Let's get this straight on the Mizel "grant" offered to the city. It isn't $1.5 million. The amount of money is $375,000 a year for four years.
ReplyDeleteThe $1.5 million will be the accumulation of the $375,000 per year after 4 years. If Mizel decides to not continue with the $375,000 payment after the first year, the city cannot make Mizel pay the rest of the $1.5 million.
Encinitas Council, you are being played for chumps. Worse, you the Council are playing residents for chumps for not emphasizing that the Mizel payment is $375,000 a year, not $1.5 million in one lump sum.
But given that Mizel might not pay any further yearly installments, the name would immediately revert back to the generic - right? Pay for play - standard operating procedure anymore in the corrupted political realm.
Delete12:26- Your CC isn't smart enough to think that far ahead....
Delete12:22,
DeleteThe Net Present Value of the payments is $1.456M, assuming 2% inflation. Inflation has actually been running below the FOMC target rate, so NPV is likely to be even higher.
If the Mizels were to back out early, we'd come out ahead, as the cost of signage change should be less than the first payment alone. We'd get the library back to the original name and keep the payments to date.
There are legitimate reasons to object, but the payment structure isn't among them IMO.
2:06, your NPV analysis only discounts the income stream with an inflation factor and completely leaves out a market return on the $1.5M if paid on Day 1. Nevertheless, this city is not for sale and Mizel should go take a hike. If his wife is offended and opts not to volunteer her time to the library, then the exit door has a sign and is well lit. Try not to let it hit her in the rear end on the way out.
DeleteIf the council agrees to this deal, they are as stupid as they look. $375,000 per year is not big money to get your name on a piece of property that WE THE CITIZENS are paying for.
ReplyDeleteShame, shame, shame on the mayor for letting it get this far. Of course, GASbag will come out smelling like a rose as the other money hungry council members are chomping at the bit for a small amount of money and selling out the citizens of Encinitas.
We will remember what you did come election time in November.
No one else is running. Even though disliked, they will all b reelected. The missing e was for grandma grammar nazi.
ReplyDeleteWrite in the pot kid (Alex Fidel?) - maybe he'll come back smoking his bong. I agree that WC should run - this blog indicates that (s)he is acutely cued into the inner workings of this community. That's a rare quality!
DeleteAlex Fidel has moved out of city and has changed his name. He's not running.
DeleteUh, that would be spelling, not grammar.
ReplyDeleteWhatever Gramma. Go take your swim at Beacons. Its only a spelling issue Grandma. there more for you to do in your old age times.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know it's a she? You're showing your bias.
Delete11:36 PM It's called "Beacon", punk!
DeleteSpelling and grammar are indicators of education and attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteIf your writing is sloppy, then your thinking is sloppy.
Like it or not, people generally are not impressed by the ramblings of an uneducated and sloppy fool. The occasional typo is overlooked. But when you can't figure out the difference between their, there, and they're, it's hard to take your opinion seriously.
If you want to have your opinion valued not just on EU, but generally, pick up a copy of The Elements of Style by Strunk and White. It's a very short guide to good writing with a few simple rules and common mistakes. Originally written in 1918, it has changed little since 1959. The book is on the shelf of nearly every journalist and good writer.
8:41, I stopped reading at "Spelling and grammar." If your writing is boring, then your thinking is boring. Snore!
DeleteThe English language is sloppy, this is a blog not a thesis, and over focusing on spelling or grammar errors shows you have nothing better to offer.
DeleteYour focus on all the laws and rules of the English language have left your critical thinking ability minimal.
When you have nothing to offer from a creative positive results standpoint, you always can attack a few spelling and grammar errors .
Play doesn't that feel good grandma. Now go take your swim at beacons . Try to enjoy the beautiful ocean and sky. You are in the waning years of your life and I hope you learn appreciation.
"people generally are not impressed by the ramblings of an uneducated and sloppy fool"
ReplyDeleteSo Explain Donald Trump?
(sigh)
DeleteI stand corrected. Sadly.
A majority of the American public has been politically asleep at the wheel. The government serves the rich corporate elite and gives the former middle class hollow lip service. A desperate class of economically displaced Americans are frantically seeking some resolution to their plight - therefore a fool like Trump presents an alternate, no matter how absurd he comes across. It could be a bait and switch ruse - Trump will bail at the last minute and Paul (Revere) Ryan will step in and defeat an unpopular Hillary (status quo elitist) Clinton. This could be the greatest political trickery ever pulled off with the American form of government (Bush's presidency in contention too).
DeleteThat's easy. Despite his schooling, he's an uneducated and sloppy fool.
Delete12:06. There is no difference between Paul Ryan and Hillary Clinton. They are both members of the Wall Street backed globalist that have stolen value from your family and mine......they are the Uniparty. Ryan and Hillary support open borders, forced immigration to change the cultural and racial demographics of cities and towns, increased H1B visa's to displace American citizens with low wage foreign technology workers, trade deals that benefit globalist banks rather than American families and workers and writing laws to benefit their wall Street friends. Over the last 30 years Ryan and Clinton have decimated our inner cities, education, infrastructure, finances and communities.
DeleteShould we have enforced borders to protect legal citizens?
Should immigration laws be enforced equally to All?
Should taxpayer money be spent to serve legal citizens or non-citizens?
Should trade deals be written to benefit American citizens?
Hillary and Ryan are proven liars. They are insiders at the rigged casino, and they are doing the rigging. The Clinton Foundation is self serving pay for play greed- and the suckered being sold are the American kids of tomorrow
8:57 PM Yep - business as usual.
