Alex Fidel weighs in on contentious issues
While likely mayoral candidates Teresa Barth and Kristin Gaspar have agreed on almost every major issue this term (Desert Rose, Prop A, budget, Communications Director, His Excellence Gus Vina, etc.), we have identified four votes in which they disagreed.
Now Alex Fidel, so far the only declared candidate for mayor, gives us his positions on these issues.

Boring!!
ReplyDeleteA more interesting topic would be the comment by the head of P and R stating they are considering "Naming Rights". To what?? Parks ?? The Library?? City Hall?? Hwy 101??
Dig deeper into her comment. Alex Fidel isn't going anywhere?? Why ?? No money... No money, no campaign.
10:52: The whole City is for sale, you know that. The Park with start as Encinitas Community Park and within a short time, it will be changed to whatever corporate sponsor wants it. Petco Park is a good example. Everything is for sale to the highest bidder. Just ask the Dr. Baird at EUSD.
ReplyDeleteBaird prefers to go by "Build it up Baird" ...Dr? pphhftttttt!
ReplyDeleteMayors Barth and Gaspar are speakers at a "State of the City" event on April 4, 2014 at the Encinitas Community Center. It costs to attend - I thought a state of the city was a public presentation and not part of an entertainment venue? Who says it won't 'snow' in April - when these 2 windbags let go, there will be a frost in the air. " Can't we all get along" vs WonderWoman - sums up the state of the city....desperate for leadership.
ReplyDeleteThey would have to pay to attend! This is scandalous. What happened to doing a State of City address in the council chamber?
DeleteThey should repeat the State of the City Address at a regular City Council Meeting, as a "Special Presentation." There is no excuse not to do so. Any proceeds by city "sponsosr/subsidiaries" should be reported on their Federal Tax forms as lobbying, because of the commercials they do at these meetings. Gus Vina should not sit on the State of the City Committee, as he did last year. These private/public partnerships create conflicts of interests and opportunities for more backroom deals, benefiting the few at the expense of the many.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this topic is boring 10:52. I always think if someone is bored, that's because of his own lack of understanding or imagination. Start your own blog, if you think you're so fascinating.
But I could think of a couple more votes where Teresa Barth and Kristin Gaspar differed. Both Gaspar and Muir voted AGAINST having more closed session ad hoc subcommittees re Pacific View. Tony wanted to be on the secret subcommittee, and so did Teresa, so Kristin and Mark's substitute motions both failed.
In fact, every time, when Gaspar and Muir have differed from Barth and Shaffer, Tony has been the swing vote. When he goes against Teresa and Lisa's plans, then I'm sure he gets flak from them, but I'm glad he did re hiring another full time code enforcement officer, without further consideration, at least.
Tony, Kristin and Mark had all expressed that perhaps instead of hiring a full time permanent Communications Director, we could begin by hiring a contractor, not a FTE. But at that time, they didn't have enough moxie to stand up to Vina, who was very insistent. So that vote, too, was unanimous. But in Council's discussion, there was some dissent; my opinion, Kristin and Mark were still learning to flex their "dissenting" muscles. They had been programmed through the Strategic Planning meetings to place "getting along" and civility above all else; team building was number one, and the public is NOT part of the team that has been sold a bill of goods by Vina, various "lobbyists" promoting growth over sustainability of infrastructure, including, too often staff. The School District is the same way; it's being directed by staff, not the Board of Directors, that is the Trustees, for EUSD, or Council, for the City.
Kristin also voted opposite of Teresa re term limits. Only Lisa and Teresa supported those. But I believe that will come back as a agenda item. I guess Lisa and Teresa don't mind the "referendum effect" in that case. They are willing to put those items they DEEM important on the ballot, but are not willing to listen to what the public deems is important.
