Reform Campaign 4Q06
Casabianca Mailer Fraudulently Claims Bergeson Support
Nov 01, 2006
Former State Senator Endorses Challenger Anna
Bryson
Rancho
Santa Margarita, CA. Scandal-Ridden CUSD
Trustee John Casabianca just sent a deceptive
mailer to voters across South Orange County
suggesting that Former State Senator Marion
Bergeson endorses and supports his re-election
bid. Bergeson does not endorse or support John
Casabianca – and she recently told him so. In
fact, Marion Bergeson has proudly endorsed
candidate Anna Bryson of the “ABC Reform Slate”
for the CUSD Board of Trustees.

CUSD recall mailer
Oct 24, 2006
After the Capistrano Unified School District recall scandal, which drove imperial Superintendent Jim Fleming from his post after it was revealed that the district maintained an enemies' list of parents supporting the board recall, it will be interesting to see how the board elections go on Nov. 7. Here is a mailer from the reform slate.

Republican Central Committee Refuses to Endorse CUSD Trustees
Jul 17, 2006
Irvine, CA. The Republican Central Committee met tonight for the purpose of providing early endorsements to sitting Republican incumbents across Orange County. Generally speaking, all Orange County Republican incumbents in good standing receive the political party’s endorsement in a single, routine, “consent calendar” vote. However, there was nothing routine about tonight’s vote as far as the three CUSD Trustee incumbents were concerned. The Republican Central Committee refused to provide an early endorsement to any of the three CUSD Trustees that must run for re-election in November (John Casabianca, Crystal Kochendorfer and Sheila Henness).

RSM City Councilmember urges voters to replace Fleming-trustees Casabianca, Henness & Kochendorfer in November
Mar 03, 2006
For far too long, the CUSD Trustees have been given a free pass. And just like any other government that has had no accountability at the ballot box, there is generally a migration to corruption in the organization. While the children languish in broken down, ancient and decrepit portable classrooms, and parents have to buy supplies for teachers because there aren't any provided by the district, the Trustees and the administration build themselves a $52,000,000 building for their bureaucracy. What is even more frightening is this building started out at $25,000,000 and has over doubled in cost.
This is the state of the Capistrano Unified School District today. And it is time for a change. Join me in encouraging new leadership to emerge among the ranks of the south county population to bring new faces and new energy, and most importantly, new accountability to this school district. There are three Trustees up for re-election this year. It is anticipated that all three will run again. But they will have competition this time, and I would urge any and all to support those new candidates that emerge, and help win back this school district for those that depend on it the most, for the children.
