The Political Season Begins Early For PPH & Escondido?

The reader comments added to the following NC Times article on PPH's ERTC decision are quite interesting and political. This years elections, particularly for the PPH Board, may be much more colorful than past elections!

All voters should not forget next election the three Escondido council members who caused delays and obstructed the hospital for more than a year for petty politics."

Sam wrote on February 24, 2006 2:19 PM: "Mike, Remember that the 3 council members have allowed PPH to build the hospital in Escondido. They should be thanked for their decision. The city did not delay the process 1 day. It took PPH 1 year to fullfil their promise to committ to build Citracado and upgrade Palomar downtown. Since BB passed, PPH has been doing environmental studies and negotiating purshase of land. They still need 18 more months to get the state approval. Stop your Propaganda about the city of Escondido and the council and be appreciative of the happy ending. The final agreement is good for the hospital district and the the city of Escondido. The Council will be remembered for their courage to protect the city's interest."

I agree that this will have a significant impact on the quality of life in this area, while we're paying through the nose for healthcare and taxes. All voters should not forget any future elections and the five Escondido council members who proved to us who really runs this city. I heartily thank you for making this so abundantly clear to the few of us who are actually paying attention. How sad and embarrassing for all of them. See you at the polls!"

The Order wrote on February 24, 2006 8:20 PM: "Up for grabs in this fall's election: 4 PPH board seats, the mayor's seat, and 2 city council seats. The seats at PPH are now held by Krider, Kleiter, Scofield and Larson. (Kleiter was the low voter get in 2002.) The city council seats are now held by Newman and Waldron. Disgusted will need to wait until 2008 to get at Rivera, Bassett and Greer at PPH, and Abed and Gallo at the city. We hear that J.K. wants a seat on the PPH board, T.D'A. wants the mayor's seat, and K.M. wants a seat on the city council."
