Please, please tell me that I have misread your article on the Council budget for 2002. Please tell me that the Council did not approve spending $2 million for undergrounding utilities in Malibu Colony. Why on earth should the people of Malibu pay to bury underground utilities in the Colony? Why shouldn’t the residents of the Colony pay for it themselves like the rest of us have to do? I have had to pay for the burying of utilities twice, but I assumed that it was my responsibility to do so. Surely there are much higher priorities in Malibu than this. How about funding the school system properly, or providing better recreation facilities for the children?
