Well, there you go again making false accusations, that I skirted around the residency issue in the last election: I completely reject that allegation, it is untrue, has no basis in fact at all, and is completely and totally made up. In fact, in the forums we were all asked to state where we lived, ...

They are energetic, but they may be energentic too- but thats a genetic thing...I thincenic...lol

This is great news ! We are fortunate to have a facility that supports health here in American Canyon. This will be a great outlet (other than AC online Issa) for venting frustrations in a positive way, and a healthy way. Studies have shown that those who exercise 1 hour a day on a regular basis, ga...

My vote for Mayor has not been decided YET!. Oh I think it has, and you are being insincere here. You have accused me of " skirting around the issues" in another post, and have contributed to the "whispering campaign" by your comments of "who knows where he lives or doesn't...

Paul Maguire

Don,

Best wishes in your campaign. The city is fortunate to have you as a candidate for city council.

If hte new ordinance passed, it does not take effect for 30 days, unless, it is an emergency ordinan...

Paul Maguire

Correct, we need new blood, and that has been stated by you and others, by the newspaper, and most importantly, by the voters in wanting an elected Mayor. The only NEW BLOOD running for Mayor is Paul Maguire. As for experience , my track record of successes in business and in life speaks for itself.

Paul Maguire

Oh nothing SA meant about it ac94503, those involved know about it. Basically, its a small clique using email and calling the city to stir up corral dust. Nothing new. Just flys in the face of "playing nice", thats the only reason I brought it up. Like I said, not interested in promoting i...

Paul Maguire

Since the three of us are breaking new ground here, I wanted to wish you the best publicly before the campaigning begins. You know, it is so easy to be nice in the beginning, and sometimes not so easy in the middle or towards the end. Hopefully this campaign won't get personal or mean spirited like ...

Hi Matt... Can I tell you that was probably the most educational, intelligent, well thought out posts, I have ever read on AC online. Your clearly a brilliant guy, and I hope you post more often. It is easy to get fired up with all that is going on, and MCBiz brings up the point that there is injust...

Paul Maguire

I am excited to see how this Mayoral election plays out. Hopefully everyone is respectful and human towards others - and that includes those who post on this forum. Can we ALL play nice? Well Mel, only someone super cool like you would ask such a question, and all I can say is, I hope so. Although ...

Paul Maguire

Thank you for your good wishes. In my view, everything happens for a reason. An elected Mayor ( vs an appointed one) has the blessing of the voters directly. This past election the voters said they wanted an elected Mayor, and this November, they are going to get one. Nothing could be worse for the ...

Paul Maguire

Dear Fellow aconliner's Thank you for the number of you that have suggested I run again for city council and for those who supported me in June. Your comments and support are appreciated. Thanks for the private messages and all the encouragement too. But I will not be running for city council this t...

Paul Maguire

Don Callison is going to run anyway. Cecil is running and lost 3 times prior before being elected, I admire their persistance.

Paul Maguire

I would hope other council people run as well. I don't feel anyone else is qualified and current to run. Well if thats the case, then why have an elected Mayor at all? Based on your post, the ONLY candidates that would be qualified to run are "council people" because they are "curren...

Now it's US Constitution that protects your right to insult, degrade, humilate and otherwise be mean and indecent to people.

Ya ok.

Mr. Rivera should resign immediately from the Parks and Rec Commission. His comments on this thread last Thursday were disrespectful, outrageous, and demonstrate of lack of good character. Further demonstrating this poor character, is the fact that Mr Rivera WILL NOT APOLOGIZE for his demeaning comm...

Paul Maguire

Mr Riveria Here again, you continue, to make claims before you know all the facts. Your presumption is inaccurate, your claims inaccurate. Whatever I said to whomever I said it, was not on a public forum, and any apologies made were not either. So I suggest you ask before making these presumptions. ...

Paul Maguire

The funds over and above the high school are good policy, and good politics. It does make sense to have money in the bond issue for the entire district, as that is fair, and the entire district will be voting on it, making passage more probable. The entire county will be paying for it as well and so...

I am resigning as editor of the Napa Solano Post as of this month, due to other commitments that will be taking a good majority of my time. I enjoyed the opportunity to work with and wish Councilmember Cindy Coffey continued success with her newspaper. It is and continues to be a great asset for adv...

