A Thank You From Evan Rodgers

[Editors’ Note: Evan just posted this comment to another story on our site and we thought it deserved to be front and center. Evan worked hard for Carlsbad during this campaign and she did it in a pure way that made the political system look old, tired and corrupt. We are extremely proud of her efforts and of the nearly 4,000 people in Carlsbadistan who were wise enough to vote for her. She is exactly the kind of community worker that Carlsbadistan needs more of. Please follow the jump to read the entire post.]

Thanks, everyone, for your support and votes and especially to Snyder Art, our very cool campaign HQ in the Village, to CarlsbadCrawl.com and Carlsbadistan.com for spreading the word online!

Together we offered another point of view to the election and got some momentum going in a new direction. A good thing about a lot of the ideas that we developed is that they don’t depend on the City or tax dollars to implement: we can get Phantom Gallery and other projects going on our own toward making Carlsbad clean, lean, and green. It’s never been more important for our city and citizens to be fiscally and physically fit. Please join me in keeping Alga Norte Park at the top of the Council’s priority list.

I’m revamping my website www.CleanCarlsbad.com so I can pass on notices of upcoming meetings and projects as well as my take on events. (For example, Tuesday night there was some interesting discussion about developer fees at the City Council meeting; it didn’t make it into the mainstream news coverage, probably due to space, but still important.)

Please contact me anytime with your questions, concerns, and ideas.
Tonight there is an informational meeting about the power plant. During the last week of the campaign, I received suggestions about the quarry as an alternative site so I’m curious to find out tonight if that was considered. More details about tonight’s meeting on my website under the 11-5-08 message. Hope to see you there.
