Yes, it is a waste of time responding to your comments that are way off the topic. I did have a brief exchange with Dave yesterday at the Casta forum. You should have attended. That would have enabled you to add something of value to the debate. Wasting my time answering comments such as yours does impact my ability to have a life, somewhat. <strong>By the way. Were you the one who nailed Dave's campaign signs to trees in the city? That's a first for Mission Viejo. His signs were also nailed to trees in the recall election</strong> A kid with no voice.

That’s a first for Mission Viejo. His signs were also nailed to trees in the recall election

You're all immature. I can't believe your adults. Obviously politics is one big argument but you all take it too far. Whatever you do for the city of Mission Viejo isn't as big of a deal as you all make it. You sound like egotistical losers and I hope you realize the examples you all set towards everyone else in the community. Larry get a life. I'm not commenting on the way things are run or the process or what happens in the community. I'm just talking about the people. You in particular. I have no idea who you are. Nor do I care. Stop signing all your stupid posts with where you are going to go after you write a message. Nobody cares. That doesn't make you look any better to give off that you are involved and just SOOO busy. If anything it makes you look worse because you are spreading your negativity in a bunch of other places. I don't even know how I found this stupid forum but it should be deleted. This thing is just trouble. Everyone on here needs to step back and take a look at what is really important in their lives. I hope you all realize your wasting your time putting up with people like this. Go spend time with your families. Refresh your minds and do something that actually makes a positive effect for the city. Sincerely, A Kid With No Voice You are all idiots. You’re all immature. I can’t believe your adults.

Well, he ran. Now he is running again! He's just doing it to become mayor. Except for the fact that TK will be raising all of the money from all of the vendors, he will be in for a tough fight. Several persons have pulled papers already, and with a month to go, this should be fun. Usually an 'incumbent' has a record to run on. Can anyone tell me what he has done? Oh, yes. He voted for Trish and Frank to keep their lifetime medical benefits. Dave is a really fun guy, and if he were independent, that would be a good thing for the city. However, the crew that worked to get him elected were the old guard of Susan, Sherri, Bill, and Cody along with others who really ARE the special interests in the city. Now that he has thrown in with Trish, he had to make some promises. Trish never backs anyone that does not bargain with her.

The interview was 100 percent factual. If you don't believe me ask Dave!!!!</strong> A friend would tell Dave not to run if he has no idea of current events that the council must take action on. In our interview he acknowledged a lack of knowledge and in fact confirmed that shortcoming by his comments commending me for accuracy in posting his response to my questions. It is not too smart to jump on a moving train without knowing where it's headed and not knowing what's around the corner that may impact your decision making. Dave acknowledged that lack of information such as the Right to Vote Initiative that will be on our city Ballot in June. As a friend I have cautioned other potential candidates before they threw their hat into the ring so that they would have an idea of what to expect. Some have listended while others marched ahead. <strong>Susie. How do you define a friend? If they have too much to drink should a friend urge them to stop? Perhaps you might take away his or her car keys to prevent an accident if they are drinking and driving.</strong> Susie. The interview was 100 percent factual. If you don’t believe me ask Dave!!!!

It would be prudent if you stated the facts instead of the nonsense that this article relays. I suggest you get your act together because i can gaurantee you are not half the person Dave Leckness is. You call yourself a friend of his but you obviously do not know what friendship is if are are portraying him in such a negative fashion.

The interview of Dave Leckness took place around 10 weeks ago. What other stuff are you requesting? In addition to responding to comments on all of my posts I have written around 65 new stories since that Nov 9th interview. Gary K.

I still have your email reply to the interview in my files just in case anyone claims that I didn't post your direct answers. And yes, I did wave to you on the corner. As to writing something nice about MV I can only respond that you have not read all of my posts, including the last two. My coverage and walk thru of the hospital expansion that was not included in the Register's MV 2009 Year in Review or today's positive story on MLK. Got to go. Council meeting in half an hour.

You even say at the beginning of this post you and I spent an hour together. Yet it takes about 25 seconds or less to read what I said in your post. When I responded to you saying everything you wrote was accurate I also said to put in all the other stuff I said. You're trying to make it look like I don't know what's going on. Nevertheless, it doesn't bug me. It was good to see you across the street the other day. What makes this city great is the people and even though we may not see eye-to-eye on quite a few things I still like you. As I've told you in the past: Try not to be so negative, find something good about the city and write about it. Be a cheerleader for something great happening in our city. -Dave Hi Larry, this Robert guy is right. You even say at the beginning of this post you and I spent an hour together.

You want to see the entire transcript? Do you think that I had Dave in a court deposition? The key in answering your remark is that Dave sent back an e-mail note saying that everything in our interview and story was accurate. So, if Dave believes this post, I guess you will simply need to find something else to pick on. Robert.
