Oh, NOOOOOOO.....He didn't use her business to kiss up, did he? LMAO!
The funny part here is that there are a lot of city owned properties (and even some that the city doesn't own and Morris never asked permission from the owners) that Morris is tossing up advertisements for himself. Is he allowed to do that? He's putting lawn signs on vacant properties of home owners who hate him! LOL! Can't they have him charged with littering or something?

Dear Mr. Pine, Editor, San Bernardino Sun:
It has been brought to my attention by the City Clerk's Office that Jason Desjardins has not, as of this a.m., filed any of the required forms regarding his campaign organization (Form 410) or the required filing, declaring donations and expenditures (Form 460), nor a Form 470, declaring he is not going to spend more than $1000. These filings are required by the Political Reform Act of 1974. My understanding is that the City Clerk has written Mr. Desjardins a letter requesting him to come into compliance. He has yet to respond to the Clerk's letter.
Mr. Desjardins has made a statements that he was all for "transparency" in government, although he has not filed any of these forms. Jason also says he is for eliminating blight and graffiti even though his business, Big Z towing, has numerous code violations which has been brought to your attention before. If you dont believe me, go look for yourself. It just seems very odd to me that Mr. Edwards has not followed-up on these matters. It seems to me that your newspaper owes it to the voters of the 2nd Ward and the citizens of San Bernardino, to put Mr. Desjardins on record regarding these obvious violations of State and City laws. No one, not Jason or any other candidate, should get a free pass.