Something that really bothered me about the Peak Democracy sales blow job that Council heard last Wednesday, the frequent Council attendees, the activist members of the public who do follow what's going on, and who do care about the community enough to watch and try to be involved, have some control over what's happening to us citizens, are discounted as being the "usual suspects." The plan is to get people, through the Rotary or the subsidized business associations, who may not normally attend meetings to be manipulated, or to be "yes men and women" to the goals set up by Council in the Strategic Plan. We are NOT creating the Strategic Plan, together; it's already a done deal. The decisions are made, then the public is brought in, to justify Gus Vina's and Council's pre-formed conclusions, and to pay for it all, of course, paying for it through ever escalating taxes and fees, and by unchecked growth's negatively impacting our roads, our water supply, and our quality of life.
Also, Kristin and Mark both voted opposite of the "new majority" of Tony, Teresa and Lisa, re term limits for commissioners, and adding two more "at large" members to the newly renamed Traffic and Safety Commission. The Traffic Commission had always been like the Planning Commission, with one member from each community, to keep balance. This helps balance out Council, who is all elected at large. If we had more active Commissions, the City would have more checks and balances. As it is, Council actually sits as executive, legislative and judicial branches, all rolled into one. But with this Council, Gus Vina is the acting "President," because the tail has been wagging the dog.
DeleteI had suggested, on many occasions, that we could have a separate Ethics and safety commission. That idea was suggested to me, originally, by Bob Nanninga, who thought that Council would be more open to such a commission if both were included. The Ethics Commission, separately, or together with Safety, was never even ADDRESSED by Lisa Shaffer who bills herself as an "ethical politician," and who has taught ethics, correct? It's really sad when someone seems so opposite of what her image was, when she campaigned. But she's in a "safe seat," now. I know this discussion is more about Alex, Kristin and Teresa. Alex will get more votes than people expect, is my prediction. Teresa will get less than she expects, if she runs.
Kristin and Mark both voted to keep the number of Traffic/Safety Commissioners to five. I want to see how Council would vote on a hiring freeze and reducing the pay for those making over $100,000 per year by 20%, down to $100K. Also, all employees should be required to make higher contributions to their CalPers plans. And Council should renegotiate how pay is averaged, in figuring pension liabilities for future years, so that it is based on the average of all the time worked, not just the last three years.
Lynn, so you care about Alex Fidel and his non campaign for mayor?? Go start your own blog?? I am offended at your constant abuse. I am just as entitled to post my opinion as you. You feel you have the right to denigrate others, dry up and blow away.
DeletePS- Perhaps you can buy a section of 101 and rename it the Lynn Braun Weed and Dirt Infested Hwy 101 Eyesore.
That isn't abuse. I simply stated when someone complains about being bored, it's not the fault of the blog administrator. If you find his topic boring, you could start your own blog and publish your own posts, all anonymously.
DeleteYou are the one who is and has been abusive in your defamatory and mean spirited comments, not me. The Highway is not for sale, although one would think it was, the way a self-inflated minority are trying to use taxpayer monies to get more parking for a few businesses, with a net loss, when the dirt parking alongside the railroad tracks "dries up," as it would, with four one lane roundabouts. You are the one pushing "beautification" as a means to your ends, when TransNet taxes will NOT be awarded for beautification, period. That is part of the reason that Phase II of the Leucadia Blvd never happened. Phase II WAS to be the beautification, and the elimination of the stop sign at Hygeia and Lecaudia Blvd.
I care about the campaign for mayor. I am interested in comparing Teresa Barth's votes to Kristin Gaspar's votes, as both their seats will be up for re-election, although this year, one will be open for mayor, and one for council member. I am interested, not bored, by comparing how Alex Fidel would vote in those cases where Kristin and Teresa disagreed; always with Kristin (and Mark Muir, but he's not up for re-election, unless he decides to run for mayor. He has said he's not interested at this time, before).
