excuse. This is more typical of Federal. I consider them clones. Do we need another bone head as a Supervisor.
The question I asking myself do we elect the candidate
that has the most signs? Lets hope not! Go to my web site

Those who choose to accept a voluntary spending limit face a charge of misdemeanor for violating it. Glover expressed confusion as to the start date of his cycle by saying, ‘It doesn’t make any sense for the period to be three years. I have to get clear on this.’” Contra Costa Times, February 25, 2004

Of the four challengers, it appears that only Nunn will be able to keep up with Glover in fundraising in the Fall campaign. It also is interesting to see Nunn has been raising money since last June, which gave him a good headstart over Agopian, Parscal and Rocha. Good luck to all next Tuesday.

So Nunn’s campaign made a mistake and he corrected it. Glover and his campaign manager are the last ones to complain about it, since Glover violated the county’s incumbent-protecting campaign finance rules in 2004. Besides, the DA’s office has set precedent in the past by allowing candidates who made mistakes to correct them. The DA’s office is biased, anyways, since the DA has endorsed Glover, so the state Attorney General’s office should handle the issue, instead.
