| According to Arcadia First, Caruso’s development ( and puzzlingly only Caruso) will generate millions of extra cars. How can that be? Presumably because the Caruso development will be so much better than the Westfield one that millions of people will want to come and enjoy it - otherwise why aren’t they coming now? |

| Santa Anita Park recently released a statement to the city and Arcadia Wins! clarifying for the umpteenth time that the track has no plans for any casino games or bingo at the property.
Legitmate questions are fair game. Knowingly disseminating inflammatory half-truths and innuendo without first checking the facts or offering the accused an opportunity to respond -- especially in a faux "newspaper" -- is beyond unethical and shameful journalism and even beyond good clean competition. It is disrespectful to the very entity most Arcadians are trying to preserve because of its multiple values to the core of the city. |

| Westfield is responsible for much of that increasing traffic congestion they are sending you pictures of.
What you should be asking yourself is:
* Would you rather leave things staus quo and allow Westfield to continue to expand and generate more traffic even if The Shops at Santa Anita is never built?
* Or would you rather see approval of a development that offsets all new car trips it generates as well as the additional car trips being generated by Westfield? |

| • Congrats to Westfield for finally adding their Car Count system
• Arcadia's planned traffic signal integration requires Caruso funding for first phase completion.
• Caruso engineer turns Arcadia traffic into aerial computer animation for study, improvements and city use.
• School drop-off/pick-up traffic congestion needs a Green Initiative by Arcadians -- current limited school bus service details...

| We can allow ourselves to be frightened by numbers like 1 MILLION new car trips and wind up with no new Shops and traffic that will continue to get worse anyway with no money to improve it, or we can provide input and listen carefully to a rare proposal by a developer who is offering to spend $10 mil. - $15 mil. of his own money to improve our city streets and intersections so that we can spend less time in our cars. |

| There are some really nice people working at Westfield Santa Anita mall.
We believe the Shops at Santa Anita will be good for the city, good for the people, good for the schools, good for the race track, good for property owners, good for taxpayers, and even good for the Westfield mall.
If only the owners of the mall were as welcoming as their employees. |

| Arcadia traffic will continue to get worse... With all the improvements Caruso is prepared to undertake, 16 of the only 20 intersections impacted by the Shops at Santa Anita will show BETTER traffic flows in 2009 than if nothing was built at all. Caruso may be the only developer who may be willing to undertake such costly traffic improvements... |

| I’m sure if we end up with an Indian casino on the Santa Anita parking lot, Westfield will be ecstatic…much more traffic, but no competition to their mall.
If those 6,201 of you who fell for Westfield’s political scare tactics don’t believe that can happen, wake up and smell the coffee. |

| I can’t begin to describe the discontent I felt when I woke up Wednesday morning only to see that Measures N & P had passed.
I thought the citizens of Arcadia were smarter than this. |

| My wife and I woke up on election morning to see that the two "No on N & P" signs in our front and side yards had been stolen.
Later that day we saw that yard signs reading "Yes on N, P & I" had been placed without permission in Arcadia business districts. |