You just couldn't keep your remarks to the topic at hand, could you. You had to try to find a reason to denigrate me, as usual. I'm warning you, again, I do not appreciate weeds; I would like to preserve and protect the canopy; I am in favor of beautifying the medians. I don't have the City plant trees alongside the back of my property, such as at Gold Coast, which trees the City services watering truck has also been watering. I'm grateful for the trees, and hope they survive. But that is another case of selective "beautification" for certain persons of influence. Any time an old growth tree is removed, another tree should be planted in its place, including the old growth eucalyptus taken out south of El Portal, on 101, in front of Yoga Bliss.
Oh shut up.
DeleteAnother time Kristin and Mark voted the opposite of the "new majority" was re pushing the new start time for the San Dieguito Water District Meetings back to five o' clock. For 27 years, we had a tradition of starting these meetings at 6 p.m., when more people could attend, if they wished to. Now there is LESS transparency for the SDWD, because Tony, Teresa and Lisa saw fit to make it so they could have time for a break between meetings. There could have been an effort to have more than one SDWD per month, or to limit staff presentations to save time. But the overlap into the regular City Council Meeting was good, as more people were aware of the politics and rate and fee increases, as well as wrongly using the Water District as a cash cow for bogus lease revenue bonds, before.
ReplyDeleteThe Water District's board of directors should NOT be the same exact people as our Council Members. No one is watching out for the ratepayers and fee payers in SDWD, certainly not Lisa, whose idea it was to set the time back to 5 p.m.; it was her motion, with Tony seconding it.
FYI, those of us who WORK like the change in the time, because it means the council meetings can start earlier. It's not a conspiracy, but a common sense move. Some people like it, some people don't...
DeleteEven 6:00 pm is too early for many who work. But 5 pm is too early for over 90% of those who work, according to labor statistics, previously provided by Kristin Gaspar.
DeleteIt would be good for people to see the machinations and politics going on with respect to raising rates and fees for the Water District. People who work could still come to the Regular Council meeting. A problem has been overly long staff and "consultant" presentations for both meetings, and some Council Members overly long comments, including at subcommittee meetings, including Lisa Shaffer's often droning on and on.
But the staff and/or contractor reports are primarily what make the meetings go on so long, that and poor time management by the Mayor and City Manager in scheduling meetings and setting agendas.
Still not voting for him, or Kristin or Mark, unless Mark forgoes his pension, and Kristin tells us the scoop on the website she and her husband were behind. Let's have 5 new council people in the next 4 years.
ReplyDeleteLynn, why are so in love with Mark and Kristin? You've been following the council for at least 20 years, you can't in all honesty tell me you support these two clowns?
-Mr Green Jeans
I was commenting on WCV's initiating post. I have agreed with Kristin Gaspar (Mark Muir has also, as has Alex Fidel) when she has voted differently than Teresa Barth. I was sharing additional instances, besides those listed by WCV, through his link, above, wherein Kristin and Teresa have voted differently from one another.
DeleteI am glad that Council is no longer locked into unanimity, which was City Manager's strategy of civility designed to work to stifle dissent.
Muir and Gaspar have both been thinking about running for mayor for months. To have a chance of winning, they have to broaden their support. To do that, they have been disingenuously throwing bones to their opposition. Lynn has jumped on those bones.
ReplyDeleteWell, to everyone on this board, don't buy what Muir and Gaspar are selling. Big pensions, big development without concern for the community, secret websites, out of town money, that's where these two are at.
DeleteI still hold out hope for Lisa and Tony, I'll make that call at the end of their terms. Without going into it, I would like Teresa to step aside at this point. Let's get a totally fresh team in at city hall...
-Mr Green Jeans
GJ. Teresa Barth will not step aside, her ego is now as large as Stocks. She wrongly thinks most residents support the, they no longer do. Barth told untruths on A, she opposed residents at Desert Rose, the city is in worth financial shape today then when she became mayor. Her ego tells her she is loved but even she knows she isn't. Yes, Norby, DEMA the developers and special interest tell her she is great but they will not vote for her. You heard it hear first, Gaspar and Long will be elected.
