A Word about this Blog
The Carmel-by-the-Sea WATCHDOG! is a freedom of speech zone. This Blog encourages, accepts and publishes all points of view. This Blog does not engage in censorship.
That some Carmelites have labeled this Blog too “controversial,” and therefore do not read it and/or comment indicates a failure to appreciate the original intent of this Blog; and that is, to provide a forum for the expression of ideas and opinions for the purpose of making our city government open, transparent and accountable.
The Bottom Line: That some Carmelites have chosen to continue to accommodate to corrupt power, rather than confront unethical and alleged illegal conduct by our elected officials and city employees, signals an unwillingness to stand for open, transparent and accountable city government.
