Glad to see that we haven’t completely alienated all of the marketeers – always a lot of fun to have folks who possess the character to toss around levity and comedy in their campaign tactic. Hopefully there is some substance out there for the electorate to consider as well.

Funny you mentioned the water park. She was on the planning commission when it was approved. Did she not look the cost of building and maintaining this park and understand the revenue generated necessary would parlay into high entrance fees? I would be interested to know how she vote on this project as planning commissioner and if she had asked any tough questions about the project.

Finally, i would think 99.9% of all political candidates pledge to listen to their constituents. This is not unique to Sue Chan. Had her or her campaign taken the time to take this pledge a step further by actually saying how she would do this perhaps this pledge might be different ala change. For example, eer campaign pieces or website could have stated, Sue will hold coffee hours around the city to make more accessible to residents. Yet all there is a statement that every candidate pledges. So I continue to say, there’s no substance to Sue Chan’s campaign. And that is why I will not vote for her.

Ok this must be a kid hence his/her lingo and immature tactics.

The current city council regularly ignores citizen concerns time and time again. An example is the water park built for millions of millions of dollars, with exhorbitant entrance fees (season passes are the same as Great America!). That is a source of pride for council. Where does that money to build the water park come from? Well we can’t quite fully fund the police department, there are potholes all over the city, and schools are over crowded.

Sue Chan has pledged to actually listen to citizens and take their concerns. THAT is a big change, and I’m excited for when she gets in.

now Ms. Chan is claiming she’s an agent of change ala Obama? How does she equate herself as being for change? She’s a planning commissioner, ties to the Dutra family, can you get any more “inside”?

That’s what I meant by saying there is no “meat” to her campaign. Policy-wise she has yet to delineate what she’s for other than the normal campaign slogans that most candidates share.

Now she wants to stand for “change”? Please explain how she is going to be change?

I don’t discount or undervalue her 20 odd years of community service, but we should be electing the best candidate. And to me her campaign has yet to anything more than window dressing. And again for someone who has some much experience, that’s very disappointing!

Was that in reference to me? If it is, I think you’re mistaken.
