In fact, I had just provided links to CCC documents that showed your take on things was a bit skewed if not downright wrong.<BR/><BR/>Even if it wasn't because of me but was someone else, and even if you believe the comments were misleading, you have know way of knowing the intent of the person writing the comments.

As Ann says blogs can be anything the blog owner wants it to. Blogs are not inherently balanced, fair or - this being the internet - civil. Ann has set up her blog to encourage open discussion. As un-moderated blogs go this one is exceptionally erudite and civil. Buttons are pushed occassionaly. Cool, that comes with the territory. An occassional a**h**e flammer drops in, lays their poop and, thankfully, receives little amplifying feedback. Which is why most of us come back regularly. <BR/><BR/>Me? I appreciate the give & take. I appreciate Ann's perspectives. OK, yeah, I generally tend to agree with them. And I appreciate other's contra perspectives. I usually find some value in them too ;-) The give & take and contradicting arguments are what makes this blog interesting and worthwhile for me. Thank you all.<BR/><BR/>Facts and truths are seldom either. As noted previously, even numbers have spin. I find greater value in the discussions in this blog than the published <I>'facts'</I> on the Dissolver's website. Of course, that's just me. I see the world more gray than black & white. I try to find balance in indeterminancy. That's my dance. Everybody has their own dance.

They can be strict document dumps, i.e. the Smoking Gun, or opinions only, or a mix; they can allow comments or not, can link with other blogs, or not. It's up to the blogger. <BR/><BR/>Inlet has complained that I post every press release the CSD sends me. Wrong. I don't. I only post things I find of interest. Inlet also complained that I wouldn't post press releases Taxpayer's Watch send me. Wrong again. They've never sent me any press releases, probably because they have their own blogsite wherein they can post their own stuff. Plus, I have real credibility issues with TPW, which I've mentioned here -- the old "facts" that aren't facts, i.e. Wheaties now contains NO COAL!. I figure they have their own ad campaign site going on wherein they can claim all they want to regarding the "truth" about Wheaties & "coal." <BR/><BR/>Oh, and correction.

And documents are usually available at the source, i.e. CSD, county, the Tribune's online cache,etc.and some Sewergeeks who long on have been very helpful in posting links & etc. As has been pointed out before, it's my blog and I can post what I want to, then natter on about it and you guys can then log on and comment. If you want a different type of blog or different content, Get Yer Own Blog. Everyone can have one! Better yet, attend meetings so you can see and hear for yourself what's said so you won't have to complain about my "spin" or choices or comments.

She was first with public comments, she was there. <BR/><BR/>I suspect that she is busy right now penning scathing comments on how unfair LAFCO is. I went to the CSD office today to pick up a copy of the letter. If I had a scanner, I would scan it and post it. <BR/><BR/>I will say that the letter was addressed to Bleskey, and Gail Wilcox at the county. It was signed by Paul Hood.<BR/><BR/>I hate to quote out of the letter as the quote will be out of its "context," and Ann is so big on advocating context for other writers.<BR/><BR/>Knowing that I might be slammed, I will go ahead and lift three quotes.<BR/><BR/>From the first paragraph: (This is regarding LAFCO evaluating the options regarding the Dissolution proposal.)<BR/><BR/>"...two options have been identified that would call for the cooperation of the County and the District."<BR/><BR/>"Option A: Divestiture of the Sewer Power from the District.<BR/><BR/>"Option B: County and District enter into a Joint Powers Agreement.<BR/>This option would give the LOCSD and the County the opportunity to develop an agreement that would create a "Board" or "Authority" to construct and operate the sewer.<BR/><BR/>This alone says a lot, and the letter goes on for two pages.<BR/><BR/>Lisa's respose was that the District would be happy to partner with the county, but it won't give up the project.<BR/><BR/>And that, in my opinion, if they stick to that stance, will be the death of the CSD.Sewertoons AKA Lynette Tornatzkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501351678541088868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-1148071333857211402006-05-19T13:42:00.000-07:002006-05-19T13:42:00.000-07:00"When you read the Dissolver's info, truly, caveat..."When you read the Dissolver's info, truly, caveat lector.
