Every article on the local opinion page in Friday's edition was about bad Encinitas government -- and so was the cartoon.

Andrew Audet and Cyrus Kamada both write on the council majority's mayoral power grab. And Denise Martin writes on the fraudulent numbers from SANDAG that are being used to try to force high-density development on Encinitas through the General Plan Update. You can read all three on page four of this pdf.
In the cartoon, local artist Mary Fleener comments on problems at the fire department -- and firefighters' outrageous pay and pension package.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a city council whose dirty tricks we didn't have to read about every week? I don't know about all the cities in the Coast News' coverage area, but both of our coastal neighbors Solana Beach and Carlsbad have passed pension reform, while our union-owned council majority of Jerome Stocks, Kristin Gaspar, and Jim Bond (with Mark Muir MIA) just gave firefighters a contract with a pay raise and a guarantee of no pension reform for four more years.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!!!
ReplyDeleteWANT CHANGE?? VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!!
YES, EVEN BARTH NEEDS TO GO.
VVVVOOOOTTTEEE TTHHHHEEEMMM ALLLLL OOOUUUTTT!!!!
Wow!!! Someone hits the nail on the head.. Notice how the negotiations with the firefighters was behind closed doors. No public input requested. Nice. Vote them all OUT!!!
DeleteI do believe that the, now super majority, that has had a strangle hold on our city must end if we want a council that fairly represents our city.
ReplyDeleteI do not agree that the, now, only council member that fights for open government, Barth, should be replaced. Of course she is not running this year.
There will be three openings. In order to hear the voice of fairness, two open council members must be voted in. Dump Stocks and Muir.
I want our city back!!!
