Though registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 35% to 32%, early voting in Encinitas shows that local Republicans are doing more early voting than Democrats.
1,039 Republicans have already voted, compared to 897 Democrats. 14.2% of Republicans who received absentee ballots have voted, compared to 11.5% of Democrats.
Are there any races close enough in Encinitas that turnout even matters? Could council candidate Alan Lerchbacker benefit from this? Have the Republican Party and the Lincoln Club and related groups even been supporting Lerchbacker with mailings?
How many dead Leucadians will vote for Sheila???
ReplyDeleteNot as many as the brain dead over in New Encinitas who vote for Gaspar.
DeleteWaves to ride blog says Gaspar is UN-Encinitas.
ReplyDeleteWOW, talk about the kettle call the pot black.....
1:41 —
ReplyDeleteGaspar as unEncinitas sounds right-on to me. Who are you trying to mislead?
And who are you elitist snob to decide who or what is UN-Encinitas??
Delete4:39 Are you familiar with the word "opinion"? Do you understand its meaning?
DeleteI am a registered Democrat, and I have gotten countless (I lost count) mailers from Lerch and Public safety people. Lerch is spending a lot of money. The mailers are very glossy (expensive paper).
ReplyDeleteIt's too late for Lerch, but I think Gaspar will get in....
Delete48+% of early voters tallied were 65+ or gave no age. 25% were neither Rep or Dem. Most older people are conservative. Those early returns do not represent the final tally of absentees and poll voters. Lerch is not a contender.
ReplyDeleteAs Encinitas Dems fail to acknowledge and address affordable housing, the electorate gets older, wealthier, whiter, and more Republican.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the future.
Encinitas Dems are paving the road to a second act for Jerome Stocks.
Marco?
DeleteAnd less brown?
DeleteWhat's that I hear? Greedy developers fail to address, acknowledge, and actually provide affordable housing in exchange for density bonuses? Yes, that's what I thought I heard you say.
DeleteFlat out wrong, 2:30. Encinitas has gotten more liberal in the last 20 years. Younger people have moved here from other parts of So Cal and California. As the older, more conservative voters pass on, they have been replaced by younger, more liberal voters. Why do you think Busby even had a chance when she ran for Duke's seat?
Delete8:49,
DeleteNice story, no facts.
The median age in Encinitas has slowly and steadily increased over the last decade from 39.2 to 41.5. And the median household size has declined from 2.64 to 2.5, as more families with children have been priced out (that's why Pacific View was closed).
See the table on page 137 of the CAFR (http://archive.ci.encinitas.ca.us/WebLink8/DocView.aspx?id=710335&dbid=0)
Encinitas policies are contributing to a demographic shift that will put pro-development interests in the driver's seat.
There was some gerrymandering done in order to close Pacific View. There were enough children to have kept the enrollment up. But Doug DeVore, Lean King and Tim Baird wanted to be land barons with the public's land, making the public pay a premium, overinflated price for land we already own.
DeleteIt's all about turnout 9:34, Reps are more motivated to vote this time than Dems, so yes, the pro-development side will have the advantage. Overall thought, registration is going the other way.
DeleteThis county was more heavily Rep leaning 20-30 years ago. Encinitas was probably 5-10% more Rep 20 years ago. The big change is the rise in indepedents.
And here are the facts...

Our old congressional district:
Deletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Bilbray#2008_general_election
It's unseemly for Shaffer to bash Gaspar and Muir in her newsletter. She must be confident she won't be in the trampled minority after the election.
ReplyDeleteKranz and Gaspar accommodated the Marrs only because this is an election year. Shaffer and Muir went along. Barth abstained because she had nothing to lose. She's gone shortly after the election.
Shaffer has said she won't run again so I guess she thinks she has nothing to lose. I guess her reputation is not important to her. As far as Gaspar and Kranz, I disagree. I was a part of the citizens who helped, and both of the council members were eager to help make this right. It was Gaspar who came up with the best solutions, and I am not a Gaspar supporter. Lynn's daughter, Nichole, was instrumental in making this work as well. Still don't know why Barth has to be such a jerk by not voting, but abstaining. It again shows how she holds grudges. Rumor has it that Shaffer really didn't want to vote for it either, but somebody must have talked her into it.
Delete6:18, you do know that Gaspar and Kranz are running for mayor, right?
DeleteShaffer has two more years before her term is up and she bows out. She could be in the minority for those two years.
