Buellton, CA - City Council - Chamber of Commerce

First of all, thanks for reading and sending in comments.  

This post is regarding the flyer that has been distributed around the community.  I (and many others) find this sort of propaganda and hate mongering offensive.  You folks are supposed to work for the people not promote a personal hate campaign! 

We take issue with "The Committee to Support Dale, Preston & Wildroe for Council 2014" flyer.

  "The City Council gave away $700,000+ of your money".  If you are such good public servants, why didn't YOU alert WE the PEOPLE that this was going on?

"It is NO coincidence that three Chamber board members are running for City Council".  If qualified, why can't the "three Chamber board members" run for City Council?

Voters have a choice?  Really?

"Vibrant Downtown".  Where, specifically, is "Downtown".  Buellton is only a few blocks large.  Where is "Downtown"?  Ample parking for what?  Restrooms?  Who's going to clean them?  How much is that going to cost?  Maybe they blocked it because it's a bad investment.

"Walking/Bike Trail System".  "Would serve both as recreation and safe alternative transportation".  Why invest in this?  There are plenty of local areas for walking and bike riding.  Where would this system go?  How can building such a "system" cover the whole city?  How do the words "safe" and "alternative"  enter into this?  Is currently traveling by walking or bike unsafe?  It could be unsafe if you are talking about the intersection of HWY 246 and Industrial Way, when most drivers coming north on Industrial Way could blow a blood alcohol level of .30%!

"New Library/Community Resource Center".  Why do we need to invest in a "New Library"?  What's wrong with the current one?  It's never crowded.  The ladies that work there are extremely kind and qualified.  What the hell is a "Community Resource Center"?  A welfare office?  This is would be a total waste of funds!

"Buellton Community Pool".  This is the stupidest suggestion on this flyer!  People visiting our valley have a pool at Flying Flags park.  There's also the YMCA.  How much do you plan on charging for use of this pool?  Who is going to pay for it's maintenance?  If you suggest that this pool would be free, you would have people who live in the river bottom bathing in it.  Get real!

The City was better off before Cityhood came along.  The charm of the city is because of how small and quaint it is.  Why try and make it like all the other large cities in this state that have nothing but problems?  Quit trying to promote some phony culture.  Yes, a "Digital Billboard" is a stupid idea.    It seems to us, that all you people want to do is spend precious money on stupid things that residents DON'T WANT!  The expensive "brick walk" job at 246 and Avenue of The Flags was a total waste of precious money.  Look at it now!  Those bricks are laden with motor oil and everything else.  What purpose did that serve?  That was an irresponsible waste of money.  How about the $1Mil "Park and Ride".  Half of the lights don't work and it has become a late-night drug sale location.   How about offering an alternative to Albertsons?  That store sucks!  Many locals make the drive to Lompoc to shop there.  Why do we need a Tractor Supply?  We already have a Farm Supply!  There must have been some big developer money involved in that deal.  The things you people talk about wanting to do, will end up keeping people away from the city!

You ALL get an "F" for F****d up, FUBAR... take your pick!

How dare ANY of you to print such blatant personal attacks on any public servant?  If I was Andrisek or Connally, I would have you in court regarding these slanderous, mean spirited words with NO proof!  You DO NOT represent me or any of those who read this page.  I will NOT be voting for ANY of you!  We deserve better. 

KEEP YOUR LYIN', STINKIN' FLYERS OFF MY PROPERTY!
