- $768,185 in reductions to the fire department...?????????
Oy vey.
Santa Barbara about burned down in the Zaca Fire? This is all very tough stuff, how to spend what and where, how to cut back intelligently,...but this cut (big!) seems a little foolhardy, if you ask me. If we burn, what good is a desk and/or job, and/or etc., if we are all in ashes.

THIS IS SO WELL-DESERVED, CONGRATULATIONS RANDY AND ALL OF YOU! And yes, we dial in to both your paper-paper, and your web-paper, to find out what the hell is going on around here. Yay! xoxo

It blows my mind that people in the Montecito community are basing their arguments in favor of the Caruso plan on 1) fear that he'll leave 2) the mess that is there, and 3) money. There are legal requirements for development that are being purposely overlooked by both county officials (get the money, get the money), the developer (get the money, get the money) and now, a whole lot of Montecitans will sell their birthright for a mess of pottage? Whatever side you're on, there are legal requirements for development that no one can get around.
1) The new Caruso plan cannot be permitted on an old negative declaration for an old (Schrager) project, when the two projects are not even slightly alike.
2) CEQA law requires that ALL the studies - engineering, hydrology, compliance with Montecito plan, drilling of wells, taking away public roadway, etc. - are in place, and thoroughly reviewed, and approved, before a developer can dig the first hole in the ground. You cannot make it up as you go along. Caruso is not above the law, and for Montecitans to think he is, is just...strange....

I don't think the unfinished-ness is a measure of money spent/being spent. I think the Granada was on a schedule that couldn't be met, that's all - and the finishing will happen. The main thing (for me, and for alot of other music lovers) is the essentials - mainly, acoustics. I was thrilled to hear what I heard on opening night, although I wish the program had included a string quartet (Bach, even), so you could really hear what's been created here. But the unfinished green room, etc., is not an issue.

Can the legal community of Santa Barbara please get together to help this man, pro bono? This is so out of control, it's got to be set straight INSTANTLY. I'm embarrassed for our community for what's happening to him!
