I hope that when folks attend the League candidate’s forums (first one on the 29th, 7 pm at Mastic Sr. Center), they will be prepared to ask questions about issues, policies, and vision. And that the candidates refrain from slander, deception and bad-mouthing each other.
If people hear the lie that there is a “SunCal Slate”, ask them for proof of that, since those alleged to be that have all said it is untrue. If people are accused of “being the pocket of developers”, look at the campaign finance disclosure statements of all candidates to see who gets money from whom.
Read their statements in the voter pamphlet and on http://www.smartvoter.org a great source of voter information.

Blog postings like this are certainly a step in the right direction.

Regarding the accusations, gossip, speculation and downright lack of truth floating around Alameda right now I’d like to offer one great idea.
The INTERIM city manager stated that it takes THREE votes from the Council to remove her from the position; if the City Council were to make it UNANIMOUS it would make almost everyone happier.
We could then get through the election and start over having learned once again to take our time when making important decisions.

On the lighter side of moving forward, this is happening Saturday night.
