Council Candidates - My Short Critique

Council Candidates – My Short Critique
Letter to the editor

The city council meetings, also known as “Monday Night Live,” need some new stars and better acts!

After listening to all 10 candidates in a recent forum – the potential future “winners” – it is time to choose three aspirants to fill the vacancies on the city council. Upon hearing several incumbent backslappers convincing themselves of their accomplishments, another council applicant is rehashing “bury the power lines.” This issue was voted down by a local vote. Several candidates of the younger set who rightly deserve to be heard can try again later.

The consensus really comes down to one incumbent and two new city council future members: namely, Councilman John Paul Ledesma with future council members Jim Woodin and Michael Ferrall. Both of the two new candidates have backgrounds in civic affairs, sound budget programs, halting of cost overruns and putting high expenditures up to the voters in Mission Viejo.

The new show must go on!
