What Do You Want To Know About Corruption At City Hall ?

Submitted by Ed Kravitz on Wed, 2008-08-20 13:20.

When the local newspapers are in cahoots with entrenched corrupt incumbent politicians, free speech doesn't exist. <SaveIB.com> provides a forum for discussion of local topics, despite the wishes of the incumbents that we shut up, go away.....or nobody finds out about it.

8.5 Shut Up ! Council Moves To Restrict Public Comments & Free Speech Wednesday Night!

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2008-08-19 08:19.

Dear SaveIB.com:

Sometimes I'm not sure if your joking or telling the truth. In a recent story called "Shut Up" I thought maybe you were writing some fiction, however after reading the Eagle & Times story...it appears that the Mayor, City Council and the City Attorney are in fact trying to limit or eliminate public comments (if they don't like them) Who cares if the council approves of what speakers say? This is still a free country and any attempts to limit or gag the public from having fair input is an afront to our constitutional rights of free speech. Anyone on the council who supports limiting free speech or public comments should be re-called....and the City Attorney should be fired.....like yesterday!

There's a lot more truth to what you write on your website than people give you credit for. Thanks for trying to educate and entertain the public. Hope it gets some results, because the current state of City Council is unacceptable!

Council Supports School Bond "X" -Without Discussion

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2008-08-19 07:00.

The City's official support will be given to the school district without discussion on the CONSENT AGENDA. Proposition "X" will give over $50 million dollars to one of the worst school districts in the State Of California. These people are incompetent to teach your children, much less manage the taxpayer's money. Councilman Fred McLean's wife sits on the School Board and has a stake in the bond measure being passed by the voters! She has also been a campaign treasurer for Patricia McCoy and Mayda Winter in the past.

Is it a conflict of interest for Fred McLean to vote on the consent agenda this week?

Hired gun professionals will rake in big commissions after influencing bond election process.

Why will the City Council vote without discussion on the CONSENT AGENDA , to support this ballot measure? Does Fred McLean's wife as a school board member mean that he has a conflict voting on this item? Do Mayda and Patricia have a conflict voting on the letter for SWIA's Grant Application. Maybe the reason it's on the consent agenda is because nobody will even know they voted on it if they don't discuss it publicly!

Dear SaveIB.com: New Letters

Dear Editor,

Hearing that Councilperson Winter has chosen not to run for office is some of the best news I have heard in a long time. I read an article in the U.T. where Ms. Winter said, it was a hard decision to leave politics. She went on saying that her new project at SWIA was going to take up more of her time and she would no longer be able to do both jobs. Too bad she would not admit that you finally got to her.

Dear SaveIB.com: I think you have the wrong King on your web site....

Who Is Jim King? Why Is He Running For City Council? Is He ONE OF THEM" ?

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 2008-08-17 15:05.

Here's a little informative Google Search on Jim King that might answer all of those questions.

Informative visits to the critical sites in the watershed include unique riparian and marshland habitats, fertile river banks for agriculture, sand-extraction mines, dams, reservoirs, border crossings, aqueducts, and new developments.

Interviews and speeches with actual scientific advisors, politicans, activists, and neighbors are featured throughout the video, including the Mayor of Tecate, Juan Vargas; City Councilwoman of Imperial Beach, Patricia McCoy; project manager of the California Coastal Conservancy, Jim King; Coordinator of the Coastal Training Program, Oscar Romo; and members of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the City of Tijuana, and more.
