Votes for and Against Referendum on the Dana Point General Plan
Myth: Dana Point will cease to function if the General Plan is stopped by the referendum.
Fact: Dana Point has managed to function for 2 1/2 years on the Orange County Specific Plan and, in fact, is still doing so.
Myth: All building will cease, including building of a fence, in Dana Point if the General Plan is stopped by the referendum.
Fact: The city staff has hassled and harassed people in Dana Point about building everything from a fence to an addition to their home to building a new home for the past 2 1/2 years. They just found another excuse.
Myth: Mike Eggers said people signed the referendum under false pretenses. He said the petition circulators told residents in Dana Point that the headlands would become a park if they signed the referendum.
Fact: The registered voters in Dana Point are not ignorant and naive. They know the General Plan affects the entire city and that the entire city should vote on the General Plan as opposed to five wayward City Council members deciding the fate of this city for the next 20 years.
