I ask your readers to please reject this endorsement and to please vote for Minerva Arriaga for the Del Mar College Regent's position at large. The Caller-Times has written hundreds of thousands of words as to why to vote yes, and only gives me and anyone else a few words why to vote no. The property owners need a sports arena like they need a hole in the head, for they already have one in their pocket. You are saddling the taxpayers and their children and children yet to be born with a debt they can never pay. The elected officials want to raise taxes whether you are working or not, whether you are young or old, sick, in bed, crawling, in a wheelchair, no matter to them, they want more tax, more pork, more gimmies.
Past performance is no indication of future results.
I am not in favor of paying higher taxes, but I know the cost of running the city will go up every year due to continuing inflation. I have agreed with the Taxpayers Association in the past, but I think their opposition to future growth is wrong. Because I do not want my taxes to go up every year, I am going to vote for the bond issue in the coming election. This is our best chance to get new taxpayers to help us carry the load. Hopefully, more of our children and grandchildren will want to stay in this community and enjoy a better place to live and work.
