Let voters decide on a dog park

Can't we put up for city election the idea of a dog park? If voted in, then proceed.  I personally would love one so we have a place to take our dogs in a safe environment. After all, aren't they part of our family?

Dog park formula – keep it simple

I am all for a dog park. It would nice to see my tax money go to something I can use (I don't have any school-age kids). But $1 million for one??? Wow, why so much??? Does the price include the land value? If so, this is going to be one tiny dog park!!! Perhaps the city is bidding it high so they'll have an excuse not to build it. All we need is: 1) A couple acres of grass (redwood bark is terrible on paws). 2) A nice fence (no chain-link) with a separate area for small dogs. 3) A double-gate. 4) A two-level water fountain (for two- and four-legged drinkers). 5) Some trees along the perimeter for shade. 6) Adequate parking. 7. Some benches for people to sit on.  That's it. We're not talking Golden Gate Park here

Don’t sell out on health

It appears to most informed people that Jim Bentley, a Mission Viejo homeowner, is willing to sell his and his neighbors’ health for a few pieces of eight. Cell towers are not only a blight on the neighborhood but a long-team health issue for all exposed.
