  6. In todays commentary just this morning. Private plane
    with the tail number of N734ZK owned by Jamie Dockins flying out of Montgomery Field 18 miles away. 25 times back and forth over Encinitas. Hospitals, Medical offices, school and 10's thousands. Most of the time between 1100 to 1500 feet.
    Whom ever was piloting the plane is a danger if they find it smart to circle over and over. Let's just see if the FAA has any interest. Jamie Dockins owner

Interesting (and maybe shady) that Rachel Graves paid for his legal retainer...$35k and that should make us ALL say something there is not right.

  15. Good morning, Encinitas ☀️

    Our community is being failed by costly, mismanaged transit projects that waste taxpayer dollars, harm public health, and degrade the coastline our children depend on. Statewide failures like Gavin Newsom’s high‑speed rail are headline examples — and locally the North County Transit District’s Coaster program is proving to be its own costly disaster.

    Hard-hitting facts and concerns
    - Hundreds of millions flushed down a failed promise: The Coaster has consumed massive public funds while repeatedly missing performance and ridership targets. See NCTD’s FY2025 report for spending and budget details: https://d4lp5oxce4dvw.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/FY2025-NCTD-Annual-Comprehensive-Financial-Report.pdf (https://d4lp5oxce4dvw.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/FY2025-NCTD-Annual-Comprehensive-Financial-Report.pdf)
    - Health impacts ignored: Operations and routing expose schoolchildren and coastal neighborhoods to diesel emissions and pollution without adequate mitigation. The Surf Line Trail and coastal access are being threatened while nearby communities shoulder the burden: https://thesurflinetrail.org/ (https://thesurflinetrail.org/)
    - Lack of transparency and accountability: Board decisions and oversight have not delivered the scrutiny residents deserve. The NCTD board information pages show who’s responsible — and who must be held accountable: https://gonctd.com/about-nctd/board-information/ (https://gonctd.com/about-nctd/board-information/)
    - California’s larger pattern of boondoggles: If you want context for how bad it can get when leaders pursue politically driven mega‑projects, review reporting on the state high‑speed rail failures: https://nypost.com/2026/02/04/us-news/gavin-newsoms-high-speed-rail-photos-reveal-truth-of-15-billion-project/ (https://nypost.com/2026/02/04/us-news/gavin-newsoms-high-speed-rail-photos-reveal-truth-of-15-billion-project/)

    Direct demands — no fluff
    - Immediate independent audit: Commission a full, forensic audit of the Coaster program and related capital projects with public release of findings and recovery plans.
    - Stop further wasted spending: Freeze major capital outlays until audits are complete and cost‑benefit analyses demonstrate clear, measurable community benefit.
    - Protect children’s health now: Require immediate air‑quality monitoring at schools adjacent to lines, adopt mitigation (setbacks, vegetation buffers, filtration in schools), and prioritize rapid replacement with zero‑emission vehicles where feasible.
    - Reallocate to proven, affordable alternatives: Redirect capital toward bus rapid transit, electric flexible fleet ride-share and shuttle programs, safe walking and biking infrastructure (including completion of the Surf Line Trail connections), and targeted service that actually meets community demand.
    - Enforce public oversight: Require monthly public dashboards on ridership, costs, and emissions; hold board members accountable in public hearings; and establish a citizens’ oversight committee including parents, teachers, public‑health professionals, and coastal advocates.

    Why this matters
    Taxpayers are not a bottomless account to finance failed experiments. When agencies spend hundreds of millions on projects that don’t deliver, the real victims are North County families — children breathing polluted air, beaches and trails degraded, and local services starved for funds.

    1. The Coaster is not a program, it's a transit mode/service. There is ample opportunity to speak publicly at NCTD meetings and have your voice heard, but you're apparently way too lazy.

      Spare the rest of us your rants, they didn't spend all that money in San Clemente and Del Mar (upcoming) to dump the rail through coastal North County. It won't happen.

  16. Part 2 of 2:

    What you can do today
    - Demand the independent audit and spending freeze from NCTD and your elected officials. Use the board page to identify contacts: https://gonctd.com/about-nctd/board-information/ (https://gonctd.com/about-nctd/board-information/)
    - Share the facts and call for reporting. Local outlets should dig into the Coaster’s history and costs — reporters: follow the money (FY2025 report): https://d4lp5oxce4dvw.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/FY2025-NCTD-Annual-Comprehensive-Financial-Report.pdf (https://d4lp5oxce4dvw.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/FY2025-NCTD-Annual-Comprehensive-Financial-Report.pdf)
    - Push for alternatives that protect health and the coastline: learn more about trail and coastal options: https://thesurflinetrail.org/ (https://thesurflinetrail.org/)

    We will not accept repeated government waste while our children’s health and our coastline are sacrificed. It’s time to stop the Coaster boondoggle, demand accountability, and invest in smarter, healthier transportation solutions for North County.

  31. You're still crying about EN? ๐Ÿคฃ They're not at all the same thing.

    SEN, EV, EKR, etc are anonymous propaganda sites with an obvious agenda. They built an audience using click bait and stories with nothing to do with Encinitas. They tell people who and what to vote for. They use misinformation, fear and hate to push their agenda. They publicly attack and smear anyone they don't like. They lie constantly. They block anyone who points out their lies. They work for and with political campaigns. They donate tons of time and money to the politicians they like. They fundraise for politicians they like. They cherry pick which articles they share. They twist and spin every article to fit their agenda. Basically they're using the Trump propaganda playbook.

    EN copy's and paste's Encinitas news stories without comment.

    Normal people can see the difference. Only MAGAtts and mental defectives constantly whine about EN.