Deletebottom line is Barth will lose for her stupid call, calling Vina "excellent"
Deletethat day ended her career. Not as bad a $tock$, but not good.
Bye. Barth.
Dump Barth - she is not a reformist - never was.
DeleteDoug long already ran twice, without winning, which is the kiss of death. He's not getting in...
Delete-Mr Green Jeans
I respect Lynn for what she brings to our community. She thoroughly does her research and presents things to council that WE as a community should be concerned with. It takes a lot of guts and courage for her to get up and make thought provoking comments. It's too bad that some on council have deafened their ears and turned their cheeks on the people who voted for them. I have to agree with Anonymous who posted at 6:54 and wonder what the fascination is with Muir and Gaspar. They are clearly puppets of Stocks and I know Lynn did not care for him. Asking Lynn to rethink her thoughts on these two. Teresa, Lisa and Tony have already shown their true colors. NO to reelecting any of them next time their seat is up. We need and deserve better for our city.
ReplyDeleteLynn is a fool with no logic.
DeleteYou are envious because you lack the intelligence she has. You are the fool.
DeleteThanks, 7:56. I have not come out, publicly, to support Kristin Gaspar or Mark Muir for mayor. I do support their positions, and Alex Fidel's positions, on those votes which WCV and I have listed, when they voted opposite of Teresa Barth (and Lisa Shaffer) Tony has been the "swing vote."
DeleteBut this thread, this current post by WCV, is comparing Kristin and Teresa's votes, and also showing Alex's positions on the votes that WCV listed, through his link, above.
I want the citizens to elect someone open minded, with integrity, for mayor. All incumbents made a terrible mistake in unanimously "supporting" Glenn Sabine and giving Gus Vina an excellent.
In understanding their actions, and comparing which of the incumbents might make a better candidate, we can look to their votes, where they differed. When they all agree, as in their civility, and their assertions that Teresa is "doing a fine job," well, then we must look to non-incumbents, such as Alex, the only individual who has actually declared he will be a mayoral candidate. I thought Mark Muir had said he isn't interested, but that could change. I respect that Alex Fidel has the courage and gumption to announce early.
Yeah, but Kristin's like a puppet on a string up there, with Mike Andreen and Stocks still trying to pull the strings. We have to do better.
DeleteI don't think Alex Fidel can win, but I would love to see someone like him come out and run a strong campaign. The problem is his candidacy has a "novelty" factor because of all the weed legalization and "big brother" discussion.
Those are valid topics on the state and Nat'l stage, but locally I think we have to focus more on city concerns. I nominate the Cardiff Kook, you know he can take the heat, and he's always present!
Lynn, just because Gaspar and Muir respond to your comments every now and then, please don't be fooled by their deceptive tactics. All they are doing is showing people, hey, we listen to our citizens when they speak when in all actuality they good give a damn hoot.
DeleteI think that the sense of "respect" that the council likes to boast of is more a case of "honor among theives." Gaspar is thinking about how to make a fortune off of Barth and Shaffer's idealistic/hypocritical eco values. Muir
ReplyDeleteis trying to protect his Publisher's Clearing House-sized pension, and Tony (and Lisa also) are planning on how they will get their kids into low income housing. Tony has his eye on his mother-in-law's property and would himself like to develop it more than likely, using density bonus!
7:56 As well I now see Lynn as probably the best citizen in Encinitas, truly doing good and fighting the tide of a corrupt local government. We should put a statue of Lynn in the new park or name it for her. Thanks Lynn my neighbors love what you are doing to better encinitas. Council needs to show you respect but they don't even respect themselves so doubt it will happen.
ReplyDeleteOh shut up!!
DeleteOMG…. Lynn needs to meditate. or something.
DeleteHer comments are worthless. and waste tax dollars.
Your comment was worthless and a waste of time 10:26
DeleteThe comment at 8:42 has to be from a council member (or former member). That is about the size of their mentality and expertise. Or is that you Mr. City Manager or City Attorney??
