From the Signal.”LandSource spokeswoman Tamara Taylor said no employees of LandSource have been laid off as a result of the company’s debtor woes.”

This is not at all true. Layoffs did accrue before the BK was filed and they were done as a direct result of the “debtor woes”

Good spinmasters all put the best spin on things even if they are not exactly honest.

cash, I don’t disagree with what he said, my motivation was only to keep it on topic.

Sterling, glad you agree, I meant it out of love, I promise.

Cash,
I know gas is high but, when in the area, check again!
This is 2008 and the Council closed Valley and Calgrove sometime in 2001 or 2002.

“Yet last I checked, the road is not closed to all. yes there is a gate, but I have witnessed people with key cards using the gate.”

The Valley/Calgrove gate? I didn’t know it had a key card mechanism. Only emergency personnel have a key.

Reply to Pauline Harte:

Mr. Newton knows Annette Lucas cannot come back up to the mic and so, he thinks he will leave the listening audience with a statement that will discredit her!

I agree that if Mr. Newton has an issue with a speaker he should call that person back up to play fair!

Oops,silly me, “play fair” I can’t find that definition the the city dictionary

Laurene Weste was very clear in her statement to the people involved in Valley Calgrove…this road will be open or closed to all!

How do you close a road that is NOT open??

The council has two options and they know the two options, either implement phase 2 that they promised or gate the streets. They can massage this through their thick heads all they want but it comes down to two options. The promised phase 2 or gate. Last night they should have made a decision. Flat out!

They should have said;
“we have promised a mitigation measure in phase 2 that we and the neighborhood thinks will solve the problem, it’s the cheapest option on the table and could be the magic bullet that could fix this. We have nothing to loose and should follow our word we gave. If doesn’t work then we know our only option is C or D. We need to make a decision and not shine these citizens on for another 2 years while we do nothing. Lets make a decision people!”

Phase two would be nothing more then making some curbed turn areas and wouldn’t displace traffic onto other neighborhood streets. It’s cheep, and worth following through on to solve their problem. Ralf Edson (lives on Benz) and others feel the cities phase 2 option will work, end of issues. If it doesn’t work then it was an honest follow through by the council. If it does work then cheers to Ken for saving the city a few million bucks. They just needed someone on that council who would have just said, “lets do it and be council who follows through on our promises.”

WOW! and that’s exactly what I said after reading todays Daily Brief and seeing that there were 37 replies! But, to my dismay a lot of the same ole……Not the DB, but rather the replies. It would be nice if we could disagree and ‘tackfully’ relate our opinion (or viewpoint), but sometimes buttons just get pushed.

I read the story today in the LA Times about the Gibbons and wish them all the best! However in the brief today (and then of course the ‘comments’ being made by many), one thing stood out:
“Gibbons are prone to “moon” an onlooker if the stares — from a gibbon or human — make them uncomfortable. And if they’re very upset they’ll sometimes break wind in the direction of the presumed antagonist.”

I can’t count the number of times I have exited the I-5 at Lyons only to find myself behind some joker who can’t decide if he/she wants to go to Wendys or Burger King. They have to stop at the top of the ramp and make up their mind then zip across 4 or 5 lanes of traffic to get to the other side. I’m sure that the gas station and Wendys and whatever will have a problem with those dummys not being able to risk my life and everyone elses but Burger King and Chevron will be that much happier as will I and many other eastbound Lyons motorists..

This just moves the problem from Benz to the other streets. I heard both side of the issue. No one will be happy until Copperhill is compete to Bouquet (sp)? Meanwhile the whining goes on!
