Congratulations Bill Ficker and Jack Croul

Well folks, we lost. The dreaded Measure "B" forces nailed
us big time. We were pummeled...we were not blasted...but
we were beaten by over 5 points and that is sizable. What
that means is.....we didn't get our message out there into
the hinterland. What it means is that we can wax reminiscent
about the lost park...and the lost message.

Well Captain America....scored the winning tack and was going
downwind to the entire finish. What can be said about it?
We will stand down at this point and try to grasp how large
the new City Hall in Fashion Island will be. We will watch
as Steve Rosansky, Don Webb and Leslie Daigle.....tell the
assembled......what a wonderful thing has happened to Newport
Beach. OK, we can "cry in our beer" as we ask ourselves what
we could have done differently.

In any event, there was a good side to this election. People
came out and got involved. People came out and voted for a
variety of issues....that normally they might pass on. It was
a great example of the system at work. Disappointing!!!!
