We need infrastructure, more police, more fire fighters, a POOL/community center (not valley wide), stores, markets, eateries (no fast food), safe parks for our children, community out reach programs for more than Senior Citizens, and a movie theater. Mr. Mann in my opinion we need 9 other things besides housing. Move that agenda foward.

I don't see any glibness in the comments above, just people honestly speaking out against a policy they don't believe in. Here's my proposed stimulus package, and I'm dead serious: cut our city's property taxes to the lowest level in California. That would have people flocking into Menifee to buy homes, especially in today's market. Of course you'd have to cut government spending and the politicians wouldn't have as much fun spending all of our money. But our city would benefit tremendously from it, and you wouldn't need a fancy pants city manager and his Dynamic Strike Force Teams to come to our rescue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-79064777383387471232009-05-24T08:56:27.454-07:002009-05-24T08:56:27.454-07:00Interfering in the free market to build more house...Interfering in the free market to build more houses is madness. There is no community or economic need for new houses, as the posters above have pointed out quite glibly in the posts above. <br /><br />The Federal "Bailout Plan" is an absolute diasaster, wrought with fraud and waste. Always ask in any "bailout" who ends up footing the bill, and who ends up reaping the harvest. In general, it is never you and I, Mr. and Mrs. average citizen. <br /><br />Menifee needs to get its infrastructure sorted out before ANY new development happens. How about the Audie Murphy Ranch road diasaster for starters? How about improvements to our interchange freeway crossovers BEFORE any more reckless and unneeded current development. <br /><br />Bill Lussenheide -Candidate US Congress CA-49<br /><br />http://www.FaithFamilyFreedoms.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-30958870751409512482009-05-24T07:03:40.882-07:002009-05-24T07:03:40.882-07:00You get what you pay for...Remember all those peop...You get what you pay for...Remember all those people who wanted Mt.

I don't like that we are paying our city manager 200K, I think it should be more in line with average salaries of the residents, which is closer to 50K. I know you are basing it on the size of city...but really, do we have to offer incentives for someone to move to Menifee? What's it to us if he commutes? That's his burden to bear isn't it?<br /><br />City Manager will earn a $210,000 annual salary and a $800 monthly car allowance. Along with a one-time cash payment of $7,500 for the purchase or lease of a vehicle, and an annual bonus of up to 15% of his salary?<br /><br />Why would Public Employees, who are not elected, earn 4 times the average salary of the city. What exactly is the ROI on these administrative jobs. I heard also that our city clerk earns 75K. I just find this wrong. This should be a competitive position. <br /><br />Also for other posters, our city council does NOT earn a salary for their elected position.AskMiekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927883124066049943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-27069000387390921052009-05-23T14:13:35.532-07:002009-05-23T14:13:35.532-07:00Well Mann, are you and the others reading these co...Well Mann, are you and the others reading these comments?

I've given up on a Trader Joes, but would expect to see some upscale businesses to meet our needs. We don't need more of the same drugstores and fast food places- Why so many duplicates of the same a few blocks away?

And to the previous poster, the 'Just give them a chance' argument was used with the Obama administration and look what that got us: massive deficit spending, massive inflation, a future bust that's going to make this current economic downturn seem tame, and no results. If it's true that Scott Mann makes a $210,000 salary, that is a complete travesty. This is our money that is taken from us through exorbitant tax rates, money that we no longer have to spend on our family and save for our future. And Mr. Mann wants to give more money away to the suffering builders and developers. City council positions should be voluntary, if anything maybe a small stipend like $100 per council meeting. We the People of Menifee need to vote, vote, vote, and let our voices be heard. Obviously Mann and the rest of City Council are in the pockets of the developers. Did you notice there weren't any homeowners on George Wentz's "Dynamic Strike Force Team"? The City Council has already shown it doesn't care what the people say -- the first thing they wanted to do was change the will of the people from council seats by district to at large because us poor uneducated masses didn't really understand what we were voting for. Let our voices be heard, let's vote out these crooked councilmen and women and get rid of this ridiculous salary that caters to career politicians who will do anything to keep themselves in power. If you don't vote and attend City Council meetings they will continue these abuses against us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
