I am amazed and frustrated by the city’s lack of cooperation with reporting the information to MV citizens (Re: Cover-Up At City Hall). It is a step back to former City Councils when I first moved to MV in 1994. The government secrecy and lack of communicating with it’s citizens appears to be a [...]

Letter: Cover-up Is Distressing
Posted in Electrical Powerlines, Letters to Editor, Open Government on December 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This whole deal (Re: Cover-Up At City Hall) smacks of a big cover-up by certain city staffers, and some, if not all of the City Council members. We should determine which specific city council members and which city staff members, by name, knew and caused or allowed this whole debacle to proceed without informing [...]
Letter: Cover-up Ignored Residents’ Health
Posted in Electrical Powerlines, Letters to Editor, Open Government on December 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It seems to me our Mission Viejo City Council decided well over a year ago to protect Southern California Edison above their own citizens’ health and welfare (Re: Cover-Up At City Hall).
Our council used taxpayer money to hire Sage and Associates from Santa Barbara to take EMF readings at the urging of myself [...]
Cover-Up At City Hall: Council Hiding Public Safety Report
Posted in Electrical Powerlines, Open Government on December 27, 2007 | 8 Comments »
For several months the City Council has been hiding a consultant’s public safety report. The report could hold findings on electromagnetic frequency radiation (EMF) arguably harmful to the health of some local residents.
Prior to hiring the consultant, the City learned that overhead electrical lines installed in North Mission Viejo were emitting higher-than-expected EMF radiation. Southern California Edison stated these EMF [...]

Anatomy of Agenda Secret: Public Blocked From New Slogan & Logo
Posted in Council Votes, Open Government, Re-Branding & Mixed Use on December 17, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Residents are asking why public discussion was non-existent when the City Council (4-1) quickly adopted a new slogan and logo on behalf of the community. The slogan, “Making Living Your Mission,” is supposed to capture the essence of the city; the logo, a tree trunk with scrollwork replacing foliage, is supposed to symbolize and differentiate Mission [...]
Letter: Food & Blood Banks Need Holiday Cheer
Posted in Charity, Letters to Editor on December 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Most of what we hear about holiday charity in the media is about toy collections. Support all the toy collections you can, but these same kids have to eat, of course, and food banks continue to be under stocked due to higher prices for food from the farm and fuel for delivery. Many remain 40 percent [...]