DeleteCan you people get any more elitist/condescending/hateful? Just because you grew up with plenty of time and money for "education" and proper spelling and grammar, you discount another Americans opinion because he cannot express himself in such tailored and cultured way? You denigrate his thoughts and opinions because he doesn't exhibit your cultures proper spelling and 'attention to detail in writing? YOU are the problem with America. Take you elitist attitude and bigotry back to New York City or whatever tony neighborhood that you grew up in. Good riddance to elites.
DeleteThis wouldn't be a problem if the Native-Americans had enforced an immigration policy.
DeleteThere today exists an immigration policy to protect all legal citizens of all colors, faiths, genders and sexual identities. Hillary Clinton, Paul Ryan, PelosI and McCain along with Bush and Obama refuse to apply and enforce the law equally. The result includes rapes of children in places like twin falls idaho, murder like Kate Steinbeck in San Francisco on and failing schools and hospitals due to taxpayer money being spent to service non-citizens. Hillary, Ryan and the Uni-party support these open borders and policy preference to non-citizens. In Mexico today gangs kidnapped 12 tourists- lawless socity without borders.
DeletePlease, to any and all who feel this precedent setting policy of selling out our public treasures is wrong without a fully public vetting, take the time to email or write our council and mayor [still recused?] and remember to also contact Kathy Hollywood to make sure it goes on the public record. If your comment does not include that specific request to go on the public record, it will disappear.
ReplyDeleteLet council know. They have to hear from us. To have ever gotten to the point of issuing an MOU shows they were listening to the deep pockets only.
So much has come out about why this is so wrong, but council still needs to hear from every one of us who feels that this move, as a policy, is dead wrong.
Council members are here for a limited time, some more than others, and selling out our public treasures is not part of their job description. We have entrusted them with our votes and should expect every one of them to defend our community.
The history when written, will not look kindly at those who chose to betray this community by their actions.
Even with the limited choices we have at hand, we still have the power to ask them to do the right thing in regards to keeping OUR library the Encinitas library.
Take the time and let council and our wonderful clerk know where you stand while we still have a say before Weds., council meeting. Come on down and support the denial of this terrible precedent setting move that should have never gone this far. Demand that this MOU be discarded and the renaming be denied, once and for all.
This is in our hands. It should not be up to the council without us. They have no right to proceed with this without us. Let them hear from you.
I nominate the refuse can at dog park be called the Jerome $tock$ repository of comparable achievement.
Delete12:09pm Even a shit can is too much of an honor to be bestowed upon such a despicable character. The odor emanating from such is like a bed of roses compared to what he has left in his wake for us to deal with.
ReplyDeleteThere is no quarter where this cretin will be accepted back into our community and the No on the Railtrail group needs to realize their association with Paul will do that.
It is fully understandable why they would resort to anyone but Catherine, after her back and forth flip flopping, but another Gaspar, with you know who behind the scenes, will not bring forth what you are working toward, no matter what promises Paul may have made.
You would be far better off to bring Catherine back into your realm of influence. You have been so effective and you can continue to contribute significantly to us all, but any association with $ssss$ is a recipe for disaster.
Your group has provided such inspiration that residents can actually have a say. Don't squander that opportunity by associating yourselves with someone who will bring your efforts down.
I suggest we buy Paul GASpar several pairs of high heels. He so wants to be just like his wife. Those two characters are power hungry. Plus, they need the extra money.
Delete2:10 must be Catherine Blakespear or her doting, meddling, disgraceful mother, Tricia Smith. Given the options, you'd be a damn fool to not vote for Paul Gaspar.
Delete1:08 Then call me a FOOL because GASpar will not get my vote. It's too bad the GAspars have you fooled.
DeleteOMG. The image of another GASpar in heels and a short skirt is completely nauseating. I wonder if he comes with a tissue always in hand?
ReplyDeleteAllergy's or just the rarefied toxic atmosphere up on the dais?
There must be something that doesn't agree with her up there.
Has he officially filed yet? Many [too] have pulled the papers to run, but just who has backed that up with officially filing?
Thanks to WC and all who contribute positively for a better future we all hope for. Well, almost all. The others, we know all too well.
2:55 Heels, short skirts, boob job, blank stare, and buck teeth. Let's see, that just about covers it. Paul Gaspar is all set to go.
DeleteDon't forget the nose job to complete the picture. Wretch, wretch, ralph, ralph.
ReplyDelete3:29 Oh, yes, that gawd awful nose. Looks like a damn witch.
DeleteWorks great as a cheese cutter at Ecke's Christmas party!
DeleteI think Kristen looks great. Let's stand you old bags next to her and see the difference in looks.
DeleteI bet we could pick him a few of your qualities as well . Remember the golden rule .
6:00 Your standards are so low.
Delete6:00 sounds like a horney old guy.
DeleteNo shit. I forgot a woman's only purpose is to look "hot" her whole life. What shape are YOU in Conan?
DeleteIt is easy to see why almost all photos of her are shot from the dead center front. Not many, if any, feature a side view profile. Duh. Mikey doesn't care, do you 6am.?
ReplyDeleteAs long as you and your partner in crime $sss$ can weasel some way back in, it doesn't matter who they ingrain themselves with.
It is such a shame the Railtrail group have chosen to join with these characters when they know from where they came. What were they thinking? With only two choices, they should have pulled Catherine back into the fold but instead went with another developer shill and seat filler.
Ah, the possibilities of what could have been is gone again.
Paul GASpar = same bullshit, different asshole.
DeleteWill residents ever see Patricia Mizel? So far she is a ghost. No photos of her. She's not out shaking hands.