ReplyDeleteYou mean 9:42? "Long," as in Doug Long? Puh-lease, he has more skeletons than a graveyard.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely unelectable; folks here will make sure of that.
I agree; Doug Long should continue to serve on the Parks and Recreation Commission, to which he was reappointed. He was too tied to corrupt Dan Dalager, and the corruption of the EPA, the Chamber of Commerce and the 101 Associations' advocating against Prop A through lies, hyperbole, conjecture and use of logos without permission. Doug Long supposedly helped distribute the false flyers!
DeleteSomeone should complain to the FPPC about the PAC's using the logos, allegedly without permission of the business associations, which are City sponsors/subsidiaries. I will be asking for a full disclosure for 2013 of Federal Tax forms for L101MA, including all lobbying activities, which in the past, have been unreported. These non-profit tax forms are publicly disclosable, and should be available through the City, since the 101 Associations are city subsidized.
So why should he continue to serve, or do you mean he should not continue to serve?
DeleteBecause if he's involved in corruption, I'd think he should step down. And I say IF, I don't know the details.
Frankly, Doug doesn't seem that clued in, and if he'd have gotten on the council, would have been a step down from Dallablabber, which is saying something.
-Mr. GreenJeans
Doug should continue to serve on the Parks and Rec Commission, because he reapplied, and he was reappointed. I think there is corruption, but unless someone has the time and financial resources to file a complaint or pursue civil litigation, then there should be avenues for him to provide service to the community, as a volunteer.
DeleteI don't see a comment at 9:42????
ReplyDeletePredictions:
ReplyDeleteBarth will retire from politics at the end of her current term.
The sole way Fidel will get an appreciable number of votes is if the only other candidates for mayor are Gaspar and/or Muir. Voters will choose the anarchist kid over Gaspar or Muir because they don't want hyper-development, and the kid will be fun to watch.
Can't louse it up anymore than it is!
DeleteNO TO GASPAR OR MUIR.
ReplyDeleteYES TO GASPAR OR MUIR! Not one person has specified any one vote as to the reason their not qualified. Please don't bring up that one obtained a pension after a long fire service career and the other works for developers interests, yet can't name one. It's old and factually incorrect! I didn't work for Stocks, but I would vote for either of these two.
ReplyDeleteThat's why this city is such desperate straits.....
DeleteGaspar abstained on the initial vote on Pac View several years ago, James Bond called her out at the time. She has nothing to add to the dialogue. She was a put up between the Rotary Club, developers, The Stocks/Bonds axis and cronies of her husband's rehab practice, that put up a ton of out of town money.
DeleteI would put it to you to list any of her REAL business or political achievements, of which there are virtually none.
Muir was a highly paid fire chief, who seems like a decent guy, but who's role on the council has to be viewed through the prism of the fire union, who's interest he protects. Why else did so many of them show up when he was installed, so many that they and the Sherrif's blocked any regular people from entering, despite the fact the doors weren't even open. They stacked the room.
This is the same guy who was out with Jerome putting up signs early. We can do better, way better...
Thanks for joining us, Mr. Andreen! How's Oceanside treating you!
Gaspar and Muir's interests don't coincide with the betterment of the community-they serve specific cliques with vested interests, as 12:02 PM has pointed out.
DeleteGaspar wants more people in Encinitas so she can continue to build up her customers at her one-stop shop. Muir needs money so he can continue to pay for food and drinks. They are so far out of touch with what the people of Encinitas want and need. They want to give all the money to the city manager and city attorney. They are puppets on the string of we all know who (what's his name).
DeleteDoesn't matter they won't win.
ReplyDeleteDr. Lorri - you were trying to find out how much $abine has been paid by the city - any figures yet?
ReplyDeleteLots of questions from this poster - any answers?
DeleteAnd I do mean someone is on here, fishing.
DeleteFishing? For what?
