Tonight at 7:00 there will be a candleight vigil held at the East entrance. All are welcome .
The carpetbagger was from Fountain Valley and Huy Pham was from Fountain Valley. Did they know each other?
Am I wrong to dislike the fact that employees are now being refereed to as "the Costa Mesa Family"? I have never disliked Hatch, but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth after the way we have been treated during the past few months.
Mensinger calls us "Parasites", Righeimer refers to us a "trough feeders". Monahan was too busy pounding green beer in a leprechaun outfit to worry about a "family member" who committed suicide and Hatch made no objection when over 200 pink slips were issued before the city had the information needed to make an educated decision.
If this is my family, I'm beginning to feel like a abused child. I do feel I have family at Costa Mesa, but they are not part of it!
It's tragic for the lost of one's life. This is a wake up call for the city over the decision made on its employee. Pink slip is a death sentence to some. A life without a job is equally death to Mr. Huy Pham in this case. My prayers to his family during this difficult time.
