Sorry, but I'm not trusting a darn thing that the school board has to say. They could tell me that the sky is blue and I won't believe them. So why should I show up to a dog and pony show debate?

The letter of the law always take priority over the intent of the law. It is obvious the intent of the sign regulation is to prevent gaudy signs from littering the city. It does not show much class to put up signs that are a few micro inches apart and say they are not a continuous. How many Poway candidates have ever put up a sign that meets the letter of the law, but not the intent of the law? I only know of one.

I agree with the paper and if I were Mr. Vineyard I would put them right back up. The paper gave a thumbs down to city officials for taking down Mr. Vineyard's signs.

Well the reason is: 1. there is only one challenger for the two spots; and 2. We already know we won't get any real answers from Vanderveen or Patapow. Vanderveen thinks she did something wonderful - and stated as much at the August Board meeting. Patapow just walks along lockstep with the rest of the group. So why attend? So we can listen to the sound of crickets? So voters have really only one option: vote for the challenger and do not vote for either Vanderveen or Patapow. One of the two incumbents will be back but let's do it with the lowest vote count ever. The paper gives a thumbs down for poor turnout at the School District forums.
