OK, if you really feel like Measure G takes away property rights
then at least seat a candidate that isn’t growth driven because if
you vote Measure G down and then seat pro-growth candidates you
might as well hand the county over to Whatever Homes.

“For all you Measure G people, Mr. Saxe didn’t subdivide his 10-acre parcel into two five-acre parcels. This is considered a parcel split. There is no zoning or EIR impact. A parcel split into several buildable lots for the sole purpose to build houses is a subdivision. This requires cutting roads, putting in sidewalks, curbs, gutters, street lights and all utilities.

If you self-serving busy bodies weren’t so busy trying to circumvent the county planning department to get your own way, Measure G wouldn’t have been created.

No is sometimes an answer you must accept. Let the planning department plan, OK? It’s their job. A yes vote on Measure G would do more to keep the current planning ordinance in tact and not divide the people.”

“Thank you for the opportunity to exercise my first amendment rights without fear of the powerful in this town.

Three of your latest news articles have hit a powerful nerve with me. First, as a longtime resident, I want to say that local taxpayers should be up in arms over the latest government rip off, namely the Sunnyslope Water District’s massive rate increase. Sure, they published a notice in the legal section of the paper. They did it legally, but who in today’s world has time to read the legal notices? They could have sent a notice out with the monthly bill. But had they done that, people would have been so mad they never could have been able to sneak through such a large rate increase. This especially punishes retired folks on a fixed income. They also plan to push for a further rate increase over the next two years. Maybe it’s time to look at who is on this board at election time.

Second, what is with the DA and his backroom grand jury? How does the DA get to pick who he wants to hear cases in secret; then have indictments handed out to whomever he wants? Why do we have judges? Why doesn’t the DA trust the judge to hear the case instead of a group of amateurs?

California did away with this process many years ago because of unfairness and only recently brought it back. Why do we need this? It just looks like another power play for our overzealous DA to make a big name for himself and is going to increase the costs to the taxpayer again. Boy am I sorry I voted for his guy!

Lastly, why is the county suing Ridgemark over the real estate office? That office has been there for almost 20 years. Did they just find out about it? How is it so darned offensive anyway? It looks just like a house and you don’t have any problems with this type of business. In fact, I would love to see a few more clean, tax paying businesses in this area. In fact, they should probably put a few more businesses like Starbucks in at Ridgemark so people who live there won’t have to drive all the way to town to get coffee.

Anyway, thanks for listening to an old coot who needs to blow off steam.”
