Attending our Board of Supervisor's meeting, I walked out very disappointed. I call this a meeting a Measure G meeting. When people in favor of Measure G took this to the voters, the people of this county stuck together and defeated it with 69 percent against. This majority voted for a change. Even though we voted for a change we are still fighting the nonsense people over the vote. They have no respect for the majority. When the election was over I wrote a letter warning the ones who worked so hard. I said now that you have the bird in your hands don't let it go. I guarantee these fanatics are not going to stop. They are like a pile of worms always digging; when you think they are dead they continue to stick in their noses interfering with any change. I feel most of these people are around my age. We don't have anymore years, why interfere with the future of our children and grandchildren's lives.
We just recently took a 10-day vacation to Vinita, Oklahoma, where we admired a different world. So many jobs available. Many commercial buildings in progress. When I got back and compared San Benito County with what I saw it made me very disappointed. I ask you if you don't want to see this county in their hands come to the meetings, write letters, let them know that we still stand and believe in the 69 percent results in our favor.
What I observed in this meeting is obvious that they are ready to strike this county again. I would like to give credit to those who stand up against the gang. I have advice for them. If you have nothing to do sit back and think about yours kids' and granddads' future or if you have the time get involved with nonprofit organizations. There you can benefit yourself and others. I blame our leaders. When the election was over they left with all the power to have things straightened out. You dragged your feet and gave them the chance to get back at you again. I would like to advise the people in this county to wake up and not let this spread anymore. San Benito County is America too, and the ones who grew up here should have the opportunity to get a job. It is time to stop being selfish.
Thank you this is my only opinion.
