Editor,

There has been a lot of misinformation floating around about the city treasurer, including the gross error of attributing the entire departmental budget to the treasurer’s salary. There is publicly available documentation showing that of the $160,000 budget for the department; the salary is $77,400 – less than half.

The department will have expenses and benefits regardless of whom we elect, and voters deserve accurate facts to make a fully-informed decision next week. Misstatements like this should not happen. I also know Laura as a Rotarian. She has always been an active participate in many of our fundraisers and other activities like our dictionary program, Thanksgiving dinners we put together for 90 well deserving families and other projects.

In this election there is only one person who is qualified: sitting Treasurer Laura Parisi, CPA. Under her 17-year stewardship, city funds have grown and there has been consistently accurate, transparent reporting to the city and its taxpayers. Laura has always served us very well and I have no doubt that she will continue to do so.

The caliber of the treasury professionals who have endorsed Laura is further proof of her superior qualifications. They include former county treasurer (and current State Senator ) John Moorlach; former state Treasurer Bill Lockyer; Orange County Schools Superintendent Al Mijares, Ph.D.; Orange County Auditor Controller Eric Woolery, CPA; Andy Dunn, Ed.D.: Gary Capata, chairman of the Orange County Treasury Oversight Committee, and of course retired Laguna Beach Treasurer Susan Morse.

These professionals have endorsed Laura. I am voting for Laura Parisi for city treasurer and I encourage you to do the same.

 

John L. Campbell, Laguna Beach
