Costa Mesa Council Candidates Spar On Radio Sunday

TOM JOHNSON HOSTS CANDIDATES
Former Daily Pilot publisher Tom Johnson hosted six of the seven candidates for Costa Mesa City Council this morning on his StuNews radio program on KOCI-FM, 105.1 on your FM dial.  Only Al Melone - who has really not conducted a campaign, was absent.

COSTA MESA BRIEF ON THE CASE!
I heard only snippets of the broadcast due to family obligations but, to the great benefit of the public, Barry Friedland had his Costa Mesa Brief cameras on the scene to capture the just under 90 minute broadcast.  He did yeoman duty and got the finished product up late Sunday night and I've had a chance to watch the full product.  Wow!  Everybody should view this video if there is ANY question in their minds about how they will cast their three votes this week!

So, I invite each of you to watch and hear this excellent public service presentation.  Listen as the issues are batted around by Allan Mansoor and Sandy Genis.

Listen as Steve Mensinger and John Stephens spar on pension issues.

Listen to Jay Humphrey correct the record on issues.

Listen to Lee Ramos try to stay abreast of the issues and attempt to explain his views with only limited success.

WATCH, LISTEN AND LEARN
I think each of you will learn a lot about the candidates and their opinions.  You'll learn that Mansoor doesn't have a clue about issues unless someone has provided him with a script.  He, for example, didn't know the number of the City Fairview Park measure and only mumbled the party line.

GRACIAS, TOM AND BARRY..
Thanks to Tom Johnson for this excellent opportunity to hear these candidates on the cusp of the election and special thanks to Barry Friedland for capturing this event for us all to view.
