CM PRESS # 88

HAS THE THREE PERSON MAJORITY ON THE CITY COUNCIL LOST ITS FOCUS?

Dear Mayor Mansoor, Mayor Pro Tem Bever and Councilmember Leece:

Are you doing everything you can to make Costa Mesa as nice as other coastal communities, or have you lost your focus?

Are you getting distracted by minor things?

Have your elected positions gone to your heads?

Are you listening too much to your new best friends in the GOP who wouldn't give you the time of day before you were elected, but who are now instant experts on what you should do in our city?

Are you trying to be non-controversial and not rock the boat?

Has inertia started setting in so that you no longer have the fire you had when you were outsiders?

Are you relying too much on staff to do your thinking for you?

Are you just showing up at city meetings and rubber stamping whatever is put before you?

Are you listening too much to the whining of your political enemies and trying to avoid their criticism?

Have you lost your way?

Do you no longer see what needs to be done to get Costa Mesa back on track?

Have you forgotten that the improvers have a goal of making Costa Mesa as nice as our coastal neighbors? And have you forgotten that this means more than just fixing potholes?

Have you started focusing on higher political offices and no longer want to risk your political careers by actually doing the difficult things that have to be done to improve Costa Mesa?

Have you turned your backs on improvement activists in your appointments to some city commissions and appointed political hacks who know nothing about our city or improvement?

The CM PRESS certainly hopes the above don't apply to you three, but some in the improvement community are asking questions similar to the above.