6:25- Yes, I am certainly aware of who is running. But the Marr case has its share of people who would have loved to see them get "screwed". Russ and Lynn can sometimes be a little over the top. SO, in this case, I'm not sure that politics had as much to do with it, as if it had been another case with a more "likable" twosome. And, I was really surprised when all 5 decided to fight the BIA. That doesn't seem to be in Kristin's best interest. Your thoughts?
Delete6:59 —
DeleteIn an election year when both subcommittee members are running for mayor, neither would screw the Marrs or promote that behind the scenes.
To get elected, Gaspar has to appeal broadly. She can't afford to openly support the BIA. And as she found out, she can't even do it semi-secretly.
Did you notice how carefully she endorsed Pacific View and objected only on cost grounds? That was designed to offend as few people as possible.
7:17- You make good points. But Kristin's campaign is being funded by business and developers. That's where I am getting confused. Please continue, as it is nice to have a respectful conversation.
Delete7:20 She's not broadcasting that she's funded by business and developers. Her signs say "Fire and Law Enforcement's Choice." Her mailer says "Protecting Our Quality of Life." That's mush. In 2010, 66.4% of her funding came from out of town. Others have analyzed her funding this year. She didn't come up smelling like a rose.
DeleteI think Teresa did the right thing by not voting on the Marr's issue. That would be a recusal to me, because it's no secret there's some emnity between the Marrs and Teresa, so it would be hard for Teresa to be impartial there.
DeleteKristin will be your mayor, a lot of people won't vote in this off cycle election.
If anyone looked through the now 616 page agenda report re the Marr matter from August 20, there were over forty e-mails and/or public speakers who made the effort to share their support. There was not a single public speaker or a single e-mail or letter sent to the City opposing settlement and resolution.
DeleteThere's probably only one, obsessive cyber-stalker posting here, because he doesn't have to share his name, who was against the settlement of a case that was an embarrassment. Barth's abstention counts with the majority according to the policy that she and Shaffer updated, through their subcommittee.
The Registrar of Voters cannot actually open the envelopes, they can only see if it is a Dem. or Repub. It is interesting to look at the demographics of our city. The largest group is between 50 and 64. So exactly why are we building a 20 million dollar park for younger people? Why are we catering to bicyclists, when most older people don't bike? In fact, why are we not spending a little more money on older folks and their needs, since the major part of the population seems to be 50 and over?
ReplyDeleteMost people between the ages of 50 and 64 that live in Encinitas are very, very active. Many ride bikes (see them on the weekends?), are in the lineup at Swarmi's or riff reef (yes, on SUP's), riding horses in Olivenhain, walking their dogs all over the place, doing pilates andf kettlebells in the park - well you get the picture.
DeleteOn top of that, many adults have delayed having kids, and it's not uncommon to have folks in their 50's with pre-teen and teenage kids. As Weir states - Get out of the door and light out and look all around..............
- The Sculpin
Because most of us will be dead soon. Make that park $80 million to include buying the property and servicing the debt.
Delete4:03,
DeleteThe city recently invested a large amount of money to support the favorite pass time of our older citizens.
Peak Democracy is a place for you to whine and complain.
What is the favorite pastime of our older citizens?
DeleteSculpin- Disagree with some of your thoughts, but oh well. As far as me, I am 67 and cannot ride a bike anymore. I don't waste my time on Peak Democracy either. However, I do love the ocean and I can walk. But, the larger question is this: When all of us die, as 4:19 points out, who is going to pay for all of this? Will the younger people be stuck with such high taxes, and or fees, that these amenities, such as the Park and PV, are going to have to be sold? I wonder if the Council even considered this? When I think of my grown daughters, who cannot afford to live here, and they are white (that one was for Marco) who is going to live here? Gaspar is young as is Blakespear. But the demographics are pretty compelling. I guess others smarter than me have already figured this out. It doesn't really matter to me, as I will be dead before we go broke. I have spoken out as much as I care to and it usually falls on deaf ears. So, as you mentioned, I will go outside, enjoy the beauty that nature has bestowed upon us, do some pilates, and live in my ivory tower. I'm too tired to fight city hall any longer, and younger people don't seem that engaged. It really is their future, not mine. And, that is the irony of all of the protesting. It is old folks, such as 90 year old Bob Bonde who are still trying to maintain the financial health of this City. Go figure.
