Recall - poor city management errors

Pacifica Tribune, Letters-to-the-Editor, 3/20/12,  "Recall" by David Whitney

"..what the heck happened." to the city?

"Editor, as I watch Pacifica's inability to prevent a crumbling infrastructure, the result of poor city resources management over years with failed decisions on fire tax, sales tax to cover for management errors, I can see that a recall notice would come forth. In private industry people would be replaced with new management. 

Pacifica has the highest garbage rates and had to be sued on proper notification of rate increases that were already built into the garbage contract or city would default! With a $48 school tax and huge annual sewer tax increase that will cost people plenty voters will have to save on city costs. Pacifica police now are up for further sacrifice and current officers would probably have better job security with the sheriff's department.

As I enjoy walking by the pier, I look at the valuable old sewer plant and wonder what the heck happened; so no wonder the city is hurting. It might be too late to get a game change."
