O.C. GOP leaders oppose union-backed attempt to recall fiscally responsible CUSD reform trustees

Scott Baugh, The Orange County Register "It is clearly a union-backed effort to remove the new regime that has brought fiscal accountability to the district … The board there today is comprised of seven members who are fiscally responsible and who replaced the old regime that had nothing but fiscal irresponsibility and bad conduct. There's no reason there should be a recall of those members."

Baugh made this statement after the Orange County Republican Party's 73-member Central Committee unanimously passed a resolution opposing a recall effort against two Capistrano Unified trustees and accused "public employee unions and their allies" of "unjustly" targeting trustees Ken Lopez-Maddox and Mike Winsten in the recall attempt, which began last month.

Scott Baugh, The Orange County Register Baugh said the GOP central committee passed the resolution at the request of one of its members, Tony Beall, a Rancho Santa Margarita city councilman whose successful "reform" political movement helped bring the current seven Capistrano trustees to office. "Tony Beall is a trusted member of the central committee and has an impeccable record of honesty and integrity," Baugh said. "If he brings something to us, I would give him the benefit of the doubt."