Delete6:32 What's the residential rental vacancy rate? Do condo and house sales take an unusually long time to turn over? There have been many big and smaller new developments. Do the places sell?
DeleteIs there any evidence or are there any projections that the city is being vacated?
6:26 The favorite pastime of our older citizens will be walking around the Hall property with our canes and having special races in our wheel chairs on Saturdays. After all, isn't that who they built that expensive property for?
DeleteSculpin has no clue. Most people are learning the dangers of bikes and automobiles in close proximity to one another. There have been too many people injured riding bikes, so a lot of the older folks prefer to walk. As you get older the reflexes and agility tend to decline. Bottom feeder needs to take a closer look at those bikers because they are much younger.
DeleteSculpin is an opinionated hash slinger, basing his views on non-substantiated suppositions. He would make a good Chief of Staff for Barbie - dumb and dumber II.
DeleteSculpin will be at the Hall Park in his Rocky Horror outfit doing his pilates.
Delete6:32 - I'm sorry that you're cynical about the future. Young people are engaged - look at Alex and Ziegler. They don't quite have their footing yet, but with time they'll figure it out. The younger set also communicate to each other in such different ways that to some in the older generation they appear to be disengaged. Where I sit, I have a lot of confidence that 'dem young un's are going to carry the torch just fine. But they're going to shape the world in their image - not ours, and it's a very different world today. Keep in mind the depression era folks had a real hard time understanding and benefiting in the optimism and growth of the 50's. They just couldn't shake their roots. And the 50's era's generation reshaped the world. Yes, the US is having a hard time with globalization - something it started. But we understood a long time ago that the only way to raise the living standards of other countries would be to lose a little bit of our own - and boy, have those chickens come home to roost! But now I think the world is starting to enter a phase of equilibrium, and maybe in 5 years or 10 years you're going to see economies settle down and stabilize, and we'll see a more steady increase in overall quality of life among nations. We'll still have big problems here in the US with income inequality, but it will have less of an impact as that wealth is transferred to the younger generation. So yes, you may be dead by then, but overall, things will get better - they always do!
Delete- The Sculpin
No, the Sculpin does have a clue. This is not Cleveland, ohio. People are very active here. Whether we should have the huge Hall Park full of nothing but sports fields, that's another question.
DeleteA lot of us lobbied for more passive uses, but Stocks and the gang were determined to ram in the sports fields. And they didn't care about the cost. The question of the cost of the fields and who will pay for it is still an issue.
But make no mistake, Encinitas is a rich guy town now. You don't buy a million dollar house in Leucadia without a lot of means. Those people can afford the taxes, the old school people will either sell their houses as many of my friends have or just wait until they pass.
And FYI, I live in Leucadia and I see plenty of people riding in their 50's and up all day everyday....
-MGJ
9:02 No, the bottom feeder still has no clue and neither do you. the people you see biking are not in their 70's and 80's (elderly). 50 is not elderly.
Delete10:58 - I agree that 50 is not elderly. But just this week, a 70yr old died in the lineup at Bird Rock - he probably didn't consider himself elderly. One of my horse riding companions is 80 - and she's still going strong. On my last week long horse packing trip the average age was 64. Look at Doc Paskowitz - he's 93 and still surfing! Sure, there are a lot less of them at that age being active, but those that can be are still active!!
DeleteSo yes, Encinitas residents may be getting older, but they still need parks, beaches, art centers, theaters, riding trails, sharrows, surfy-surf shops, quinoa salads with kale/apple/cucumber juice and an occasional beer downtown - just like all the young'uns - they just do it a little slower and smarter.....
- The Sculpin
11:37 Your few examples are just that FEW. There are thousands more who can not even drive or get out and are in need of constant care.
Delete12:11 - I'm certainly not disagreeing with you, but what are you trying to say? 4:03's original premise is that the Encinitas' recent capital acquisitions were not reflective of the overall population of the city. Further, 4:03 states "why are we not spending a little more money on older folks and their needs, since the major part of the population seems to be 50 and over?". Based on your comments, your criticism is not with me, it's with 4:03 for arbitrarily choosing 50 as the staring point for "elderly". So what are you proposing? That the city build something for "elderly" people as well? What needs do you suggest the city fill? Or are you proposing that the city not build anything since the "elderly" will not be able to use them? Help me out here.......
Delete- The Sculpin
12:30 I suggest the city concentrate on the needs of the ever growing older population of Encinitas. The council seems to focus their attention on the young. The younger families can not afford to live here for the most part and are moving elsewhere. We certainly don't need any more parks and ball fields to maintain. Not everyone is involved in sports.
