I thank The Star for supporting the residents of El Dorado Estates in their effort to defeat Measure F. We won this battle by an outstanding margin -- 969 votes (86 percent) against the measure and 159 votes (14 percent ) for it. We also thank all those who helped get the message out, and we thank the voters of Fillmore for taking the time to cast their votes, especially with only one issue on the ballot. Their concern for the future of El Dorado residents and the City of Fillmore is tremendously appreciated.
