Broken promises aren't concerning to you? Ironic that someone who goes by "Quit your whinnying" and talks of Fairy shrimp is trying to accuse others of immaturity.

Thanks Joan Palmer, of Rancho Bernardo. We appreciate your caring and support as we traverse down a very difficult road with our dog. Those who have met Benny get it. He's an exceptionally handsome white shepherd mix with sharp defined ears and gorgeous brown eyes. And he smiles. There is something so unusual about him, his loving and good nature. We grieve to see him disabled and wish he didn't have his problems, as he was such a happy and social guy. He loved to meet strangers either people or dogs, he should have been an ambassador. He even likes cats. We're looking into having him assessed by a physical therapist as we're not confident he can tackle Dog wheels now. He's a very old dog, so he just mostly lays down and still loves to go out onto the grass in the shade. So it won't be a lot longer that we have him, abut I can tell you it's the most excruciating experience to decide to euthanize a loving faithful pet. There have been so many kind people in RB who know us and how we care for him and they've been great, many of them dog owners themselves. So thank you Joan, we appreciate your letter and I'm glad you feel the way you do. I just wanted to take a moment to thank a stranger. Thanks Joan Palmer, of Rancho Bernardo.

Each of you should submit letters to the editor making those same points. MANY more people read the printed version than read these comments. Send your letters to editor@pomeradonews.com.

I have started a campaign to obtain 1000 signatures to request the San Diego County District attorney and the San Diego Grand Jury to open investigations into this bond. One state senator also has called for these investigations. I have obtained over 250 signatures as on this date.

PUSD received the Golden Watchdog Award in 2005, for efficiently using tax dollars connected to Prop U that was approved by voters in 2002. I could find no evidence or link that PUSD got a Golden Watchdog Award "as a result of having passed Proposition C and moving decisively to obtain severely needed improvements." Prop C was passed in 2008, 3 yrs after the award was given to PUSD Dick, you really , really, really need to hire a FACT CHECKER.

Mangum states that "What was unknown in 2008 … the financial markets would collapse … and the cost of financing … would skyrocket". He implies that, if he had predicted the crash, he would have voted "No". And yet, it seems more logical that he would have voted "Yes", as he did, before all sources of borrowing dried up. He also apologizes for "... failing to anticipate the worst-case scenario ...". Independent experts should have been commissioned by your Board to evaluate this proposition -- measure twice, cut once. In light of the staggering costs that have now been placed on the shoulders of every Poway resident, you have padded the PUSD coffers while placing the future of Poway in jeopardy. I encourage the community to hold those accountable by voting them down in any position of public trust they choose to pursue. If this was a family situation, with one family member taking advantage of the rest, it wouldn't go without punishment. We should treat politicians in similar ways of trust and consequences. You have failed us Mr. Mangum and for that, I will not give you another chance. Mangum has failed us on the bonds!
