It's been delightful to read you over the past 2 years, Mollie. Godspeed.

A few administrators in a room with a calendar is not much of a conspiracy... a week or two earlier would have been fine, but then the candidates for 3rd District Supervisor would have focused a good amount of attention on the hearing, which UCSB did not want.

Well, VoiceofSB, maybe there would be more money if our law enforcement folks weren't able to retire with full benefits at age 50.

sbreader.... you bet UCSB intentionally scheduled the meeting the day after the June 3 election, which guaranteed the activists would all be pooped.
Not even Doreen Farr and Steve Pappas, who would have gotten free publicity and attracted votes, bothered to show up.
The Coastal Commission is in UCSB's pocket.

Has anyone ever seen the police station in Goleta Old Town actually be staffed and open for business? Seems to me that should be a higher priority than the Marketplace.
Maybe Goleta Old Town has too much crime to warrant staffing its station. Much more pleasant to hang out at Camino Real Marketplace and sip latte's.
Odd that the closest Elementary school to El Camino Real Marketplace was not picked to send its kids to this event. That would be Isla Vista Elementary, about 1/2 mile closer than Ellwood is to the Marketplace. I guess IV is not upscale enough for Linehan.

Yawn, sevendolphins.
Cool pic of Marc with a stop sign! Go stilt-man! Get a *bigger* stop sign and hang out in stilts on the bridge to cheer depressed guys back to a good mood!

IV was filled all election day with Pappas supporters in their blue t's. If they learned to ferry students from the streets to the polling places then that explains this election result... I didn't see that, however.
Farr's folks were sitting lazily by the Pardall tunnel.
It does seem that Pappas wanted this victory more than anyone else, at least in Isla Vista. Bearman was an empty suit in the end in IV.
A bit lesson for Farr is: be real in IV, don't let the old Chaconas/Marshall phoniness continue to control you. The building inspector was always a joke in practice. Folks would be more impressed with banging a garbage can lid on DP and hanging out for a few hours than community meetings that no-one shows up to.
On 3rd District Supervisor Candidates React to Santa Barbara County Votes

Shosyv, I believe that the Herthels have every right to donate $45,500 to any candidate of their choice, and to support that candidate as well.
If that candidate is elected and happens to influence decisions in a manner that subsequently helps the Herthels, that would merely be a coincidence.
Lots of folks give away $45,500 as a matter of conscience. I've donated that kind of money, but, of course, I have no gums to beat. I am a piece of gum, and I'm quite familiar with being stepped on, although you might be surprised at how much money I do contribute.
That I've been out here on Pardall for 43 years and never steam cleaned says a lot about where the County spends its money.

Steve Pappas will surely be a great County Supervisor for the Herthel family and their business relationships.
I'm sure it will be regarded as a mere coincidence that the Herthels and associates have given $45,500 to the Pappas campaign.

When has anyone outside IV every given a rat's posterior about IV's issues? I mean four folks were killed on Sabado Tarde in 2001, and the rest of the South Coast continues to siphon off all of IV's road money.
And so there are still no sidewalks where the quadruple murder occurred in 2001.
Or remember Patty Laney.... the SB Counties Deputies thought her murderer had to be some IV freak, but he turned out to be a nice boy from Solvang, and so they let him slip through their investigation a few times. Only the LA police figured it out. Oh, he murdered 3 other IV women.
Not to mention exclusion from the City of Goleta, in contradiction to all the lofty principles of LAFCO.
This outside-IV indignation is just swill.
Good article, Nikki.