DeleteThe City posits that seniors want to live crammed near shopping in their later years. The seniors I've encountered do not share the City's "visioning," yet the sardine can scenario is precisely what the City is trying to shove down our throats as an excuse to upzone, upzone, upzone.
DeleteAs a 67 year old woman I will answer what I would like to see in our city. I would like to see a transit system down 101, perhaps like Denver, Colorado has. Seniors could then take public transit to the downtown area, instead of trying to ride a bike, which is dangerous at best, or driving. I mentioned this to Jerome Stocks once upon a time and he said "oh so you want trolleys like San Francisco? Good luck with that". He said it his usual snide tone of voice. I would like to see more book clubs that are easily accessible and all ages could participate; I would like to have the roads paved a bit more evenly for all; I would like to see meet up groups for people who don't have dogs, and not just at the senior center; I would like the City to understand that we all don't want to give up our homes and live in stack and pack (that is the myth being perpetrated on the public at this time); I would like a place where we all come together, not over a sporting event, or a run, but where we could talk about issues of the day; I would like an art center for all, including those of us who cannot draw a stick figure, but might be able to learn. I could go on, but in the climate we have now, and with people like the Sculpin who thinks seniors all surf, ride bikes etc. it's hard to get any of this accomplished.
DeleteI have lived here for 30 years and still love it. However, the downtown area, even on a Saturday afternoon, has become a mecca for the young folks who like to drink and watch sports. I was there last weekend with my 2 daughters, who is now 33, and 37. They went to Oakcrest and San Dieguito. They said it reminded them of Pacific Beach ad it wasn't like this when they were going to high school. They said they wouldn't want to live here at this time in their lives. And, at one time, they wanted to. It was unpleasant, at least for our family, and this was a Saturday afternoon at the Bier Garden. That's my 2 cents for now.
1:48 - just what are "the needs of the ever growing older population of Encinitas"? We have great restaurants, diverse selection of grocery shopping, top notch medical and therapeutic facilities, a wide variety of spiritual resources, plenty of outdoor recreational opportunities - what is missing? Is it the risk that your neighbors house will morph into a 12 unit apartment building?
Delete1:58 - the city may very well posit that seniors want to live crammed near shopping in their later years, but if you don't move, it's not going to happen. But eventually, you will move - either to a better location within the city that meets your needs, or out entirely. Hasn't Prop A taken a huge bite out of the city's efforts to upzone?
- The Sculpin
Damn - posted too soon - yes 2:31 - I would love to see better intercity transit! That benefits everybody. And I fully realize that not all seniors surf and ride bikes, but not all seniors are house bound either. For some of your other comments, PV may fill that need, but be careful - it's been 10 years for the Hall park.
Delete- The Sculpin
A 70-year-old died in the roundabouts at Bird Rock? Really?
Delete3:52 Exactly why an elderly person should not be riding a bike in traffic. You made my case for me. Thanks.
Delete2:31, a great gig is volunteering at the Friends of the Encinitas Library, or Cardiff Library. I meet so many great active and not quite as active seniors at both, and the ages range from 50's to 80's. You might be able to find a book club there. If not, I'm willing to start one or help you look one up.
DeleteThe real change here is not about kids or seniors, it's about $ for housing. If you have lots of dough, you get to buy here, if you don't, you live east. Maybe if you need dough, you sell the house. This is one of those periods where there will be some outflow due to prices and lack of inventory near the coast.
It's always boom and bust in California, so we'll see what happens in the future. I see several families with kids in my neighborhood in Leucadia, and they've moved in. It just means they had the cash to do so.
I think we have a great mix in Encinitas, and yes, I don't hang out in Downtown. We have to keep working on that, but people vote with their wallets, and if they want to spend money drinking down there, they will do it. Eventually the parade will move on as it did from Carlsbad.....
When he says lineup, I think he means the surf lineup, not a roundabout....
Delete2:31, FYI, 101 has an excellent public transportation system with buses going north and south every half hour; 16 hrs a day for over 30 years. Did you just move here from Denver?
DeleteI thought this was a non partisan election!
ReplyDelete4:18- It's supposed to be, but by the looks of things, it isn't. The Dems have endorsed Kranz and Blakespear and the Repubs have endorsed Lerch, after taking away their endorsement of Zieglar. So much for non partisan.
