Until recently it looked like Catherine Blakespear had a clear path to the state senate. She was the party insider choice. No other Democrat had announced for the race. She caught another break when redistricting made the district significantly more Democratic.
So it will no doubt come as very welcome news to voters who are loyal Democrats but don't like what Mayor Blakespear has done to Encinitas that now there's another choice:
If Blakespear holds on to the support of the party bosses, Kerr will need a lot of grassroots support. You can donate here.
Thank you for the PSA, WC! Blakespear has only grown stronger in her disdain for the public with each successive election.
ReplyDeleteBOOPO
I am so glad that we have a different choice than the Republican car salesman guy. There is no way that I would ever vote for Blakespear again for ANYTHING! I am going to contact Kerr right now and see what I can do to help. To begin with, his campaign needs to start reading this blog and others to find out how horrible Blakespear has been in our city and on the SANDAG board.
ReplyDeleteI just donated!
ReplyDeleteConsidering what the democrats have done to the State of California and the United States, who with any sense would vote for a democrat? They are insane and hate their own country.
ReplyDeleteBlakespear is deplorable and incompetent on every level - it even transcends party affiliations.
DeleteDurrrr 10:09 for those who simply must vote D, this is an option that removes Blakespear. Works for me and easier than getting them to leave the party.
DeleteThank you Joe Kerr forgiving us another option.
ReplyDeleteI supported Doug Applegate in the past, but he was not made to put up with the crap that goes with the politics.
He would have been one to trust more than anyone else.
Semper Fi Doug.
Joe, you are most welcome to join in. You have a built in already existing support network at your disposal.
Here is to seeing your numbers grow this year. Whatever you need, just ask and you will receive.
The need is that great.
How could a Marine be a democrat? It makes zero sense. That's like stating all people are equal.
ReplyDeleteWith a statement like that, I'll write you off. The world will be a better place without you.
Delete6:29 - you, obviously, never served. Dirtball.
DeleteI am a life long Democrat. Blakespier, Newsom, and Biden are so bad I am quiting the party. This is not the way. There has to be better answer than social liferals and financial realists.
ReplyDeletePlease join me and leave this destructive force behind. Join the light and love, dump the lies and dark shadows.
Loving Encinitas.
6:50- ALL politicians are full of lies and dark shadows. Love Encinitas
Delete*There has to be better answer for social liberals and financial realists.
ReplyDeleteFuck all you folks with zero common sense that supported idiot Newsom in shutting down the state for 2 years due to a flu with a kill rate of 0.0002 with massive underlying conditions.
ReplyDeleteHere is wear all the attention should be focused - https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-us-diabetes-deaths-top-100000-second-straight-year-federal-panel-urges-2022-01-31/.
People need to focus on overall health including mental health.
I will support Kerr absolutely. All he has to tell voters is that Blakespear sued her own residents because they wouldn't let her carry water for the BIA. Mic drop.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it will take to realize he supports a bunch of the same stuff as Blakespear that everyone here hates?
ReplyDeleteBlakespear is too entrenched. Joe is not and he's not besties with Tasha. Imagine if Blakespear and Tasha teamed up, no thanks.
DeleteDef vote R if that's who you are, but for Ds we have an option that will get BOOPO. And that really is the goal isn't it.
And she can take Marco with her but who won't bet he'll be cozying up to Hinze next?
DeleteHinze to replace Blakespear? Those are big jackboots for her to fill!
DeleteYou can see it Hinze's eyes, she's already burt out. She knows deep down BIAspear has sold out and destroyed Encinitas and she will have her name tied to the destruction just like loser Kranz.
DeleteFlyboy Mosca does not even count because he is not even a resident only a carpet bagger from Sierra Madre.
Attention all citizens-
ReplyDeletethis is not a test. There is a new COVID 2019 variant out now called killotron and there were two new COVID 2020 cases found in Africa and a COVID 2021 that is taking lives all over Asia.
In all cases they killed millions of innocent people. (Discloser -all the victims were over 100, and obese with stage IV pancreatic cancer). But if it had not been for COVID, these souls would still be with us today.
Do NOT go out of your house today and do NOT talk with any humans or animals this week. All animals pass COVID. How is your food supply and TP? Call Amazon today.
What you need to do is watch CNN today all day and donate to our Fearless Newsom who will save us from this COVID filled world.
-God bless you all, and BE SAFE!
EG KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE BALLPARK! Anyone who knows Sapau knows he's not working for residents.
