Del Mar Un-Fairgrounds
I loved the Del Mar Un-Fairground story, and except for the self serving last paragraph by the fair spokesperson, it is all true. What I wish you had included was the fact that we have done the analysis of how the train stop at the rear of the west parking lot, north of the San Dieguito River can be funded at no cost to the tax payers. Tim Fennell, and fair board members like Barry Nussbaum have been saying they "are in favor of the train stop" for years. Yet they will not meet with us, and they belittle our efforts. Instead they place priority on building hotels on the fair grounds using the sub prime types of gimic financing that has gotten us into the worldwide fianancial mess we are in, bulding health spa on the fair ground, etc. etc. They place priority on having big concerts that draw big heavy drinking crowds, which of course makes them big money. They propose huge rases for the CEO while capital projects that have debatable benefits in the first place baloon up in cost from $4+ million to over $15 million. Who is minding the store down there? If this were a private property none of us would say anything...but it isn't. It is a State property the 22nd District AGRICULTURAL Association... where is the Agriculture (although some have suggested to me that the availability of marajuana at the concerts there might be considered a ag. crop - it wasn't until last summer when things were totally out of hand that they even put up a sign saying no pot smoking!!!) As a life long Republican I truly resent goverment officials not living up to what seems obvious facuciary responsiblities and putting out pablum excuses for poor preformance. And I hope the Governor, who I strongly support will agree with me. We had enough of that for the past 8 years in washington D.C. . Hopefully your article will shine some light on fairground activities. If people look, and inquire, then what needs to be done will get done and the public will not be bought off by lame half truths and excuses. Good Job Reader. Thanks to efforts like yours The Truth will Triumph Richard Eckfield.— March 17, 2009 8:50 a.m.
