vintage Ranch NON OWNER OCCUPIED,and did a 1031 TAX DEFFERRED EXCHANGE, and Vintage Ranch was fine with it and knew I was renting the homes. Lori rented one of those home...

Paul Maguire

Well you know, I actually ran for office, and I as recall, Cindy won fair and square, and Lori was right behind her. Whatever your opinion of these two council members, they work their asses off for this city and on behalf of this city. If you don't agree with them, fine. but lets not rewrite the hi...

Linda, In response to your question about references of these questionaires being used see the following link, page 21 of 36, along with the references cited on page 34 of 36. Also, a good friend of mine in Rocklin CA found out about these questions in the form of a test, and his children advised hi...

Recently American Canyon has been talking about "mental health services" in our schools. Unfortunately, and I am not sure if this is the case in American Canyon yet, but unfortunately many of the so called programs are simply ways to put more children on drugs by psychiatrists. The trick i...

Who is "she" that you refer too? As for "she" didn't do this or that, how would you know? Were you there? Did you witness a conversation between myself and this "she "you refer too? Or, are you spreading rumors, passing on "she" or her side of a story. The fac...

It IS bash Maguire night. Hum, my neighbors, name calling.....hum, wonder who that could be. Treating my neighbors bad....hum, wonder who that would be.

Your post is like, psychotic. Get help.

If you want to shoot somebody, go to the paint ball jungle.

Paul Maguire

Is it bash Maguire night. Your comments are duly noted. BTW, the election is about 1 year away.

Paul Maguire

You sure hear alot.

William Jefferson Clinton was NOT impeached actually.

I think the grand jury probably has better things to look into than our petty politics- like the loss of 30% of our water year after year!

Paul Maguire

The latest charge against CouncilPerson Coffey is that she opened up her campaign account in a Marin County Washington Mutual Office using Shamet's name, without her knowledge. Now we are looking at Bank Fraud and Campaign Fund Violations. The City Attorney, City Manager, City Clerk, Napa County El...

San Leandro did it. They turned the old landfill into a golf course and walking park. In another area, they put in an exercise course with a long walking asphalt trail around it. It is very popular. I similar park could be put at the old landfill. Perhaps a 9 hole could be put by the high school to ...

Paul Maguire

Victor, you are right on point. So few people are even blessed to be living here in the USA- a good number of the rest of the world is born in places that are no so pleasant to live, with regular wars, political instability, religious intolerance, evil practices and so on.... Needless to say, we hav...

Paul Maguire

I dont know who you are, and I dont know what you are talking about. Instead of making general comments, what specifically are you talking about? Cindy and I have no "agenda" "strategy" or "hidden purpose". Ask and I will answer, but please, dont make general accusation...

Paul Maguire

Well, from what I gather, a heck of alot more members come into the card room than go to several of the other businesses around here, with the exception of 7-11 and Safeway, and the gas stations. The Marriott does well, however, most of those are out of town folks. However, you have probably never b...

Paul Maguire

Well the council seems against it as well which is a good thing. The mayor wrote a letter about it, and several of the other council members were against it as well. From what I could tell, there are a number of issues the council has, and it appeared they were not happy with the way the message was...

Paul Maguire

Well guest, from what I have seen and learned, there are people working together. But, some are working together in a manner to help others; recent examples are the Abbeville project, the 10K donated on behalf of the residents of this city by the council, and the young lady we all kicked in to help ...

Paul Maguire

The issue will not come up in November, and currently as I understand it, the measure is not a ballot item yet, but the plan is sometime in 2006. Other issues are also not addressed as I understand it. As an example, if you widen highway 12- so what, unless you have two lanes going onto highway 80, ...

Paul Maguire

I was sitting at Canyon Cafe on Tuesday for Breakfast, and our Mayor Cecil Shaver was finishing his breakfast as I arrived. He is regular there, as am I. Innocently, I pick up the latest American Canyon Eagle, looking for some entertaining copy to read while waiting to order. I starting in on the sa...

Paul Maguire

The Walmart issue is still being litigated in the 9th district court of appeals. Should Walmart prevail, there will be one opening soon. Should they not prevail, it will be a different matter. Right now it is not clear what the outcome will be, so it appears to be premature to be able to tell any po...

Paul Maguire

You know, it is unfortunate that Kathleen would fire such a parting shot at Councilmember Coffey. But more unfortunate, is how excited and happy a group of you are to have an opportunity to promote these allegations- which is what they are, allegations- against Councilmember Coffey, and even go so f...

Paul Maguire

The city council is not luring anyone to American Canyon, unless they provide some incentive to come here. For the Gia Hotel, they gave up some tax credits. More to the point, the private development of new homes is bringing commercial interest here. That is the motivator for businesses. Quiznos has...

Paul Maguire

LOL- now that really IS funny. Thanks for making me smile.

Paul Maguire

Abbeville LA was on CNN all day today, and is in 4 feet of water tonight. Abbeville evacuated all the earlier displaced residents from Katrina, and then evacuated their own town for Rita. This is a city that definately needs help. It is a good thing these Americans can count on their fellow countrym...

Paul Maguire

Thanks guest for your enlightening comments. I am definately bad for the community- thats why I ran for office, you know, to get in there and wreck stuff- thats why I donated to causes in the city, you know, to be a detriment to whats going on- thats why I go to council meetings when I can- you know...

