Eli Home at Mercy of Council Politics

* While I completely agree with your editorial “Shelter Deserves a Fair Chance” (June 28), it doesn’t look like “fair” is in the cards for the Eli Home as long as politics and not merit dictate policy on the Anaheim City Council.

It is no secret that the 3-2 splits on the City Council are purely political and have nothing to do with the case made by the opposing residents in Anaheim Hills.

It has everything to do with the political ties of the Galloways, who are trying their best to offer a badly needed service to Anaheim and Orange County.

It is sad when public policy and social needs suffer so outrageously from the vagaries of elected officials motivated more by political vengeance than by serving the best interests of the community and providing responsible governance.
