David Smyle commented on Russell Buckley's blog post 'Impressive Growth In One Sector of Our Economy'

"Russell Buckley for Mayor! I'm on board. Addressing these problems seem a little more important than special event permits and Fair Trade."

David Smyle commented on Scott H. Kidwell's blog post 'Sterling, Arapostathis & Ewin vote to keep La Mesa a "Free Trade" Town.'

"Thank you Ruth, Ernie and Mark for keeping La Mesa from becoming another liberal NOCAL city. With the Mayors recent support of the Pet Shop Ordinance restricting the rights of business and now the Mayor and Mr. Allans support of "Fair…"

Smyle: Local Leaders and Elected Officials A No Show on the Helix Water Increase

Only a week away from the "Town Hall" public meeting on July 21st from 6-7:30 at the community center about the proposed Helix Water rate increase and our current elected officials and candidates for the upcoming City Council elections are mysteriously silent about the issue. One would expect our City Council to take a position on the matter like Lemon Grove does and either support or oppose the increase publicly since they are the second or third largest water user in the District but don't…See More

"Mr. Smyle, You are right on target again when you indicate that the only way to solve the problem that 4 of the 5 HWD Board of Directors are not understanding that the Owners of the District (Us the Rate Payers) “we are not satisfied…"

Smyle: STOP THE HELIX WATER INCREASE!

Water Increase Notice and instructions to protestI know it is a hopeless effort because the rules state 50% of the rate payers have to send in a written protest in order for the increase not to happen but here is our chance to make a statement anyway. The Helix Water Board with the exception of Kathleen Hedberg, the peoples…See More

"Dave, You are right on target again, your observation regarding OUR Helix Water District and its total lack of transparency and respect to us Rate Payers (the owners of the District) by not being willing to hold the Districts meeting at times…"

Smyle: Helix Water Public Hearing Not So Public

Once again, our elected Helix Water Board has chosen to try and limit the amount of public input into the Board approved rate increase. On WEDNESDAY, August 17th at 2:00 pm when most of the ratepayers are working and those who aren't are at home taking care of the family since there is no school, the HWD is holding the required Public Hearing on the Board approved water rate increase. Thanks DeAna Verbeke for once again as head of the Board for failing to consider the schedules of the working…See More

"When I speak of tiers, we are talking about 2.5% at 55 years old, not premiums. There is no reason the rate payers should start paying retirement benefits are age 55 versus 60 or 65 like most other employers which again would not affect you…"

Bill Slater commented on David Smyle's blog post 'Taxation Without Representation is Alive and Well'

"So let me get this straight, Buckley sees the unfairness and excessiveness of the same pension system he gets a check from and wants to change it but will happily continue to accept his money from the system?? I guess he feels he deserves that…"

David Smyle commented on David Smyle's blog post 'Taxation Without Representation is Alive and Well'

"Yes Mr. Buckley is the same and he see the unfairness and excessiveness of the current system so is fighting to make things right and help the public agencies survive by touting the pension reform that is needed. He actually cares about the…"

"Well I can see you are using Mcmillan math now in your commentary which is wrong. The labor is not 40% of the rate. Mcmillan has a habit of crunching numbers incorrectly just ask Padre Dam. The number is 27%. It is useless to fight over numbers…"

Janet Mercer-Grey commented on David Smyle's blog post 'Taxation Without Representation is Alive and Well'

"As the non-producing public service segment of the work force continues to grow from the demand of the "my rights include ........" minded, our posterity will be left holding the bag and wondering what we were thinking with such folly."

Great op ed piece by Wayne Root:

How did America become broke and insolvent? How did we build up an unimaginable $115 trillion in debt and unfunded liabilities? How did we allow the American Dream to become a nightmare?

All we need do is look at the primary demand the Eurozone and…
