Stick to Your Guns

Hooray for San Diego Councilwoman Abbe Wolfsheimer! I hope she sticks to her guns and continues her fight for a moratorium to halt construction of homes and businesses until Pump Station 64 has corrected its problems, now and for the future.

I wish we had her in Escondido. I’m sure she’d fight against the proposed lowering of treatment of wastes. But perhaps we don’t need her, if Encinitas follows through with the rumored taxation of Escondido if the plan becomes effective.

Abbe Wolfsheimer represents the morality part of decision-making more elected officials would do well to emulate.

And a thanks to The Times for publishing a fine article concerning Pump Station 64. Articles like this help the residents of the San Diego area realize that sewage treatment plants are a vital necessity to the community. Without them, city residents couldn’t flush their toilets or run automatic washing machines.

I wonder if the developers are aware of such mundane things mentioned above?

Hang in there, Councilwoman Wolfsheimer. You have more friends than you realize.
