My name is Arthur Schaper, a resident of Torrance, CA, and a
long-time writer and reported on events timeless and timely, political,
cultural, and eternal.

Hermosa Beach has some of those timeless and timely
qualities, high-performing schools, great weather, a beautiful beach front. The city has also faced pressing issues on
maintaining those good schools and a high quality of life without going over
budget or facing bankruptcy.

There is an ugly side to Hermosa Beach showings its face,
too however. I am not talking about Big Oil, or the E and B operations which would
have brought millions of revenue to this city.

The Big Green Agenda, which has shown its face bullying face
again and again in this city.
again and again in this city.
Not just in social media, but activists or perhaps domestic
terrorists, trespassing on individual
residents’ property, vandalism, defacing of lawn signs has become the norm in
this otherwise peaceful town.

For all the Environmental activists who chant about ending
the abuse, and “Stomp Out Bullying”, one would that think that would follow
their own advice.

There are two clear political targets of this Big Green
Bullying, which has included lies, attacks, and outright slander: Trent Larsen
and Ken Hartley

In spite of the fear-mongering and petty intimidation, I am
not afraid to stand before this council and declare: I support two candidates
for Hermosa Beach city Council: Trent Larsen and Ken Hartley.

They know about the problems facing the city: pension
liabilities, sewer repair, maintaining law and order, peace and safety in this
city.

They understand that city councils exist to serve the best
interests of all residents, not just the interest groups who shout the loudest,
or intimidate the most.

City councils should not be was ting time on banning Styrofoam,
or plastic bags. Really? What did a plastic bag ever do to you or me? Plastic Bans
are useless and unnecessary, needlessly divisive, or simple political
diversionary tactics used to promote desperate politicians in long-shot
elections.

A beautiful Hermosa Beach, free of illiberal Big Green bullying and empty forays
into environmentalist fantasies, is a beautiful thing for every community in
the South Bay.
