THE PUBLIC WORKSHOP-NEW CITY HALL

THE PUBLIC WORKSHOP-NEW CITY HALL

 

I was very pleased to see such a huge turnout at last night’s Council meeting and to view the presentations prepared by Tower Investments and Empire Commercial.

 

This increased citizen participation clearly shows the degree of involvement all inhabitants of the greater Tehachapi area and their interest in weighing in on the future development of the City’s expansion.

 

While I spoke in favor of the Capital Hills site, the greater preponderance seemed more inclined to favor the Curry/Valley Blvd. site. Hey, I’m a team player and if the Council vote goes to the Empire site at Curry, I will jump aboard with great enthusiasm and do whatever I can to make it a big success.

 

Empire’s artist renderings look very inviting with lots of green spaces and attractive designs. The addition of senior housing would be wonderful since these citizens would actually be able to walk to both City Hall and the adjoining shops and restaurants. It would be a boon to them. Also, with a new supermarket there (Slater’s?) the 3000 plus residents in the immediate area would no longer have to drive the one mile distance to already crowded Albertson’s or Save Mart unless they wanted to and not because they had to.

 

And, who knows, wouldn’t it be nice to have a Famous Dave’s BBQ and perhaps a Trader Joe’s and Pier One Imports, etc.? Maybe even a Michael’s Art Store and Red Lobster. Yummm! I think we’re on a roll and thank you one and all for standing up for Tehachapi.

Hey Medicone! I won't allow you to make me stoop to your level of personal attacks. I'll leave that up to people like you. You're good at it and I wouldn't want to deprive you of that pleasure. But I don't discriminate and believe that everyone has the right to say what they want. Even you!

I think paralegal39years should eat some crow after the editorial by Tehachapi News on Oct 8th

http://www.tehachapinews.co...

Paralegal39years  Wrote: (In yellow and red, text from editorial is in black and red, I'm in blue))

PUBLICLY-AVOWED DRUG USER SUPPORTS HAND.

http://www.tehachapinews.co...

 

 (To Ms. Hart)   With all due respect, you should think before reacting with sad theatrics.  So far, you're batting zero....

Based upon my forty (40) years in law as a practicing paralegal and law instructor for 20 years -- USC,UCLA, Univ. of West LA Law School and National Honor Society -- "Truth" is an absolute defense to a defamation lawsuit....You admitted not being at the meeting so all you heard was hearsay.

 

Back to

PUBLICLY-AVOWED DRUG USER SUPPORTS HAND.

I’m inclined to opt for quality when I present myself in public.  That's how "thinking people" respond

 But then we see the child in other blogs

 

THE STAR COST ONE MILLION DOLLARS 

WOW !  Have you seen Jason Caudle driving his new Black Hummer? 

I don’t believe for a second that Councilman Beckman made the outlandish accusations leveled against him -- that he had taken the time to accuse Councilwoman Hand of smoking pot and using other drugs in her music shop.

 

 

 Unedited statement provided by Virginia Sheridan
The following week I spoke with my neighbor Holly Hart about the city council and city government issues. I told her that Stan had, in his comments to me, expressed the opinion that Deborah Hand “had been smoking pot for the last thirty years,” and words to the effect that she didn't have a brain in her head.
I was not at this week's City Council meeting. I regret that my comments as to what Stan said were made public. However, I feel obliged to attest to the fact that I repeated these comments.

 

 

 

 

(To Ms. Hart) Moreover, your avowed drug user's public comment, besides confessing to using illicit drugs, was equally bucket-bottom, shallow and superficial

Her son, musician John Kamplain, also addressed the council, admitting his use of medical marijuana.

“And it's none of your damn business,”
said Kamplain of his medical usage. “A recall can vote every one of you out. Don't call the kettle black. You're labeling a whole group of people.”

Before the meeting finally moved on to address agenda items, Mayor Pro-Tem Hand spoke up with an amused smile, “For the record, I don't smoke pot, medicinally or otherwise. I don't even smoke tobacco,”

Personal attack is what you guys do to the Tehachapi News everyday. If your going to run and sling mud, get ready to get some on yourself.
