CM PRESS # 628

CHRIS CHRISTIE MAY RUN FOR PRESIDENT

The fast thinking, plain spoken Christie connects with average voters in ways that the other GOP candidates can only dream about.

But you can never tell what candidates are really made of until they enter presidential political combat.

ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIANS MAY HAVE BEEN THE FIRST LARGE GROUP OF MODERN HUMANS TO SPLIT OFF FROM THE REST OF HUMANITY

White Europeans were the most recent large group to split off, but that's not part of the above article.

PERRY CHEAPENS CITIZENSHIP AND DISCRIMINATES AGAINST CITIZENS OF THE U.S.

It is obscene that illegal aliens can get a tuition break in Texas colleges while U.S. citizens from states other than Texas can't.

AGENDA FOR NEXT WEDNESDAY'S PARKS AND RECREATION MEETING

As usual, there's a tree removal request on the agenda. Two trees near one residence are involved. Also, as usual, staff is recommending that the trees not be removed.  Ho hum.

In its report, staff completely ignores the problems caused to the humans who must use the sidewalks being uplifted by the tree roots and the danger posed by the trees falling (these are Eucalyptus trees much like the one that killed a girl on Irvine Blvd.), and instead focuses on the health of the trees.

Since the trees are healthy, they get to remain.

The CM PRESS got this same trees first, humans second response when we tried to get the tree hugging staff to remove a Carrotwood tree in Mesa North. 

In our case, we didn't even bother going to the rubber stamping Parks and Recreation Commission with our request.  Most of the commissioners are party suits who aren't even known to most improvement minded people in Costa Mesa, and they just mostly do what staff asks them to do.