DeleteI'm waiting on the City of La Mesa, who also obtains Glen as a contract attorney. I sent them an email yesterday telling them they were in violation of the CPRA since it has been about a month since I requested the info. Will not give out anything until all is in. Will see what the City Clerk in La mesa says. Here's the thing though. No matter what he costs us, no one seems inclined to let his contract even be put to bid. There is a lot of number crunching to do and I have reached out to 2 members of this forum that I know asking for help. So far, no response. I need someone with some statistical background. If there are any of you put there, email me or WcV and ask for my email if you don't have it.
DeleteIt's not a question of qualifications. They're undesirables because they're in and they represent a sullied minority.
ReplyDeleteStill, there are plenty of bad votes. Examples: no on Prop A, yes on Desert Rose, yes on $19.3 million Hall Park, yes on one-laning 101. Anybody who's kept a blow-by-blow record can provide many more.
Gaspar has a tough choice to make. If she runs for mayor and loses, she's out of Encinitas politics as an elected official. If she runs for her council seat, she has a better chance of winning, but her power status wouldn't change.
Best for the community: Gaspar drops out, and her seat is won by an honest representative of the majority of residents.
When the next lawsuit from the FPPC takes out all the Prop A folks in June: who'll get the last laugh?
DeleteYou man someone has fiuled a suit against Doug Long, Doug Harwood and Christy Guerin?
DeleteWho can forget Barth, Shaffer, Kranz, Gapsar and Muir joining forces with the developers and fae "Social Justice" groups out of Chicago trying to mislead voters into voting against Prop A
How'd we tie in Prop A. with Obama?
Delete7:29 check the facts - a large group out of Chicago sent money to oppose Prop A - why?
DeleteGoogle 'Building One America' check out the social justice engineers seeking to take control of local towns and cities away from residents and place control in the hands of un-elected regional governing bodies who then control housing, transportation and education.
We know what he is about with or without info.
ReplyDeleteI think rambling Lynn should run…. that would be hilarious!!!
ReplyDeleteLynn would be a better representative of the people than any that are currently serving or have served in the past. And she isn't a ditsy blonde.
DeleteI appreciate Lynn's hard work and courage in speaking at meetings and sharing her views in the local paper. If she were not so threatening to powers that be, she would be ignored.
DeleteWhy not just allow for people to express their 1st Ammendment rights in this city?
Who's saying anything about limiting 1st Ammendment rights?
DeleteMan- you can make shit up in your head.
I just think it would be hilarious for Lynn to try and explain a positive vision for Encinitas's future.
Why does Lynn attempt to repress others first amendment rights?? That's the real question.
DeleteBecause that is one strange twisted sister.
DeleteI don't try to suppress anyone's First Amendment Rights. On the contrary, they are important to me and to everyone in our community. All of our inalienable rights are balanced against our responsibility to do no harm.
DeleteRun Lynn, Run!!!
DeleteLynn, again you lie. You threaten people with lawsuits when all they do is present an opposing point of view to yours. Threatening to sue someone has the same effect as limiting their right to freedom of speech. More obstructionism on your part.
DeleteGo plant some flowers on your stretch of 101......
There is no median on 101 adjacent to where we reside. But I do plant flowers adjacent to 101. I will not continue to engage with you. I have never threatened to sue anyone for having an opposing point of view to mine. I feel that diversity in opinion is healthy. No one should have to put up with being targeted and bullied by personal, defaming remarks, that go way over the line, and are not expressing a "point of view" other than to libel, repeatedly, someone's character. Perhaps you wouldn't be concerned about threats of litigation if you didn't know that you have, repeatedly, gone over the line of decency. You cannot bully me off this blog.
DeleteStick to your guns Lynn. The ones who are putting you down only wish they had half of your intelligence. I have a feeling some of these people are current council members or the other dodos who got booted out or couldn't get reelected if their mother voted for them.
DeleteGuess who is hitting the bottle & blogging again...
