Lighting Fields
You might recall a recent posting regarding lighting of a
couple fields in the City of Costa Mesa. I posted it on April
21st and the text can be read by simply clicking on my archive
2006.04.16 at the bottom of this page.
That issue has taken on a life of it's own and may become a major factor in the November municipal elections, depending on how some local politicians and their appointees approach it in the next few weeks. If, as it appears might be the case, one or two of them choose to ignore the overwhelming needs of the broader community to placate a couple residents they might find themselves incurring the wrath of soccer moms throughout the city.
The editors of the Daily Pilot, our excellent local newspaper, today published an editorial supporting lighting the fields in question. Byron de Arakal, Parks Commissioner and commentator for that newspaper, also has a Watchdog piece on the subject today. The link for that commentary is as follows: http://www.dailypilot.com/opinion/story/45137p-68227c.html
This is not a "hot" link, so you'll have to type it or copy and paste it into the appropriate location on your browser to access it.
In addition, Byron has posted the first of what will be two entries on this subject on his blog, Itchingpost.com, which can be read by going to my Useful Links page and clicking on the appropriate link.
This issue, as explained in great detail by de Arakal, is critical to the well-being of the children of this community. I encourage each of you who read this blog to navigate your way to his page and read his entry.
