Dear Steve,

I have noticed that you have been posting information on your site in regards to City Council candidates. I would like to request an article be posted regarding my write-in candidacy.

My name is Jason Roth and I am a Write-In Candidate for the "Menifee Valley" City Council. My family and I have made the "Menifee Valley" our home for the last eight years. We are involved in many local activities including school functions, baseball, soccer, and church, among others. The reason I am running for a position on the City Council is to give back to a Community that has given me and my family so much after an accident left me paralyzed. I also want my children to be proud to say they are from "Menifee". I believe this is a Great Community and want to keep it that way.


I have a Bachelor's degree in Economics which has led me into a career as a Financial Analyst working exclusively for Government Agencies. On a daily basis I assist local cities and agencies with budgets, resolutions, and ordinances among other duties. I am familiar with California Law including Government Code and Streets and Highway Code among others. Additional responsibilities include making sure language in documents presented to City Councils and other departments within cities complies with the law. This experience translates directly to being a City Council member.

Because my family does live in this area and taxes are high enough, I am opposed to increased taxes. I believe we need to maintain the Senior Community, Rent Control, along with preserving the Rural Community. These have been staples of this area. We need to control the number of tract homes and the concentration of housing within those tracts. I am in favor of attracting new business to the community. This will provide us with increased tax revenue to provide the necessary services that are needed to be a City. And most importantly, I am in favor of a FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE City Council. If our City Council is Responsible in how they spend the Communities money we will be able to provide a greater number of Benefits including possibly the most important, Increased Law Enforcement.

Well, I guess the word got out about my post about no candidates contacting me. I had a chance to speak with Scott Mann today who informed me of his platform of providing a high level of service with increased police protection and fire service.

I have also spoke with Darci Kuenzi and will be meeting her soon, as well Louis G. Mazei contacted me and ill be speaking with him as well.

As a trustee for the Romoland School District I am surprised that none of the potential city council candidates have contacted me. All four of our district schools would be within the boundaries of the possible city. Aside from being a local voter within the proposed city who has an interest in his community, I am a trustee on the local elementary school board that would serve about 1/3rd of the possible City of Menifee.

Work is also under way to widen Scott Road between Antelope and Briggs roads, Perez said. Construction could start in two years to build an interchange at Scott and Interstate 215, he said. Scott runs between I-215 and Winchester just north of Murrieta.

Another worry voiced at the meeting was that Sun City could lose its identity and history once cloaked with the name Menifee or Menifee Valley.

"Sun City was started in the '60s," Pica said. "They want to destroy that. They say, 'Oh you'll remember who you are,' but my grandkids and my great-grandkids won't."

Mann Captures Two Key Public Safety Endorsements

Menifee, California, May 12, 2008 - The Scott A. Mann Campaign for Menifee City Council released information today related to Mann's Public Safety platform in the race for Menifee City Council. These two new endorsements include:

* Police Chief Kevin Segawa, Mt. San Jacinto College Police Department, and,

* The CDF Firefighters Riverside Chapter - Local 2881

These endorsements come in the wake of the Riverside Sheriffs' Association and the California Coalition of Law Enforcement Associations' endorsements which were announced in a press release on April 30th. No other candidate has captured these public safety endorsements to their campaigns.

Having the support of nearly every law enforcement and emergency management professional in the County of Riverside only serves to confirm Mann's commitment to public safety in the Proposed City of Menifee.

Mann said in a statement, "My goal for our new city is to prevent crime before it happens. When we do that throughout the community, it makes the bad guys say 'Don't go to Menifee'!"

For additional information on his campaign visit www.MannforMenifee.com or www.smartvoter.org. If you wish to discuss a community issue, Scott Mann can be contacted at MannforMenifee@mchsi.com.

We have slowed construction, not stopped it. With regards to not paying contractors, that statement is inaccurate. We have had some bank delays in funding, but we plan to have this resolved within the next few weeks. Our contractors are working with the project to move forward. We plan to complete the project to finished lots and wait the market out before any vertical construction takes place. Thank you.
