A Little Local Problem...

By Darrell Watkins
 
Happy New Year...
 
  
 
This reply is to councilman Malley's letter (December 14) in the Observer-American. Clearly, he's fed up with rhetoric from Mr. Moore. With a straight face, he characterizes Mr. Moore's words as "slanted tripe, bellyaching, and complaining." Then, he crows about his own "positive and progressive" changes at city hall. Whew! This must be the wind that blew the roof off the El Grande!
 
Get real Bob. Mr. Moore is simply upset about some of those "positive and progressive" ideas you have. That goofy idea to pay David Lane $130,000 a year, for example, and hire a corpulent bureaucracy of seventeen government employees when city streets are ignored. Little old Clearlake ladies trying to get to the store are ruining their cars driving through your pot holes.
 
Mr. Moore may also be upset about your idea to spend police department money on building code enforcement. Police Chief Chalk is having a difficult time solving murder and arson cases and now he's giving STOP WORK orders to poor people who are simply trying to fix the porch. If Mr. Chalk was any kind of a cop he'd arrest you for stealing from his department. Everyone knows a sales tax increase you supported was for the police department.
 
Perhaps Mr. Moore is also upset about your "peeping tom" desire to look inside tenant bedrooms and bathrooms without their permission. Ignoring roads and looking into poor peoples bedrooms may not be all that positive and progressive.
 
Do you have a "good old boy" problem Mr. Malley, as Mr. Moore suggests? He sees Frank Camarratta on public TV promoting your ideas and hears rumors you've given Frank taxpayer money. Say it ain't so, Mr. Malley. Answer these and a few other questions for Mr. Moore. He's a reasonable man who has a right to know.
