I agree with the many letters that have been printed in the Acorn regarding the squandering of our tax dollars by the City Council majority. We as a community need to hold them accountable for their actions.

We can do that by electing new people to the City Council next November. It's going to be a tough road, however.

They're very well funded and have great name recognition, but it can be done and must be done. We can no longer accept their actions as the only way our community can function- - we can do better.

We watch as they waste our money on consultants to study why a shopping center isn't doing well; we watch as they built homes on Mount Clef ridge in Wildwood; we watch as they dismiss our concerns by labeling us as a small vocal group of people; we watched as they denied us a vote when Mr. Masry retired from the council. We must be the change we would like to see in the Conejo Valley.

Reelecting the same mistakes and the same failed policies will only result in more disappointment, more spending and more waste. Clint Matkovich Thousand Oaks