ReplyDeleteEncinitans Will Happily Say Pau to Roy Sapa’u
“Development Services Director Roy Sapa’u has never seen a development he didn’t like,” said long-time local activist Larry Gomorka. “It took him many years of siding with developers to rise to the top of the department. Nobody gets the top spot by rubbing the City Council the wrong way.
“But people tend not to last long as director,” said Gomorka. “Take Brenda Wisneski, for example. She was imported and then in the top slot for barely two years. Maybe she made the grift by the council, staff and developers too obvious, too public.
“Sapa’u came up through the ranks,” said Gomorka. “He’s seasoned and probably too savvy about city ways to get canned early. Yet things like his tortured explanation of why a three-story building is actually two stories say even he could be vulnerable.
“He’s pulling down a pay package of $233,000,” said Gomorka. “There’s a lot of motivation to stay put.”
“Naming the department ‘Development Services’ says what the city is gung-ho about,” said Gomorka. “They always have to go after new revenue, and that comes from continuous development. To keep it rolling, the department must have a director who’s on board and keeps his staff in line.
“Yet, as contradictory as it might seem, there are some developments that are a bridge too far for the City Council and, therefore, for Sapa’u and his department,” said Gomorka. “At least in the current circumstances, one of those verboten developments was the grotesque Goodson project in Olivenhain. Stopped dead in its tracks as proposed but only for the time being.
“Maybe Goodson will rear its ugly head and test Sapa’u and the council’s character after the November election,” said Gomorka. “Few Encinitans would weep if the city said pau to Roy Sapa’u.”
This piece puts a name and a face to most of the sleazy backroom Planning Department dealing at the City over the past 25 years.
Deletethe dude is slippery as an eel and works tirelessly against residents and for developers. remember the name.
DeleteWho is this Larry Gomorka dude?
DeleteI can not wait for the next elections. BOOPO and we will clean out all these Encinitas destroying City Council members. I hope both Kranz and flyboy run against Thunder. They will all be squashed!
ReplyDeleteThunder would be our Mayor today had the flier Beach Town, NOT Bigtown was launched one month earlier. The trend for Thunder was and is strong and BIAspear only won by a few measly miss-informed voters.
All you that voted for BIA should really examine your actions and why you are voting to turn Encinitas into HB or worse.
7:11 Wrong again as usual. This is U$A where big money ALWAYS wins no matter who is in office.
DeleteWhoever photoshops the opposition with Trump wins, right Marco/Verdu?
DeleteCorrect, 2:49! And whoever pays Mali Woods-Drake to let loose her special cray-cray gets bonus points!
Delete10:27- You might be correct, but when you know we have the worst Mayor and City Council members in the history of the City you have to vote for someone new. Everyone agrees that BIAspear is worse for Encinitas than even Stocks and we thought no one could ever beat that loser.
ReplyDeleteIts like that time I had to vote for Obama over Romney even considering his fatal socialist flaws. I chose his overall common sense and respect for humans over loser Romney.
Do the right thing for Encinitas and remove all of this City Council.
And now these encinitas clowns have agreed to this automatic enrollment of an electric supplier. I tell you what, next time a line goes down and you need an electric crew, call your new supplier...SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT !!!!! YOU FOOLS
ReplyDeleteIs this another instance like what Blakespear said of the Safe Parking lot that. "it just fell into our laps?" How can someone be so naive as to think that someone pushing these agendas is not there to make money off of taxpayers. When considered as a group, she has found a way to stick it to taxpayers bit by bit including her plastic recycling container. There is nobody there to represent us.
Delete9:00 a.m this morning, Sorbi Aviation out of Montgonery Field flying circles over your homes and kids schools. Pouring leaded fuel exhaust over the area. Sorbi Aviation phone number,
ReplyDelete1-858-277-0312. A very rude jerk will answer and tell you they can fly over Encinitas in circles if they want. The FAA is a useless pile as they will do nothing to stop this.
I have a plan, don't give up
What about FREEDUMB 10:19?
DeleteYour FREEDUMB has zero to do with these flying schools flying in circles over 10's of thousands of people, schools, the Sheriff's Department etc. This is unsafe as over 1000 private planes go down every year in this country.
DeleteThese clowns come up from Montgomery Field in San Diego City and fly 20 miles up the coast and fly in circles over Encinitas, Del Mar and Solana Beach. It's going to stop one way or another.