I support bringing a high school here, that is within the affordability of the taxpayers, and that provides a quality education to the students here in American Canyon. American Canyon families are burdened with the transportation to Napa, and the traffic has gotten worse over the years, so the time...

Todays 183 Million Dollar Bond Issue that the Napa Unified School District agreed to put on the ballot, now has the cost of a new American Canyon High School at : 120 Million!!! Unbelievable- 40 million, to 100 Million, to 120 Million! And the big claim today is that the President of the School Boar...

I saw this wastewater fiasco too. The only good I saw about it was that Hess Construction, a local contractor( four corners shopping center, canyon plaza) is doing the repair. I trust that it will be done right this time, once and for all. Regardless of the finger pointing, and blame, it is just ano...

Paul Maguire

Voters election of an elected position v an appointed one for mayor raises many questions in my mind. Most important, what power will this position have ? Will the mayor have an equal vote on the council, or, as some have suggested, have an executive option to override the majority of the council? W...

Paul Maguire

Here is a comparable. American Canyon is proposing a high school of about the same size- this one is 212k sf, and Ac HS is approx 225k sf. This facility has a similar idea of using the HS for both a HS and as a center for public use , library, gym, kitchen, pool, etc. Price: 58 Million dollars. 212,...

Here is a 2005 report out of the state of GA on construction costs.

Of course they are higher in CA, so double them and you still dont break 250 a square foot.

Real numbers.

Paul Maguire

The fact remains that the 100 million dollar number from a 40 million dollar number definately needs to be disected. East/West partners just built a brand new school that is state of the art in Truckee Ca, with Union Labor at prevailing wage- the cost was 37 Million. I believe that includes the land...

Paul Maguire

The Napa Unified School District proposed a cost of 40 million dollars to build a new high school on AC Road and Flosden/Newell Drive. Suddenly, about 1 year later, it is reported they think it will be 100 million. I dont trust them either. Why should we. Lets just say our high school is 100k sq fee...

Paul Maguire

IT is not surprise that American Canyon is looking desperately for land to build more affordable housing. Why? Because American Canyon Officials committed to take on the burden of upvalley affordable housing in a Memo of Understanding- the only problem is, that we dont have anyplace to put most of i...

Thank you for a job well done June 25th 330 am Gadwell Park in the Waterton subdivision. I was awaken by men yelling in the street who I could hear from my home way up on Goldfinch. These guys were cussing at each other and challenging each other to fight. I called 911 and within a matter of minutes...

Here is a link on water and bacteria. When this bacteria they found in the water is tested for and located, it means other bacteria may also be in the water, but they test for this type, because it is quick and easy to detect.

Your comments seem not well thought out. Perhaps you might reconsider. I was one of those that spent alot of money, to get a message out, and to inform this community of the problems it faces, that a good majority don't even know about. To say it was a shame is shameful. It was an investment in comm...

Thank you to all those that supported me and voted for me in this effort to make some positive change in our city. So sorry it didnt go the way we hoped, but thats politics. I wish Joan the best in her new position, and thank all the candidates for a clean campaign. I wish all of you, Ed, Bill, Jame...

Thank you American Canyon for the kindness and respect shown towards me and those who helped me walk the neighborhoods over the last two weeks. Sore and sunburn, happy none the less, we had not one rude comment anywhere. We all lost a little weight, but gained priceless knowledge about the community...

Answers to the questions asked of me Mr. Maguire, Definitely give you kudos for your success in real estate. On the outside, you seem to be the real deal. 1)During the last two elections cycles you've shown up at a few council meetings. Does that, inyour opinion, qualify you for the office? It is o...

An ammended statement was filed today to correct an error. It is available at the city.

Well the Eagle got it half right. What the Eagle failed to realize is that this council needs a savvy type business person who will identify when the city of American Canyon is not getting a fair deal from the county, and prevent it. The biggest land negotiation other than the incorporation from 199...

It never made sense to me that the city maintenance yard was at the end of AC Road on the shoreline. The shoreline and its views are a community asset. Yet, those in leadership positions years ago in this city thought it a great idea to shove a maintenance yard right in the view easement of what are...
