MB WEEKLY EXCLUSIVE COMMENTARY:
HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY
by Paul Wafer
The City Council meeting on February 17th included a mid-year budget review and projection. Libby Bretthauer started her presentation by presenting this year’s adopted budget and proceeded to review several adjustments and carryovers from the prior year. There were also several areas where expenses exceeded budget projections that were reviewed.
The original budget showed a deficit of $2 million based on the Bond issued for the purchase of the 400 Manhattan Bch Blvd. The mid-year projected budget now shows a deficit of $4.4 million. That is a variance of $2.4 million! Interestingly, the key expenses over budget were Salaries, Benefits and Contracted Services, totaling $2.4 million.
After the presentation, Mayor Lesser asked the bottom-line question, “Where are we?” Ms. Bretthauer responded, “so we are looking at dipping into fund balance if all of our projections are accurate, however we, over several years, we’ve gone back and researched this again just recently, to our revenues traditionally we are very conservative in our estimate and then end the year higher, the expenditures always come in under our estimate so I very much believe that we will in the year in a better position.” As any financial advisor will tell you, “Prior history is not guarantee of future returns.”
There were no questions or discussion regarding measures to try and reduce the projected deficit by years end. What is wrong with this picture?

The Faces of Manhattan Beach
Grace Adams
(Executive Director of Round House Aquarium)
Q: THE ROUNDHOUSE AQUARIUM SITS AT THE END OF THE MANHATTAN BEACH PIER – ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC LOCATIONS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. HOW DO YOU BALANCE BEING BOTH A BELOVED TOURIST DESTINATION AND A SERIOUS MARINE EDUCATION CENTER?
A: Being located at the end of the Manhattan Beach Pier is incredibly special. The pier brings people to the ocean’s edge – and we see ourselves as the gateway that helps them understand what they’re looking at. We’re proud to be part of the local economy, drawing visitors who support surrounding businesses, but our deeper role is as a community-based marine science education center. The balance works because inspiration and education don’t compete – they reinforce one another. A family may walk in because it’s a fun stop on the pier, but they leave understanding tides, food webs, climate impacts, and the role our daily choices play in ocean health. One of the most important messages we share is that the ocean doesn’t start at the shoreline – it starts at our doorstep. Everything in our watershed, from the mountains to the sea, is interconnected. Rain that falls inland travels through storm drains and rivers and eventually reaches the Santa Monica Bay. What we do in our neighborhoods – how we manage waste, water, landscaping – directly affects what happens beneath the pier. When visitors grasp that connection, the aquarium becomes more than an attraction. It becomes a bridge between community life and ocean stewardship.
Q: IN YOUR VIEW, WHAT IS THE SINGLE BIGGEST THREAT TO OUR LOCAL OCEAN ECOSYSTEM RIGHT NOW – AND WHAT CAN EVERYDAY MANHATTAN BEACH FAMILIES DO, STARTING THIS WEEKEND, TO HELP?
A: The biggest threat to our local ocean ecosystem is cumulative human impact – especially pollution and climate stress working together. But what many people don’t realize is that much of that pollution originates far from the beach. We encourage families to think in terms of the entire watershed. Every storm drain in Manhattan Beach flows to the ocean. Fertilizers, trash, motor oil, pet waste – if they’re left on streets or sidewalks, they don’t just disappear. They travel to the ocean. Families can make a real difference by doing simple things in their daily lives: Pick up litter in your neighborhood, not just on the sand. Reduce single-use plastics. Avoid overusing fertilizers and pesticides. Properly dispose of household chemicals. Talk with your children about how mountains, neighborhoods, and beaches are connected. When people understand that ocean conservation begins at home, behavior shifts. Stewardship becomes part of everyday life, not just something you think about at the shore.
Q: OVER THE PAST DECADE, HAVE YOU SEEN NOTICEABLE CHANGES IN MARINE LIFE PATTERNS OFF OUR COAST? ARE THERE SPECIES APPEARING – OR DISAPPEARING – THAT SHOULD CONCERN US?
