I wasn't talking about funds. I was talking about the same thing Gordon was apparently accusing the new Board of doing: Mixing up time. I have said elsewhere but will repeat here: The same charges could have been made against Gordon, or Rose, for example (i.e. emailing from Cal Poly (state) computers, or mixing face time while on CSD business) but never in a million years would I have filed a public records request to accuse those folks of doing that. I have absolutely NO DOUBT that all the board members, old, new, whatever, have donated gazillions of their own private time to doing the public's business for which they will get no compensation. Gordon included! That is a given for people serving in public office. Which is why I found Gordon and the TPW's request for public documents so surprising. He, of all people, should have known better. Unless this was simply a case of "payback?" If so, it went awry and ended up making him look bad. Which is too bad.Churadogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362538114791652208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-1153511744701850152006-07-21T12:55:00.000-07:002006-07-21T12:55:00.000-07:00Yup, I agree with Anon 4:00 above.

Did I say I'm out of town and not reading any of the local rags? Imagine being reduced to this blog - and this thread in particular - as your only tenuous attachment to all things sewer.

I'm both hurt and stoked. Hurt because I think of myself as more centrist than not in this great brouhaha. Apparently I've lost my marginal claim to the middleground.

I mean, is this a great country or what?! <BR/><BR/>And then we step off into the deep murky waters ...... I shan't even try to attribute as most of it is nameless faceless anonymity. <BR/><BR/><I>> All Lisa has done, is run damage control on the former recalled asshole's scorched earth policy of running the CSD into the ground before we tossed their ass out onto the street.

I had no idea unleashing 'schmuck' could be so devastatingly powerful. Obviously some words have more power than others. And some words, once unleashed, can rampage and create utter chaos.

Failure to make this effort is considered negligence. Quite often a contract will specify that a party is required to provide due diligence.<BR/><BR/>A (U.S.) example of a "due diligence report" is a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), which is performed to determine potential environmental conditions that may cause harm to the surrounding environment.<BR/><BR/>In criminal law, due diligence is the only available defense to a crime that is one of strict liability (i.e. a crime that only requires an actus reus and no mens rea). Once the criminal offence is proven, the defendant must prove on the balance of probabilities that they did everything possible to prevent the act from happening. It is not enough that they took the normal standard of care in their industry - they must show that they took every reasonable precaution.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Due Diligence: can also be an entry in the accounting books column for services performed by Mr. Diligence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-1153361314695399832006-07-19T19:08:00.000-07:002006-07-19T19:08:00.000-07:00The unfortunate thing about libel suits is that th...The unfortunate thing about libel suits is that they are civil, and monitary damages have to be proven. In order to sue someone for libel, you need to hire an attorney, and they do not hire without a retainer, usually $3000 or so. If you lose the libel case, you are resonsible for defense attorney fees, and possibly damages. Libel and perjury are very difficult to prove. Perjury occurs every day in the courts, is rampant in divorce cases, and even lawyers lie like hell. Nobody get prosecuted for perjury, and this is the reason why our justice system is failing badly. People should be held accountable, but they are not!<BR/><BR/>This is one of the things that has contributed to the violence in our society. The punishment never equals the damage of the crime. If you are victim, you have to sue for damages, and if the criminal has no money, property, etc. you are wasting your time.<BR/><BR/>There is a big difference in saying someone likes little boys and girls and saying that they are a pedophile. Many of us have grandchildren who we not only like, but love. So the idiot who's blood boiled deserves just that.<BR/><BR/>Now Joey Racano is a public figure, and can be subject to all sorts of vile and obscene comments as long as one does not accuse him of a criminal action. He has no recourse. At the same time he can throw comments that public figures are corrupt and get away with it.<BR/><BR/>But if someone said that "Julie Tacker and Lisa Schicker are fat, ugly, and airheads", the girls would have a hard libel case to prove in light of their actions and appearance. But why? They are what they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-1153360147051471542006-07-19T18:49:00.000-07:002006-07-19T18:49:00.000-07:00well, since at least 4 people i know not including...well, since at least 4 people i know not including who else knows who has access to this ip address, i guess one of us is just going to have to confess.

All Lisa has done, is run damage control on the former recalled asshole's scorched earth policy of running the CSD into the ground before we tossed their ass out onto the street. I heard Stan's ass got tossed all the way to Nebraska. Unfortunately, Gordon decided to stay and throw a tantrum and beg for fines against the citizens that voted him out of office. what a coward......what a little bitch he is. remember when Gray Davis was recalled? he shook hands with Arnold and said he would help with the transistion in anyway possible. did he do this because he thought Arnold was the better man or had better policy? no way. he did it because the people of the state of california had spoken. he did it out of respect for the people. he took the high road and set aside his personal opinion for the will of the people. this is what men of honor do. So, what does Gordon Hensly do? After beening recalled, Gordon asks, no begs, the state to fine his neighbors and fellow citizens and circulates a petition to dissolve the very government that he was once apart of because his neighbors and fellow Citizens removed him from office(WHAAAAAAAAAAAA, baby want his bottle?). then, he goes on a personal and foundless attack(reported foundless by your bay news and clatrans) on the citizen representatives that the community voted to replace him. Gordon Hensley is a worm. he doesn't suffer from a Napoleon complex. he suffers from a 3 year old "someone took my toy away and i'm going to throw a tantrum" complex. <BR/>Pandora & Gordon can't stand losing. they don't give a shit about the people of los osos. they hate you all. they want to drive you outahere...they hate you because you rejected them and their really, really bad ideas........ <BR/>i'm agnostic but, if there is a hell, i'm sure there is a very special place of eternal torment and damnation reserved for Gordon & Pandora.<BR/>Have a nice day. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-1153341113476076512006-07-19T13:31:00.000-07:002006-07-19T13:31:00.000-07:00PW:I'd invert your post and opine that anarchy has...PW:<BR/>I'd invert your post and opine that anarchy has been at the top of this list for years, and all else follows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-1153337701151762792006-07-19T12:35:00.000-07:002006-07-19T12:35:00.000-07:00Options:1) CSD re-starts project.

