Are Too Many Chula Vista Elementary School Board Members Handpicked?
Wow, four out of five trustees have been appointed. "Handpicked" sounds like the right word. I also read an editorial in La Prensa San Diego that seemed to imply that Russell Coronado could have resigned a lot earlier but prolonged it so that it would be easier to just appoint. It would be difficult to find out if that is true but it does taint the so-called "reformer."— March 28, 2012 12:03 p.m.
Is Chula Vista's Bayfront Plan In the Bag?
Susan, I'm not sure exactly what the Commissioners will have but I'm sure it is a ton of paper. Good point about what the city / port want and why they would want to stick to the Gaylord plan. If they are hoping that Gaylord returns, it's like constructing building for a tenant that may or may not lease it. Doesn't make sense to me. And, as far as someone "like Gaylord" coming in, well, there is no one like Gaylord. They have a very unique business model.— March 9, 2012 4:05 p.m.
Is Chula Vista's Bayfront Plan In the Bag?
I would like to see where this 40% of space reserved for the public to use is located. Seriously, please show me. Are they counting all of the roads and sidewalks? You definitely cannot count the area worked out in the deal with EHC. That is not "public" in the sense that you can have a birthday party, festival, or community concert there. That is a buffer for the wildlife refuge. To say that that area is "public" is the same as saying that the grounds of City Hall are public. True, the public may walk through and admire things but may not do anything else. The original community plan called for a signature or landmark park which was gutted to please Gaylord. Now, Gaylord is gone and there is no reason to not put the park back in its rightful place.— March 8, 2012 10:27 p.m.
