At the March 3rd meeting, the finance department admitted that their budget revenue projections
were way off the mark… Just like they were in 2016…. 2016 and 2020, the two years that measure
DD was on the ballot... The two years the City needed to trick the voters with scare tactics… You
know, “Ohhhh Noooo, if we don’t have measure DD, we’ll have to defund the police and fire
departments”
No one can be that far off, without it being intentional… And, combined with the plethora of false
information the City put forward, the voters were fooled… Give credit to everyone who voted “YES
on M”, you were not fooled…
A few public commenters tried to get-out the truth, but their comments were read to an empty
room, and couldn’t compete with the City spending a boatload of money on illegal mass mailings…
Worst yet, anyone who favored lower taxes, was subject to being verbally attacked by Menifee’s
high muckety-mucks…
The election is over before the voting starts… “New faces” have no chance... As you know,
Councilmembers appoint the Planning Commissioners, and when there is an opening on the Council,
they back and endorse their appointees, along with all the incumbents... Is everyone on the City
Council a former Planning Commissioner??? The “team” as they call themselves, although a better
word is “gang”, doesn’t allow any “new faces” to have any real chance… I’m not given enough time
here, to explain all the skullduggery involved, however I have discovered a great song that tells about
it.… Yes, a song... A political protest song, written by my favorite songwriter, mister Bob Karwin…
After listening to his song, I realized that Bob had written the perfect political protest song… And, I
felt obliged to include it on my YouTube channel…… Here is the link:
