I view Tam-gate as a witch hunt and I agree with Gilmore that the taxpayers, yes, the people who give their money to the city of Alameda, should know how much this cost.

If the city manager resists this simple request then she should be fired; and I will vote for the councilmember who takes this leadership position and initiates this action.

This is really un-defensible and I’m shocked that there are those that think this is okay.

Hi there. These robo-calls are paid for by political groups or, in some cases, independent individuals or organizations. Generally speaking, the media has a hard time finding out who paid for them. And, thus, the answer to your question is no. We do not have access to the results.

Is there a way the Journal can get a hold of the results?

It will be interesting to see what the results of the poll are.

Janet,

Did you mean “vicious”?
