Editor:

Kudos to Bill Bauer on his beautifully written piece, "Chain of Fools," My Write, March 3\. It should be required reading for all Santa Monica taxpayers.

It illustrates how City Hall seems to be ruling by decree, ignoring the opinions of those pesky Santa Monica residents.

Maybe it's time for the voters to cause their own "Chain Reaction."
