See it for free at the Dove Library on the 21st to discover the video's actual value.

To most of our current council, "stakeholders" don't seem to include the actual residents of Carlsbad. The businesses and developers, yes, clearly, but not the actual voters. Laws and policies are supposed to protect business (because business is supposed to benefit the RESIDENTS), and the council is supposed to protect the PEOPLE by making intelligent laws and policies that apply uniformly to all businesses and enhance our quality of life. Seems to me our officials have forgotten this, and forgotten that they serve because we chose them. We can un-choose them in 2018; the ultimate power is the ballot box.Laura Drelleshakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521171084345821788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719582227080080207.post-40099993421336446782017-08-13T08:11:24.610-07:002017-08-13T08:11:24.610-07:00Mayor Mall is the best mayor money can buy...and h...Mayor Mall is the best mayor money can buy...and he makes it clear from whom he wants donations by only inviting those whom he intends to serve (HINT: It's not us, the citizens of Carlsbad (unless you own a hotel or want to build something really big). The slick videos shown on local cable are a joke...still showing ones with EX-Councilmember Wood. How about something more current? Not likely since they want to pretend Cori doesn't exist. Hall is just as embarrassing as Trump, but fortunately not as dangerous. Good thing Carlsbad has no nuclear weapons. Just nuclear stupidity at City Hall.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027247824457337520noreply@blogger.com
