Park Board Vote Is Self-Serving
At a time when the public’s confidence in its leaders is at an all-time low, the Capistrano Bay Park and Recreation District trustees have reinforced this.
By granting themselves health benefits at the public’s expense (“Park Board Trustee Opposes Health Plan,” Nov. 19), they have given strength to the view that so-called public servants are first and foremost out to pad their own pockets.
Trustee Mike Reed deserves recognition for casting the sole vote against this self-serving action. Only upon rare occasion comes along an elected official who truly understands what it means to be a public servant. Mr. Reed’s action is truly one of “community service.” Mike Reed has set a fine example. He has my vote and my admiration.
