Instead of trying to find out what Encinitas residents really want and making decisions that are best for the community, their job is to identify what their donors are looking to get, package it so that it sounds like what residents want it, and then they deliver the goods to their special interests– who in turn toss them some scraps.

The Dan Dalager story was a perfect example of how little it takes to bribe some politicians. Who among us would vote to give away public land for new, (or almost new) dang-near free, kitchen appliances? Remember that after that proud, public omission, Stocks and Bond made robo-calls in support of Dalager while blaming citizen activists, and Gaspar had her image appear with his on slate mailers. In the background, Muir may have been campaigning during work hours–at least if he was behaving the same way as when he worked for Jerome and Jim in their last campaigns.

Our City Attorney sits silently during meetings smiling like a garden gnome, and takes positions on issues like depriving citizens their right to public records–at huge cost to taxpayers, when he is found wrong. It is time for a house cleaning.

What kind of City has Encinitas become?
