Ed's gone, but this Sweetwater shenanigan isn't
Perhaps you might ask that question to the Board tonight at Sweetwater High - 6:00— November 20, 2014 4:25 p.m.
Ed's gone, but this Sweetwater shenanigan isn't
I am reminded of the hope so many of us had a few MONTHS back when the 'temps' took their seats at the dais. FINALLY, AT LAST we had a Board that would listen to us, consider what we had to say and stop the madness. Well,,,,,,, that hope was dashed meeting 1 - we begged, we pleaded not to fund anything to do with the new District office - but alas, the insanity continued and the new District office was approved. Since then we have continued to be ignored and the money has continued to be spent - the question is why? Why did the County folk care so little? Our representative Ms. Neylon has missed meetings, yet paid - question is why did she agree to sit on our Board? We down here have long memories and we have many friends and family throughout this City and County - we will not forget how horrible it has been to have been betrayed by 2 Supers ( the gandara and Brand) and two Boards - the only Board member who stood with the antagonists was Lopez. Sad legacy to leave behind to folks that had such high hopes.— November 20, 2014 3:12 p.m.

SJTorres - While Mr. Segura is not my area representative I am having difficulty believing he would have made this part of his platform while campaigning. Those community members who pay Mello Roos taxes agreed to do so with a specific intent in mind - their communities. It is their money, to be used for their specific needs and west side folks should have no claim to it. Besides, the majority of the old Board AND the new temporary Board have been continuing to borrow from the Mello pot - very few of the Mello taxpayers have stood before them and complained. Where are all of the Eastlake folks? Perhaps our community would be better served if we allowed the new Board members to sit at the dais and vote on a few items before 'problems' are forecast. **** several agenda items tonight identifying expenditures of Mello funds will be voted on— November 20, 2014 6:32 a.m.

Again I ask - WHY ARENT WE WAITING FOR OUR NEWLY ELECTED BOARD? I, for one, want to see our new Board open up this can of worms in PUBLIC for all to see and hear. Gone hopefully are the days when taxpayers dollars are spent behind the cloak of 'Closed Session'. We want this whole Property deal made public - no secrets. That is what the candidates promised and that is what we are looking to them to honor, their word. Bad Marriage - ah, no, I would liken it to a tawdry affair. The legally committed parties are the taxpayers and the District - Mr. Lichtman, well he was brought into our partnership with the District by none other than Ed Brand to satisfy some 'need' Brand had. Ed Brand filled out 700 forms two years in a row in which he indicated Sweetwater Union High School District Property Management. When these were questioned by the antagonists all of a sudden 'it was an error'. Now, doesn't it make you just wonder?— November 19, 2014 9:53 p.m.

eastlaker - much respect sent your way. We are grown, supposedly intelligent, adults - the only problem is the average person spends nanoseconds on educating themselves on the issues that affect their children, their taxes, their home values. They sit back with an attitude of 'someone else will do it'. THAT IS WHY JOHN MCCANN IS HEADED FOR CITY HALL -— November 18, 2014 2:20 p.m.

Visduh - yes we do have a problem with knowing the issues. Let me rephrase that and better define the problem - the majority of us DO NOT HAVE A CLUE WHAT THE ISSUES ARE. Why is that? - now that is the 64,000.00 DOLLAR question. When parents fail to actively involve themselves in the education of their children. How could we possibly expect them to know the actions of the 'politicos' at City Hall. ********PLEASE NOTE. SIMPLY ENROLLING YOUR CHILDREN DOES NOT COUNT AS BEING ACTIVELY INVOLVED.— November 18, 2014 7:23 a.m.

Mary Salas states " the project spoke to new urbanism " I am sorry is there a new chapter in Politics 101 entitled 'HOW TO SWAY THE PUBLIC INTO THINKING YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WITH NONSENSICAL NEW buzz WORDS.'— November 12, 2014 5:06 a.m.

Ms. Luzzaro - John McCann will vote depending on how the wind is blowing that day. No doubt he will give a speech which will begin with 'when I was in Iraq' or 'after my near death traffic accident' - but hey all of you in C.V. who only vote the party line (God forbid you should do your own research on all that he HASN'T DONE for our students or our educational tax dollars) I wish you strength, cause you are going to need it with McCann sitting at the dais. **** be sure you give me the 411 the first time one of you gets a cease and desist letter because you hurt his feelings.— November 11, 2014 10:30 a.m.

" the project is about workforce housing and connectivity" - is that code for 'the project is about money'? Hey folks, you know that white cardboard little enclosure called a voting box - 'isn't it time you start paying attention and vote the politicians who are in it for self OUT! All of that money spent for an east side home - doubt if this vision was part of all of your visions.— November 11, 2014 10:20 a.m.
