Paul Walters has led the most outstanding law enforcement <br />department in the state of California as Chief of the Santa Ana Police Department. <br />His philosophy and style of Community Policing has earned him nation -wide <br />awards and recognition. He brings that same experienced leadership, financially and <br />managerially, along with his impeccable integrity to his role as our City Manager. There <br />is no one who could be a replacement for Paul in the position of managing the city <br />because he is, and has always been, at the top of the scale in his business dealings, in his <br />education and in his solid experience. <br />Please don't let politics drive this issue. To put it in context it was Abraham <br />Lincoln who said, "There was an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once <br />and said it is not best to swap horses when crossing streams." It is imperative that <br />you give Paul Walters, to the best benefit of our city, the opportunity to finish the <br />remarkably stellar job that he has begun. <br />onal Regards, <br />�chael 1 : Harrah <br />Caribou Industries <br />President 8r CEO <br />Santa Ana CA <br />1 103 North Broadway, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Tel: (714) 543 -9484 Fax: (714) 543 -9972 <br />
