David Smyle commented on La Mesa Citizen Oversight Group's blog post 'April 9 La Mesa City Council Meeting is cancelled. Was it the right thing to do?'
"Has a meeting ever been cancelled in the past due to no agenda items?  If so when?  Wonder if it only happens on opening day?"

"To Bill's point, with no agenda, this would have been a perfect time for a open forum or town hall meeting.  I would love to know how that new $50,000 mower is working out!"

"Who cancelled the meeting?  Art?  Dave Witt?  We have heard from 2 of the 5.  I am sure Ruth did not attend the Padre Game and Mark was probably at school so Art, what say you?"

"My understanding is Cox Cable invites all the Mayors to Opening Day.  Maybe we should find out who attended?  Investigate this Chris Lavin.  Find out if any of the Council attended the game. Also, if there was nothing to discuss,…"

Fair Trade Go Away, Don't Come Back Another Day

The Fair Trade folks Nancy Ryan and Anne Pacheco are at it again trying to lobby the City Council to have the city of La Mesa labeled as a "Fair Trade" city after getting shot down once. Why don't you people just concentrate your efforts on getting more stores to carry fair trades products and leave the City out of this.  Your doctrine on your website and all your literature might indicate your cause is one of a religious zealot and maybe you are.  Stop trying to convert the world by labeling…See More

HWD Board puts screws to rate payers again

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 10:30pm 3 Comments

One week after HWD General Manager Carlos Lugo stood before the La Mesa City Council professing how the HWD has done all things right about reducing costs in an attempt to keep water rates from increasing even further, the back room deals are back.

 The HWD Board, General Manager and Employees have conspired to bypass the regular process of re-negotiating the MOU which wasn’t up until 2013   In exchange, the rate payers get to watch the payroll costs continue to balloon out of…

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?

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

Posted on July 14, 2011 at 10:00pm 0 Comments

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…

Short sales routinely show up in credit reports as foreclosures
Source: Los Angeles Times

Large numbers of homeowners who have negotiated short sales are at risk because of a startling omission in the credit system. Their credit reports and scores indicate that they were foreclosed upon, rather than having negotiated a mutually agreeable resolution with their lender, and the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are investigating why and how this happened.
