During the March 27 Pacifica City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Sue Vaterlaus questioned whether there was some way to circumvent the public vote regarding housing in the quarry.

Let me respectfully remind her how democracy works. We, the people, elect representatives who champion and fight for our desires and best interests. Pacifica citizens overwhelmingly have established through the voting process that any building of housing in the quarry requires voter approval. Trying to find "some way to circumvent the public vote" arguably is more about championing and fighting for Vaterlaus' desires and best interests than those of her constituents.

Regarding Clay Lambert’s editorial about the lengthy City Council meetings (Tribune, Sept. 7), it is a timely piece. I have attended the meetings of city councils, large and small, in person and virtually. None compare to those of Pacifica’s council.

Folks, there are only 42 days left to November election. If Democrats don’t keep a majority in the House and don’t gain Senate seats to have a clear majority, you no longer need to worry about 2024. President Biden will be a lame duck the remainder of his term.

Pacificans and Coastside residents are fortunate to choose between two excellent candidates for county supervisor. My choice is Ray Mueller.
