Politics as Usual

Politics as Usual
Letter to the Editor

I just looked at the political financial filings – 460 forms – in depth.

Interesting to note, with EMF (a Class-B carcinogen) from the Viejo System Project radiating Flo Jo Park, Councilwoman Trish Kelley has received sizable donations from Southern California Edison. This just reinforces the fact that Kelley is about herself – and NOT our children.

Kelley obviously ignored the Sage Report (warning about the dangers from the power lines that run through our parks). The city paid big bucks for and also ignored the warnings on EMF in the BioInitiative Report http://www.bioinitiative.org/report/index.htm 

Ignoring the warnings while promoting the Relay for Life – fighting cancer – is what you call first-class hypocrisy!

I also saw the candidates’ submissions of their nomination papers with a listing of who signed them. It is worthwhile noting that Dave Leckness has three individuals who were CONVICTED OF VIOLATING The Brown Act: former council members Sherri Butterfield, Susan Withrow and Bill Craycraft. As a local activist stated, “Yes, Dave is the CONVICTS’ choice.”
