The
Fish Rots From The Head Down
Deputy
Mayor Jerry Finnell and Council Member Crystal Crawford while doing quite the
hatchet job going after Del Mar resident Bernard Schroeder first referring to
him as a “self appointed watchdog to ferret out waste and abuse in local
government” [sic] reprimanding him for not “taking the time to
participate in, or even to observe, the publicly noticed hearings and workshops
conducted to obtain the public’s agreement regarding expenditures for
services, blah blah” [sic] failed, however, to
mention that there was another resident who participated in the July 19th
workshop, yours truly, a “risk assessment” specialist asking the
very simple question of whether the consultant hired by the Del Mar City
Council who apparently supported a tax increase to pay for BS services such as
over priced consultant fees had in fact conducted a “risk
assessment” to determine what impact the new real estate tax might have
on a possible real estate market collapse.
So
revealing of the ineptness of this City Council was the fact the mayor at the
time, Mr. Richard Earnest, encouraged by another rather tired looking council
member not to respond to my question, ended up answering ever so arrogantly
“No!” without even taking a deep breath to question more precisely
what I meant by “risk assessment”, does the expression, Fools Faces,
Fools Names, in Public places ring a bell?
Risk
assessment is my business.