A: Yes, we’ve seen shifts tied to warming waters, marine heatwaves, and changing ocean conditions. Subtropical species occasionally appear farther north, while some cold-water species become less common during warm periods. We’ve also seen major impacts from sea star wasting disease, which altered tidepool ecosystems significantly. What’s important for the community to understand is that these changes aren’t isolated events. Ocean conditions are influenced by atmospheric systems, freshwater runoff, and global climate patterns. It’s all connected – from mountain snowpack to coastal kelp forests. That interconnectedness reinforces why local education matters. When communities understand how regional and global systems overlap, they’re better equipped to respond thoughtfully.
Q: IF YOU COULD WAVE A MAGIC WAND AND IMPLEMENT ONE BOLD MARINE CONSERVATION POLICY STATEWIDE TOMORROW, WHAT WOULD IT BE – AND WHY?
A: I would make comprehensive watershed and ocean literacy education a required, experiential part of every student’s education in California. If every child understood how water moves from mountains to the sea – and how human behavior shapes that journey – we would cultivate a generation that sees environmental stewardship as practical, local, and personal. Regulation is important, but long-term conservation depends on an informed public. When people understand systems, they make better decisions – as voters, consumers, and community members.
Q: WHAT MOMENT IN YOUR CAREER AT THE ROUNDHOUSE AQUARIUM MOST REAFFIRMED FOR YOU THAT EDUCATING CHILDREN ABOUT THE OCEAN TRULY CHANGES BEHAVIOR FOR LIFE?
A: One of the most powerful moments is when a child realizes that the ocean isn’t “out there” – it’s connected to their home. I’ve seen students come back and tell us they corrected their parents about washing paint into the gutter or reminded friends not to litter because “it goes straight to the ocean.” When a child begins to see storm drains, sidewalks, and rainfall as part of a living system that ends beneath the pier, that’s when education becomes transformation. That’s why the Roundhouse Aquarium matters. We’re not just interpreting marine life at the edge of the Pacific – we’re helping our community understand that from the mountains to the sea, we are all connected.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO THE LOCAL REAL ESTATE MARKET ?
Mortgage rates have fallen below 6% for the first time in more than three years, offering a glimmer of hope that a frozen housing market may be set to thaw. The average 30-year mortgage rate in the U.S. fell to 5.98%, the mortgage-financing giant Freddie Mac said, down from nearly 7% around the same time last year. The last time the rate was below 6% was in September 2022.
** JESSIQA PACE (Senior Real Estate Specialist): The real estate market has been cautious at best for the last two years. Interest rates are a key factor for this reluctance, particularly in the South Bay, where affordability continues to challenge young first time home buyers. I have had several buyers waiting on the fence for the last two years, hesitant to enter the market because of higher borrowing costs. Many buyers are renewing their efforts to search for a home because rates are pushing just below 6%. That said, in Manhattan Beach, demand remains high, driven by its beaches, highly regarded school district, and exceptional quality of life. In this segment of the market, buyers tend to be less sensitive to interest rates. Instead, Manhattan Beach buyers are focused on long-term value and ensuring they are paying the right price for a premier coastal property.
** ED KAMINSKY (Kaminsky Real Estate Group): I had a different answer until the Iran situation popped up this weekend. With 30-year mortgage rates dipping below 6% for the first time in more than three years, we’re starting to see movement in the South Bay, particularly at the high end in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach. Rates matter because they drive affordability and, just as importantly, confidence. But this shift isn’t about one factor alone. Since rates spiked in mid-2022, activity slowed dramatically, creating significant pent-up demand. Many homeowners have delayed moves for years, and that pressure builds over time. Locally, we’re also seeing Palisades families who relocated to Manhattan Beach after the fires now transitioning from renters to buyers. In addition, SpaceX employees are tapping into their stock options that are about create many instant millionaires. They are entering the market with strong purchasing power. Pent-up demand, improved rates, and new high-income buyer pools are creating upward pressure. I have seen very significant high-end sales records take place in February. That said, global uncertainty with the recent events in Iran adds a layer of unpredictability. There’s always push and pull, but momentum was definitely improving in the South Bay.

