Ill Will Undermines Election Issues
Letter to the editor

Emails were flying last week from one of the campaigns accusing others of taking their signs. By the time I saw my name in one of the emails, it was quite a surprise. I have never touched any signs of candidates except those I support, and I believe campaigns that focus on sign wars don’t care about issues.

The Greenwood campaign worker making the accusations last week also complained that someone stole numerous signs she placed along Chrisanta. Two people saw her posting signs, and she failed to mention that the signs were on the front lawn of Mission Viejo High School. School officials came out of the building immediately – the signs did not stand on school property for more than minutes before officials took them away. No other campaign took her signs.

The candidates who are maligning others have given voters a clear picture of the ill will they would bring to the council. Residents voted out such council members in 2002, and we should all hope not to take a big step backwards in this election.
