Change: Factions at Work in Bellflower
A historic process is transforming Bellflower--change. Change so vital here that it is foreign and has precipitated a recall petition (Times, March 2).
The two warring factions are the Nitpickers (followers) and the purported Browbeaters (leaders) even though positive actions are occurring as the Browbeaters pull the Nitpickers into the future.
This petition in Bellflower is an abuse of the process and is a very superficial approach to government. The petition cloaks a hidden agenda of disagreeable personalities in the guise of an “issues campaign.”
To the Nitpickers, I suggest, get a slate of candidates, run ‘em and then elect ‘em. Your “problems” will soon evaporate.