ReplyDeleteLynn is constantly attacked because she makes certain people uncomfortable with the facts. Informed citizens are always perceived as a threat by the power brokers or sell-outs who are conning the system..
ReplyDeleteLynn is an obstructionista. Go to the north end of 101 and you'll see Lynn's vision of Encinitas. Weeds and dirt. The Lynn Braun Highway to nowhere. Her claims to wanting a nice median are folly.
DeleteDon't tell me or try to tell others what my vision is. You have no idea. I do want to beautify Leucadia. You are using Teresa Barth's word, "obstructionist," or is she using yours?
DeleteI would like to preserve and enhance our canopy. This goes beyond wanting a "nice median."
Four one-lane roundabouts would be obstructions on our highway, not I. That is what this is about, actually, your support of four one-lane roundabouts, which would create Tony Gerschler's Highway to nowhere.
We all support beautifying Leucadia. But you are attempting to polarize the neighborhood over this issue. It isn't working. Adjacent residents, by a large margin, do not support four one-lane roundabouts because of increased cut through traffic they would bring, slower emergency response times, and more back-up on Historic State Highway 101.
TransNet taxes will not pay for highway beautification. Not every thread is about the north end of 101. But we can all agree, we would like to beautify Highway 101, including along the railtrail corridor; specifically, extending the railtrail corridor bicycle lane all the way north to La Costa Avenue and to have more public art installations.
I support trenching the tracks, but since that won't happen anytime soon, there should be more at grade RR crossings for pedestrians and bicyclists, including one at Marcheta. El Portal is not a good place for a crossing because of the drainage ditch west of Paul Ecke Central, and because the tracks have been raised up, significantly, there.
Sorry I don't have time to read your posting I'm digging up your flower plantings on the 101. Oh that's right, you've never planted a single flower on 101. I guess that leaves me time to walk Neptune and get fresh air in my lungs and enjoy this beautiful day. C-ya, so glad I do t have to B-ya!!!
Delete3:56 is already into the wine. Again, another typo. Talk about stupidity---no wonder you are digging up flowers.
DeleteNeptune? That you, Charlie? Hahahaha.
DeleteNCTD opposes at Grade crossings, that's not going to happen.
DeleteMr. Green Jeans
We already have an at grade crossing at the train station. It seems to be working OK. Even Amtrak stops there now.
DeleteThat's at the actual station. She was referring to at grade crossings throughout the city, like in Leucadia, where there's nowhere to cross, other than Leucadia Blvd. or La Costa Ave.
Delete-Mr Green Jeans
Isn't it interesting how Lynn gives her campaign speech after someone points out her nonsense. Can't wait for November.
DeleteRun Lynn run!! ( I'll even toss in $20 bucks to pay the filing fee).
Lynn is attached because she attacks others and is a rambling idiot.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to go on some walks and clear her head before she starts posting.
Her posts would be more logical and concise.
10:39 you can't even spell so go grab another glass of wine or beer. Then go take a long walk in the dark,
DeleteI so agree with 9:57 and your comments. Lynn will not back down and she shouldn't. She is the voice of those who feel the same way but are not brave enough to be pounced upon by the pit bulls. Every one should keep their eyes and ears open on how OUR money is being spent. Thank you Lynn for being our voice.
ReplyDeleteOK I give up. Why is Kranz in D.C. using our money for some strange convention or whatever it is?
ReplyDeleteKranz wants to see how the big boys spend the taxpayers' money - practice makes perfect!
ReplyDeletePhony Tony with his "deep local roots" get's elected and is soon after seen hob-knobing with Doug Manchester and Papa Lynch of the UT-
ReplyDeleteSee how it works?
How many times do we have to hear this tired stuff repeated over and over.
DeleteGet a new take for god's sake...
And while you're at it, learn the English language and how to use it!
DeleteMuir and Gaspar are using Lynn Marr and the poor dear doesn't even no it !
