Thank Heaven for Dierdre Roney and similar parents who are devoted to their children and dedicated to making the Malibu community a better place. They do so by investing in the current and future needs of the public schools and needed recreational facilities by supporting bond issues for the benefit of all. They also sacrifice their precious time to share their many talents for improving schools and their community.
Prop X and Prop Y are succeeding in building better schools and improving school quality and service. This success will continue through the dedicated efforts of our fine new School Superintendent, John Deasy.
There will always be those who respond to real issues with muddy insults, ignorance of facts, denial of reality, backward vision and rejection of plans for the future; Luddites, such as recent hostile writers, whose only goal is to denigrate and destroy through less than civil comment.
Persons, such as Laure Stern, Dierdre Roney and Mona Loo and many like them are only to be praised and encouraged for their foresight, hard work and sincere commitment to the common good.
