Divide and Conquer
In Barry Horstman’s May 23 article (“Supervisors OK Growth Compromise That Pleases Neither Side”), a misunderstanding of Bob Glaser’s past growth support was made.
It was Citizens for Limited Growth that gathered signatures and put the “slow growth” initiative on the ballot. Glaser and San Diegans for Managed Growth encouraged and supported the opposing ballot measure, and we therefore lost with a divided vote. The best way to win an election is to divide the vote, and I hope we will remember this example when we have another citizen ballot measure.
