As a mobile home owner in Santee I enthusiastically support Jim and his quest for a seat on the City Council in Santee. Jim has shown his leadership both in his park of Meadowbrook and in the City in general.
At Meadowbrook he is a champion in the litigation with Manufactured Home Communities, also known as Equity Life Style Properties, owned by billionaire Sam Zell who bought the park at a bargain basement price in a 16-park package. MHC / ELS soon demanded a one time payment of an average $900.00 from each resident as a back payment of monies they claim was owed them but in reality, was not. This park owner's total disregard for the economic situation of some of the seniors living in that park was a total disgrace.
Five years later that park owner has been defeated in lawsuit after lawsuit and is still threatening Meadowbrook residents in a merciless campaign against our senior citizens, many who lived through World War II. I call that generation the Last Great Generation as they have the integrity, fortitude, courage and principles that some of the more recent generations seem to have lost along the way.
As a member of the "Independent Citizens Oversight Committee," Jim is carefully watching to make sure the 60 million dollars we citizens of Santee voted in to modernize our local schools is spent to provide the end results the bond measure promised.
Trusted by former employers with programs with multi-million dollar budgets, Jim Montague is well prepared to see that the City of Santee maintains the fiscally responsible budgets that we have been accustomed to.
I urge you to cast your vote for James G. Montague on November 4.