ReplyDeleteIt is an non-partisan election, but the parties always have their specific endorsement. The Republicans didn't like Zieglar's endorsement of prop a.
DeleteSheriff helicopter shouting over loudspeaker throughout coastal encinitas. Hey council thanks for the early weekend vibrancy! How are those Bar supporters doing for your campaign?
ReplyDeleteWhen does Kranz start campaigning? Are those 10 "Tony" signs it? Monumental failure to comprehend the process or just a shot in the dark.
ReplyDeleteNo coattails this time.
DeleteNobody has any signs compared to other elections. I saw one Fidel sign in all of Encinitas, less than 5 Ziegler signs. At least Sheila has good signs. You can't even read the FF for Gaspar signs. It's going to be a weak turnout.
DeleteWay too many Sonken, Adrade and Strich signs stuck in the public right of way in Encinitas and Carlsbad, as they are running for EUSD board of trustees, which includes both cities. I'm voting for NONE of them. There signs are all along Leucadia Blvd, and La Costa. They went along with Superintendent Baird in reaming the taxpayers, making us pay a premium for land that was already in the public domain. It's sad when we can't trust our Trustees.
DeleteCome one guys, no crying about where the signs are, we've been through this a million times. They're incumbents, that's your biggest problem. They will all be back in again, most likely....
DeleteNo "crying" about incumbent trustees flaunting city sign code with respect to their intentionally posting in the public right of way, when that is expressly prohibited?
DeleteSad when public servants serve their own egos first. Those who serve on legislative bodies should not be breaking the law. If they do, we are foolish to reelect them.
Kranz needs to spent less time drinking downtown and more time campaigning - did he give up? I understand that the bar owners provide him with FREE beer.
ReplyDeleteGO CAMERON!
Sheila deserves better than this kind of rhetoric. There is no reason to mean.
DeleteKranz is beginning to make Dalager look like a Rhodes scholar. And Dalager was equivalent to a rock....
DeleteThis town also deserves better than what we have had from our representatives in the past and that includes our current crop of incumbents and the new candidates for all but two, Julie and Sheila. For the residents has not been something any of the others have demonstrated in a consistent manner.
ReplyDeleteTony helped with PV but has ignored and failed to protect downtown residents by not approving the DAO. Stay thirsty my friend, you get to drink for free along with Marco.
Catherine latched onto an issue she could use for her own benefit with Coral Tree Farms but what else besides the traffic commission has she done? That she was the girl for our current council majority should tell all she will be a seat filler for what we have had already.
Kristen has her supporters in the developer ranks and greenhouse properties. Duh. Infill to come with her at the helm guaranteed.
Julie has been present for years on just about any issue to come before the city and has always stood for the residents against the push of increased density whether it is the bonus type or not.
Sheila too, has always stood for the community against this onslaught of destroying community character projects.
Easy choice for cleaning up our city government that has too many seat fillers entrenched and comfortable for far too long.
Who else has ever stated that they will rid us of these leeches sucking the life blood out of out community? Name even one. Certainly not Tony, not Catherine, not Kristen. Sheila and Julie can clean this mess up and would be joined by others who want to last beyond 2016. No more Teresa, no more Kristen. Tony, Lisa, and Mark would have two years to realize which way the wind is blowing. Its late but not too late.
Sorry, but Sheila has been on the council before, and there were some issues. The slate isn't entirely clean there. Blakespeare and Graboi are new, so the jury will be out, even one of them gets on the council.
DeleteThere is no magic person or potion that will make everything perfect. People apparently had that notion with Tony and Lisa, and I think that has caused a lot of the dissapointment. It sounds like the two offenders downtown are the Union and the place next to the Daley Double (Shelter?). That's why there's so much heat, there's no way the SRF gang wants that much late night noise.
There is not a letter to the editor going around town by Dennis Holz saying he's not voting for Tony because of Prop. A. and essentially that as an SRF member he and the rest of those folks and a lot of the neighbors up the hill are pissed about the noise downtown. At least Tony doesn't have money coming in from the Union like Kristin did. And if you think the current Sheila is going to be able to mediate that one, think again.
Either way, it will be Kristin celebrating on the morning of Nov. 5 since as usual the non-development happy side of town can't get it together on a candidate. Somewhere Bob Naninga is laughing and smoking a big heater....
