Re: your April 25 article, “Parks loses T.O. Arts Plaza office�:
I am disturbed with the Thousand Oaks City Council’s actions in removing the office of Linda Parks. This Ventura County supervisor represents the Thousand Oaks district. The council must not care about us wishing to visit her office.
The council should explain its reasons for us living in the Conejo Valley having to drive to an office someplace else then a building built and paid for by us Conejo taxpayers. This is our building, not the council’s. The council is certainly not representing the people in this endeavor.
I find it amazing that after all this, with contractors contributing to council members’ campaign funds and building a strip mall and ice rink, the council’s answer is to move Parks out. Where is the finished project, and when are the theaters we were promised going to be completed? Or is the council hoping no one remembers its promises?
If office space is so scarce, then I wish for the council to ask for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to patrol the day labor building frequently for illegal day workers. This building was built using thousands of taxpayer dollars. If illegals are using the building to find jobs, it is against the law, and we the taxpayers are fleeced again under the council’s watch.
