Gibson after wasting millions thinks a few thousand more no problem

Gibson has real nerve talking about wasting tax payer money.

Jim Gibson's opposition to a cheap, fully graded, and level piece of land for our third VUSD high school forced the district to go to the runner up location on Melrose and Highway 76. The purchase of the land alone at the secondary location cost 17 MILLION DOLLARS MORE! Seventeen million! The secondary location was also very hilly. It had never been graded. Millions more had to be spent to grade and level the land. The secondary site was located in the City of Oceanside instead of Vista which resulted in petty political hassles and a huge increase in permit, grading fees, street construction costs.

By my very conservative count, Jim Gibson intransigence cost VUSD taxpayers at least 40 million dollars.

What should have been a 50 to 60 million dollar high school built five years ago on the cheap, level, fully graded, Kawano property is now close to 100 million dollars and still not open.

Thanks a lot. Jim. Keep looking for that speck in the other guy's eye while ignoring the moot in yours.
