		<description><![CDATA[So much money has been wasted.  Had we known the true expense of building the library behind City Hall, we NEVER WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR THAT SITE.  The library could have been built near Quail Gardens Dr, But to assuage the vanity of Stocks and Bond, among others, the library was built where it is NOT easily accessible to public transportation, due to the very steep hill, which hill also necessitated a HUGE RETAINING WALL.

Our library was built, finally, for over 24 million dollars, while the previous headquarters for San Dieguito Water District, and the public works yard was eliminated, necessitating another enormously costly purchase of the Mossy Property, and our spending over $11 million on buying it, then making it ADA accessible, when it was falsely sold as &quot;turn key.&quot;  Meanwhile, the ratepayers of SDWD were and ARE BEING CHEATED, as we were never justly compensated for our equity in the land, but were &quot;credited&quot; a mere million dollars, and then were CHARGED over $3.4 million more, STOLEN FROM OUR RESERVES,  for RIGHT OF USE ONLY of the new public works yard; we are not now on title, although we had owned our previous SDWD department and grounds, including the Public Works Yard OUTRIGHT, and collected rent of about $10,000 per year, from the City of Encinitas.

There is a definite conflict of interest, and there has been NO advocate for SDWD ratepayers as our Council is ALSO the Board of Directors for SDWD.  We are so tired of career politicians, with close ties to deep pocket developers doing &quot;pocket deals&quot; with the greedy hands that feed them!

Serving on Council should NOT be a career, but a service.  We hope that we can get a sunshine law and term limits on the ballot someday.  Incumbents Stocks and Bond appear to count on ignorance and apathy to get themselves re-elected.  More and more are realizing they  have &quot;served their purpose.&quot;  

Please give us a break!  We hope people read and become informed, that so many won&#039;t just read the campaign signs and follow misleading directions circulated by direct mailer scams, distributed by shady political action committees who allegedly &quot;do not coordinate&quot; with those they deceitfully promote.

Occupy integrity!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Times up for guess work. We are ready to stop playing interest only. We have burned $10M in real money carrying this mess  and more with RJM consultants. No contingencies  just a quickie escrow and a truckload of bad decisions.  Challenge JS and JB and lady K with a refinance to a number to pay off and build the park  with General Obligation Bonds all you need is a  66% public vote . Easy go easy play.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While this is going on, the city is battling the county to not complete the cleanup required of contaminated soil on the Hall property greenhouse land. The city wants the county to sign off on a cheaper, presumably less effective, toxic clean up plan. I hope the county does not back down and we can have a safe park.
This is a problem for the ‘Flower Capital of The World’. I hope the city acts responsiably.]]></description>
