Thank you Joe Guzzardi, for waking me up with your strong statement
about how developers work. We are being bombarded, from Washington to
our town, by politicians, developers and others who use doublespeak to
manipulate the truth and mislead us on issues big and small to further
their agenda at the expense of the greater good. No wonder ordinary
folks feel it is a waste of time to get involved. We feel the cards are
stacked against us from the beginning. It is hard to get information
that can be trusted, and the name of the game seems to be "Confuse the
People and the Issues." A local case in point is the shenanigans
surrounding the eastern Goleta Valley Visioning Process. The committe
members refused to submit to heavy pressure from the county to select
high density housing sites immediately after forming. The county had
originally advertised that this committee was to envision a
well-planned future for our area, with meetings extending for over one
year.Listen
closely to the candidates for 2nd District supervisor. Take note of
their past actions and inactions and you will see that Joe Guzzardi is
the only candidate who has a 16-year track record of looking at
planned, limited growth while taking into account the constraints of
water, traffic, air quality, health and safety, and the quality of life
of our county.Vote for Joe Guzzardi for 2nd District Supervisor and preserve our beautiful region.
