Well, that certainly clarifies things.
Are fun facts, facts, Frank? How would you know that Richard voted for DJT three times? Did he show you his ballot?
Even still, what you are saying is you support the opposing candidate, Nicole Crosby, who is being supported by the MEA (the big fat cat union that brought us Measure L which allows for auto-raises). Nicole also is supported by the local Dem Party.
Keep in mind, the local party had a choice in 2020 to vote for Barbara Bry or Todd Gloria, and they chose the wrong candidate. The local party is currently supporting Henry Foster over Martha Abraham, who is also Democrat. But this is another poor choice.
Nicole works for ‘Todd’s legal department’ which has had a poor record of winning cases and has a few hundred dollars in reserves each year to issue their settlement payouts.
So, how do you suppose Nicole is going to handle the budget next year? Will she agree to forfeit any salary increases during her term? Will she cut her staff by 20% and instruct her colleagues to do the same or do you prefer shorter hours at libraries, 13 bathrooms to remain closed at Mission Bay and no funding of the arts.
What you are saying Frank is you’ll allow our city to implode under the weight of a bloated city staff and salaries over voting for someone who isn’t beholden on the elephant in the room, the MEA or the Todd Gloria. Now that’s something Donald Trump would do out of spite because he is demented.
To me these are not fun facts, but they are facts that you cannot deny.
Vote Martha Abraham, Mark Powell, and yes, Richard Bailey. We need a life raft of new candidates from of all parties and backgrounds with fresh ideas to coalesce with Raul Campillo, not the other zombies who work at city hall now. Then we will create a council majority of proven community advocates to push back on the nonsense policies that are being rubber stamped every day. If you took the time to talk with Richard, you would realize that he is not another DJT but may be bold enough with the other newly formed council to move the city back from the brink. This may require declaring bankruptcy so that an administrator will do the heavy cutting of the fat currently at our city hall.
This is a time to correct any blind spots and vote with a clear vision in mind no matter the letter after one’s name.
I don’t know how Bailey’s voting history was discovered. So I will just treat this as a hypothetical. If someone voted for DJT three times, that is disqualifying for me. I can’t support Nicole. I guess I’m skipping voting in the District 2 election this year.
That’s how I handled the last mayoral election. I simply skipped that part.
If my district person voted for Trump just once, let alone 3 times that would be enough for me not to vote for that person. How ever bad their opponent is wouldn’t change that.
Lisa, I may agree with you on one of those candidates you endorse.
In a meeting with Bailey last year, a very reputable source told me Bailey had admitted to them that he had voted for Trump three times and would do it again.
Chris Klien is correct . How does the Staff of the Rag know how anyone voted? Now that Candidate Bailey has had a come to Jesus moment and joined the good guys; the question is how will he vote now! Jen Campbell probably voted for Biden or Harris but did she do any good for Ocean Beach or D2?
