Rainbow board: stop costly recalls

The new majority of the Rainbow Water District board has expressed their goals to be fiscally responsible and act in the best interests of their ratepayers. If this is really true, they can take action as that majority to ask ROC and their supporters to stop the effort to recall Bob Glick. They can use their leadership for the good of the district and ask the ratepayers in Division 5 not to sign the recall petition. Since they are now the majority and can basically change any policy they want there is no rationale or need to recall Bob Glick. Their only reason can be to replace him so they can appoint or have someone elected who will give them four votes to fire the general manager. By the way, that will be the eighth general manager the boards have hired in the past five years.

By not speaking out against the recall, the majority will sit by and cost all the divisions in Rainbow $40,000 for the election and then when they fire the general manager it will cost an additional $200,000. Citizens in Division 5, unless you want to cost all the ratepayers in the Rainbow District over one quarter of $1 million you should not sign the recall petition.

Mr. Bob Glick is a very honest and ethical man and has been a resident of the Fallbrook Community for over 30 years. The alleged charges against him for the recall for his short term as a member of the Rainbow Board are false and absurd. Before you consider signing the recall petition, investigate the motives of those people proposing the recall and evaluate if your act of signing is worth questioning the character of a respectable citizen and costing all the ratepayers of Rainbow $240,000.
