Escondido Council Approves Ballpark -- with Reservations
Pro sports owners are crooks huh? When was the last time a sports owner went to jail. Oh wait - the only explanation for that is the DAs and judges are crooks too. Oh no - we're surrounded by . . . CROOKS!! Hurry. Run away before it's too late. Maybe we can escape to a safe place like Mexico where they don't have sports owners who are crooks ;-) OMG LOL— December 18, 2010 8:11 p.m.
Escondido Council Approves Ballpark -- with Reservations
Here's a link to an accurate account of the meeting, which had over 50 speakers of whom only 14 were opposed to the project: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/dec/15/es… The NC Times reporter incorrectly wrote that a slight majority of speakers favored the ballpark, when in truth over 70% of those who spoke were in favor. The bottom line is that a sizable majority of Escondido citizens believe having a Triple A ballpark will be good for the City. It will be, just as Petco is good for San Diego. If you don't like sports you don't have to attend. Or watch. Or listen. :-)— December 16, 2010 10:32 p.m.
Escondido City Councilmembers Excoriated as Ballpark Idea Entertained
Mr. Sims fails to identify any redevelopment projects which are comparable or better than the Moorad Ballpark venture. If the ballpark project is feasible and the risks tolerable, then it would be irresponsible for the City council to reject it. As for the community preferring to pay more for public employee salaries than build a ballpark, please visit our site and read the citizen comments. Positive comments outnumber negative by a huge margin - www.BallparkforEscondido.org— October 16, 2010 12:54 p.m.
