Jim Gibson's Four Paragraphs of Infamy indicting him for wasting 50 million dollars of VUSD taxpayer money

Below are four paragraphs of infamy that INDICT Jim Gibson and his henchman in taxpayer waste, Dr. Stephen Guffanti as the two people responsible for why we have a long delayed 100 million dollar high school instead of a 50 million dollar high school that could have been finished more than five years ago.

The 50 million dollar high school could have been started on the cheap, level, fully graded, Kawano property behind Strawberry Hill almost as soon as the the school bond Prop O passed.

That 50 million dollar high school could have been finished by the fall of 2005 at the latest.

Now we have a 100 million dollar high school at TWICE the cost thanks to JIM GIBSON and DR. STEPHEN GUFFANTI.

Now for the FOUR PARAGRAPHS OF INFAMY THAT JIM GIBSON CAN NOT RUN AWAY FROM NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIES.

"Vista still searching for home of magnet high schools"

(1)The Strawberry Hills site is unacceptable," Gibson said. "That's not the only site out there, and there are other possible sites that they could look at."

(2)Board members Jim Gibson and Stephen Guffanti said they refuse to support condemning the Kawano property

(3)Don Petros, chairman of a citizen committee overseeing the spending of the bond proceeds, said he was disappointed the board refused to go forward on the Strawberry Hills site, which is now a berry farm owned by Jay Kawano.

(4)"The Kawano site would have worked, but it didn't because of the political realities on the school board," Petros said.

In case our ANTI friends did not understand number (4) I will explain slowly. What Petros meant was there were ONLY three school board members whose first priority was to save taxpayer money and build the new high school ASAP to relieve overcrowding, but it took FOUR to acquire the cheap level Kawano property. Without Gibson and Guffanti, no 50 million dollar high school at the primary site. Instead years of delays finding another site, which when found, was 18 times as expensive. The secondary site was also hilly and NOT graded. Final costs for grading and other extra work needed at the secondary site pushed the cost to close to 100 million dollars.

When will Jim Gibson and Dr. Stephen Guffanti apologize for this massive waste of taxpayer money?
