Put it on the ballot The letter in the Saddleback Valley News from Barbara Casserly ("Activists speak for few,” Feb. 24) complains that the people who attend city council meetings and speak do not represent the voters. The source of her complaint is the defeat, once again, of a gym to be built at city expense that would be "joint-use" but located at a school. We pay taxes to support the local schools. We pay taxes to support our city. If Ms Casserly wants the city to deplete its reserve funds again to build a gym for her children, I suggest she organize and put it on the ballot. Some of us think the city has already been weakened by special interest spending and would prefer that it concentrate on city matters. We threw out a city council majority once on that issue. Elections are coming again this year and Ms. Casserly has an opportunity to make her case to the voters. Maybe she should run for office. |
