Oceanside: If there is anything Oceanside can use, it is a little council unity. Oceanside needs less of internecine politics and more of council members trying to work together for the good of the city. So, shame on council member Esther Sanchez. In a city known for revolving door department heads, the council's will was to remove the word “interim” from the title of interim City Manager Peter Weiss. Sanchez was the only negative vote against Weiss in a closed session, which certainly was her prerogative. But then Sanchez came into open session and distributed a written statement that Weiss was not the best qualified person and praising the resume of someone else. To what purpose? Certainly not toward the goal of good governance and working cooperatively. Such a classless action may be politics, as Sanchez understands it, but it is not politic as in “having practical wisdom; prudent; shrewd; diplomatic.” This exhibition of tackiness should
give even Sanchez supporters pause.
Oceanside residents - this city is besieged by elected officials who no longer believe they are accountable to the people who elected them! Councilwoman Esther Sanchez promotes a divisive agenda and attacks personally those who do not agree with her narrow-minded vision of Oceanside.
"It's time to vote Councilwoman Esther Sanchez out of office"
