What a disappointment for the taxpayers not to question Jeff Magnum about his unethical conduct on the PUSD and why he now thinks he is qualified to bring the same questionable expertise to the Council. The attendees were also interested in asking the other 3 candidates their opinions of the financial burden on Poway homeowners. It did not happen. Thanks a billion Beryl! Let us insist the next forum on Oct 8 is not censored.

The fact that property taxes will go up throughout most of Poway because of the bonds really DOES make this a city issue. Of course I'd expect three of the four candidates to say they weren't ever involved and would never have voted to issue them this way, the fourth, well, read his handout.

The woman said that she knew nothing about Poway and then made that announcement. The Democratic committee guy said it was the League's decision and he was really upset about it. So who got to the League to tell them about the issue and to say it shouldn't be included?? Rather curious . . . Somebody pulled a fast one. But don't worry, I'm sure it wasn't Mangum or any of his supporters. He has been tested and trusted, after all . . . I have to wonder why the League made that decision.

It absolutely is city issue. Having a candidate explain their voting record from a former elected position is absolutely relevant and should have been discussed. Instead once again Mangum dodged the issue and was coy. "“It’s not a city issue,” said the Beryl Flom of the San Diego chapter of the League of Women Voters."

Well there's no surprise in that statement. It is a documented fact that when he voted to authorize the $105m bond in OCTOBER 2010 the details were in the authorization. He knew. He chose not to raise a red flag. The 2009 Series A was nearly as bad with a 7 to 1 payback and $9 million in premiums. Mangum is not trusted. He is busted.
