Mr. Mejia,
My April 22 correspondence, below, does not yet appear on the council web site. My correspondence is "public
comment" and is intended to be public, as was Ms. Brooks' April 15 correspondence which I rebut.
Thank you,

SUBJECT: APRIL 15 CORRESPONDENCE FROM LEA BROOKS REGARDING
LOCAL REVENUE MEASURE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ( LRMAC)
Dear Mayor, Council Members and staff:
Council Member Carpenter owes no apology to Ms. Brooks or the LRMAC. Neither she, nor any
LRMAC member was personally disparaged.
I, too, question the LRMAC appointments as being political. Evidence supports this notion. At the
September 2013 appointments, Ms. Brooks had a scant seven months as a resident and registered voter of
San Luis Obispo. Her vested interest in Measure Y was inadequate subsequent to 25 -years of absence
residing in Sacramento as an activist. She was not here in 2006 to vote on Measure Y, hear promises
made, experience the effects of binding arbitration, observe the unaccountable spending, or significantly
pay the actual Measure Y sales tax.
Inasmuch as Ms. Brooks advocated for issues in Sacramento, so should our elected Council Member, Dan
Carpenter, advocate for financial accountability with respect to Measure Y. Ms. Brooks' vituperous
public letter is outrageous. The attack demarcates unsuitability for future appointments.
I support and agree with Mr. Carpenter.
