Saturday’s budget meeting at the Del Mar Center was impressive. Impressive because of all those who chose to attend, and impressive because of the intelligent, well reasoned and diverse nature of the opinions held and expressed. Good stuff.
In addition, watching the process unwind and seeing it produce a result that was not all of what each individual wanted, but one with which each individual could live, was most impressive of all, because that is the essence of a civilized culture. And folks, these days civility can be pretty hard to find.
If chosen to serve on The Sea Ranch Board of Directors, I pledge to consider all information submitted by experts, fellow board members, members of The Sea Ranch Staff and members of The Sea Ranch Association. I will then make a decision which my conscience tells me will produce the greatest good for the greatest number, recognizing that from time to time, some of us will have to make personal sacrifices to achieve that end.
"The mark of a learned mind is the ability to entertain a thought or idea without accepting it."
