The latest update from the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters shows Judi Penman now trailing Abigail Medina in her bid to be re-elected to the San Bernardino Unified School District, Board of Trustees. She trails Medina by a scant 37 votes!
If she is unseated, it will be an amazing reversal for the Penman clan where both she and her husband, James “Red Cheeks” Penman, have held elected office for longer than many residents have been alive.
Undoubtedly, the city will miss their leadership and track record of success punctuated by bankruptcy and impressive 40% graduation rates.
The 40% graduating rate is NOT Judi Penman’s fault!
Please give her a break, she had to survive – and maintain her sanity- in the midst of the down right stupidity of Teresa Parra, Elsa Valdez and Mel Albiso…you know, Joe Baca’s posse!
In fact, I give Penman credit for maintaining her civility in their presence… you probably would not be able to hold me back the second any of them opened their mouth!!
HOW ABSURDLY STUPID WERE PARRA, VALDEZ AND ALBISO?
FOR STARTERS, *EDUCATION* WAS NOT A PRIORITY IN THEIR BOOK…

Albiso Era In Local Education Circles Draws To An End
Those allies, Dr. Elsa Valdez and Teresa Parra, were widely perceived as
responsible, along with former San Bernardino City Unified Superintendent Arturo Delgado, for Albiso’s advancement to the associate superintendent’s post,
>>>>>>>> despite his lack of educational credentials.
Judi Penman viewed the school board as a social club meeting. The same can be said for the laughable San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce.
Would you care to highlight any of the wonderful and courageous stands she took or votes she made while on the board?
I did not know this:
Penman has been a member of the San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce for 27 years and now serves as its president and chief operating officer.
I did not know this.
This completely explains why every single chance she gets (verifiable) she votes to lay off teachers and at the same time make purchases. (Junk the school does not need)
She’s directing school money towards her cronies in the chamber of commerce at the cost of teachers which in turn costs the students.
She is rancid.
But there still are as many as 687 ballots county-wide yet to be counted between now and the certification expected Wednesday…..
I have this hunch that Penman and Penman are discussing what options thee are and how to implement them to “correct” this outcome.
Rather than just allowing the vote count to continue unfettered.
Fuck, I misspelled ‘there’
From the San Bernardino Sun
“…She said Registrar of Voters Michael Scarpello had given her a courtesy call before the latest results were posted online…”
Is this normal behavior for Michael Scarpello?
1. “Judi Penman viewed the school board as a social club meeting.”
Judi VIEWED the school board for the ugly, warped and self serving [not student serving] stench that it was… had Judi not put on a smile to engage those animals on the board in a civil way, she would have ended up in an insane asylum!
Had Judi not keep that seat all these years, another Valdez, Parra, Danny Tillman, or even a Baca would have had it!
2. “the laughable San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce.”
As for the Chamber of Commerce, what fault does Judi carry if the product she is given to sell- the City of San Bernardino County- is broken, defective and no one cared to fix it?
I say “cared” because it seems now that has changed.
And do not ignore Judi’s sincere delight in supporting many of the community’s diverse groups by engaging and by attending their fundraisers.
3. “courageous stands she took or votes she made while on the board?”
AH! YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS ASKING THAT!!
>> Valdez & friends would have eaten Judi alive WITHOUT MERCY!!
I left this sore thorn on my side (brain) for others with the willingness and ability to expose them and bring them down,
because EVEN I didn’t dare GAMBLE and get near that pathetically VICIOUS, MENTALLY WARPED AND STUPIDLY MIND NUMBING force:
The Gambler
– Kenny Rogers
If you’re gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right
You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em
Know when to fold ‘em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
JUDI HAD NO CHANCE AGAINST THEM … HEY LISTEN, TILLMAN BEING A SO CALLED *MAN* DIDN’T HIMSELF HAVE THE “COURAGE TO STAND UP” AGAINST THE PARRA, ALBISO, VALDEZ STENCH!
AND speaking of Danny Tillman, Tillman was the most *guilty* because he WENT ALONG AND PLAYED ALONG … causing further damage as he selfishly gained personal political status and connections- to the detriment of the students he represented.

That was a fantastic endorsement. I love voting for impotent people who summon up the courage to smile and do nothing while holding elected positions.
WILLIAM CUTTING:
1. “That was a fantastic endorsement.”
Thank you, but that was not an endorsement, it was an honest assessment and understanding of the wild raw meat eating piranhas Judi had to work with.
2 “I love voting for impotent people who summon up the courage to smile and do nothing while holding elected positions.”
DO NOTHING WHILE HOLDING OFFICE?!
But she did, AGAIN, despite being surrounded by stupidity and distorted mental cases on the board, Judi kept her CIVILITY, SMILED and – she gets extra brownie points for this- SHE DIDN’T BECOME ONE OF THEM!!!
And yes, it takes a special breed to “summon up the courage to smile” and be civil- as stated before, I COULD NOT, WOULD NOT do that with the likes of Valdez, Parra, Tillman etc…
Pee on Judi. She never blew the whistle on anything, she doesn’t get any kudos. Either does here hubby and all his tuff talk. Pee on both of them. Bags of wind, both self serving actors at the end of the day. You don’t work among crooks for over two decades and get to create some cool legacy when you leave.
Judi drove many businesses out of the City of SB. The Chamber is a joke.. other than a ribbon cutting, what good is it? There’s literally no value in that Chamber whatsoever. Any progress that Chamber Board members attempted were quashed immediately by Judi. She’s a control freak like her husband and needs to go.
11. Anon:
But according to #7 anonymous and his exchange with William at least she smiles when she is cutting ribbons. Do you know how dangerous the ribbons are? Frayed ends can slice your fingers to shreds. They are almost as dangerous as Parra and Valdez.
Judi don’t let the door hit you on the way out! Like they say in SNL Buh BYE!