7:41 So what if there were issues with Cameron when she was on council before. She is not the only one who has had issues while serving their time. It appears to me that each time there was trouble on council you had the likes of $tock$ and Guerin. Those two put together were trouble makers. Thought their shit didn't stink, but guess what, it did and that's why they are gone, never to return.
DeleteSheila is the only council member that has been steadfast and true to this community, attending meetings, and diligently caring and voicing her concerns for the betterment of the citizens and not the developers.
I applaud Sheila, have voted for her and hope that she will be our first elected mayor. In terms of Gaspar, she can go piss up a rope because she is in bed with the developer's and bar owners. We know how she became CFO of her husband's company. No guessing needed here.
Go Sheila and Julie.
3:29 sadly too true about the EUSD board members. Just seeing how they have plastered their illegally posted signs all over the public right of way demonstrates how much they respect their positions and their reputations.
ReplyDeleteSure wish Jennifer Hamler could have rounded up two more candidates to join her on that board so we could be rid of Marla, Emily, and Greg once and for all.
One thing we can do for Jen is to try to keep Mo there for the rest of her term by not voting for her for the high school board she is seeking.
If Mo left you can bet the majority there would fill that seat with one of their own and isolate Jen like Mo has been. We deserve much better than this from any elected school board.
Yeah, but Hammler is against Common Core, is she not? And if she's a teacher and has a masters, why doesn't she teach in California?
Delete7:42 common core is a tool of regionalist, they seek to control education at a regional level by dumbing down some school districs under the guise of social mustice
DeleteIf Hamler opposes common core she has my vote.
Is that story below about richard phillips true?
Paranoid nonsense from a conspiracy theorist.
DeleteI would vote for Hamler if she could scare up a little league coach for my kid's team. I think she knows someone...
DeleteP.S. birds of a feather are flocking outside.
common core is no conspiracy, it is real- brought to you by Obama and Bush to dumb down american kids and lower the quality of life of the future-
Deletedumb down kids, destroy the american family- keep the next generation stupid, single, and happy to ride bikes and live in 200 sq ft kitchenette condo's while the Marco's of the world drive their 8 cyldiner SUV's to local surf spots bullying those who might get in his way
see how it works?
I heard the same story about Richard Phillips from an insider at city hall, a person I trust. I think the story is true.
DeleteI don't think cursive writing should be eliminated, through Common Corps, er, Core.
DeleteAnother consultant to be hired by the city at $10,000 to do an outreach project on the plastic bag ban. Where is the communications officer? Why isn't Richard Phillips doing this work?
ReplyDeleteRichard Phillips is good at doing the bidding of his superiors and that is all. What a tool.
ReplyDeleteEven when he is monitoring the illegal posting of campaign signs he was and is vina's boy toy.
This is a reference to the day before the Prop A vote two years ago when No on A signs suddenly showed up all over the Orpheus Park neighborhood on Private Property without any permission of the homeowners. He was right there and was the assistant city manger at the time making sure those No on A Signs blanketed the neighborhood.
I spoke to him briefly and before I could get home five minutes away I was tailed by a big white truck with blacked out windows who followed me to my place and turned around illegally and drove by ever so slowly like he was filming me as he went by.
Intimidation attempt, hell yes. I wish I had thought to write down Richards license plate number and the number of that big white pick up truck but I had no idea I would be tailed in such a short time to my street address.
Anyone who doubts there is a hit list is naive. That a truck could be commandeered in such a short time to tail me is illustrative of what slimey vina has brought with him from Stockton and Sacramento.
One of the Park neighbors I spoke to before this all happened was outraged these No on A signs were planted on his property and went on a tear to grab up as many of them up as soon as he could.
I saw another one near by after I left this park neighbor and suddenly there comes Richard there to defend this slimey vina move by city staff. This is who we have supposedly representing us and just why we need Julie and Sheila there to end this 'stuff' being perpetrated on this communitys' citizens.
This is who Richard was and still is. Don't count on him to do anything other than bend over for slimey vina's every wish. He will not be missed a bit when his time comes. Good riddance you ++++. Your time can't come soon enough.
For any doubters out there, this is not second hand. Thankfully staffs efforts to defeat Prop A failed and actions like this have only served to inspire myself and many others to clean house.
8:19 Do you have trouble walking, while you continue to look over your shoulder. You freak!
DeleteYeah, never mind about those pesky city workers, right?
DeleteWhat is it that Woody Allen says? X would have made a good Nazi. Fill in the blank accordingly....
