Letter: Time for a Change?
I see that the challenger for a seat on the Montara Water and Sanitary District board is using a campaign slogan “It’s time for a change.” I have to ask “change what?” When I first ran for office it was with that slogan “It’s time for a change”, but I had an explicit list of what I thought the thencurrent board was doing wrong and what I would do differently.
To my knowledge, the MWSD challenger has not stated what’s wrong and what should be done differently. That is, unless you count some ill-considered proposal for a water pipeline to the tunnel, which would cost a very large amount of money to build (who would pay for it?), would delay the project by who-knows-how-long, and is something that CalTrans doesn’t have any interest in because it’s unnecessary. Sounds like political posturing to me.
The current MWSD board has correctly decided that such a pipeline is unnecessary and inappropriate.
Beware of challengers who don’t provide specific, clear reasons why you should vote for them. And while I’m at it, why vote for someone for Half Moon Bay City Council whose sole reason for running is that he’s annoyed with the development restrictions on his property?
The LCP-endorsed candidates are much more than just environmentally conscious — they are the ones who are interested in what’s best for the community as a whole.
