		<description><![CDATA[A few clarifications: 
No candidate ever promised Rainier.  However, the majority of the voters want to see it built and as elected officials, they want to work towards seeing it completed.  
Healy, Kearney and Miller were heavily involved in Measure X from its inception, which was all about expanding parks and open spaces in Petaluma.  
The reason they received no endorsements from the environmental groups is because they are in the back pocket of the progressives and will never support anyone who isn&#039;t aligned with the progressives.
By the way, street problems stem from a lack of revenue and the progressives, with their no on everything approach, have been responsible for this lack of revenue for far too long.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Healy, Kearney, and Miller received ZERO endorsements from environmental groups....that speaks volumes. Yes, we&#039;ll have a very &quot;efficient&quot; council now that there will be 5 solid rubber stamps ready to approve anything and everything. No debate. No checks and balances. Just 5 tools for land use developers to ensure they get their projects through. Can&#039;t wait until four years from now where they will still be promising Rainier and making up excuses for why our roads still aren&#039;t fixed, why large retail and office buildings remain vacant, why we have so much traffic congestion, and why they deserve to be re-elected. Petaluma voters are like alcoholics....they need to hit bottom first before they sober up.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The gullibility of Petaluma voters is astounding.  Miller, healey and kearny can all bow down to the PD for not telling the people the reality about them.  

Petaluma has so many problems yet they continue to elect those that create and nurture more problems.  No wonder it&#039;s such a loser hick town.  And my goal here is 16,166 thumbs down.]]></description>
