Readers Respond -- Garofalo’s words come back to the readers

With great sadness I read this article [“It’s not easy being the mayor of

Huntington Beach,” June 8]. [Garofalo] has placed himself as King of

Huntington Beach, and now I feel that I am a member of his kingdom, “Serf

City.”

Yes, he has brought a lot of controversial items to this city, and he has

stood up for what he believes in. Yes, he voted to bring in the world’s

largest retailer. Yes, he voted to bring in Coke and Chevrolet. Yes, he

worked to have the Bolsa Chica purchased and brought two new restaurants

to town.

And if any of his “serfs” tend to disagree or stand up for what they

believe in, they are labeled as vociferous, violent, sarcastic and

mean-spirited. In reading this piece, I determined it’s Dave’s way or the

highway.

The King needs to reevaluate his figure of 26,000 [supporters]. Quite a

few of his serfs are not so loyal anymore. One lesson in life that our

King needs to learn is that if you have lived a good, clean, honest life,

it is really very easy to be who you are!

Looking forward to receiving my “Serf City” credit card in the mail, as

this will certainly label me as a “serf” in his “Serf City” kingdom.
