Sybert Should Know About Area Already

I was outraged to learn from your March 18 Political Briefing that the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy was paying to educate Rich Sybert on environmental issues. I would think that a member of the conservancy already has a working knowledge of these issues.

I do not find comfort in the knowledge that my tax dollars are being spent organizing and publicizing a congressional candidate’s formal education on campaign issues.

Maybe he should try living in the community he is proposing to represent for a while. He just might learn a thing or two about its people and its mountains.
