News Release from the office of Paul Angulo, Riverside County auditor and controller.
"As Riverside County Auditor-Controller, I am committed to responsible leadership and attacking waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer resources.
"In public leadership, it is essential to lead with the utmost of integrity. Additionally, one must have the courage of conviction to do what is right for the community," Angulo wrote.
"Specifically, Mr. Jacobs’ strong defense of Temecula's wine country, community health and senior citizens demonstrates his adherence to these essential values. I am, therefore, delighted to endorse Paul Jacobs’ candidacy for Temecula City Council. "
Jacobs told Patch in an email that he was pleased with the endorsement.
"I am profoundly honored to receive the endorsement of Paul Angulo," Jacobs wrote.
"I see the office of the county Auditor-Controller as being apolitical and one of integrity.
"As a citizen running for City Council for the first time without the political connections incumbents enjoy, it is remarkable that I get such an endorsement," he wrote.
Jacobs is running for one of two City Council seats that will be open because the terms of two incumbents -- Mike Naggar and Chuck Washington -- are set to expire this year.
Jacobs has been a vocal opponent of the proposed which was denied by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors but may still rear its modified head with a fast-tracking amendment pushed through by the board.
The city has asked the courts to step into the fray and declare the amendment void.
Sorry, not interested in putting more Islam in our public offices until these guys stop killing innocent people over Korans and pictures of their holy one Muhammad. Its not Islam that scares me. Its the out of control men who follow it.
Paul Jacobs gets my vote. The guy is passionate, reasonable and most importantly, not looking for a career.
They used to say you can't be all things to all people, but y'all have just proven that wrong. Hey Paul, did you realize you are 1)"a talking idiot libtard", 2)a "liberal" (I seem to recall Jesus being a liberal but I guess His teachings aren't compatible with the neo-con definition of "liberal"), 3)a Sufi Muslim, 4)a "slobbering Liberal Democrap", 5)a "total liberal" (these five from just the few entries above) and then from other blog entries you are 6)a teabagger, 7) etc. Don't have the time or inclination to look up all the other wonderful tags folks have managed to affix to you. But you are definitely a man of the people as they have made sure you are indeed all things to all people. Oh, did I forget to mention you are also "...passionate, reasonable and most importantly, not looking for a career..."? That you have demonstrated a "strong defense of Temecula's wine country, community health and senior citizens..." and that you "...lead with the utmost of integrity." And that lastly you "have the courage of conviction to do what is right for the community." This is a non-partisan race; Paul Jacobs' party affiliation or lack thereof should be of absolutely NO concern, unless you NEED your party to tell you who to vote for.
