My endorsements on September 30, 2008
When scrolling back to 2008, there was a lot of coverage on Greater Bay and the near "theft" of our casino, pool and park in general. What a year. It took a lot of citizens to stop this but history has a way of repeating itself. Now we are going through beach "issues" again.
And September 30, 2008 was the start of this blog. What has changed the most for me is my politics. It took the election of Barack Obama and his tenure in office to permanently change my viewpoint and general attitude. In the beginning I was into his "hope and change" and gave him the benefit of any doubt. Now, I will never go back. The Democrat party is unrecognizable today.
As far as local politics, I will always speak up for our small town charm. And even in 2008, we were fighting off 99 year leases (to no avail--(they were overwhelmingly voted in and go against our Charter Amendment), something that will probably be on our March 2019 ballot on the Steinhardt property. After the city's survey, the ballot initiatives will be worded so carefully that everyone will fall for them in a positive vote.
The pendulum swings, always coming back to the same old things of the past...the same old fights and the people believing what the city tells them is the best for them.
