Mr. Cotta has not taken a position on the China Lake issue arguably the most important economic issue for the China area.

In that respect he has not been any different from any other politician that has represented China in the past many years.

China Lake and the China area needs a hero, a politician who is more interested in doing the right thing than simply having the narcissistic high of being elected to State office.

Mr. Cotta if you want my vote please, take a position, one way or the other, on the China Lake issue or simply don’t run again. Not having a position on this issue begs the question, do you have a position on other important issues and why don’t you have a position on this one?

Come out of the closet Mr. Cotta and tell us what you think about the issue of why China Lake is so polluted and who is responsible for that problem. Lets get a dialog started between you and the affected parties and get to the bottom of the question.

Please Mr. Cotta, don’t just pretend the issue does not exist. Keeping your head down, not taking a stand and keeping out of the controversy is not Statesmen like, it’s just being another politician.report abuse