Paul Maguire

Nothing like city water cooler gossip. Pretty tough to figure out that Coffey and I have business together when I advertise on the back page of her paper, hey? As for your conspiracy theories- well, he is a bit of history for you. I had an issue one time before the council some years ago, for my bus...

Paul Maguire

So what are you troubled about exactly? Councilmember Luporini is not alone in her concerns about the ability of the red cross to delivery in a timely manner, or at all. And for the record, I donated to the red cross. In my mind, the red cross is your secondary help, coming in days or weeks later, a...

Paul Maguire

Well, I certainly do not think that all the facts were presented to Council member Coffey, who took herself off the Oat Hill Committee- I have heard a buzz about staff reports to council members like written memorandums and project reports written in ways to pursued the council one way or another. B...

Paul Maguire

Well that is a shortside view. It matters about the reputation they have, and it matters that they are in our city as an active club, so it is hopeful they will doing actions and present themselves in a professional manner.

Paul Maguire

The issue of donating money and actually DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT was RESPONSIBLE.

Your claim that is was not responsible, IS IRRESPONSIBLE!

10K is petty cash my friend- Giving to a worth cause once in a while is good for the community.

Lighten up.

Paul Maguire

Thank you for your response Councilmember Coffey. You are just got in the cross hair of what is a bigger issue. Is it in the best interest of the city and is it even democratic, to have a city manager's overly broad interpretation(in my opinion) keep council members from exercises thier duties as el...

Paul Maguire

In my view last nights city council meeting, the positions taken, and the vote spoke volumes of the type of people in that room. There are some sick minds amongst us. Then there are some council members on the wrong side of that vote. Thank you Councilmembers Anderson, Luporini, and Coffey. Well done.

Paul Maguire

Well Council member Coffey, since you brought it up- lets talk about this "apparent conflict" a bit more. You were elected by the residents of this city, in an election you won against 9 other candidates, me included. Now here comes one of the largest, complex, and probably the most import...

Paul Maguire

Well, interesting thread. Just note that some of the most successful and wealthiest people, cities, counties and nations are also, some of the most giving. The good ol USA being on the top of that list. SO, ponder this one: Do we give because we are successful and wealthy? Or Are we successful and w...

Paul Maguire

Well, contrary to popular opinion, I think the low income housing project approved by the council over in Vintage Ranch will be well managed. The company seemed to have their act together and are owner builders. I am not certain of the prudence of putting a large low income housing project next to m...

Paul Maguire

The key man there in my opinion is Larry- he has worked for this city for over 15 years I think it is- and does a great job. We have a great team in Public Works and a good director- Larry has shown a long history of loyalty to the city and hard work. I like both. I remember during the Walmart meeti...

Paul Maguire

Just to chime in here- It will prove to be difficult to rent those apartments and my prediction is that unless they take in a number of rent assisted tenants, they will likely be lowering rents a few times to fill them up. The new apartments in Fairfield lowered their rents 3 times then went to a 99...

Paul Maguire

It is distressing to me that there is all this concern about law and order against looters while people are dying in the street from dehydration, lack of food, lack of medicines to stay alive(diabetics) and other issues like clean clothing and shelter. These law and order types are on TV talking abo...

Paul Maguire

The best way to help is to send money per the red cross web site- it is the fastest way to get bulk supplies that are known to be safe to eat, clearn to sleep on, or sanitary to use

Paul Maguire

Lake Berryessa is a large recreational facility about 30 minutes away- and there are two airports- Oakland, which is about 45 minutes to 1 hour driving, depending on traffic, and Sacramento (SMF), which is about an hour and very easy to fly in and out off.

Paul Maguire

I moved to American Canyon from Alamo, in Contra Costa County. The location in AC is unbeatable, as you have access up highway 80 to Vacaville and Sacramento, on into Reno and Lake Tahoe. Highway 37 just down the road gives you access to Marin, and 101- which can take you into Sausalito ( a great pl...

Paul Maguire

No, I am not being ludicrious, but speaking from extensive experience with property management and with people, who are all very different, and who all act very different. Your assumption is that people will act reasonably, as you or I may, and that assumption is not supported by my experience in ma...

Paul Maguire

any of you- The city council, in their great wisdom, apparently has determined that it is a good policy for the city to publicly disclose the names of complaintants for city code violations, to the violator. I have argued this is bad public policy, and a safety concern, as this may lead to retaliati...

Paul Maguire

Final thought: I complain to the city about a code violation. The problem is not resolved. I complain again 30 days later. The violator gets my name, comes to my home, and starts shooting. I sue the city. I win. The city is found negligent, and pays MILLIONS! It concerns me that we have people on th...

Paul Maguire

So the solution is to make every complaint filers name known? Thats how you keep people from "driving around and reporting every violation" in retaliation to getting a complaint against them? That is ridiculous. Should such an event occur, the city knows who made the complaint, can see the...

Paul Maguire

I have addressed this before- much like a car alarm going off, music which is blasting outside, and other noise nuisances are not ok, and should be handled. Dogs are no exception. You bring up great points. Nothing ruins a lovely quiet nieghborhood than a dog barking all hours of the day and night. ...

Paul Maguire

There is much work to be done in the area of code enforcement/compliance in American Canyon. THe meeting was a productive first step. The issue is now on the radar screen. Now, lets see if there is follow up. With regard to business licenses, it is incredible to me that a business would operate with...

Paul Maguire

I got ill the other day after a meal at a local place here in town. Ended up in the ER with food poisoning. Anyone had any problems with any of the places here? Where? Thanks.
