The Oxnard Political Landscape is going through a strange transition as of recent.

Most noted is Councilman John Zaragoza's run for the County Supervisor's chair and the crazy follow-up by Mayor Lopez for the same County seat. 
................This double-edged drive by two similarly minded and usually agreeing politicians  creates an invisible vacuum on the Oxnard City Council ---- Zaragoza wants to do more for Oxnard as a County Supervisor and Mayor Lopez has just told the voters that he's tired of being the Mayor of Oxnard.

<< And with two mice away, will the other cats want to play >>

....JONES ADDRESSES LIONS ----

....Martin Jones was guest speaker at the noontime Lions' club meeting in
....Oxnard on August 15. 

....With a touch of irony Mr. Jones spoke to the ongoing scandal at the
....nearby River Ridge Golf Course.  ....The Lions' meeting was
....held at the Marriott Residence Inn immediately to the East of the golf
....course.  In addition to the golf course issue Mr. Jones also spoke
....briefly about his civil action suing the city of Oxnard over the lack of
....public notice about the International Market which is a part of the
....theatre project.  Mr. Jones produced the Disposition and Development
....Agreement between the City of Oxnard and the developer Strand Cinema.

....<< The DDA ( Disposition and Development Agreement) is a contract with all
....of the provisions of a legal document. >>

....Mr. Jones stated that if anyone likes the misuse of public funds at the
....golf course they would love the contract between the City and Strand Cinema.
....In addition to the contract Mr. Jones produced a copy of the Grand Jury
....Report detailing the lack of oversight and auditing by the city with
....River Ridge golf course and a copy of his civil action.

Editor's Note:  not one penny of revenue has ever been collected by the city
from the golf course --- the annual check from the operator - which is presented
to the City is a partial return of the One Million $$$ the City of Oxnard cedes
to the Course Operators -- what the Operators give back to the City is just a
slice of what the City gives them - i.e. - a shell game ---
