Pandolfi on the Landfill Expansion
There is a forum on facebook called "Simi Valley Letters to the Editor" and
there are many interesting posts there.
Typically there are the supporters of candidates who will say or do anything to
support their candidate.
A prime example if Louis Pandolfi.
He has made false statements to support his associate,
Barbra Williamson.
The following response from him is quite interesting.
It seems to me that he is admitting that he worked in concert with a sitting
City Council Member, Barbra Williamson,
to force Waste Management (WM) to pay money to the City of Simi Valley.
I really have to wonder if the means in which it was done would rise to
the level of extortion.
It sure seems like it to me.
As you might remember,
Huber and Williamson were the ones who were involved in the backroom
meetings with WM to work out the terms to get the City to not be against the
landfill expansion.

Did Mr. Pandolfi know what was going on in those secret backroom discussions?

Louis P commented on your post in Simi Valley Letters to the Editor.
Ken, your problem is that you don't understand that there is nothing to gain by
being involved. In the case of my comments about you, they are simply based on
the fact that I think you are far too negative, only look for something
negative to talk about, lack any progressive ideas and miss the point most of
the time. You love talking about the landfill expansion, but you don't
understand what went on in the process. While I was against the dump
expansion, I recognized that it was going to get approved by the Board of
Supervisors. Therefore, the only objective was to get the most benefits for
the residents of Simi Valley through means that were beyond your knowledge. As
example, I dismissed our lawsuit against Waste Mgt. and the County just hours
before the public hearing and only when the City had made its deal with Waste
Mgt. You, instead of understanding the big picture, keep harping on the size
of the expansion or the number of truck trips; a position you continually took
when you were pimping for Waste Mgt. in your attempt to attack hard working
City Councilmembers. Ken, it isn't me running for public office. I only want
to represent myself. It is you who wants to represent the residents of Simi
Valley and between me and you, I don't think you have the ability to represent
anyone to any degree. As for "personal attacks", of course they are. You are
now a "public figure" by your own actions. As before, I will toast your loss
on election night.
I have no problem with someone being against something,
but you should be ethical and honest in your fight against it.
You should not be willing to say or do anything in order to try to get your
way,
but sadly it seems that many involved with this have no ethics and no honor.
Mr. Pandolfi falsely claims I was "pimping for Waste Mgt",
the reality was that I was stating the facts as I saw it and I got nothing at
all for what I said.
It seems quite clear that Mr. Pandolfi was not acting in the same ethical
manner,
so he feels that it is acceptable to attack me because I was hurting his
cause.
I really have to wonder what exactly he got out of this.
I doubt that he did it just for the fun of it.
See the article:
Louis J. Pandolfi
for other examples of issues with him.
I guess Mr. Pandolfi does not see being ethical, honest and open with the people
you represent as a "progressive" idea.
Instead he seems to prefer the games and backroom deals to get what he wants.
Personally,
I would rather be ethical and honest and lose,
than to win by being dishonest.
The simple fact is that I can win,
even if I don't get elected,
by getting these issues out in the open.
If I was not running,
do you think that Mr. Pandolfi would have been so foolish as to say what he
did?
Personally,
the time for a toast would be if Mr. Pandolfi was sent to prison.
