"MAY"! My, My, My

I have been reviewing the 51-page Measure P, The Marymount Plan documentation and during my second read through tonight, this little item popped out like a bolt of lightning.

"4. New Facilities Permitted

The Specific Plan permits the development of the following uses and facilities within the
Specific Plan area:

Library. A new 26,710-square foot library and lecture hall may replace the existing
4,072-square foot library that is connected to the existing academic building, and would include a partial remodel of the facade of the existing academic building."

If you missed it, especially all of you who are Measure P supporters, here is it again with one particular word highlighted.

4. New Facilities Permitted

The Specific Plan permits the development of the following uses and facilities within the Specific Plan area:
A new 26,710-square foot library and lecture hall may replace the existing
4,072-square foot library that is connected to the existing academic building, and would include a partial remodel of the facade of the existing academic building.

Do I really need to repeat it once again? I don't think so.

So, to all of you who have been enjoying your Kool-Aid as you read all the "Yes on Measure P" marketing, please become reaware of my assertion that the brick and mortar "state-of-the-art library" is not even mentioned as something that "would", "will", or "is planned" according to the 51-page document.

My assertion is that Marymount will never build a new physical library structure since it is very expensive to build something that is already obsolete in this age of virtual libraries and information providing storage sites all over the planet.

Their use of "may" is clever and continues to demonstrate a deception just about every supporter has stated as something that factually would be built when the fact is right in front of them that a library "may" be built, but that is all.

Please Vote "No" on Measure P, The Marymount Plan.

Safety. Everyone. Everywhere. Every hour.
