As with any magic elixir , carefully read the ingredients and beware the possible side effects .
I understand what motivated the folks behind Measure Q , many of whom have been friends since I was a Founding Board Member of the Laguna Canyon Conservancy . They simply looked to the north and south and saw what can happen when you don ’ t have restrictive codes like Laguna ’ s existing safeguards . We all

want to ensure Laguna ’ s unique character survives .
But Measure Q is unnecessary and may very well end up doing the exact opposite of what it seeks to accomplish . As a result , it is simply too consequential to watch from the sidelines . I only want what is best for Laguna . And after reading the language carefully , I ’ m convinced that it would be a mistake we would ultimately live to regret .
If you really want to Save Laguna , Please Vote No on Measure Q .

After reading Michael Ray ’ s column in last week ’ s Indy , I decided to do some commenting of my own on those running in this year ’ s city council election .
There are two incumbents running for re-election . One is the mayor who in the last year has proven she is unable to hold a council meeting without it turning into a circus of incivility .
The cause of the incivility is the other incumbent running who feels it ’ s his right to insult and bully all those who disagree with him including fellow council members .

Then there is the young man who has lived in Laguna all his 24 years but most of those years he was a school child and for some he was away at college . He wasn ’ t born yet when we had the Walk the Canyon or the 1993 Wildfire . He lacks personal knowledge of much of Laguna Beach ’ s recent history or it ’ s politics .
Next , there is the real estate agent and stay at home dad and in Ray ’ s words , who “ has been pushed aside ” by the engaging young boy .
Next , we have Village Laguna ’ s two endorsed candidates , Mark Orgill and Jerome Pudwill . They are both mature longtime residents with families and responsible careers . They both have experience and common sense that the city has been lacking and are dedicated to preserving Laguna ’ s charm and unique environment .
And last but not least is the longtime resident , businessman and landscape architect who has spoken at many city council meetings about the care and preservation of Laguna ’ s trees and environment . His opposition , Michael Ray ’ s newest PAC , has sent out the vilest mailer of this election . There has been such outrage in the community over this despicable mailer that the result has been to encourage voting for any of the candidates running for City Council , except Peter Blake .
