What’s going on in Poway? John shares stories about Poway City Council Term Limits, Tony Blain, and Poway Unified Marian Kim-Phelps’s termination and demand for her job back. Plus, John shares what he’s watching on streaming media.

It’s Wednesday, June 5, 2024. This is what John Riley thinks.

Poway Term Limits

What are your thoughts on term limits? We have them for President, and in many state and local political races. But not here in Poway. Now Tony Blain is circulating a petition to get term limits on the November 2024 ballot. Is this the right approach? Or can “term limits” simply happen by voting against the incumbent?

Terminated Poway Unified Superintendent, Marian Kim-Phelps, Wants her Job Back

Imagine getting fired from your job as the top school official in the 3rd largest school district in San Diego County because you got into a bullying war with the local mean girls? That’ what happened with Kim-Phelps. She said she was fired unjustly, and she has hired an attorney. Why is PUSD always in the news for the wrong reasons?
