Displeased with all the candidates for City Council

As an emigrant to this great land, I find it insulting that Andy Fox and Dennis Gillette took away my vote, my vote for Ed Masry.

If they really wanted to appoint somebody, why not someone who was an ally of Mr. Masry and would vote the same way, not the opposite. And why not have Dr. Glancy run for election to confirm his seat, except that they know that he would lose.

Louis Masry is not entitled to inherit the seat. He should earn his dues and just moving here does not cut it--he is sneaky saying his kids go to school here, but like our senators (and congressmen), the public schools are not good enough for his kids.

I also cannot support Claudia nor Janet Wall as they say no to just about any project. They seem to be puppets of Linda Parks and it's sad that they are unfairly criticized, so they end up looking like martyrs when they don't have much going for them except political rhetoric.

Why don't more good people come to run for the Thousand Oaks City Council? Ali Shahid Newbury Park
