Too Little Too Late for Trish Kelley and Lance MacLean Ms. Kelley, after being elected to the council in 2002, said, “I’m beholden to no one because I did it all by myself.” Question: who put up all her campaign signs at 3 a.m. after making them on her behalf? From the beginning of her tenure on the council, we’ve seen fiscal irresponsibility and cost overruns. As for MacLean’s 2002 campaign, he said, “Investigate and look at all the city expenditures.” Whatever happened to MacLean’s famous comment about putting the former city manager’s $6,000 desk on eBay? What about MacLean’s recent answer to the question during a public meeting, “How much money have you accepted from Steadfast?” Answer: “I forget.” Kelley and MacLean have reached a point of no return. Just thank these two for the least they offered in financial affairs, band-wagoning by Kelley in the Capo school district’s latest news, and MacLean’s statement that there is nothing wrong with Newhart Intermediate School. Let’s just let these two politicians fade away, now that we have two new challengers for the city council election this November. Already in the ring are two outstanding candidates regarding financial responsibility and civic policies, namely Jim Woodin and Michael Ferrall. Councilman John Paul Ledesma deserves to be reelected for consistently being prepared ahead of council meetings. We can well afford to lose the other two incumbents. William Cruse |
