Tainted!

About a month ago or so we publicly announced that we would be holding "Meet the Candidate" events during the Primary and General Election process regarding the Board of Supervisors race.

We approached the Board with a request to use the Municipal Building for these public service events. They hemmed, hawed and stuttered and we complied with all of their requests including submitting a formal letter outlining that while we would be hosting the event, either the League of Women Voters or a media outlet would moderate the events.

Imagine our surprise when we learned today that a certain Supervisor circumvented us and went to the League of Women Voters directly to conduct these forums.

Once again certain members of the Board of Supervisors acted in bad faith. Is there any wonder why the public does not trust these elected officials?

Sadly, if these candidate events do still occur, they, and all who participate will be tainted as this is a terrible abuse of political power.

Hopefully there will be more details to follow.
