It gets better. In a new campaign mailing, one of the two council members on the Ad Hoc committee implies that SHE isn't accused of any wrong doing. Perhaps her private, unauthorized call to the NPS didn't make the Grand Jury's deadline?

I was disappointed to see the Civil Grand Jury conclude that the Marina Equestrian Park does not provide public recreation. This conclusion makes no sense. Squid, your squidlettes would have loved the open house recently held, except that so many came, there were lines waiting for the pony rides. This park in Marina is one of a handful of NPS parks that has overnight accommodations for tourists traveling with horses. This park maintains public trail head access to the BLM lands for people from any community who ride horses. It provides the location for hundreds of children to learn about horses in multiple programs every year. This park provides an integrated recreational opportunity that includes horses to a modest urban community. This park is within bicycling and walking distance of the public. No expensive home or club membership required. This park provides people of all ages a unique opportunity to enjoy both working with animals and healthful recreation for modest fees. Why is it seemingly only okay for Marina to host the landfill and a disproportionate amount of peninsula low income housing and have its new park use attacked as not public enough? Is the site wanted by someone for more housing or industrial uses that no other community wants? The current Mayor, Delgado and Council are bringing the ignored park into the light and hopefully we can complete the requirements to preserve this unprecedented addition to the amazing park system in Monterey County.
