Carp city councilman crashes car again..
DUI suspected....

Embattled Carpinteria councilman Joe Armendariz was suspected of DUI after crashing his car at night on southbound Highway 101, just before the Santa Claus Lane exit and south of Padaro Lane...Joe has crashed his vehicle before while driving intoxicated in Montecito and this latest lapse of judgement may land him in jail or cause him to lose his license regardless of how nice a guy he is...his political career on the Carpinteria city council may also be over..

Armendariz has spent much of his time in non-profits funded by dirty old men like Brooks Firestone and other ultra conservatives...Brooks makes a fine brew I've heard...Joe has often joined News-Press wanker pot house enabler and foreclosure expert Lanny Ebenstein in trying to demonize public workers because of the salaries they make....gee, Joe you should have gotten a real government job like being a fireman and added some structure to your life and an appreciation for the working class, then you wouldn't keep breaking the law and endangering your fellow Carpinterians with your recklessness...

After Joe's first DUI conviction, he quickly joined the board of directors at nonprofit Zona Seca, the alcohol treatment facility...looks like they promoted him without treating him!! I'll be looking into the nonprofit Zona Seca later...

Joe has also serves as Director of the Santa Barbara County Taxpayer Association, a shady non-profit that has been exposed on this blog previously...I mean, nobody listens to them anymore!!

While we wish Councilman Armendariz a speedy recovery and are glad he didn't kill anybody, we must insist the Carp council demand he resign..we can't have a chronic drinker and lawbreaker making city policy...the City of Carpinteria will lose credibility unless they act swiftly and decisively...
