Laer Pearce brought to my attention an a big error I made in my Monday post about Roy Moore and Ron Garcia.
In that post, I stated Mr. Moore, the Mayor of Brea, "...has voted to spend $250,000 of taxpayer dollars to help fund a political campaign against Aera Energy's right to build a residential development on its property -- land that isn't even within Brea city boundaries."
As Laer pointed out in a comment:
He did NOT vote to fund the $250,000 campaign against the Aera Energy project; in fact, he was the only one brave enough on the City Council to stand against the Bev Perry tide and vote against it. I was in the room that night, and Roy’s vote was appreciated by the many property rights advocates who turned out to speak against Brea’s funding of the Hillside Open Space Education Committee. Since then, he’s consistently held the position in his constituent newsletter.
I researched this issue about a year-and-a-half ago, and it was my recollection from reading city council minutes that Moore had voted for the $250,000. Apparently I remembered wrong, and I'd like to offer my apology to Mayor Moore and my thnaks for that vote.
