Heavy shit W.C. Nailed it! Great essay. I fear the Mayan's may be right about the end of the world as we know it. I will not let my 11 year old walk home from school because of all the monsters out there that prey on our young. We have left our children with a horrible world. Somewhere along the way we forgoten about what stewardship of the planet really means.
The only public speaker to make comments in support of Muir was involved in the building industry. This comment came from Greg Barth, whose name appears as a supporter of Dan Dalager on 2010 reelection mailers, and who clarified that he is “no relation to Teresa Barth.” But that he were so lucky!
Greg Barth’s point that we live in ‘a republic’ only provides another level of support to Ehlers’ and Meiche’s position that for Muir to be ‘appointed’ as a City employee, rather than for him to retire and get ‘elected’ to the position, communicates an impression of a three-way quid pro quo. If voters would have placed Muir into Council, it would be different.
While we were paying Muir Bond and Stocks and their Rotary buddy Phil Cotton turn a blind eye as Muir uses of City email and city time to support their elections, in conflict of Encinitas own code of conduct, Muir was moving up through the ranks. Muir and his wife also sponsored fundraising events for Bond, which is a blatant display of cronyism since the Fire Chief is supposed to non-political and serve ALL Encinitas residents—not just those who can promote him in exchange for campaign work.
Since Muir has lied about his leadership role in different PAC’s involved in electing Bond and Stocks--seemingly in exchange for promotion, and since his wife Mo is the treasurer of at least 1 PAC, I would suggest that Mrs. Muir start a conversation with Duke Cunningham’s wife Nancy Cunningham. Nancy Cunningham also served as Treasurer for a non-profit that her husband managed.

The end of the world is near may not because the Mayans told us so, but because of how people use Mother Earth's resources like there is no more tomorrow yes it will end in it's cruel way of ending.
[D]eath is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.

ReplyDeleteThat essay applies to cronyism too!
