City Council to EUSD thugs: Pound sand!

It's nice to see the City Council unanimously (apart from "recusal" wonder girl Gaspar) stand up to the bullying tactics of EUSD Superintendent Tim Baird and the Art Pulse scammers.

The Art Pulse pitch is: we'll build a nice art center, but only if you upzone the property so we can flip seven houses on the historic property and make a fortune. Meanwhile, Tim Baird's pitch is: give me upzoning or I'll sue the pants off of you.

Patch:
In a 4-0 vote, councilmembers agreed they could not approve the request because Encinitas Union School District is currently suing the city over the property. Councilwoman Kristin Gaspar recused herself from the issue, as she has done in the past.

[...]

“The lawsuit should have been dropped prior to the request for the rezone,” said Mayor Jerome Stocks. “We’re not going to start going down a process with a gun to our head. That’s just not appropriate.”

  1. Yesterday, his Imperial Regional Emperor, Mayor Jerome Stocks, declared democracy too inefficient
    and time consuming. Faced with a large amount of speakers on two issues, his Imperial Regional
    Emperor exercised his benevolent wisdom and unilaterally appointed leaders within speaking groups,
    reduced or increased speaking times, and cut off those speakers that were just wasting time. Like the
    ancient leader Alexander when faced with the Gordian Knot, the Emperor cut through annoying City
    procedure, common courtesy, and useless opinions so that the City Council would not have to face an
    extra long meeting. His Imperial Regional Emperor knows what you are thinking and knows what is
    good for you. He is there to help whether you know you need it or not. I do believe the rumors of the
    Mayor's office being made hereditary and the construction of a bejeweled crown for his Imperial
    Regional Emperor to be incorrect. Please get in line.
