The mid April Country Jo urnal contains a propaganda piece titled "Acton-Agua Dulce residents could be required to bail out developers swamped by properties locked into failed Mello-Ross districts" and is filled with misinformation. The facts are:
No property outside of a Mello-Ross district can be assessed without a 2/3 vote of those property Owners.
LA County can not force the residents to join an existing district or form a new one because Prop 218 requires a 2/3 vote of the property owners.
LA County can NOT prohibit the use of private wells except in very limited cases, after receiving a 2/3 vote to set up a local water district. In Acton, I have County water AND a well.
Smith is not so stupid, she knows the facts. This propaganda is
written to convince you to send her people money that she will spend to get her agenda of
sewers and a water system forced on the community. Don't buy the lies and don't support or
contribute to her group
As to the New information Dick Morris learned about Tower, this has been in the AVEK
Agenda for a year and is hardly news. We have asked Supervisor Antonovich to respond to
the claims concerning the proposed county actions. As
of today (5-19-97) Antonovich has been silent on his quoted support of new Taxes and Fees
for Acton and Agua Dulce Residents
