Gee Scott, how can anyone oppose this kind of Requiem for our engaged and fallen brethren.
I cannot do so. I can point out that you yourself are not one of those people. I can also point out that you are the elected representative of those who have served, and of those parents who have lost loved ones in service to our country.
I would ask you to do the same thing for your represented citizens of this district: stop the completely ridiculous pretention that the new Water District is just the same old thing.
It is not, the same old thing. And you are the person who wears that hat where it comes to the world of Santa Clarita and it’s water.
You should wear that hat proudly, and explain to your constituents just how the new Water World will improve their lives. And then stand up and continue to explain how that works when they realize that you and the local power brokers have spavined the system in order to make CLWA our new Lords of Water.
Scott, really – is this exactly what we need?
How about roads, mass transit, finally solving homelessness?
Geesh, another token political ploy.
Very appropriate ?
Let’s get real and truthful, Scott. Bush’s invasion of Iraq, an unarmed country that was not a threat to us and had absolutely nothing to do with the horrific events of 9/11/2001, was and is a war crime of the highest magnitude. We hanged Nazis for much less following WW2.
Now you want monuments to memorialize those who contributed to the slaughter of a million innocents. Shame on you. Shame on us all for allowing it to happen.
