"What an embarrassment. An attorney who doesn't know the law and goes on to say, “Moments like this require steady, principled leadership at the local level. If you care about integrity in our elections and believe in transparent, accountable government, stand with our campaign today.” The pointed finger seems to have turned back on Paulding, who certainly doesn't meet the standard he touts. Who in their right mind would stand with that campaign. "

"Are you a local? Fuck no! Does it matter- no! We Locals and tourists have givin up enough of the dunes. No compromise any more. Go to your happy place-Pismo. Try to find parking dumb ass. Oceano has lots of it from grand to pole 8. Plus awesome camping. Shut your stupid mouth and fuck off. The only trash on the beach would be you."

"Very small minded opinion written by an out-of-towner. Compare that sum of money stated with the much larger and sustainable amount of revenue Pismo Beach started generating when vehicles were banned from Pismo Beach. And besides, if you would take the time to read instead of close your eyes, Surfrider organization is proposing a section to be off limits to vehicles. Seems like this opinion writer is scared to listen and come to a compromise. Too bad. The locals lose and the wildlife lose by you. But we all know you only care about yourself and running roughshod over someone else's habitat. And BTW, when are you going to start to clean up after yourselves from all the mess you make at the beach?"

"Sounds to me that you are describing Jimmy Paulding. Had a house handed to him! And, it's better to ride the coattails of his wife's business, than those of the most corrupt leadership in SLO County!"

"I wish a comet or something like it would buzz overhead and change the thinking of community leaders. A mindset whereas they create think tanks whereas the topic is: How do we save people money.
America is greedy. I have 2 friends that are high level global bankers. I asked them separately why prices always goes up. They both said a lot of euro companies are family run whereas their main goal besides being profitable is is to take care of their employees. They said the main goal for American companies is to show stock profit every damn quarter."

"Insinuating that Charles Varni is "working closely" with a vague someone (it's no secret you are referring to Supervisor Jimmy Paulding, you just don't have the guts to use words like a Big Boy) is rich, when we all know you are "working closely" with his opponent Adam Verdin - another guy just like you who makes money off the non-locals. You don't even live here so you can't vote for anyone and yet you work super hard to influence OUR (us - actual locals, unlike yourself) election. No one who knows Adam is surprised that he immediately started his campaign by taking developer and dune profiteer money. He's a sellout to his own community but we aren't surprised at all, having watched him operate for decades."

"Mileage tax is a joke. EV owners should not have to pay for road repairs. Just ban the mileage tax now because the alternative is much better, letting the state 10x the gas tax without any say from the voters because that is the current law. Let those with gas vehicles pay for it all. They don’t care if it’s 60cents a gallon tax or $6 a gallon tax. Right?"

"Every time there is a Hispanic name you jump to "illegal". You're a racist, end of story. There is another article today about someone stealing from a marijuana farm. His name isn't Hispanic, and you didn't comment. Is it only crimes by Hispanics you care about? Dude robs a house and you throw a fit. President rapes and murders children and you're silent. I see exactly who you are and it's disgusting."

"Have you ever created a budget for a project that may come up later, say in November, and begin with what finances may be needed and a tentative schedule? Then as time moves on you discover the potential project will not happen or be delayed until an undetermined date, you then can pause the schedule, reallocate any funds already reserved, or return them to the original location. Yes I know many times governments don't work like that but that is a separate problem."

"Oh… and don’t forget the upcoming tax on mileage driven. Is the pain enough now to elect some common sense representatives? Me thinks not. Feel-good failure still rules….. until the last tax payer leaves and the rest are left holding the empty bag. Good grief."

"Do you have ANY doubt about the collusion between the Democratic Party and unionized public employees? Do you have ANY doubt as to why the Democratic Party is spitting mad about voter ID and voting? Sane people can only hope the whole rotten structure of California government collapses like a termite-infested shack."

"Yes! The state hired a Oregon college to do the Plover studies and they also found the birds went all the way inland to the Rockies.
When this point was made to State agencies, they responded by moving the goal posts to “ protect habitat”. What a bunch of jokers the environmental movement has become."
