Of all the issues facing our beautiful City of Malibu, the mayor’s driving record is the top story? The man got a few tickets and had his license suspended when he couldn’t afford to play the fines because of some family health expenses. As I understand it, none of the tickets involved a collision or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Compared to the president and the two candidates who want to be president, the man’s a saint.
No one’s perfect and those who claim to sit in judgment of others–watch out. And the ex-mayor who just lost the April election and her appointed ex-commissioners need to get a life. Bitterness only feeds on itself.
I’ve watched Mr. Hasse on Channel 15 many times and he’s an excellent city Councilmember and mayor. I may not want him to run a taxicab company or teach driving school, but I’d vote for him again to represent Malibu because he does a good job.

P.S. If Mr. Hasse really were in the Malibu Bay Company’s pocket, we’d never have heard of his traffic tickets because they’d have been paid off long ago.
