Olivenhain Residents - Persistent Request for Fire Safety Services

Here are 3 clips from hours of articulate speakers from Olivenhain speaking out against the insufficient solutions being recommended by the Encinitas Fire Department. For the full meeting - go here.  To begin, the two candidates to challenge the council majority in the election this year, Lisa Shaffer and Tony Kranz.

Finally, our minority voice on the council, Teresa Barth speaks to these same themes of public safety and internal failures. Her questions also point up the resistance to change endemic in the current system - planning, human resources and fire department status quo. The lack of political will and sense of urgency for the sake of human life is stunning - despite the reasonable tone throughout the conversations.

Blog Note: Postings will be lighter this week. Real life takes on demanding interferences. There will be more videos from around the country and the world. Despite US television, cable, radio and print mediums, there are the largest protests in history happening this very week and will be continuing. No reason Encinitas should be under a rock.
