Does anyone wonder if this motion would have been made if Kern had been elected mayor (perish the thought)? Dear Reader, this motion was made AFTER the election because if Kern had won, it would not have been made.

This is a clear example of “sour grapes.” The sore loser Kern and his buddies Felien and Feller (FFK) are just trying to extract their pound of flesh from the winner, Jim Wood. Kern is willing to do a lot of wildly unpopular things, but even he doesn’t have the cojones to make this motion, instead hiding behind the skirt of Gary Felien.

Felien and Kern will pay for this in two years, if not sooner. We’ll have to wait another four years to make Feller pay.

Walshaw Fri, 30 Nov 2012 06:08:28 +0000 http://thecoastnews.com/?p=55951#comment-50813 Since when in a democracy is it OK for the losing side of an election to simply strip the winning candidate of his or her powers of office?! This is just another example of an abuse of power by Messrs. Kern, Feller and Felien. The Courts will end up having to decide the matter at more expense to Oceanside taxpayers caused by this Council Majority just as they do every time they don’t get their way. (When 15,484 voters signed a referendum to stop Prop. E, this same Council Majority should have listened to voters, but chose instead to spend over $200,000 on a special election and STILL lost 2-1.)
