Vivian Moreno gives her take on this week’s issues: the interview of Planning Commissioner Sean Mill by the John and Ken show of KFI radio 640AM, racism, the Plascencia vs. Mill Feud and certain Budget Engagement Commission members (our girl Gaby again!) being called out on their pathetic attendance record by Councilman Chuck Condor and their ensuing response.
On Friday January 24, 2020, KFI AM640, the John and Ken Show interviews City of Riverside Planning Commissioner Sean Mills, regarding the attempted coerced removal by former campaign rival, Gabriela Plascencia, who is now on the Riverside City Council representing Ward 5.
TMC remembers that at the October 1, 2019, City Council Meeting, Councilman Chuck Condor called out four Commissioners of the Budget Engagement Commission for attendance problems. Condor called it ‘pathetic.’ By not living up to their promise to attend these meetings, these individual were responsible for the City’s perilous financial issues not being addressed in a timely and efficient manner. Subsequently on October 10, 2019, two of these volunteers (now duly-elected to City Council, Ronaldo Fierro and Gabriela Plascencia) responded to Conder, deriving his caustic remarks to be the outcome of purely petty politics. Below, you will find the actual attendance document from January to August 2019, prepared by the City Clerk, that Conder was referencing.

We advise our viewing audience again that at the time of the below video in October of 2019, both Plascencia and Fierro were not yet on the City Council, but volunteers on the Budget Engagement Commission. In an astonishing twist of fate/karma/foreshadowing/irony, toward the end of the video, Plascencia makes a haunting statement that may come to back to bite her: , “I am committed when elected to never ‘shame’ our volunteers!” Well, Plascencia has now been elected to City Council, and within six weeks she is shaming one of the City’s volunteers publicly! That person, of course, is volunteer Planning Commissioner Sean Mill. But it went further than ‘shaming;’ it went all the way to ‘slander’ and worse, ‘discrimination’.
She called him a ‘bully’ from the dais, then publicly made verifiably untrue statements regarding his place of residence while on the Planning Commission with the City of Santa Ana. According to the Orange County Register, “Mr. Mill has confirmed to the city of Santa Ana that he has maintained his residency in Santa Ana while serving as a planning commissioner,” city spokeswoman Alma Flores said. “There is no action pending.” The question now is, “Will Commissioner Mill initiate a defamation suit against Councilwoman Plascencia and the City for slander and discrimination similar to what happened after the Soubirous/Davis St. Valentine’s Day Blunder?”
Chuck also refers to a close friend that missed quite a few meetings, but didn’t mention him by name. TMC reveals that person to be none other than Joe Tavaglione, current California Transportation Commissioner, uncle of former Riverside County Scalliwag Supervisor, John Tavaglione, and local big kahuna – Joe missed 83% of all meetings for that year!
Well it gets better: according to witnesses, another member of the Budget Engagement Commission, Rose Mayes, who missed ONLY 33% of the meetings, approached Councilman Condor after the Budget Engagement meeting with a word about the hat and robe he carries in trunk of his vehicle. Maybe we can persuade Chuck to let us in on the specifics of what Rose accused him of? Thirty Miles heard of tidbits towards the general gist of the conversation, but it was too nasty for even us to print without first party acknowledgement! Oh well…I guess we can it’s just another normal week in ole’ River City.
“There’s something distasteful about bitchy and vindictive, like Plascencia; There’s something fun about bitchy and funny, that’s me.” – Vivian

TMC: Thirty Miles of Corruption 
I’m white and Gaby Plascencia appointed me to a city board. I’m confused about who is playing the race card here and why. Certainly John and Ken would grab onto a thread like that for all it’s worth, they are in the business of trying to entertain a huge audience with only politics to rant about. I don’t envy them, and they do a damn good job finding ways to try and engage public interest. Like hollering about racism. I think it’s a great distraction; and maybe even incredibly clever to accuse the first Latina to ever sit on the city council of the City of Riverside of being a racist – but it’s also quite ridiculous. I think even the despicable, shocking , or whatever other myriad of unpleasant things you call yourself ( – hysterical btw- thank you for that!) reporter of all things Riverside can acknowledge the absurdity of attacking councilwoman Plascencia on the basis of her being a racist.
Absurd.
