The Great Eucalypts Are Gone

Anybody in Los Osos who was wondering what the three CSD Directors felt about the possible wishes of this community, wishes that will be known in about 19 working days from now in the Sept. 27th recall election and sewer initiative vote, need only drive by the Tri W site on Los Osos Valley Road to get an answer.

The great trees are down, their massive roots drying in the sun, the message in their killing unmistakable: BLEEP YOU LOS OSOS AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON.

CSD Director Julie Tacker emailed CSD President Gustafson and asked for an emergency public meeting to get public input. NO! All kinds of community members called and marched and held vigils, hoping to get the three CSD Directors to listen. NO! To postpone doing anything irrevocable until the 27th. NO! No, nope, nuh-huh, not interested, talk to the hand, not listening, don't care, go away, shut up.

As an example of petty spite, a phony macho pissing contest, it was laughable. Of course, the trees and the birds they sheltered, and the beauty they brought to the community were the ultimate victims. But then they were of no more importance to the three CSD Directors than a rabbit under the wheels of an out of control, rage-fueled SVU driver. BLEEP YOU! AND BLEEP YOUR BLEEPING HORSE!

Now, it remains to be see if the people of Los Osos are listening, and understand the message. And whether they care enough to reply on Sept 27th. And what that reply will be.

Bleep it, we have had nothing but horrible leadership to date, why should we expect better now? Disgusted in Los Osos

True. Sadly, I suspect that The System creates all these problems since it's geared to go only one way -- no backtracking, no second thoughts, no chance for review or reacting to new data. Nope. It's Keep Marching Or We'll Shoot Your Dog and so long as the paperwork is done properly, it doesn't matter where the destination ends up. Train heading right for a cliff? Not a problem. The railroad ties and nails are up to code, the plans have all the "t's" crossed the the "i's" dotted so everything's fine.

Then, after the horrendous crash, everyone stands around and says, Gosh, I wonder how that happened.

Dear Spectator,
If the community votes to support the recall and the new CSD votes to move the sewer somewhere else (like out to where the county originally wanted to put the sewer treatment plant in the first place, pre CSD) by what legal mechanism could the county usurp a duly elected governing board?

As for the RWQCB's fines. Is it time to go into court and countersue with the right to subpoena ALL the RWQCB's records on this matter, starting back from day one? Wouldn't you LOVE to get a gander at some of those records? I would.
