Willful Ignorance and Aggressive Manipulation

This week's city council meeting's agenda includes the EIR for the I-5 widening.

The following clip contains 4 speakers from last April when Mayor Stocks tried to muscle through a resolution opposing California Senate Bill #468 sponsored by Senator Christine Kehoe. Two of the speakers are leading scientists and professors at UCSD, as the EYNU post highlights as Encinitas rich treasure of smart, thoughtful citizens so consistently ignored and abused by the council majority.

 

This previous clip is just one clip in the hour's worth of informed and impassioned speakers who waited five hours to speak at this meeting.


The public has long been trying to have community involved city council meetings about the I-5 widening. Jerome Stocks, privvy to all kinds of inside information from his position with NCTD and SANDAG refused these meetings and failed to share what his own involvement or any salient facts learned in these roles. What he does share he misrepresents for his political ends. He has always treated NCTD and SANDAG as his own fiefdom. Voting his conscience remains his private interpretation of representation.
