Why I’m voting for Debbie Peterson for Grover Beach

October 28, 2024

Debbie Peterson

OPINION by HEIDI BOATMAN

We moved to Grover Beach in 2005 and fell in love with this friendly beach community. I had the honor of serving on the Parks and Recreation Committee working with Debbie Peterson as mayor.

I admired Debbie’s ethics and values. She is the most honest and incorruptible politician I have ever known.

We did not like the direction our Grover Beach City Council was going, hiring Central Coast Blue (CCB) to dig up our newly repaired streets to push the Pismo Beach wastewater to a planned wastewater treatment plant, increasing our water rates.

So, I joined the GroverH20 Group who was pushing back on the city’s decision to hire CCB and supporting Debbie Peterson for mayor.

GroverH20 says vote yes on G24 which overturns Resolution 23 – 37, which supported the CCB project. The city wants a no vote on G24 saying that the increase is minor, but it will increase water and sewer rates by four times in a few years. Our current water bill is $183 and it will increase to at least $450 in a few years.

Vote for Debbie Peterson for mayor and yes on G24.

More details in this morning’s Tribune about Peterson’s grifting. Shameful

Debbie recently helped the community get back over $90,000 in overcharges.

Debbie has stood for truth.

Maybe the city should be asking!

Why was the previous mayor Jeff Lee’s home raided by the FBI two times? What was found?

Why has the current Mayor Bright declined to answer this question?

Why has the city over charged the community.

Why has the city not complied with judges orders over city clerk judgement timely.

Time to uncover the truth .

What does Jeff Lee have to do with voting for Debbie Peterson?

Do you really think the FBI shares investigative issues with a Mayor?

The judge ruled that only a judge can determine if recall statements are false..nothing more.

Shoot, Messenger. The judge ruled that the city violated election law and commanded they comply!

You left out how Debbie Peterson is receiving low income assistance to pay her water/sewer bill despite making to much money to qualify for that assistance. And she wrote a book on corruption? She’s not fit for office.


3

You can’t be too careful about making these kinds of allegations!


-1

“is receiving low income assistance ” How would you know that?


1

By reading local news reports. Wondering why Peterson refuses to speak with local journalists regarding this.

DEBBI is a great stirrer of the pot. The corruption that had strangled our County with its leader, Adam Hill, wrapped itself around Grover Beach and Debbie knows it. She will be a bullwark against its attempt to dominate local politics and she deserves the support of her community. Go Debbie!

Almost all of the statements made here about Debbie Peterson and CCB are simply NOT TRUE. CCB was cancelled thus no doubling of rates. The G24 measure has suspended further street improvements.

I do not understand how these falsehoods can be allowed without fact checking.

She is the best person to clean up the mess left by Karen Bright. Bright never had a thought that wasn’t Gibson’s first.


-2

Gibson is on the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors mostly representing North County.


Bright is on the Grover Beach City Council representing only the city of Grover Beach in South County.


How do these two begin to intersect?


Perhaps when one makes a vague accusation then perhaps one should attempt to provide at least some detailed facts about what ‘mess’ in particular and what ‘thoughts’ were Gibson’s first?


3

Nothing vague about it. They are on boards together and when Gibson corrals the votes he needs, Bright is part of that herd. Gibson is involved everywhere but his district, from propping up the corrupt APCD in his quest to close down Oceano Dunes to his reach into the Paso Robles region, trying to steal groundwater rights from the locals and give it to the Resnicks. It would lovely if he actually worried about the troubles of his own district for a change.

Debbie Peterson – the quitter? What a joke


-35

Grover Beach City Council Woman and former Mayor Debbie Peterson RESIGNED/QUIT from the council suddenly February 19, 2019.


Grover Beach Mayor Debbie Peterson took another step away from the county Air Pollution Control District (APCD) on Jan. 21, 2014 as she RESIGNED/QUIT from her position as an alternate member of the board.


Just facts…..

Well, Shoot, time to check your messaging! Peterson wasn’t even on the APCD board at that time, and hadn’t been for 5 years!


-3

Shoot, I should have said, “Check your FACTS!”


-3

What about the fact that she’s getting low income assistance to pay her water/sewer bill when she makes to much money to qualify for that assistance?


0

You must be careful about circulating false statements.


-3

What’s false about it?


-2

So wrong about the apcd….What about What about…..


-4

Well Shoot speaking of facts nobody said Debbie Peterson was ON on the APCD board at that time.


It was stated that Jan. 21, 2014 she RESIGNED/QUIT from her position as an ALTERNATE member of the APCD board.


In order to back up the FACTS please reference:

And I should have said that’s a fact Jack!


-1

Shoot, kind of an irrelevant misrepresentation intended to mislead, then, isn’t it? Using facts to mislead? Otherwise known as deception and equally as harmful.


-3

“Using FACTS to mislead”….

You’re right… why would anyone want to use facts….


1

A form of deception, shoot, to use the truth in such a way that it deceives.
