Janet Nguyen gets revoked by the Westminster City Council

Supervisor Janet Nguyen’s Black Friday permit got revoked, essentially, tonight, by the Westminster City Council, by a 3-1 vote.  In the end they relented and allowed her to keep the permit from 9 am to either 2 or 4 pm (there is some debate about that).  The community of Little Saigon will get to hold their event from 5 to 9 pm, which is when this event is usually held.

Why did Nguyen go to such lengths to screw her own people out of their event – a sacred function that allows the community to grieve over the loss of Vietnam?  Folks in Little Saigon were outraged by the Jannie takeover – you can read their comments over at the Bolsavik blog.

My sources tell me that Janet was bragging for months about how she was going to use this event to promote her team of candidates and electeds.  Now that dream has been shattered and folks are so upset that they are talking about recalling her!

I have even heard rumors that Janet was trying to “sell” candidates the right to appear on the stage with her at the Black Friday event.  I wonder how much she was going to charge Meg Whitman?

Today might well mark the beginning of the end for Janet and her Jannies, which include her Chief of Staff, Andrew Do, who was elected as a carpetbagger to the Garden Grove City Council in 2009; her husband, Tom Bonikowski, who Janet got appointed to the Garden Grove Planning Commission; and most of the lame bloggers at the Liberal OC, particularly Chris Prevatt and Claudio Gallegos.
