The lunatic fringe, all six of them, comes marching in. The Moreno Valley 'Society of Racial Hate' also known as the Mexican Political Association, all six members, have returned puffed up by the questionable win of Victoria Baca for Moreno Valley City Council.
If you remember, Victoria Baca was arrested and convicted, while a seated school board member, with interfering with a police officer's efforts to stop a vehicle that tried to run from a sobriety check point. A poorly thought out publicity stunt for the news cameras of Telemundo spanish language news television. Telemundo didn't run anything on the check points though Baca's ranting against them were said to have brought the organization out that night.
Three years later she's back to haunt the Moreno Valley USD School Board - well sort of.
Victoria's brother Eric Christopher Baca, the new point person for the MPA, wants the seat vacated by Mike Rios. Like Rios, Baca claims to represent "the people."
On february 8, 2013 Rios was convicted in Riverside Superior Court on charges of pimping, pandering and insurance fraud. Rios recently gave up his School Board seat. The Baca's and the MPA regulars vocally supported Rios' innocence during his trial.
There are two ways Rios' seat can be filled. One by appointment, usually a consensus of MVUSD Superintendent, the remaining board trustees and the management of the teacher's union. Two, by the school district paying the Riverside County Registrar of Voters to hold a special election for the vacated office.
The problem is $200,000.00 dollars. To hold a special election, the MVUSD has to pay for it. About $200,000.00 after all is said and done, according to District and County estimates. Not the $80,000.00 as claimed by Christopher Baca. That money would have to come from a nearly bankrupt School District. More over, from funds meant for students and teachers.
This month the district is negotiating with the teachers union to avoid heavy layoffs for next year to stem the red ink. This year, existing teachers had seven paid work days taken away from their annual salaries.
The last school board seat to be filled after an elected Board Member vacated was when Jesus Holguin was appointed in 2003. Holguin has been re-elected every term since.
Clearly, the Moreno Valley School District can't afford to pay for the election in-spite of the MPA's member's claims that they are the voice of the people and the people want the special election.
The reality is the Baca's want to spread their influence base. It is this writers opinion that Moreno Valley Elections can easily be rigged. Victoria seems to have mastered the simple method. Eric Christopher Baca probably could not get appointed. At Moreno Valley City Council meetings Baca has threatened, intimidated and verbally assaulted opponents of MPA's views.

The prospects for healthcare reform may be chillier than DC weather, but Democrats in the House and Senate are turning their attention to another warmer but still significant national issue: the increasing number of runaway and throwaway youth who are being forced into prostitution. In response to the growing concerns that desperate, runaway teens will be forced into prostitution in a sluggish economy, Congress is pushing several bills to improve how runaway kids are tracked by the police, fund crucial social services, and prevent teens from being caught in sex trafficking. Here's the gist of what the new legislation is trying to accomplish:
