Re: Potential Legal Action Relating to CUSD Recall
Petitions
Dear Mr. Rosen:
We understand that Becky Bauer, Kim Lefner and Kevin
Murphy (collectively, your Clients) have approached
you for the purpose of seeking a writ of mandate
relating to mistakes made by the Orange County
Registrar of Voters in refusing to certify the recall
petitions against all seven members of the CUSD Board
of Trustees. The purpose of this letter is to confirm
that the CUSD Recall Committee does not support the
proposed legal action. We would also like to make you
aware of certain critical facts relating to the CUSD
Recall campaign and the actions that have and are
being taken by the CUSD Recall
Committee.

Indictments of former superintendent, assistant,

Editorial, The Orange County
Register
The indictment last week of two former top officials at Capistrano Unified capped a long and bitter battle at that south county school district over efforts to reform leadership that had grown arrogant and out of touch with the public. An indictment is a far cry from a conviction, but the county grand jury’s decision is indeed vindication for the hearty band of parents who attempted to recall the school board and offers encouragement for grass-roots activists who want to keep their government accountable.

Trouble at the O.C. Registrar?

Registrar

I'm glad that the proponents of a recall of the Capistrano Unified School District board have filed a lawsuit against the Orange County Registrar of Voters. Parents claim that the registrar unfairly rejected their petitions, and the registrar argues that he was only following state law. The only way to resolve this is in court. I am sympathetic to the recallers and read their report alleging improprieties in the registrar's office. I can't know which side is right, given that I have not analyzed the signatures. But I do know that this needs to be looked at by an impartial party, and that if the CUSD recallers' allegations are correct, that there could be major problems in the registrar's office.