Manhattan Beach School News:
** Supreme Court Ruling Prompts Response From MBUSD: Following a 6–3 unsigned decision by the U.S. Supreme Court blocking a California policy that restricted school employees from informing parents about a child’s gender identity changes, MB Weekly sought comment from local officials. Grace Edgington, Public Information Officer for the Manhattan Beach Unified School District (MBUSD), offered a concise response. “MBUSD follows and complies with all laws and court decisions,” Edgington stated. The ruling has sparked statewide discussion regarding parental notification policies and student privacy. For now, MBUSD’s position is clear: the district will align its practices with prevailing law and court guidance.
** 30 Jobs Axed At Cash-Strapped MBUSD: The Manhattan Beach Unified School District Board of Directors voted February 25 to slash roughly 30 jobs and shrink multiple departments as the district grapples with mounting financial strain. In a series of resolutions, the board approved layoffs impacting temporary, probationary, and tenured teachers, along with classified staff and certificated management. Some employees will lose their positions outright, while others will see reduced hours or be reassigned to new duties. Notices go out March 15.
** Skechers’ $2.7 Million Gift To South Bay Schools: The Skechers Foundation delivered a major boost to local classrooms donating $2.7 million to South Bay education foundations during its annual Appreciation Event. The Friendship Foundation received $1 million, followed by the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation ($280,000), El Segundo Education Foundation ($212,900), Peninsula Education Foundation ($290,000), Torrance Education Foundation ($425,000), Hermosa Beach Education Foundation ($283,080), and the Redondo Beach Educational Foundation ($225,000).

THE MB WHISPERER:
by Melanie C.
*** Our police chief wants a deputy chief instead of two patrol officers, which makes perfect sense if criminals quake at the sight of a revised org chart rather than a black-and-white cruiser turning the corner. *** Need printer ink? Try Toner Society. They’re terrific – and unlike your printer, they don’t hold your wallet hostage. Bonus: lower prices on Amazon. *** Some DoorDash drivers in Manhattan Beach restaurants behave as if basic manners were an elective they proudly skipped. *** If you haven’t visited the Reagan Presidential Museum, go. Truly. The Air Force One alone makes you stand a little taller – and reminds you when presidents waved from the stairs instead of from teleprompters. *** Urban Plates before the pandemic: 70% dine-in. Now? 40%, with takeout exploding. Apparently, we’ve decided pants with elastic waistbands are the future of American dining. *** I believe I have now witnessed the escalators at Metlox functioning two consecutive days. Mark the calendar. Call Ripley’s. Miracles do happen. *** And yes – when Bread Head first opened, they charged $27 for a tuna sandwich. For that price, I assumed the tuna had a LinkedIn profile and strong references. ***Have a tip for The MB Whisperer, send it to: MBWeekly@TimeWire.net

MB WEEKLY – COMMENTARY:
by Fred Taylor (Manhattan Beach)
Recently on Friday, the 20th, Mira Costa students left class to protest ICE. The administration was in support; Including asking teachers to postpone any tests scheduled for the walkout. How accommodating! Or should I say ‘enabling’. I’m a Constitutional Conservative so naturally, I support protesting; However, the kids are doing it on our dime. Don’t we pay excessive real estate taxes to live in this berg and support our schools, not to mention our Federal tax dollars richly assist MBUSD’s annual budget. But, even more concerning is what they are protesting. They’re opposed to the legal enforcement of our immigration laws which the previous administration, can I say, totally violated. Does the name Laken Riley ring a bell?? She and scores of our precious daughters have been assaulted, … by illegals. Our Costa kids are supporting that, not to mention our ‘sanctuary state’ status in California. So, this begs the question… what are our kids being taught about right and wrong, about our legal system and the rule of law??? Don’t forget, we no longer have a King and Queen for Homecoming… it’s two ‘Monarchs’, typically boys. Wokeness sadly is alive and prospering at MBUSD.

MB WEEKLY – COMMENTARY:
by J.T. (Hermosa Beach)
Words should not mask reality, yet that is precisely their modern vocation. “Homelessness” is not a diagnosis; it is a marketing slogan – soft, sentimental, and carefully engineered to anesthetize the taxpayer. It conjures a man temporarily down on his luck, a family awaiting one benevolent shove back into bourgeois respectability. What it does not convey is what our eyes plainly see: human wreckage requiring treatment, sustained counseling, and – heresy of heresies – tough love. Now the word has been laundered again, this time into “unhoused,” a term that suggests a mere zoning mishap as if a roof were the missing variable, and not addiction, mental illness, and moral collapse. The so-called “Homeless Industrial Complex” is itself an evasion. Los Angeles has constructed something closer to a cartel: a protected economic ecosystem, flush with public money, immune to results, and cloaked in moral sanctimony. NGOs dutifully perform the ritual, extracting vast sums while outcomes evaporate. Cartels need not be criminal. They need only predictable funding, negligible accountability, and political protection. Los Angeles, with tragic efficiency, has supplied all three.

