Why is the removal of Planning Commissioner Russell Johnson on tonight's agenda of the Bakersfield City Council?
Has he committed a crime?
The only thing he has done is support the Hillside Ordinance in September 2006, and some special-interest groups do not like that.
Russell Johnson has a non-partisan approach to the planned development of Bakersfield. He put the public's best interests before the profits of out-of-town developers.
The Bakersfield firefighters support Russell Johnson and his common-sense approach to development with public safety in mind.
Please call your Bakersfield City Council member at 326-3767 or e-mail city_council@bakersfieldcity.us in support of Russell Johnson.

Give Weir the boot
I have been following with much interest the story unfolding around City Councilman Ken Weir and his machinations to unseat Planning Commissioner Russell Johnson. Has Johnson committed an illegal act? Has he violated his oath? Has he voted unwisely or unfavorably? Has he engaged in conflict of interest? Has he not served the public well? Has he been self-serving? I think not!
It appears that Weir has a personal agenda. And that agenda is to further the development concerns of his clients without any regard for protocol, propriety and professionalism. He continues to show bias in all of his dealings with land issues involving his beloved General Holding. He has clearly a conflict of interest that should not be tolerated.
It will be a crying shame if the city lets Weir get away with this Tomfoolery! Weir should get a taste of his own poison. Remove him from the City Council.
