SANTA FE SPRINGS -

Mayor Betty Putnam shocked the community Tuesday night when she announced her sudden retirement from elected office, and will be leaving the Santa Fe Springs City Council in the first week of December.

Putnam was just reelected to the five-member elected body in November 2009, and she has been a literal "institution" is this mighty influential enclave located in Southeast Los Angeles County.

"This is not a decision I've made lightly. But my family, like many of yours out there, has been seriously challenged by this recession and by some health issues," Putnam told a stunned city council audience tonight.

The retirement takes effect Dec. 9, 2010.

I really admire Betty Putnam. I just saw her a couple weeks ago at a Special Meeting of the Rio Hondo College Board of Trustees (hosted by Trustee Gary Mendez, who represents Santa Fe Springs and Norwalk) inside the Santa Fe Springs City Council Chambers.

Betty looked great and her enthusiasm and energy lit up the room. I know that the Santa Fe Springs City Council will do the right thing and hold a Special Election to replace her, even though she is "irreplaceable!"

Great JOB MADAME MAYOR! KUDOS!

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
