MacLean Sold Out Mission Viejo I know by now that you have heard about the recall of Councilman Lance MacLean. Those who are acquainted with Mission Viejo city politics need no further explanation. Those who have not had reason to get informed or involved in Mission Viejo politics may be wondering what to make of this unfolding melodrama. I'm going to sum it up in short: a grassroots group of Mission Viejo citizens came together in order to exercise their democratic rights and try to remove a bad man from office. And they upset a lot of people in high places. Lance MacLean is a self-serving human being who voted to double his council salary and award himself lifetime medical benefits through the City. Lance MacLean has a history of volatile behavior and was dismissed from UC Irvine for assaulting a co-worker. His behavior is explosive and unpredictable: he once accosted a female opponent who was campaigning against him for city council. After Lance MacLean won his city council seat, he lost all need for the "common citizen,” as he was basking in the security of his corporate money-backers. MacLean has consistently betrayed the public trust by voting against citizens, in favor of telecommunication giants, Edison and large-scale developers. And he has done so with a satisfied smirk on his face. Opponents of the Recall say that the special election costs taxpayers $250,000. What they don't say, is that keeping Lance MacLean in office could cost taxpayers over $800,000 in medical benefits for three councilmembers (MacLean, Ury and Kelley). I hope you will join me in supporting the grassroots efforts of local Mission Viejo residents by voting "YES" to Recall Lance MacLean on February 2, 2010. I am endorsing Dale Tyler as his replacement www.Dale4MV.com. Dale Tyler has pledged to:
Please look beyond party lines and go for a "We, the People" candidate who is devoted to protecting the quality of life in Mission Viejo. |
