On April 20. 2011 Jerome Stocks agendized his opposition to Senator Kehoe's bill. Within a week and despite outdated, non-relevant information, no staff analysis and even after almost 20 public speakers who waited up to 5 hours, some with expert testimony delivered around midnight, the resolution he wrote passed. This whole five hour meeting is the Encinitas machine in motion.
The UT reports on the Encinitas council 3-2 vote on Senator Kehoe's SB 468 bill here. The real story is buried in more than five meeting hours of hypocritical proclamations for biking, denial of facts, self-indulgent ass-covering, cheerleading, outright lies, out of town construction workers and half a century outdated traffic information. It is a hot mess of public malfeasance on Jerome Stocks' part with operatives Gaspar and Bond as backup.
