District transfers cost money and taxpayers must pay
     After reading The Acorn's ar- ticle about meeting last year's (Oak Park School District) enroll- ment numbers by "increasing out of district students," we could not help but think how last year's tax increase was going to feed the dis- trict monster instead for focusing on the needs of the com

Future depends on school bond
     Please join me in support of Proposition H6. I have lived in Oak Park for 29 years. I moved here just as the Oak Park Unified School District was formed. All three of my children graduated from Oak Park High. I have seen the district expand and the com- munity completion become

Says Oak Park bond is bloated
     Superintendent Tony Knight ( The Acorn , Sept. 28) is again sounding the alarm about the sup- posedly run-down, even unsafe, state of the Oak Park Schools. "We don't have the money to cover major costs like new roofs," he says. So he wants voters to ap- prove a brand new bond

Against Lowe's
     We are opposed to a Lowe's in Westlake Village. This big box warehouse sitting right next to the 101 Freeway and the entrance to our city does not fit the image of Westlake Village. Besides, we al- ready have three similar busi- nesses within a 10-mile radius.

City will maintain Lowe's control
     Will the City Council be able to control design and mainte- nance of the Town Center if Measure Z is passed? Just like my vote on Measure Z, the an- swer is yes. Opponents think they can toss out words like "hands will be tied" and Westlake Village residents will accept that.

Measure Z full of 'surprises'
     Calling those who oppose Measure Z, whether directly or by implication, untruthful and lacking in integrity is not only uncalled for, unproductive and hurtful, it's wrong.

Lowe's pays to play
     Lowe's has set aside $500,000 to make an end run around the Westlake City Council and get Proposition Z passed. This is mind-boggling for our little vil- lage and we should all convey to

No fine dining at Lowe's
      I was so happy to see that Councilmember Jim Bruno and Mayor Sue McSweeny know what the citizens of Westlake want vs. Councilmember Klessig. Let's face it, Klessig supports Lowe's. Shame on her for deceiving everyone by calling it a Town Center. Call it what it is- a Lowe's. The
