CM PRESS # 57


CALLING JOE N. BELL AND STEVE SMITH OF THE DAILY PILOT

Joe N. Bell, who lives in Newport Beach, wrote in his Daily Pilot column that he's not happy that Costa Mesa (where he doesn't live and can't vote) has closed down its job center. Of course, Bell didn't offer to push to have a job center opened in Newport Beach.

Steve Smith has written, in his column, that he has ideas to improve the schools. But, of course, he didn't tell us those ideas.

So...

The CM PRESS has offered to help Mr. Bell open a job center in his own Newport Beach neighborhood and we've asked Smith to tell us his ideas about improving the schools.

So far, neither Bell nor Smith have responded.

Could it be that Bell doesn't want a job center near where he lives and that Smith really has no good ideas about improving the schools?

Could it be that these guys are just used to writing nonsense in the Pilot and are not used to being challenged on what they've written?

Could it be that these two haven't yet realized that blogs make it easy for ordinary citizens to question them and comment on what they've written even when the Pilot won't publish such comments and questions from citizens?

Come on Bell, how about a job center near where you live?

Come on Smith, how about telling us your bright ideas about the schools?
