Comments on: East County Performing Arts Center: The Reality http://sdrostra.com/?p=26338 The wild west of San Diego politics Thu, 23 May 2013 11:30:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Richard Rider http://sdrostra.com/?p=26338&cpage=1#comment-282502 Richard Rider Fri, 15 Jun 2012 17:26:21 +0000 http://sdrostra.com/?p=26338#comment-282502 This "performing arts center" is a lingering aftereffect of El Cajon's outbreak of the "edifice complex." This infectious complex (which erects complexes, among other edifices) is a bipartisan mental disorder compelling politicians to build something big and impressive -- a legacy paid for with OPM. I guess the only good effect of this affliction is that it does indeed "reach across the aisle." Party affiliation is no immunization against this expensive infection. It's a rare instance of a contagious mental affliction. Sort of a "mad cow" disease, complete with a lot of mooing. There is no known cure -- aside from removal of the infected politicos -- hopefully in a more merciful manner than that employed with hapless disoriented bovines.

I can tell you that some larger firms have been told either not to buy in person (in El Cajon) or to have the item that they are buying, shipped to their address, if it is outside of the city. Let’s look at chainsaws. It’s pretty much the same distance to Masons (In El Cajon) and to A & B Saw (In Lakeside). If I am going to save money with my purchase by going to A & B saw, why should I even consider going to Masons? I think the worst thing El Cajon did in recent years was to raise the sales tax, but then their raising the tax, has sent tax dollars to other communities.
