CM PRESS # 191


DAILY PILOT AND SLOW SPEEDERS (HOW ABOUT SLOW THINKERS?)

"ENFORCEMENT IS THE TICKET TO SLOW SPEEDERS," today's Daily Pilot.

Slow speeders? Sort of like giant shrimp? "Do you know why I pulled you over?" asks the traffic cop. "No idea," says the driver. "You were slow speeding," replies the cop.

LINDA DIXON TAKES A POSITION TO NOT TAKE A POSITION (Again)

Linda Dixon just wants to be loved. Maybe that's why she constantly talks out of both sides of her mouth. She's on every side of every issue. Doesn't seem to know her own mind. Must be a drag when ordering at a restaurant.

According to the Daily Pilot today, Dixon now wants to put the hotel bed tax and the sale of fireworks on the February ballot.

On the fireworks issue, Dixon told the Pilot: "I'm neither for nor against it."

Well, Ms. Dixon what's your position on slow speeding? Hmmmm?

GOOD LOCATION FOR A NEW NEWPORT BEACH CITY HALL

Merge Costa Mesa and Newport Beach and call the result Newport Beach since that brand name is to cities what Rolls Royce is to cars. Costa Mesa? Think broken down Hyundai. Then have the present Costa Mesa City Hall be the new Newport Beach City Hall.

COMMUNICATION PROBLEM?

The other day we sent an email to the CMPD asking how we can get accurate figures on ICE holds, since our counts from the logs in the front lobby sometimes differ from what we see reported elsewhere.

So far, we haven't received an answer. Probably busy ticketing slow speeders.