Don't know exactly about the veracity, though, because he really seems to have an axe to grind with Pandora and he really seems to overlook some of the odd things his buddy Julie has done over the years. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>I suspect that Ann is under the weather or on vacation. Otherwise she would like have given us the LOCSD board spin on the article in the paper.<BR/><BR/><BR/>On another topic, I have just finished looking over the technical report from Ripley, in particular, the site selection analysis (now available on the LOCSD website).<BR/><BR/>Using the same indices as Sheikh, but using the ranks (adjusted for ties) instead of the raw scores, having also corrected for errors or erroneous assumptions (like the TriW site being rated as less accessible to heavy machinery than Gorby and like assuming we will be doing 100% ag-exchange) and down-weighting the characteristics which all seem to measure out-of-town-ness and little else (wind, proximity to neighbors, distance to storage, etc.) I got TriW as being superior to all other sites.<BR/><BR/>This is even without including any sort of cost estimates. Had actual cost estimates like design costs and delay related inflation costs had been included in the analysis (and they were not), the balance would have swung even further toward TriW from Giacomazzi.<BR/><BR/>I’m not an engineer, but Sheikh’s conclusions are HIGHLY sensitive to initial assumptions which haven’t been justified, the measurement scale used, the choice of site characteristics evaluated and the weightings used.<BR/><BR/>Simply put, no one site dominates any other and to think that Giacomazzi has been shown to be the best site is to have simply believed the presuppositions of the current LOCSD board and Ripley. Different reasonable people would reach considerably different reasonable conclusions from the same data.<BR/><BR/>Rephrase: if Lisa tells us that TriW is the worst and that the Ripley study has shown this I'll barf because the study seemed almost designed to emphasize the worst in TriW and to ignore the drawbacks of the other sites.Shark Inlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07308339749797881391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-1153331335313971342006-07-19T10:48:00.000-07:002006-07-19T10:48:00.000-07:00Hi Sharkinlet,I agree that Ron's blog fails to hav...Hi Sharkinlet,<BR/><BR/>I agree that Ron's blog fails to have any relevancy to today's issues.

No surprise. Quite a reasonable choice and certainly one that many of us had predicted.<BR/><BR/>However, let us not pretend that Ron and his blog have any bearing on current issues in any way aside from the times he gets his nose bent out of shape by Pandora appearing in the news and feels the need to skewer her again.<BR/><BR/>Maybe Ron should change the name of his blog from sewerwatch to "The Los Osos Sewer Wars, 1997-2004". At least that would be accurate.Shark Inlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07308339749797881391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-1153328032742556242006-07-19T09:53:00.000-07:002006-07-19T09:53:00.000-07:00As Ann would say, "My, my, my, what a clever cast ...As Ann would say, "My, my, my, what a clever cast of characters we have gathered around the old pot-bellied stove."<BR/><BR/>You guys are funny.<BR/><BR/>Spectator said:<BR/><BR/><I>"As to Pandora: Write a book, make it a best seller! Then send the money to the LOCSD!"</I><BR/><BR/>I'm thinkin' movie... Kathy Bates in the lead role as PN-K. Whadaya think?<BR/><BR/><I>"At the same time I would like to see a resume of YOUR political and community involvement."</I><BR/><BR/>Let's see... well, there's <A HREF="http://www.sewerwatch.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">this</A>, and... oh yea, a few years back, I single-handedly got jet-skis banned from my favorite beach -- Old Port Beach. That's my sweetest political victory to date, and now, every time I go there and hear nothing but waves crashing, I smile. See? I certainly can't be accused of over-achieving.<BR/><BR/><I>"You should have let this go, your defense keeps dragging you in deeper..."</I><BR/><BR/>But no one seems to be arguing it away.<BR/><BR/><I>..."but I have enjoyed your scramble. (Brains and eggs!)</I>"<BR/><BR/>Funny.<BR/><BR/>An Anon said:<BR/><BR/><I>"Meanwhile, we have a sewer to build here in Los Osos..."</I><BR/><BR/>Yep. You sure do.<BR/><BR/>I'm starting to see a fork in the road -- the "Los Osos Story" goes one way, and the "Los Osos Solution" goes another. Ann's blog is excellent for the latter. If y'all don't mind, and I know a few of you do, I'm going to keep my blog focused on the former, because <B>it's a <I>great</I> story</B>.<BR/><BR/>The current state of non-stop bickering of "cash flow analysis," and "who used what computers when," and all the other juvenile in-fighting that LO engages in <B>bores the hell out of me</B>.<BR/><BR/>Boy, do I miss the days of non-existent community values, state-funded amphitheaters in sewer plants, baseless claims of "better, cheaper, faster," and, of course, "bait-and-switchy." Ahhhhh... <I>that's</I> when this story was good... really good.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to bring the "story turning" subject around your blog, Ann. I'll start that thread on <I>SewerWatch</I> when I get a chance.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156410299483542733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-1153288440551775122006-07-18T22:54:00.000-07:002006-07-18T22:54:00.000-07:00To puiblicworks:"Gordon DOING Lisa on public time"...To puiblicworks:<BR/><BR/>"Gordon DOING Lisa on public time"<BR/><BR/>Now that is one strong image to conjure up!
