FALLBROOK – It's probably safe to say that many people are concerned about having enough money to cover their retirement years. In fact, some surveys have shown that people are more frightened of running out of money than they are of dying. What can someone do to help alleviate these fears? Their first move is to create a retirement income strategy, and they'll want to develop it well before they need to use it. While there are many ways to develop such a strategy, consider t...

Halfway through your first sentence, it was clear that you have no business talking about science. Masquerading as journalism in the ‘National’ section, your poorly reasoned opinion piece is dangerously misguided. You opine about the exorbitant cost of dealing with anthropogenic climate change, but your unbalanced editorial conveniently ignores current and future costs of sea level rise, worldwide crop failure, up to 1 billion climate migrants, increased numbers of severe weather events, loss of fisheries due to ocean pH cha...

Fallbrook residents got notices from the North County Fire Protection District begging us to vote “yes” on Proposition A for another fire tax. It appears that it was the first of two mailings. We paid for this one-sided notice, and we did not get the other side. So here it is. Proposition A is another fire tax as was the “Fire Prevention Fee.” They want a million dollars per year to, in part, replace what already exists such as “fire station facilities.” They say, as do most politicians, that the need is dire and we the peop...

5th District - It’s been an on-going debate amongst my fellow board members at San Diego Association of Governments. Where should we spend our transportation dollars? For those in downtown San Diego and Chula Vista, their main focus was on public transportation. For many of the North and East County leaders, the focus was freeways and highways. Last Friday, the SANDAG board came together on a compromise that fits all the transportation needs in San Diego County. Throughout t... Full story
I received a sample ballot from the North County Fire Protection District for their proposed Proposition A parcel tax. While I will certainly give the proposition serious consideration, the need for the tax might have been avoided had the county and leadership of the Fallbrook Regional Health District shown more respect for our hard-earned tax dollars. When the Fallbrook Hospital closed in 2014, funds from the FRHD which supported the hospital had no obvious purpose. They had a solution in search of a problem. So the FRHP... Full story
This is a great question, so please allow me to clarify any misunderstanding and explain the process that is in place for counting ballots. The short answer, of course, is “no;” the ballot counting procedure for Proposition A will not be administered by the North County Fire Protection District; nor will the official ballot contain the voter’s name or address. I will share the process that will be followed. Ballots will be sent to every registered voter throughout the district, using a voter registration list provided through... Full story

Last week, I traveled to Los Angeles for a California Association of Realtors state meeting. Traveling to Los Angeles is always an experience. It reflects the image of the state as a whole, in many ways. Upon arriving to Union Station, yes, I took the train, keeping in mind the smaller carbon footprint and the avoidance of stress being tied up on the freeways for hours, I was immediately impacted by the thousands of homeless encampments that now make up Los Angeles.

Fall has become a season that's synonymous with home improvement, but homeowners need not wait until the leaves begin changing colors to start planning their...
