Deirdre Roney was taking personal credit for the passage of Proposition X and Y in Malibu on a recent Taki Talks Show on cable channel 3. These propositions were approved by misrepresentation and have been further destroyed by bureaucracy and mismanagement. Bill Sampson, (The Malibu Times, July 12, 2001,) a well-known Malibu liberal activist even questioned as to why Proposition X was $6.2 million over budget. He further fumed at a meeting on Proposition X funds. “My kid will be in a construction zone for four years and this still won’t be done.” He expressed his concerns, regarding Proposition X promises, by stating that “62 percent over budget is shocking.” Propositions X and Y are a debacle as is Deirdre Roney’s political future and the future of Malibu Bond Measure K, if she is its chief backer. If Ms. Roney considers her past track record sparkling, she should gaze again into her shattered mirror. Deirdre Roney’s support of Measure X is its kiss of death.
