Since when does anyone leave a job because they MIGHT want to get another job, for which they MIGHT be hired? That would be RIDICULOUS. And she’s not a shellfish.

“The council should follow this principal: No one with a background as a social organizer, union organizer, social activist, environmental activist, need apply. They should all be rule outs (sic).”

How many levels of freedom and rights does this stance trample on? And yet I’ll bet you’re an Agenda 21 type. Typical.

Now how can we replace her on the BOS also??

The shift of governance has been going to UNELECTED Boards, Agencies, and Commissions. They are receiving more and more ‘funding’ annually that results in a power shift from local to the large cities. ( and Sacramento )

The Progressives are relinquishing control over local case by case decisions to some ‘Board’ that meets in Oakland or SF. THEY will decide, not us. They get rewarded by being appointed to positions that perpetuate the Plan at unsustainable levels. The only fiscal sense that seem to have is their own and their cronies.

There are big bucks in fleecing the public trough. Big bucks. Like the recent $40 million Public Utilities building, SMART scam, proposed new Courthouse for $160 million, a bike bridge for 20 million ( while the SMART Train Jennings bike/ped overcrossing was said to cost ‘just’ $2 million- and you know that is an inflated price.

Nice to be back

Because she left us in this position I believe the best choice for the city is to award the seat to the next highest vote-getter from November.

Awarding the seat to the next highest vote-getter from November is the best choice for all. First off it is the person the residents of Santa Rosa voted for. For the city to appoint someone of their own choosing is not fair to the people of Santa Rosa. And to hold a special election is not something the city can afford or should spend money on.

I truly hope our council members do what is fair and right for the citizens of Santa Rosa.

It’s time our elected officials start working for the people who elect them and not for special interests or for themselves.

I truly hope residents of Santa Rosa show up to council meetings to speak out on this issue.

The council needs a new member with a business background and ties in the business community. But most importantly, someone willing to take on the heavy lifting of cutting the public pensions down to size and reducing the city bureaucrats who are non-essential to running basic government.

Gorin’s replacement will be Robin Swinth, who’s Bartley’s bff (or is she Ours’ bff?). They’ll try to pawn it off as non-partisan, because Gorin appointed her to the Board of Public Utilities, but don’t be fooled. It should be between Don Taylor or Caroline Bañuelos, who were neck and neck.

At what price did Carlstrom sell her soul? Stay tuned.

She’s clearly not going to vote for Caroline Bañuelos because those two despise each other. She’s not going to vote for Gary Wysocky’s appointee to the Planning Commission, because she also despises Wysocky.

Oh what tangled webs we weave…

The Plan is called One Bay Area (in conjuntion with Plan Bay Area). Typical of plans rolling out across the Country it imposes regionalism. The plans use a miriad of funding, zoning, taxing and policy manipulations socially, civically and financially engineered to coerce all the people out of country, rural even suburban life into the UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development model called Smart Growth.
One Bay area would seek to forfeit our freedom of choice in terms of where and how we live, our transportation options, privacy, ability to travel and much more. It is a HUGE step toward globalism; which is what all this ICLEI / Agenda 21 talk is about.

I predict that any public official that goes along with this unconstitutional tyranny will wish they could use a pseudonym, like you “Juan.”

I am actually finishing my own newspaper right now called The North Bay Independent. My motivation being to inform/engage regarding the One Bay Area Plan. That our American Dream is in the balance. Since our local government and their publication is not doing so.

You’d think that an appropriation close to $330. billion of our money, with so much profound effect would be the subject de jour. I’m sure that our representation would welcome an opportunity to interact with their constituents on this life changing subject.

Sounds like they’re shakin’ the progressive tree though.

If this wasn’t a UN outpost that installs based on adherence to the Agenda, Don Taylor would be the natural choice.

MTC and ABAG are comin’ to town in a few months to bribe the councils into going along with their regional/globalist Plan.
This composit of representation and the significance of how they vote on this is issue can not be over stated. If there was ever a time to get politically engaged and bring accountability to your representation. THIS IS IT.

There will be lots of heat over this deal City Hall, hope you remember your oath, ’cause there will be reminders.
