Now what can you say about Mangum? The total owed in bonds by taxpayers is $2.8BILLION. Apparently the report that is coming out from the FBI accountant hired by the District says the District acted inappropriately and was insular in its dealings. So anyway you slice it, Mangum was part of the problem. Hey DrewN. Now what can you say about Mangum? The total owed in bonds by taxpayers is $2.8BILLION.

Shame on Higgenson for even supporting another candidate (not to mention one under such scrutiny while on the same council.

Neither Vaus nor Mangum have been anything less than gentlemen. It's the supporters that can be problematic. I don't think you can blame Vaus' supporters for backing him up any more than you can blame Mangum's group for doing the same thing. Stating facts strongly does not create a "negative" environment. Vaus' supporters repeatedly stating facts that are a matter of public record and are the subject of ongoing investigations by not only the IRS but the attorney general is not intentionally misleading. It's the truth. I vote for a candidate based on their ability to lead not on who has the loudest choir. I'm voting for Vaus. You know what I have discovered during this election?

But since then I have been absolutely disgusted by the tactics used by Mangum's opponents . I have lost what little respect I had for the other side. My family moved to Poway over 20 years ago and I've never seen a campaign like the one Vaus has run against Mangum. And on a final note, I think the argument that "we don't need another white male lawyer on the council" is ridiculous and irrelevant. Make a decision about a person based their politics and actions, but not based upon their skin color, gender, and profession. I was saying the same thing a month or so ago.

Usually it's true. Unfortunately Vaus has made that very difficult by running a negative, misleading campaign against Mangum. I don't want someone on the city council who would do that.

I'm supporting Vaus because I believe he is a man of integrity and heart. You may support others for the very same reasons. I'm supporting Vaus because I believe we need new, fresh voices and I don't like having people in elected office for decades. You may support others because you like having people in office for long periods of time. I'm supporting Vaus because I believe we need diversity on the council - we already have two white, male, attorneys. You may support others because you like having lots of attorneys. We can respectfully disagree and vote our conscience. There is no need to lambast others. Can't we all just acknowledge that all the men running are good men who have good intentions.

Oh, ALL attorneys have egos! Do you, Frank, personally know all attorneys? Oh, you don't? So I'm going to assume then that ALL "recording artists" who LOST an election they said they wouldn't run in must have egos too. You make all sorts of assumptions about someone you don't know.

If you think Jeff has an ego and that his public service is ego-driven then you definitely don't know Jeff. Not sure what you mean by "had to put himself out there for re-election" but if you mean he had a hard time being re-elected then you need to do better research. Jeff successfully ran for re-election to the school board four times. He was the top vote getter three times and came in a close second to Penny Ranftle once. Wow, Frank.
