Bits and Pieces 24 AND 25

"Dixie Swim Club", Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", "Seven Brides For Seven Brothers", and "To All A Good Night" have kept me so busy, along with a certain Special Election campaign and vote are some pretty poor reasons for not updating this blog in a more timely manner.

I am not getting any younger and I don't have the ability to fight off exhaustion as well as I tried to do when I was 'youthier'.

"To All A Good Night" has opened at Little Fish Theatre and I urge all of you to take in a performance between now and December 18 of this wonderful show.

Now to the fulfillment of another one of my assertions.

In an article published online on December 3, 2010 and expected to run in Saturday's South Bay Daily Breeze, we all learn more about Dr. Michael Brophy's attempt to recind his committment he made in the letter below:

If you read the second to last paragraph of the letter signed by Marymount's President, Dr. Michael Brophy, you should be able to view the promise he made to the community he and his college claim to support.

In assisting Dr. Brophy's committment to following up on his promise was the letter sent to him, as documented below:

The article published online states that Dr. Brophy has sent a voicemail stating that he has no record of the City Council accepting his offer.

There goes what little 'good faith' Marymount possesses with Rancho Palos Verdes, I guess.

It has been an assertion of mine that Marymount would never pay the costs of the election because I feel that the only reason Dr. Brophy stated his comment was to avoid further proof that The Marymount Plan would actually cost taxpayers funds, so many supporters claimed over and over again that The Marymount Plan would be done at "no taxpayer expense".

It certainly didn't help Marymount's 'good faith' proposal when over half of the registered voters of the city of Rancho Palos Verdes voted in the Special Election and that Measure P lost by just over 9 points.

I still contend that Marymount won't pay a dime Dr. Brophy promised to pay and that everyone should contact members of Marymount's Board of Trustees and ask them why we should trust any of them and especially Dr. Michael Brophy when it now appears that there never was any real intention of 'supporting' R.P.V. taxpayers and providing 'good faith' to the residents of Rancho Palos Verdes.

Why is Dr. Brophy still at the helm of Marymount?

This is now his second college he has not been able to secure authorization to build on-campus housing, out of the last two colleges he represented.

Since the other recent article in The Daily Breeze suggested that Dr. Brophy was stating that having his you-know-what handed to him on a 9-sided silver platter could be something positive, there is really no reason to believe anything coming from Dr. Brophy's lips or typing and that of the members of Marymount's Board of Trustees, it seems.

I think somebody should remind Dr. Brophy that voters in Rancho Palos Verdes, by over a nine-point margin of more than 51% of registered voters stated to him and other supporters of Measure P that we should not have our intelligence questioned like Dr. Brophy, Congressman Kuykendall, Dr. Sue Soldoff, and too many others attempted to do.

Saturday's article is yet another shameful piece of evidence that there is something rotten along Palos Verdes Drive East, far from Denmark.
