District Dictators?
In your article on the three proposed dump sites in North San Diego County (“County Urged to Buy 3 New Landfill Sites,” Jan. 25), you erroneously refer to a decision by the County Board of Supervisors on acceptance of a dump site.
Actually, the only member of the Board of Supervisors who will vote on the sites is Supervisor John MacDonald. We have already been told that the other board members will go along with his decision, since it is his district.
Since this is the case, perhaps having a board of five members is an antiquated idea. With each member making the decisions for his or her own district, eliminate the board and install members as district dictators.
It would save a bundle of money, and eliminate the facade of a board.
