My issues with Adam’s polling relates to the timing and omission of questions. I assume that the percentages in his report, which I have quoted above, are correct. If he changes them I will alter the data.
Don’t cop out now. Weren’t you warned? Didn’t you read our fine print before entering the fray? You have entered the Juice arena where, at the end of the post, only one man or one woman will remain standing as we take no prisoners.
Don’t wimp out on us now. The volunteers in the MacLean recall gathered almost 14,000 signatures. As you are so passionate on this budgetary issue let me suggest that you find at least one other person who agrees with your argument and start gathering recall petition signatures.
We did it to remove governor Davis which required considerably more than 20,000 petition signatures.
Do all of us a favor and read your boasting of all the PhDs you have. [" Btwn us, we have 2 PhDs, 1 Masters, 1 Lawyer, and 1 Engineer."] My only point in mentioning MVHS, which is in the SVUSD, was that our children attended and graduated from that school which confirms my having had direct experience with the school district at the center of the current debate. I did not brag about any of our children’s or my personal higher education achievements.

The good news is that am not hiding my identity and am here for the duration. You can check out at any time and we will never know who you are.

First you are against the poll, and now you are for it??

Answer, Larry, answer. Why do you want 83% of MV student funds flowing out of the city??

As far as degrees go, you were the one that brought up his 3 “alleged” kids went thru MVHS (having met your wife, who is a gracious class act, I find it hard to believe she would consent to intimacy with you.) My point was to show you what SVUSD was once capable of, and how how much it has deteriorated since then.

We need a City of MV Unified School District. A recall like you “tax and spend types” advocate against SVUSD is unrealistic – there are approximately 110,000 registered voters in SVUSD, spread over several cities. So to meet the threshold, we would need 20,000 votes for a recall. Then we have to win – and why would Lake Forest or Foothill Ranch or Laguna Hills vote for something that benefits MV, and we keep our money, while Fish rains $$$ upon them? And then we are still stuck with your boyfriend Fish at SVUSD. It is in MV’s interest to dump SVUSD all together, take their schools, and get the student funding.

So, again Larry – why are you so indifferent to 83% of MV tax dollars being siphoned off to other cities?
Or are you so full of hatred and venom for our current CC that you won’t admit you are wrong?

You’re 3 kids went to SVUSD and you are happy? BFD. It was before the Fish/Atkins regime of malfeasance and incompetence. My wife, her 2 brothers, my brother, and I all graduated from MVHS. Btwn us, we have 2 PhDs, 1 Masters, 1 Lawyer, and 1 Engineer. I know what quality SVUSD used to produce, and this current group is far from that.

You claim your “article” was about a push poll??? Obviously you can’t read your own BS. You spent half the article bagging on Ury and the strings follow that. Who cares if Ury went to private school? Who cares if his kids do? I would to if faced with SVUSD. Are you one those embittered Obama types b/c YOU couldn’t hack it? What I care about from our Mayor and CC is what we can do to improve our local community. You claim to be a fiscal conservative, meanwhile you want us to pay for your own recall, while speculating that a MVUSD is nothing more then a politicians get back. JFC.

So I ask you again. And focus really hard on this. Why do you turn your back of SVUSD’s blatant theft of 83% of Mission Viejo student funding for other cities? I am sure if the CC did this, you’d be thoroughly apoplectic.

So lay off the cartoons, no more “Voltron,” and THINK.

And write a real, coherent answer. Bet that you will not.

Nice Mickey Mouse Hat.

It reads. “I’m GRUMPY because you are DOPEY!”
This story is not about the education of our children. It’s about a “push” poll that was full of holes. Three of our children were educated in the SVUSD and graduated from MVHS.
If the city council had a concern about our school districts, and spent over $20,000 conducting another resident “opinion survey” by True North one year ago, why did they fail to include questions about this topic at that time??????????????

Worry less about the City Council, and more about us getting screwed by Fish, Atkins, and SVUSD.

Think! – we are getting lower quality education, massive cuts in programs, Fish lies and denies, they violate the Brown Act, Zoning laws, Traffic Laws, and Fish imports a bunch of thugs from Foothill into MV that we should supplement their La Cross and their Smart Boards. For some one who claims to be pro-MV, why do you settle for a 3rd rate education mismanaged by SVUSD, decreasing home values that it will bring, lowering the attractiveness of MV to families, when we can have a pro family community?

Or are you just a grump?

“P.S. Half this C.C. are jerks!”

Using your logic we should have our own congressman.

That’s a bit of a straw man argument, don’t you think, Larry?

If you are not satifsfied with actions taken by your elected School Board Trustees you can throw them out of office with a recall or simply wait until the next election.
What Mr Ury is stirring up has more impact to the results than anyone comprehends.
Again I need to point out that none of his children attend public K-12 schools.
