My friend Steve Vaus
Politics can be rough; a contact sport. I’ve been trashed and lied about a few times but tonight I don’t want to talk about me, but about my friend Mayor Steve Vaus of Poway. Steve’s in a tough race for Supervisor with another friend of mine. In the beginning of this race I made a hard choice to endorse Mayor …
Mayor Wells wants El Cajon cops to stand down on COVID enforcement
On Friday I am calling a special council meeting to discuss instructing our police to not enforce Covid-19 laws and or regulations. The people of El Cajon are suffering and it is highly unfair and nonsensical that big box stores, grocery stores, club stores and now even schools are open while nail salons, restaurants, churches, other businesses and organizations are …

by Bill Wells, Mayor of the City of El Cajon As the Mayor of El Cajon and a former candidate for Congress in the 50th Congressional district I am passionate about who will replace Duncan Hunter and represent all of us in Washington.

Mayor Bill Wells: DeMaio protests the Issa press conference
Yesterday, Darrell Issa made his announcement he is running for Congress in the 50th District. The press conference was civil and not at all controversial. That is, except for the tantrum that Carl DeMaio was having a couple of hundred feet away. Armed with lawn signs and the clever chant of “CARL, CARL, CARL,” they protested the former Congressman’s press …

Why Raising the Smoking Age is Against Conservative Principles
I rarely find myself at odds with my colleagues on the El Cajon City Council, but this week I was. The issue was on writing a letter of support for SB 151, a bill which would raise the legal age to smoke from 18 to 21. All of the members of my council are conservative in their ideology, but I …

Red LIght Cameras Gone in El Cajon
I wanted to follow up on my previous article about the controversy over the red light cameras. It was my contention that these cameras were hated by the public and that they constituted a real threat to civil liberties. I argued that the cost of these infractions were overly punitive (approximately $500 per infraction), and that they represented a line …
Red Light Camera Controversy in El Cajon
Yesterday I asked the El Cajon City Council to allow me to explore the possibility of removing the Red Light Cameras from El Cajon. We currently have seven intersections with these cameras. I was surprised to see that it has become a controversial issue between me and my colleagues. I would very much like for you to read the U-T …
El Cajon City Council Imposes Harsh Penalty for Synthetic Drug Sales
“Spice” and “Bath Salts” are names for synthetic drugs that can cause severe psychosis, brain damage and death. This was the drug at the heart of the “Miami Cannibal” case, which left one man dead and the other with most of his face “eaten off”. This week the El Cajon City Council imposed a $2500 fine for selling these substances …

East County Performing Arts Center: The Reality
I’ve had a lot of calls about the UT article regarding the “razing” of the ECPAC. I want to weigh in and say that to my mind, there is long ways to go before this was to happen. The current proposal is to build a hotel on the site, which would include a new performing arts center. I have to …
El Cajon places Charter question on June ballot
Last night the El Cajon City Council voted to place a Charter City proposal on the June 5, 2012, ballot.
