Laguna Niguel Planning

City of Laguna Niguel
City Council
Joe Brown
Gary Capata
Paul G Glaab
Linda Lindholm
Robert Ming

My City Manager sent me a letter asking that I provide input on meeting my existing and emerging needs. I assume he was unhappy about something I wrote in the Register regarding “The City Council has no fiscal responsibility and should stop all construction on the over budget, unnecessary palace and sell the land.” California faces junk bond status. Our City tax revenues are crashing. There are major budget cuts
for our teachers next it will be fire and police.

The multicolored embossed letter offers a link to surveys.survey.network.com/comdev

BUT the link doesn’t work. The link actually directs you to a Canadian lottery to win
a Ford Mustang. I welcome all to have at it and drive that Ford down from Dawson City in Northern Canada.

In response to your lovely letter, I expect you to spend money as if it was being borrowed from your Grandmother who survived The Great Depression. We have now repaired the median on Golden Lantern with lush landscaping and new traffic design four times in three years, and the road appears about the same. We do need to pay our teachers, firemen, Sherriff the same salary they have become accustomed. I stand by my plan to join a Tri-City merger of all duplicated services.



Thank you for asking for my input. If I win the Mustang please donate it to a raffle to gather the funding we need for schools.

Goldman Sachs Wrote Banking Bill?

Rally the troops.
Obama calls America to rage mighty fists up against Wall Street.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner encited politicians and Americans
to wage a "just war" of reforming the banking sector.
Senator Christopher Dodd leads the charge;
but (in the background Goldman Sachs).

Obama honors Dodd, for financial regulatory reform.
Did he give a Saint Crispian Day Speech?

 Gilda Radner, God rest her beautiful soul, would say in character.
 ‘nevermind’ America is busy watching Dancing with the Stars.

Mr Geithner, is handsome enough to be one of the next dancing partners.
It might improve the listening audience to hear about exactly where Wall Street is today.

"Rather proclaim it,'MARKET MAKERS', through my host,

That he which hath no stomach to this fight,

Let him depart; his passport shall be made,

And crowns for convoy put into his purse;

We would not die in that man’s company

That fears his fellowship to die with us.

This day is call’d the feast of Crispian.

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,

Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,

And rouse him at the name of Crispian."



Henry V ( 1599) by William Shakespeare

Capistrano School Students Strike

My budget cut ideas:


There are 329 Unified Districts, 561 Elementary 88 High School and

76 other. Some are State funded some are local tax based.

These could be consolidated and reduce average district administrative salary $67000 average superintendant. $ 137000 and cut salaries and buildings in half or more. I could cut $ 30 million in two months

For example Let us sell the $ 38 million + dollar Taj Mahal palace that houses less than 250 employees of the Capo District for $2o million. A good leader could assess which employees are the best and Capo moves into Saddleback offices by Fall of next year. This would be state wide and rolling closures.



Special Education needs a big haircut. I know this is unpopular but special interest groups, Mediators, Lawyers and "numbered Plans" have created a monster whereby a student is given sometimes two full time aids to follow them around school and tag team.



If we don't cut we are doomed.



Taking 10% from a teacher's paycheck is not how a financially savvy CEO would slash.



California is going to face junk bond ratings and be bankrupt.



I am not keeping my children home tomorrow. I am going to stand with a sign with Arnold's phone number (916) 445-2841 and will someone please post the phone numbers for the board members- maybe all parents need to call and tell them to put the building up for sale today.



If the Board is so wasteful to hire guards with guns they had better all quit. That is the quickest method to start a riot.

Why has the Board failed to ask parents to come down and stand up peacefully to make certain our children are safe? I will come, I will get my neighbor and my Mother – Capo Board of Trustees you need to take some classes on negotiating before you hire guns.
