Assemblymember Wieckowski had 8 bills signed by Governor Brown in his first 11 months on the job. Bills that protect our environment, streamlines regulations, encourages job creation, and protects working families from bankruptcy.

That’s the kind of leadership the 25th Assembly District deserves!

Vallejo’s bankruptcy legal fees cost more than $8 million. The original debt was something like $9 million. Seems like requiring mediation before filing bankruptcy is a wise move. All parties will be motivated to negotiate. Unless you think paying $8 million in legal fees the best option.

“The purpose of the bill is to give cash strapped cities an alternative to…bankruptcies…”

That statement qualifies for the BS Hall of Fame.

Rick K: Whenever I stumble upon an uneducated blogger like yourself, I feel like I have to set the record straight. Although this may be a waste of time, my gut tells me that a hard-core tea party guy like you might best be served by moving to Alabama. Send us a postcard.

Wieckowski is the best choice for Assembly. He has represented Fremont and the Tri-Cities very well. He has a great group of leaders and organizations supporting him, including education advocates, public safety officials, business owners and industry leaders.

You seem to have misunderstood Wieckowski’s bill (AB 506). The purpose of the bill is to give cash strapped cities an alternative to very costly (and destructive) bankruptcies. It gives Cities other options. After all, even the City of Vallejo wishes it would have done things differently. Wieckowski is a bankruptcy attorney by profession; this is his area of expertise. He has a heart of gold, and has spent nearly 30 years helping families keep their homes and businesses stay afloat.

On the other hand, Pete McHugh is a habitual campaigner and a professional politician, looking for his next spot to land since he is termed out from Milpitas City Council. He has run for every office under the sun, many times UNSUCCESSFULLY, and can’t truly be taken seriously in his latest scheme to try to stay relevant.

Sounds like you are not from our area, or else you would know that Wieckowski is very well liked and respected.

He has our vote, and he will win in November.

Good luck with your tea party.

Go McHugh for Assembly! He would be a better representative for Fremont/Milpitas than Assemblyman Wieckowski, who is a puppet of the public employee unions. Those special interests so own Ass. Wieckowski that he was the “water boy” for their municipal bankruptcy bill (AB 506) that will make it easier for public employees to strike Vallejo-style “sweetheart deals” that literally are bankrupting cities and counties across the state. For this reason alone, independents (decline to state voters) need to vote en masse against Wieckowski in 2012. He needs to be held accountable for putting special interests ahead of what’s best for the people of Fremont/Milpitas. So go McHugh for Assembly!

Bob W. did a wonderful job promoting Solyndra, something that would impress many voters.