ReplyDeleteThey are, but she'll take kindness where she can get it. Barth too self-absorbed to realize some "decorum" on her part toward Lynn would go a long way...ever see Barth watching the clock when Lynn's speaking? It's like she's on a game show, waiting to hit the buzzer before the other contestants.
DeleteWhen Barth gets nervous she starts licking her lips and reaching behind herself to scratch her back. Bed bug problems at home??
DeleteMaybe Barth has hives?! She is out of her league with Lynn Marr; Barth has little command of the facts on any issues, whereas Marr is well informed. No wonder these hacks in City hall are terrorized of her!
ReplyDeleteTerrified is the word you're looking for there.
DeleteNot hardly… pity is probably a better word
DeleteI call her a waste of time….
Well then you would fear what she exposes...
Deletehardly… I will not waste my time. I listened to her about 10 times and that is enough to realize she has nothing valuable to add. Just a gadfly that like to waste everyones time.
DeleteLynn is getting so popular now Muir & Gaspar want to get her favor. Who would have thought but I saw her outsmarting the council at every turn, do not underestimate her! Lynn don't be fooled or get played, even though Shaffer & Kranz did a total betrayal, actually making themselves unfavorable, let's all look for new blood and not settle. I do think some good candidates are coming.
ReplyDeleteTotal delusion….
DeleteCrazy mind you have.
Every time Barth says "I want to weigh in on this one" it makes me cringe. Or how about this one when all of the council have said----we should really have a conversation on this in the near future. They sound ridiculous and inept as usual.
ReplyDelete"If I may" can't be long off....
DeleteMarr for mayor!
ReplyDeleteGood one!
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine her campaign announcement. Her campaign manager would have to give her a buzz after 3 minutes.
All her speeches would be cut after 3 minutes of blabbering the same old stuff she spews all the time.
I would bet that previous campaign managers, including their candidates, were literally "buzzed" after 3 minutes.

ReplyDeletePoor Lynn what a pity ,I do feel so sorry for her
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jerome. Throw back another.
DeleteFor sure it is Anonymous Jerome. One just knows these things. He can't keep his trap shut.
DeleteToo funny Lynn telling someone to keep their trap shut. Hello?
ReplyDeleteLol you must be sitting next to Jerome, keeping up on the bottle count. Lynn, in case you hadn't noticed, always posts under her own name. Enough people on here know Jerome/Andreen/usual suspect developer rants to call 'em out when we sees 'em.
DeleteWith a little Marco on the side, hehe.
DeleteYeah, except several people have called me out for that, I'm not in the Jerome camp.

Obviously 5:52 can't read and it is way too early for you to open your eyes this morning, or perhaps too much wine last night?? No one said to "keep their trap shut". What was said is "He CAN'T keep his trap shut". Big difference. Hello??
DeleteOh yeah, Big difference…. like when someone says its not over until "fat" lady talks and talks and talks and talks…. with no new points being made.
DeleteLynn post under multiple names with her multiple personalities. Lynn has zero credibility
ReplyDeleteKeep repeating it and maybe it will be true...for you.
DeleteNo I don't. But you love to make anonymous accusations, 7:45. You don't need to bother with multiple identities.
DeleteMarr for Mayor!!
ReplyDeleteRun Lynn run!!
She would win. If not mayor, a council seat is guaranteed.
DeleteAre you going to finance her campaign ??? No?? Then she's not going anywhere, except to city hall to get her 3 minutes of weekly fame.
DeleteI'll start it. Where do I send a check?
DeleteI'll send big money, where do I send it to?
DeleteSend it to city hall c/o Lynn. Everyone knows her there, they'll make sure she gets it.
DeleteMayor Marr. Hmmm. Sounds familiar.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you're thinking of Mallowmars, the soft, juicy, chocolate-covered treats from Nabisco. They're available wherever dental hygiene is discouraged.
ReplyDeleteMarr does remind me of Mallowmars….
ReplyDeleteI hope you all get out and enjoy some fresh air today!!!
