The Transparency issue locally and the bidding process was missing in The City of Santa Clarita which created the firestorm on this twisted and distorted advertising issue. TONY STRICKLAND GETS IT! 11,000 verified registered voters making a total of 18,000 who signed the petition and when they come out in November 2014 to vote, as Steve Knight says, they will win and voters from Virginia dont count ;) ! Let us encourage the WILL OF THE PEOPLE to go to the polls and mark the box. The question still remains, who is ALL VISION? And why would the city agree to a middle agency in this job? Why did the city agree to a 50-year advertising contract with the rapid technological changes in costs in the marketing industry and outdoor advertising in particular. And to be told it wasnt the best deal available? questioned even by Councilperson Marsha McLean and not be answered. Why werent the advertising agencies in the region consulted to the open bidding process? We understand money talks and the emotions walk. . . .but here logical money, sound business processes MUST BE factored in. Why not? This also goes to show that Independents, Democrats and Republicans can work together for THE BETTER GOOD OF THE CITY and be able to read business contracts, ask questions and make decisions. Now all efforts go towards addressing the voters to put their signature to the ballot box. And hopefully when the people win, the honest brokering and business details that still are not answered can begin, as they should have been done in the first place . . . Thank you for posting Alan and the CCAC crew. NO ON MEASURE S . . . May there be a huge blessing seen from the hard citizenry leadership by Steve Petzold and Patti Sulpizio . . .and their petition organizers. Doesnt make sense to us then and doesnt to us now. Todd and I will commit to getting the word out . . . https://youtube/watch?v=dFTmtlZiKMo&feature=youtu.be
