Highway 118 Hearing
Re “Flynn Boycotts Highway 118 Hearing, Alleging Vote Trade on Initiative Report,” April 14.
The outrageous conduct of Supervisor John Flynn at the April 13 Board of Supervisors meeting wasted the valuable time of dozens of private citizens, many of whom had taken time off from work and driven many miles to attend. Flynn masquerades as a grown man yet he acts as a spoiled brat, claiming that in an earlier meeting he didn’t get his way so everyone would suffer. He tried to cover his childishness by lying about other supervisors “trading” votes and trying to cheat him out of his just dues.
Flynn must apologize to Supervisors Judy Mikels and Kathy Long in as public a manner as he cast his calumnious claims. He should then apologize to the people of Ventura County who pay his $73,000 salary, especially the attendees. The least he can pretend to do in order to earn that amount of money is show up at meetings.
Perhaps the people of Oxnard should consider a better representative. One recently retired assemblyman would certainly do a better job.