MB WEEKLY – COMMENTARY:
by Bob Holmes (Former Three-Term Manhattan Beach Councilman and Mayor)
The primary responsibility of our City Council is public safety. Many aspects of city government are important, but public safety inarguably is number 1. There was a proposal in front of Council to authorize a newly created position of Assistant Police Chief. In the many years I have lived here, and certainly during the many years I have been active in public life, we have never had this position. It is unnecessary, plain and simple. This expensive new position (including pension and benefits, it will cost the taxpayers approaching $300,000 year) was supposed to be funded by not filling two previously authorized slots for sworn police officers (the type who actually patrol or work in the Detective Bureau for example) and using those budgeted salary dollars to pay for this unnecessary managerial employee. This is outrageous. A previous Council authorized the addition of 7 new sworn officer positions. Only 5 have been filled so far. We do not need to add to our executive staff. Many in the community have voiced the opinion that our city is overstaffed as is. This should have been an easy proposal to reject and then just move on to the rest of the agenda. The same council members who pushed so hard for the creation of another unnecessary newly created position, Deputy City Manager, supported this fiscally irresponsible proposal. Our police department already has 1 Chief, 2 Captains, 5 Lieutenants, and 11 Sergeants. This is more than enough supervisory/management personnel for a department with a sworn officer strength of only 72. When a resident or business owner has a police problem, it is an officer (or in some cases, a Sergeant) who responds, not a manager or administrator. When this matter returns to Council, it should be promptly rejected and the Chief and the H.R. Director should be instructed to fill those two slots as quickly as possible. To do otherwise is absolutely fiscally irresponsible.

by Russ Lesser (Former Mayor)
I am not an expert on how a police department should be organized but I hate to see fewer officers on the street and more people in administration just as I hate to see that in any department. I also believe the main reason crime has dropped is not due to anything Manhattan Beach has done but is due to replacing District Attorney George Gascon with Nathan Hockman and the overwhelming passage of Proposition 36 which reclassified certain crimes such as shoplifting back to what they historically had been.

