Odds are Roberts will approve Merriam Mountains
North County Times: Letter to the Editor - 1/13/2010
So now it looks as if Ron Roberts may be riding to the rescue of the Merriam Mountains project after all ("Supervisor seeks new hearing for Merriam Mountains," Jan. 9). It comes as no surprise. As a San Diego City Councilman, Roberts never met a piece of concrete he didn't like. Trading favors for developers for campaign support was his definition of public service.
And now, with the other two developer shills in tow, he seems ready to betray his constituents yet again, this time on a massive scale. But it was the Judases on the Planning Commission who cast aside the hard work of local planning and sponsor groups to recommend approval for this monstrosity. Their calculus was simple: Merriam Mountains is bad for air quality, bad for fire safety, bad for traffic circulation and bad for resource management. So, for heaven's sake, what are we waiting for? Let's recommend approval.
Of course, Roberts could be calling to rehear the project only to fool us by voting against it. But those are long odds. If he follows the Planning Commission's recommendation, as seems likely, he will have demonstrated once more what a biddable mediocrity he really is.
