"P" Is For Pandering?

I am far away from the locale where the fight goes on against what will probably become a Million Dollar PLUS attempt to get dorms approved at Marymount College.

It is all about dorms because they are the only major construction item not already approved for construction at the Marymount Campus.

The initiative now has an identity and it is "P". I can consider many 'P' words but pandering comes to mind first because it seems to me that Marymount's representatives are pandering to less informed voters about The Marymount Plan and how they feel it is different that The Marymount College Facilities Expansion Project, already approved for construction.

Problematic is also a potent and potentially plague producing proposition that I am considering because of the many problems Marymount officials have had attempting to remain truthful and not succeeding well at all, in that regard.

Protesting Marymount's attempts to try and claim that The Marymount Plan will allow for a new state of the art library and athletic facilities when they haven't shared that those items have been approved and are exactly as Marymount has requested they be*.
* Yes, the new athletic field will be moved 60 feet east and the gym roof will be ten feet shorter, but Marymount hasn't objected to that when the Council approved their construction.

Pungent is a good word to consider when you think about the smell of untruths, misinformation, and incomplete answers coming from Marymount representatives, concerning The Marymount Plan.

Plastering is what we all can expect in the way of advertisements, mailers, phone calls, and other forms of.....dare I write.....propaganda about The Marymount Plan's "P".

Propaganda is actually a great word to use in consideration of what Marymount representatives and supporters have used and will probably use between now and November 2.

They won't use the actual, factual, and complete truth that is simply, The Marymount Plan has been specifically created to attempt to have on-campus student housing approved AND to have a specific zone district created for just one business where that business can supersede local codes and guidelines and moot the will of the voters who elected City Council members to represent them.

When Dr. Brophy pronounces that the voters should have the choice to decide whether Marymount gets dorms or not, he is not willing to tell you that voters already decided that issue when they elected the five Council Members who acted based on their beliefs of what the voters who elected them wanted.

Pandering. Propaganda. Problematic. Poor. These are just four "P" words I have come up with in just a few minutes of pondering.

Vote NO on Propaganda.
Vote NO on Pandering.
Vote NO on Problems created by youthful drivers living above the switchbacks.
Vote NO on Poor judgement by Marymount officials who seek to nullify what our City Council has already done on behalf of Marymount College and all the residents of Rancho Palos Verdes.

Vote NO on measure P.

Now, I must get back to watching for manta rays outside our hotel room at Keahou Bay.
