Why shut the door before we learn all the facts?

Shouldn’t we at least gather all the facts prior to making any decisions? Staff’s recommendation to not move forward with reviewing even the possibility of developing the Bishop Ranch shows that our staff and Council would rather just avoid controversy, even if it means not taking on the big issues that face this city.

The funny thing is this new City Council got elected to do just that - and now they are doing what the old council did: make decisions based on political convenience. What a shame.

On Bishop Ranch No More?

My neighbors and I were looking forward to having Bishop Ranch and having some sports parks for our kids.

We don't have enough soccer and football fields in Goleta - and now we are not even listening to people who would like to build us new parks?

When will we wake up in Goleta and see golden opportunities like this one staring us right in the face?

On Bishop Ranch Seeks Zoning Change

Margaret Connell still fails to realize that our General Plan is one of the worst General Plans in California. We would not be in the position we are today, if the previous Council had not bungled the General Plan in the first place.

Right now Goleta is the laughingstock of Santa Barbara County. Our General Plan is a farce and needs to be fixed. Our new leaders need to finalize this plan that balances our need for growth while protecting our natural resources.
