Both Mecham and Arnold were given leeway on amendments as is traditional for Supervisors when the issue is in their districts. Mecham got his, Debbie didn't, in large part because she was unable to articulate what and why and in large part because Gibson was having none of it. (The same deference was given to Gibson on the sewer issue when that was before the board.) Gibson's a hoot to watch. His MO is the fake "let's compromise" then he starts on the famous drill-down and relentlessly the "let's compromise" slowly, piece by piece, becomes, "Let's do what I wanted to do in the first place." Its awesome and his opponents (and constituents) are always left spinning in their chairs wondering where their wallets went.<br /><br />This hearing was an amazing example of democracy in action, in all it's messy lovleliness. I'm sure there will be more like this before it's done. <br /><br />Los Osos will have their very own mini-water show tonight at 6.

I watched most of this on TV and was appalled, entertained, exasperated and all.<br /><br />Well, this Thursday we get a crack at our own water basin show with the explanation of the plan hatched lo these many years from the ISJ participants. SBCC, 6:00pm, (the 29th).<br /><br />Good reading!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.slocountywater.org/site/Water%20Resources/Reports/pdf/Basin%20Plan%20Public%20Review%20Draft%208.1.2013.pdf" rel="nofollow">Basin Plan</a><br /><br />The agenda is on the LOCSD site:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.losososcsd.org/Library/2013%20Agenda%20Packet/130829_LOCSD_SpecialMeetingAgenda.pdf" rel="nofollow">Agenda</a>Sewertoons AKA Lynette Tornatzkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501351678541088868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-14066669621788626542013-08-28T12:26:27.098-07:002013-08-28T12:26:27.098-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sewertoons AKA Lynette Tornatzkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501351678541088868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-87978399936478009492013-08-28T08:02:17.598-07:002013-08-28T08:02:17.598-07:00Wow, did we see something different concerning you...Wow, did we see something different concerning your little "Debbie" Ann. Never, and I mean never, have I seen someone so totally lost, inarticulate and out of touch than Arnold. And I've seen Harry Ovitt and Jerry Lenthall, the worst of the worst, and neither have compared to the utter incompetence of Arnold. The woman is a stooge. She was all over the map. The eye rolling from Gibson (and I might add from her North County cohort Mecham as well) was absolutely warranted given the strangeness of her behavior. I understand your constant desire to demonize Gibson and Hill (along with the rest of the CCN crowd), but your defense of lil' Debbie is laughable. <br /><br />It's obvious to me Arnold watered down the ordinance to irrelevancy, as per the instructions of her sugar daddy Mike Brown, and forced a vote in order to make Gibson and Hill vote the "No," All politics, nothing more. And Gutless. Thank goodness Mecham saw thru it. <br /><br />Arnold is an embarrassment, but it's fun to watch the anti-Hill/Gibson contingent try to justify her actions. "Poor Debbie. She just had to cave in because the mean old men were rolling their eyes." <br /><br />Good freakin' grief. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Billy Dunnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740796201749942334noreply@blogger.com
