Reader Response Is cost being ignored? I am surprised that nothing is said about the ton of money the city is spending on the 20th anniversary bash, including all the cost of overtime for the city staff. David *** Unite city schools under Saddleback USD banner Why do residents continue to believe that the Capistrano Unified School District has any intention of treating the city of Mission Viejo with any level of representation or respect? In my humble opinion, regardless of the outcome of the upcoming recall election, the city will not have an advocate who will fight for what we need in Mission Viejo. It is time to leave the Capo district and join the Saddleback district. Whatever the costs or the time required, the end result will be better than what we have received at CUSD. This is an issue that impacts our property values and, ultimately, the quality of life in our city during the next 25 years. Let’s get the leaders of our city to gather the required information and generate interest in moving this forward. Ron Frantz *** City’s sign shenanigans continue I couldn't help but notice that many illegal signs for the Kaleidoscope appear to have been "removal resistant" despite resident complaints. During the last campaign season, hundreds of signs were removed by a city-contracted individual, often within an hour of being posted by campaign volunteers. The individual was paid per sign, so he had plenty of incentive to clear as many as possible. Certain incumbents' signs were left standing in place while challengers' signs were taken. One result was a tremendous waste of resources; the other was a distinct advantage for the candidates who could afford to run a direct mail campaign. Lisa De Paul-Snyder |
