On Wednesday, February 11, 2026, a crowd of residents filled City Hall, showing up in person because they were desperate for answers. 🏛️

They came after hearing our mayor publicly declare he would be in FULL cooperation with ICE if federal enforcement comes to our city. That statement alone shook many families. So, people showed up!

Sixteen residents stepped forward and spoke publicly. One after another.
Parents. Neighbors. Taxpayers. Community members. ❤️

They asked simple questions:
Where do you stand?
Will you protect our community?
What does this mean for our families?

They weren’t asking for perfection.
They were asking for clarity. For leadership. For courage.

And what did they get?

Silence.
Speaker after speaker shared real fears and real stories. And after each one, the same response:
“Thank you for your comments… next.”

No positions. No reassurance. No accountability.

Regardless of where anyone stands politically, this moment was bigger than ideology. 🗣️
When residents show up in good faith and ask direct questions, leadership requires more than procedural politeness. It requires answers.

Sixteen voices spoke. Most seats stayed quiet.

Our community showed up.
Now we’re still waiting.

And we deserve better. 📣💔

If you care about this issue, stay engaged. Show up. Ask questions. Stay informed. 📣 Civic participation only works when we continue participating respectfully and consistently.

Our time is now! We are searching for candidates in district 1 and 4. These districts matter! These seats shape the future of our city, from transparency and fiscal responsibility to youth programs, public safety, and the kind of community we want to leave for the next generation. If you’ve ever thought, “Someone should step up,” this may be your moment.

🎄✨ Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, RSM ✨🎄

This season is a reminder of what truly makes Rancho Santa Margarita special—our people.

As we gather with loved ones (or hold space for those who are missing), may this holiday season bring you moments of peace, reflection, and hope. And may it remind us that a strong community is built on compassion, listening, and looking out for one another—especially our kids, seniors, and families.

Thank you for being part of RSM4ALL.
Here’s to kindness, connection, and a brighter year ahead—for all of us. ❤️

🚨 RSM4ALL | City Council Update — This Week at City Hall

This week, the Rancho Santa Margarita City Council approved approximately $850,000 for a “beautification” fence and signage project along Antonio Parkway.

3 out of 5 council members voted YES — including Tony Beall.
Jerry Holloway and Kerry Baert voted NO.

Here’s what we heard — and what deserves a closer look:

🗣️ The Three Arguments We Keep Hearing

1️⃣ “People say they love these projects.”
Anecdotes are not data.
There was no resident survey, no citywide vote, no measurable community input presented. Just some random opinions of people in their social circles, the upper class.

2️⃣ “We need to stay competitive with Ladera Ranch.”
Competitiveness isn’t about fences and signs.
It’s about:

Programs for kids
Support for families
Services that strengthen daily life.

Not cosmetic upgrades with million-dollar price tags.

3️⃣ “This is about safety.”
By the end of the meeting, the City Manager confirmed the fence in question belongs to the County of Orange and will be removed anyway — meaning the safety argument is effectively off the table.

So what’s left?

➡️ A costly vanity project
➡️ At a time when programs residents care about are being cut
➡️ With no clear return on investment

💰 Let’s Talk Priorities

$850,000 could support:

Youth and after-school programs
Childcare affordability
Community services that directly benefit families

Instead, it went to aesthetics.

❓ RSM4ALL Asks:

Who decides what “the community wants”?
Why is public input so limited?
And why are people-centered programs always the first on the chopping block?

RSM deserves transparency, balance, and priorities that put people first — not fences.

📢 Stay informed.
📢 Ask questions.
📢 Show up.

🔥 What in the world is happening in RSM?!
And more importantly… will we see you on Wednesday? 👀

Because some of these decisions—and their timing—deserve a closer look 🔍

Here’s what’s heading to City Hall this week ⬇️

⚖️ About that $37,000 legal bill…
While Tony Beall may feel victorious after an OC Superior Court judge ruled that the city did not have to pay attorney Michelle Jackson—because she refused to reveal her plaintiff—this case is far from over.

Appeals court? ⚖️
California Supreme Court? ⚖️
Those are still very real possibilities.

🛣️ Now let’s talk Antonio Parkway.
On Wednesday, the city is set to approve approximately $850,000 for this phase of the Antonio Parkway project—covering split rail fencing, decorative columns, mulch, and solar lighting.

💸 Here’s the part residents should notice:
For this single phase, the city is budgeting approximately $1.625 MILLION from the General Fund this year.

The estimated cost of the work itself is closer to $1,002,088—so why authorize so much more? 🤔

🏛️ And then there’s the Mayor Pro Tem selection.
This role will be decided on Wednesday—and it’s far from ceremonial.

Mayor Pro Tem means visibility, influence, and political momentum, especially heading into an election year. 📈
Many residents believe the likely pick is Anne Figueroa, an employee of Tony Beall’s wife, Jennifer.

Giving Anne the Mayor Pro Tem title now appears to position her more favorably for re-election—particularly as she faces a strong, highly qualified challenger: Dr. Natalie Guse.

Extra exposure. ✅
Extra credibility. ✅
And timing? ⏰ Very convenient.

Coincidence? 🤷‍♀️ You decide.

But this is exactly why residents should be watching—and showing up. 👀

📅 Wednesday, Dec 10
⏰ 7:00 PM
📍 RSM City Hall, Council Chambers
22112 El Paseo

Bring your questions ❓
Bring your neighbors 👫

Because when residents aren’t in the room, decisions get made very comfortably.

🎉 Feeling Honored… and a Little Famous Today 😉

RSM4All got a shout-out in Voice of OC!

We woke up this morning to see our growing grassroots group featured in an article about community-led transparency in Rancho Santa Margarita and honestly, we’re over here blushing. 😄💛

Apparently when residents start recording City Council meetings because the city refuses to… people notice!

The article highlights exactly what residents have been doing these past few months:
🎥 Taking turns recording every City Council meeting
🎥 Uploading them to a YouTube channel for everyone to watch (https://www.youtube.com/)
🎥 Showing that transparency isn’t partisan — it’s community
🎥 Making sure residents, parents, workers, and people with disabilities can actually SEE what’s happening at City Hall

And the best part?
Voice of OC called it what it is:
👉 Real civic action.
👉 Neighbors stepping up for neighbors.
👉 Residents doing what leadership won’t.

We didn’t expect attention - we just wanted our city to be accessible, accountable, and inclusive. But if our little camcorder rebellion inspires more people to get involved… we’ll take it. 😄💪

And to Voice of OC: Thanks for the spotlight.📸

🏛️ STATE OF THE CITY RSM: Civic Pride, Brought to You by the 1%

📣 Post derived from insights shared by Dr. Natalie Guse.

During the recent State of the City address, Mayor Tony Beall emphasized signs and beautification projects as symbols of “civic pride.”

Unfortunately, that message speaks to the 1% who can afford their version of civic pride — not the families in RSM who are working hard to pay bills, raise children, and stay connected in our community.

The City spent $800,000 on a new sign — a project with no measurable return and ongoing maintenance costs. Meanwhile, programs that truly strengthen our city — like affordable after-school care — are left behind.

Dr. Guse compared it clearly:
💸 Option A: Spend $800,000 on a sign with zero ROI.
💡 Option B: Invest $800,000 in the Boys & Girls Club or other programs, where each dollar yields $9.60 in community return — creating over $7.68 million in value for local families.

Another costly mistake! At RSM4All, we believe real civic pride means investing in people, not projects.

It’s time to prioritize affordability, transparency, and accountability — and to build a city that reflects the needs of all residents, not just a few.
