The Pollster Recommended by City Manager Tom Schwab and hired by the City Council has a history of providing politicians with what they want to call a survey, not a well reasoned poll or survey. Attached is a copy of the Survey to be done. You judge how this information will be used once gathered. You should be concerned. Spending $15,000.00 the equivalent of the Funds Earned Selling Fireworks so Tom can say,,, "The Survey Says". The Mayor can say she listens to the "Uninformed, uninvolved, Silent Majority who don't take the time to ferret out all the information answered a survey that was written with the purpose to support the City Manager's design. Call the City and let them know your answers, or better yet write them a letter and send a copy to the Press Enterprise and the Sun Telegram and let them know what the Survey should Say.
Probolsky On Property Rights In Seal Beach
Pollster and media quotemeister Adam Probolsky posted this on FR Blog today about the imminent property rights victory in Seal Beach : [ Seal Beach Councilman Ray Ybaben] is an unlikely hero, just a councilman in the sleepy seaside city of Seal Beach . But today he is the best friend to property rights advocates everywhere.
*
In late 2006 the city of Seal Beach voted to ban third-story additions in one part of town. They did not do so based on health or safety or traffic or parking concerns, just based on aesthetics and because a small but powerful minority wanted them to. Freshman Councilman Ray Ybaben voted with the majority. It was a personal blow because I had been helpful to Ray very early in his campaign and thought he would make good pro-property rights decisions.
*
Interestingly the council passed this anti-home improvement ordinance on the eve of the 2006 General Election. They even went so far as to hold a special weekend council meeting to do the second reading of the ordinance prior to the election. Why? Because they feared that if they waited and Proposition 90 passed, they would be liable for "taking" property rights from residents--pretty sneaky.

Wishing Probolsky some Ethics This Christmas
Posted on December 20th, 2007 by Dan Chmielewski
We jump on Matt Cunningham of Red County here all the time, but ethically speaking, Matt always discloses if he has a business interest in stories he is posting about. Virtually every post on the Disney-SunCl-Anaheim story, Matt disclosed he is/was a consultant for SunCal. Its this sort of disclosure, plus allowing us lefties to comment freely on Red County , and his personal charm that makes Matt worthy of our respect. Of course, politically he’s wrong, but he is worthy of respect.
Pollster Adam Probolsky has a post on Red County praising Congressman Ken Calvert (R-Corona), who represents portions of South County . Calvert had an editorial in today’s OC Register on how he continues to fight for the 241 Extension in spite of the blockade set up by Rep. Loretta Sanchez.
So what’s the problem? Adam is a Republican touting a Republican Congressman. And what Adam didn’t do was disclose he is a paid consultant for the Calvert for Congress campaign; he’s Calvert’s Pollster.
