Money use by new mayor unsound

‘Those that govern do so with the consent of the governed.” Does

that sound familiar? If so, what justification does the City Council

have to enter into litigation without the consent of the people of

Huntington Beach?

Our new mayor, Connie Boardman, a radical enthusiast to provide

land and swamp for the birds over the building of homes for the

people, is using our money unwisely.

First, sue Rosalyn Lever, registrar of voters, and Scott Baugh in

Orange County Superior Court, presumably to negate the FAIR

Districting Initiative that 23,000 Huntington Beach voters signed to

be placed on ballot. The only plausible reason the City Council could

have to take this action is their knowledge that if the FAIR

initiative is placed on ballot it will pass, just as the

anti-Wal-Mart Measure I that Boardman viciously supported was

defeated by the majority. This is absolute proof that Boardman does

not speak for the majority and is ignoring her duties as a

representative of the people for her own personal desires.

Secondly, our new mayor wants to send a letter to Bob Hight, the

director of the state Department of Fish and Game, urging him to

“direct the Wildlife Conservation Board to move forward in the

negotiations with the landowners of the Bolsa Chica Mesa so it may be

acquired for the public good.” This is the first time I have heard

that the birds (non-taxpayers) are part of the public.

This lady is running amok to pursue her personal goals and, should

she continue, should be removed from office. Democracy appears to be

decaying in our nation, but in Huntington Beach it seems to have

vanished.
