All the good people of Ojai want to see this project succeed. The need is obvious, the solution present and the will overriding. Sometimes we get excited and move too fast.
Our editorial of today may have been such an event.
We are sorry that the comments in the paper did not properly respect our volunteer civic leaders. The editorial we wrote in the Ojai Valley News several days ago, published today, had a mis-statement. We apologize to Sue Horgan who did notify us that she felt it would be prudent to delay the City Council meeting one more week or she would have to abstain.
Over the last 24 hours our town and its officials have had open and continuous dialogue to move the “ball” bowl forward.
We want to thank everyone for this new productive discussion.
We look forward to seeing this project move ahead.
Let’s all come together Saturday, and celebrate the deep community spirit which will Build this Bowl.
