Our school districts must address key issues in order to face the long term challenges afflicting them. FUESD and FUHSD must start the process of unification. This process will ultimately save millions of dollars per year. You must change this top heavy system, of administrators, taking six figure salaries while students and teachers go without. We need spending accountability. We cannot continue to have a school board that declines its fiduciary responsibilities. Our district is fraught with waste. It is an unjust state of a...
I take issue with your conclusion. If it were certain, the golf course would already be closed. The likely scenario that will play out is: (1) Army Corps of Engineers rejects the application for Moosa Creek mitigation bank; (2) The buyer (CLG) lets its option to purchase expire; (3) SLRD LLC sequences to its next best offer, which is suspected to be a group intending to refurbish the club and operate it for profit, attracting business not only from the growing Bonsall area (developments at the club plus the I-15 and Hwy 76...

FALLBROOK – A retired nurse who is now a widow was referred by a friend to Innovative Healthcare Consultants. She started by telling an RN Care Manager that she is all alone and worried about what will happen to her if no one is there advocating on her behalf. She never had children and even though she had good friends, they were all about her age, in their 70’s and 80’s. As a nurse, she had seen patients in the hospital who didn’t have anyone around to advocate for them. She dreaded the idea of developing a serio...
