Fox’s Sensitivity Comes Too Late
* Thousand Oaks Mayor Andy Fox’s recent “outrage” at the implication he is playing politics by jumping on the open-space initiative bandwagon now once it had qualified for the ballot strikes me as disingenuous.
I wish he had been as sensitive to the “public’s clear support” of the measure last month when he voted against placing the initiative on the ballot, which would have saved thousands of the taxpayers’ dollars spent to qualify the initiative.
And I wish Mayor Fox had been aware of the citizens’ clear support for maintaining open space and parks for our children and grandchildren when he voted in favor of the Adventist project in Newbury Park, in the process trading away city-owned open space.
