Nope, it's not.  The recipe has changed.

 COMING SOON....WE HOPE

We recently wrote Councilmember Wendy Leece and asked her to define what she means when she says "I'll continue to do what's best for Costa Mesa."  

We also gave her a quick synopsis of the plan that the Improvers have been using to try to improve the city.  

Wendy then replied that there is more than one way to skin a cat.  We took that to mean that she must have a plan of her own. 

So, we then asked her if she had such a plan or whether, as some have suggested, she is just winging it and treating each vote she makes or thing she does as a Councilperson as though these exist in a vacuum and are unconnected to any plan or bigger picture to make Costa Mesa nicer?

Wendy replied that she was busy with work right now, but that she'd try to get back to us soon.

We were very early supporters of Wendy and we want to give her a fair shake, so we hope that she really will take the time to give us an answer.

We'd like to think that our Councilmembers all have some plan or vision that they're working on to make Costa Mesa a nicer city, and if it's different from what the Improvers have been working on, we'd sure like to know what it is.  Maybe it's a better one.  But we can't know unless we see what it is.

IN-N-OUT OPENS FRIDAY--KNOW NOTHINGS PROVEN WRONG AGAIN
Link
----------------------
UPDATE: Below in blue is an anti-white racist comment that is now appearing in the DAILY PILOT (as of 10:27 12/16) after the above linked article.

Maybe someone at the PILOT will realize that this is a hate comment and that "gringos" is an equivalent hate term to "beaners," "niggers," "gooks," 'kikes,"etc.

"cartwright at 9:05 PM December 15, 2010
great, more fat gringos stuffing their fat faces"
-----------------------
Remember about a year ago when Jim Righeimer and some other Planning Commissioners put conditions on their approval for the In-N-Out on Harbor that is opening this Friday?

The Planning Commissioners wouldn't approve a sign that was too tall and they wanted a nice looking fence and they also wanted In-N-Out to work with Caltrans to ensure that the area adjacent to the restaurant looked nice.

The usual gadfly know nothings, acting the part of Chicken Little,as they so often do, then quickly commented on their blogs and in the Daily Pilot that In-N-Out would now go elsewhere and Costa Mesa would lose a good business.  "The sky is falling, cluck, cluck, cluck, the sky is falling, cluck, cluck."

We knew the gadfly know nothings were wrong and we wrote about it and we said that In-N-Out would, in fact, open at that location.  We were right. 

What surprises us is that anyone even bothers to read what some of these gadfly know nothings write.  They really are usually wrong.

Most of them were wrong about the just past election and all the previous ones going back to 2000. They're now wrong in many of their comments about the Fairgrounds sale.

One of them was even whining recently that Righeimer tried to limit his First Amendment rights.  Of course, that's just stupid, and we pointed out that the First Amendment applies to citizens and government, not citizens and citizens. Only the government can try to limit such rights, and the First Amendment is what stops them from doing so.

Frankly, if you want to understand about Costa Mesa, you'd do better to read scrawls on the wall someplace than what some of these low I.Q. gadfly know nothings write.

Those are our opinions.  You know they're usually right. Thanks for reading them.
