After months of pushing, prodding, and protesting. Occupy Redlands finally got the city council to vote on their resolution against money in politics and corporate “personhood”.
I always thought the vote was brought up as a political ploy by Pete Aguilar to try and shore up the base. The vote to me revealed how out of touch he was with true grassroots activists.
Why not bring it up earlier?
Was his shady past catching up with him?
Did he think folks on the Left would just vote for anyone with a “D” next to their name?
All of these are good questions, but beside the point because it was later revealed in a Huffington Post article, that he was sincere about none of it.
