Ten candidates for Petaluma City Council and mayor sought to set themselves apart from the herd Tuesday night by firing off their best answers to crucial questions in one-minute bursts during a forum at City Hall. Two incumbents and seven others are running for three council seats, while four candidates are seeking the mayor’s job, which is elected separately in Petaluma.
The video of the forum is broken into three separate parts, divided below into separate video players.

So working for Government is not working in Government? And a candidate, who contributed his own money to his pension out of his salary is doing something wrong? Last time I checked, even elected officials (Judges, DA, Supervisors), can collect a pension having served enough time to be vested. So Albertson’s guilty of exactly what? You naysayers have to get over the fact that public safety employees took a lower paying government job that had security via retirement benefits.
From their responses to the questions, here’s how I rank only the top 4 council candidates:
Wyatt
Johnson
Barrett
Albertson
For mayor:
Mayne
Glass
Here’s how I rank it:
City Council
Davies
Harris
Barrett
Kerney
Albertson
Johnson
Nau
And then the guy at the very end who can’t sit still in his chair.
Mayoral Candidates:
Glass
Mayne
A point of clarification for you Mr. Albertson. You spent 38 years as a government employee with taxpayers paying your salary. You have not spent day one IN government. You have never been elected to or appointed to any government post. Just be honest with us, ok?
And is it true that your government pension pays you $12,000 per month?
