This story was e-mailed to me today from a blog called the "Flash Report" interesting Blog...doesn' really grab me however...but here is yet another Rudat Story........
Residency - the act of dwelling in a place.
The laws governing residency are actually fairly liberal. But you kinda sorta have to live in a city to run for city council. Saying you live at your son's house in Orange and really shaking up with your husband in Newport Beach doesn't cut it.
This is the case of a local candidate for Orange City Council. She is Carol Rudat, wife of the former city manager who was (fired, let go, left on his own terms) feel free to call it what ever you want, but he ain't running the city anymore.
Carol, the wife and real estate professional that profited from the sale of land involving a trash company that was bidding on a city contract at the time while her husband was city manager and her husband was eventually fined by the FPPC for the incident was not available to comment about where she lives when are reporter called so her San Diego spokesperson chimed in to say how rude it was to question where she lived.
Interesting is that the Rudat spokesperson said she moved into the home owned by her some in Orange in July. The thing is she re-registered at the residence in April. Hmm.
OCBlog and the OC Register's Total Buzz blog have been buzzing about this subject for a couple days.
The lesson in all this, if you live in Newport Beach don't run for city council in Orange.
There is so much more to this that I will need at least another post or two, look soon for the documents about the criminal prosecution of Rudat's husband over the deal. And he is now one of our Dep. County CEOs. I think he is collecting a pension from Orange and his salary at the county.
If I was so lucky to get away with all that, I would probably tell my wife to open a crafts store instead of running for office in a city we didn't live in.

Interesting take on the story. I had no idea Dave Rudat was fined by the FPPC...interesting....and Mrs. Rudat, was tied into a scandal with the former trash company. Didn't the trash guy just get nabbed for millions in fines that he stole from the City of ORange under.....Dave Rudat...husband of candidate Carol Rudat. WOW, this is getting good......
Stay tuned for more....I am sure there's more to come......
Just a side note, how the hell did Dave Rudat keep his job as City Manager as long as he did?
