I would like to express my thanks to SLO County 4th District Supervisor Lynn Compton, her staff, and the county’s Public Works Department for a very aggressive response to a traffic safety concern in Nipomo.
I have been a resident of Nipomo for 18 years near the intersection of West Tefft Street and Mesa Road. As the area has grown for these years, the traffic changes at this location have led to many incidents.
When this was taken to Supervisor Compton with a plan, the response was support and action. When work is needed to restore or improve any neighborhood, there are many events that happen between idea and performance. The county Public Works Department is far beyond the expected response since the time of our initial contact. Impressive amount of planning work is already completed.
I look forward to witnessing the restoration of existing safety installations and completion of the future installations to keep our Nipomo community safe.

Jimmy Paulding would have handled it better. Please join the countywide Republican/ Democratic coalition in support of Jimmy Paulding for San Luis Obispo County Supervisor. Change is good!
Lynn Compton lives in Nipomo. It’s no surprise that she has spent so much of her time as Supervisor feathering her own nest, while treating other well-populated areas of her district as if they were “sh..holes” that she can’t be bothered about and rarely, if ever, sets foot in. Should we be surprised that Compton is a Trump supporter? Sorry, Mrs. Compton, but we don’t need more selfish Trumpist attitudes in the South County, nor do we need a supervisor who is dong the dirty work for behind-the-scenes lobbyists of the worst sort.
Voters need to do the research and find out what is really going on. The Compton Problem will not go away until someone more qualified, more competent and more honest is elected in her place. Fortunately the opportunity for the long-needed change is coming up in a few months.
