PUSD got an additional $31 million to cover the costs of the 2009 Series A and 2011 Series B. That additional, unauthorized $31 million will cost taxpayers $200 million. Nice going Mangum and friends. And finally – the big reveal. PUSD got an additional $31 million to cover the costs of the 2009 Series A and 2011 Series B.

Which has to be the funniest bit of baloney I've read all week. How fascinating he supports bond reform after he was a party to this whole mess. The flyer also says "as a school board member Jeff protected our schools when budgets were severely cut by the state - AND HE WILL DO THE SAME FOR OUR CITY." Really? Dude you jacked us to the tune of a billion dollars. Does that mean he's going to go out and try and jack our city to the tune of more millions or a billion dollars of debt?

We all know Mangum and Vanderveen moved and seconded the authorization of the bond in October 2010. What I find entertaining is how silent the Mangum supporters have suddenly become. It's like crickets. Could it be that when faced with the truth of Mangum's knowledge and participation, that they realize his apology was disingenuous and that they have egg on their face? Great editorial full of REAL facts. Because after all isn't that what Mangum's group has been hollering for all along? It was a typo I'm sure.

I just had to use that term, new to me, but I think we could shorten it to just two letters. I'll bet you can guess what they are. Sounds like a lot of 'demonstrable untruth' to me.

It is obvious from the documents that were at the OCTOBER, 2010 meeting that they knew these bonds had no call feature. Mangum made that motion and the paperwork shows it clearly. Why did the editorial say November? Makes no sense. Completely agree with the rest. This is a waste of time and money and an attempt to cover. I'm a bit confused over one point in this editorial.

By calling in an "outside" auditor, she raises the bar on the need for an actual independent auditor who would be outside of the control, and restrictions (aka "focus"), of the board. Say what you like about the decision of the board, and terrible financial costs it has wrought upon the property owners in Poway, Collins is a sufficiently skilled bureaucrat to be flexible enough to appear to lose in the short term, while playing to win in the end.
