The Vippermans are using their position and money to subvert open government and free speech.
His fellow councilmembers are unable or unwilling, to stop him.
So, a higher enforcement agency is needed to maintain the rule of law in the City.

The letter mentioned to the city was actually to the ex-fire chief, Nielsen. When Karen was working with other East side residents to try to get the church location reactivated as a fire station, Nielsen sent out an e-mail to the city manager at that time, telling a lie about the action that Karen had taken and implicated Howard. Howard wasn't involved in the conversation Karen had with the church. Karen had an attorney send a cease and desist letter to the chief. It was an action to help get the East side station re-opened. In fact, there have been many incidents in her life that she could have sued and many people would have and she didn't. One example: A neighbor's dog mauled her 18 mos. old son and Karen took no action. That mauling left her son scarred for life. Car accident that was someone elses fault. No suit. So, as usual, the few participants on this site lie and exaggerate truths. The Vipperman's have never sued anyone in this city for anything.
Howard and Karen's businesses are doing fine. So the lie about business going bankrupt. Just another lie to spread rumors.
The issues about the radios. The business of those involved in the suit. The facts will surface as the suit progresses.
George and Blagden write really nasty things about many people and organizations in this community. To paint them as innocent victims who get picked on is a little silly and not very believable. Many people in this community are afraid of them because they know they could get horrible things written about them on this website.
Are the Vipperman's terribly upset by this stuff. No. I know them quite well and they just consider the source. They are actually very busy in their lives with their own business and families.
Karen stated to me about this. Life is good. Our children are healthy. Our grandchildren are beautiful and healthy. Our businesses are picking up. The few people that want to hurt us are people who just seem to enjoy this sort of thing. We aren't perfect, but we do sincerely want to serve our community and will continue to do so.
I'm sure this entry will elicit some very spirited, nasty response. That's fine. I don't read it anyway, nor does any of the respectable people of the community that we know. No one I know wants to fight, just this few.

The Vipperman’s not only SAY “really nasty things,” they DO really nasty things.
Do you reaequate writing (on an obscure internet website)“really nasty things” about someone with filing a false and malicious election law complaint against one opponent, filing a false and malicious lawsuit against another opponent, and having your attorney write a threatening letter to a third?
Are you serious?
The issues in a dispute between two people are usually nobody‘s business. When one of them files a lawsuit, the “issues“ became everyone’s business.
Do you really believe that when a mayor sues a resident of his city, other residents shouldn’t be concerned about the issues involved?
When it turns out that a mayor is using lawsuits and the threat of lawsuits to silence his political opposition, ALL Americans should be concerned.

If a guy on my block bought a fire truck, and used it to help the neighbors, he should be a hero.
Instead in this little burg the city, the fire department, the cops are all jealous because a guy want to contribute. They all need to buck up and start doing some real work.

What kind of an idiot would buy a fire truck? If he wants to help so much he should donate it to the city instead of letting them borrow it. I don't get it. What purpose would someone want to buy a firetruck? I realize it is a rural area but he certainly doesn't need his own fire truck. He just wants a pat on the back.

Come on. I am hardly a fan of the VIPs, but I am sure that if they knew the guy was a pervert, they would not have supported him.
Sometimes, you only find out what sort of person a candidate is, after it is too late. This should be something that is painfully clear to the people of La Habra Heights -- especially to those who voted for the VIPs three years ago.

Another resident you are so correct. However this in-fighting is so distructful, There alot of good people who live in the heights. I find it disgraceful that these few bring such a blight to a great community. Problem is they only want whats best for them and hide behind a political shrowed saying they want what is best for all. No matter how you look at it each group will come in to power and just as quickly go away. It was once writen those who do not look to the past are bound to repeat it. The heights prides it self on a strong community base but it is not looked upon by other communities as anything more than a joke. The Good folks just want to live and enjoy family and friends I GUESS THERE COLATERAL DAMAGE IN THIS BATTLE. QUESTION FOR YOU. WHO WOULD YOU LIKE FOR MAYOR? BESIDE GEORGE.
