Mayor Pro-Tem Leslie Daigle Accepting Awards (and Campaign Contributions) For a Fabricated Issue

Yes, it's a long title...

Perhaps I'm the only one who cares about this, because obviously the Daily Pilot doesn't want to:

• Call out Mayor Pro-Tem Leslie Daigle for graciously accepting an award for a Fabricated Issue.
• Or embarrass all the groups who are presenting Leslie awards and accolades for "Going to Bat" over this Fabricated issue.

To recap:

• There was talk that the back nine of the Newport Beach Golf Course would become a parking lot for the John Wayne Airport
• Orange County Supervisor John Moorlach (who represents Newport Beach) came to the Newport Beach City Council and said it's not an issue, the back nine would never be a parking lot.
• Then-Councilwoman/now-Mayor Pro-Tem Leslie Daigle has the Newport Beach City Council "proclaim" that it would oppose any such attempt to make the back nine a parking lot.
• Then-Councilwoman/now-Mayor Pro-Tem Leslie Daigle goes on a public mission, collecting signatures, and campaign contributions, to "stop" the "Parking-lot-ization" of the Back Nine, telling everyone to send emails to the County Supervisors:

"It demonstrated the power of the Internet as a tool for political activism," said Councilwoman Leslie Daigle, noting that hundreds of residents sent e-mails to elected officials decrying the plan."

• All the Leslie Daigle back patting occurs in the OC Register and Daily Pilot.
  
• Supervisor John Moorlach, upset that this non-issue became an issue writes:

"Allow me to get to the point, the letters and e-mails we received did nothing to influence my position, I already shared it. That's why I announced it early and often in public and in the media."

and

"I wish to thank the many who communicated with my office for getting involved. I hope you feel comfortable in doing so in the future when we don't have a fabricated issue."

County Supervisor John Moorlach calls Leslie's crusade a FABRICATED ISSUE.

Let me repeat...


County Supervisor John Moorlach calls Leslie's crusade a FABRICATED ISSUE.

This seems to be pretty important to me.

Doesn't it seem important to you?

Mayor Pro-Tem Daigle is accepting accolades and awards, and campaign contributions, using a Fabricated issue?

and for some reason, the Daily Pilot has made no mention of this in their articles.

They even put a picture of Leslie and all the signed petitions in their paper...

Hmmm....