Realtor Stewart Fournier Backs MB Police Chief, Urges Community To Trust Results:
Local realtor Stewart Fournier is publicly supporting Manhattan Beach Police Chief Rachel Johnson amid criticism from a group of residents who frequently challenge City Hall. While acknowledging the value of civic watchdogs, Fournier questioned claims that city leaders are not listening, noting that critics often rely on a “self-described clickbait newsletter” to amplify their concerns. Fournier emphasized that crime has declined since her arrival and urged residents to judge leadership by measurable results, not rhetoric, and to carefully examine the motivations behind persistent outside criticism.
1. ** Let’s cut the nonsense. When corruption and cartels run wild, citizens pay the price. Politicians posture, criminals prosper, and regular families dodge the fallout! Mexico belongs in the hall of fame of corrupt countries. —- Dr. Vincent E., Hermosa Beach
2. ** I agree with Tim Hageman’s recent MB Weekly piece. In 49 years, I never see an MBPD officer on foot. Are they in a “witness protection program.” BTW, $1.9 Million of overtime would buy us 17 new officers. How ‘bout new leadership instead of a Deputy? —- Fred Taylor, Manhattan Beach
3. ** Oh, God…consider this – We have all kicked a pregnant woman. —- Mallory M
4. ** Big news for stylish South Bay families: Pottery Barn Kids is coming to Manhattan Village! It’ll join Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Williams Sonoma, making the center a serious home-and-lifestyle powerhouse. —- Manhattan Village
5. ** In a 1995 CBS News 48 Hours segment, Dan Rather opened the report with this warning: “Anger over immigration. Americans fired and replaced by foreigners. Schools and hospitals are strained to the limit. Criminal aliens on our streets. Should America slam the door?” Everything the media attacks conservatives for saying today, they said themselves 30 years ago. —- TJF, Manhattan Beach
6. ** El Segundo is welcoming a new Fire Chief. City Manager Darrell George announced that Division Chief Ryan Allee, a nearly 25-year veteran of the El Segundo Fire Department, will take the helm. Allee says it’s an honor to serve and remains committed to delivering the highest level of emergency services. —- Editor’s Note
7. ** DEI: Destroying Education through Indoctrination. Spare me the sanctimony. If “diversity” is so sacred, try diversifying ideas. The next time some tenured moralist lectures you about inclusion, ask how many Republicans sit in their sociology department. —- Dr. Mark S.
8. ** We are under a spiritual assault. God has been pushed from our schools and sidelined in our culture. The Judeo-Christian foundations that shaped this nation are ignored or mocked. When faith is erased from public life, purpose erodes. A country that forgets its moral compass risks losing its soul. —- Holly M., Hermosa Beach
9. ** Manhattan Beach residents, your City Manager needs your help! Our Budget Survey is still open, and your voice matters. Your feedback helps guide how we invest in services, infrastructure, and our community’s future. https://www.manhattanbeach.gov/…/budget-and-accounting
10. ** A coalition of Jewish parents and civil rights groups has filed the first antisemitism lawsuit against a U.S. state, accusing the wonderful liberal state of California of failing to protect Jewish students amid rising harassment and violence. The suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, calls the state’s response “toothless” and painfully slow. —- Jason G.
11. ** Terry Charles Lunn, 79, of Manhattan Beach formerly of Peru, Illinois, passed away December 11, 2025. He built a 36-year career at TRW/NGAS as Radiation Operations Manager, overseeing critical testing of advanced X-ray and Gamma systems for industry and the U.S. government.
12. ** At The Kettle, sometimes it’s the parents who need reprimanding – not the children. —- Patricia B.
13. ** David Hadley’s article was “just the facts, sir” about President Trump’s accomplishments, without the emotion that so many other critics display. I’m looking forward to his next article, which will review President Trump’s policies that haven’t gone so well. David will also suggest some ways to improve the results of the Trump agenda. One suggestion I have for all Republicans: quit blaming Biden. Biden most likely wasn’t running the country. Blame the Democrats. The Democrats are the ones who drove the country into the ground, and continue to ruin the states (California, etc.) —- Steve D., Manhattan Beach
14. ** I was concerned when Sketchers took over Sepulveda Blvd. But now TWO high rises in Manhattan Beach?! This is no longer a cute little beach town. It is a haven for property developers who live on the hill. Awful, awful trend. Who’s lining whose pockets for this? —- Vida Holguin
15. ** I love the MB Whisperer! —- Mark Burton, Manhattan Beach
16. ** Mike Detoy was unanimously elected mayor of Hermosa Beach Tuesday night, urging civility amid rising misinformation and anonymous online attacks. The Council also named Michael Keegan mayor pro tem in a 4-1 vote, with Ray Jackson dissenting, signaling tensions over tradition and the city’s increasingly divided political climate. —- Editor’s Note
17. ** Since 1953, Mickey’s Deli has been a Hermosa Beach staple. Now it’s heading to North Redondo, opening Saturday at Inglewood and Artesia. The new Redondo Chicken Cutlet debuts – free for the first 100 customers. “Now seemed like the perfect time,” said Mickey Mance. —- Editor’s Note
18. ** Scouting America just announced that it “will modify its policy to make clear that membership will be based solely on biological sex at birth and not gender identity.” A small step for sanity. —- Max(well) G.
19. ** I hate paper straws. —- D.L., Hermosa Beach
20. ** I passionately support financial literacy classes at Mira Costa High School. Our students deserve real-world skills – how to budget, invest, avoid debt, understand credit, and build wealth. Algebra matters. Shakespeare matters. But so does knowing how money works. Let’s prepare our kids not just for college, but for life. It’s called common sense. —- Carol D.
21. ** CITY OF TORRANCE NEW JOB ANNOUNCEMENT- ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT I. We will accept the first 100 applications received beginning Monday, March 2, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. To apply, visit us at: www.TorranceCA.Gov/Jobs.

22. ** Interesting that the Easy Reader states there is an $8.9 million surplus, while Libby’s own slides show a $4.4 million projected deficit. With Salaries, benefits, and contract services currently over budget by $2.4 million, do you really think we need to add more positions? —- Paul Wafer
23. ** After the February 16 storms, stoplights at Rosecrans and Sepulveda flashed red, causing heavy backups south of Marine. Pedestrians struggled to cross amid impatient drivers. When I called MBPD, dispatch said it was CalTrans’s responsibility and that it was too unsafe to send an officer. Too unsafe for police, but not for pedestrians? —- D.H., Manhattan Beach
24. ** Keep MB a beach town! Don’t let it become a big city that just happens to be next to a beach, like Santa Monica is now! —- H.F., Manhattan Beach
