This commentary (“Lompoc is at a very dangerous crossroads,” Oct. 6) by Justin Ruhge is misleading in two primary ways. First, Mr. Ruhge says the motorsports park is being paid for by taxpayers. Second, Mr. Ruhge omits that the motorsports park has won a $1 million grant to pay for the project. It’s hard to say if these errors were intentional or not, but either way they cause the commentary to be misleading.
I’m not a part of the motorsports park, but I am a supporter of John Linn becoming mayor. It’s cool for other people to have different opinions than my own so long as they do not make false claims.
Thank you for providing your paper as a place for people to voice their opinions.
