"<BR/><BR/>Once, about 25 years ago, I sold Larry Glass some unneeded LPs. As I left the store, he grabbed the box I was using to carry the records he didn't want to buy. After snatching the box out of my hands, he pawed through every record, then looked at me sheepishly. What on earth was happening, I wondered.<BR/><BR/>He admitted his embarassment. He had grabbed my box of records to see if I had stolen any NEW LPs out of the store. <BR/><BR/>That was, I guess, the day Larry Glass discovered two things about me. <BR/><BR/>Number One: I am honest. Like a lot of people who live in Humboldt County, no matter how poor I may be, I remain honest. It is a point of pride and a foundation of my personal value system.<BR/><BR/>Number Two: I am a reasonable and forgiving person. That's why I told him I understood why he would feel the need, as a businessman, to do awkward things to protect his business. <BR/><BR/>If he reads this entry, he may also discover Number Three: Though I am forgiving, I never forget.<BR/><BR/>Well, people can change in 25 years.

It's not like he built a fortress in the middle of town or a compound, it's for people to use and enjoy. HOORAY I say. At least I don't have to look at the Vance Hotel all boarded up with squatters any more. <BR/><BR/>People are such jerks. I can't believe the spin.<BR/><BR/>I think Glass is an absolute JERK and he ALWAYS has been and if he wasn't being so bitter about everything he's realize he used to have this really cool business but he's the one who moved away and he's the one who stopped paying attention, had no creativity to offer the business and no input into the community. He is no different than these so called "old men bitching about taxes and collecting their pension" he's just whining and complaining but I don't see him offering his so called "REAL" economic growth.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, because in Humbodlt County we have so many people who have a freaking PENSION. I think you mean social security. Sheesh.<BR/><BR/>Don't even get me started on Kuhnel. He also seems like a jerk, listening to his interviews and debate. I hear him badmouthing and condescending but he never says anything original, valuable, or interesting. <BR/>I don't really think he has a real issue or concern other than trying to be a local hot shot. I love that his tv commercial tries to play it like his family has been here for generations. Uh, no, sorry- that's a lie. Why does no one call this guy in these things? He just seems like this big operator who is pushing an agenda and doesn't really care about you or me or the people staying at the downtowner hotel, you know?<BR/><BR/>How can you say that a guy who is so worried about the color a victorian house is painted has a concern about the REAL EUREKA???<BR/><BR/>Like Leonard's choices or not, he's been in there the rying, listening, and even making some decisions that make people not like him. I want someone in office who is willing to make hard choices even if I don't always agree. It means he's not pandering to any side but what seems factual.<BR/><BR/>He seems to really care - even if you can't get behind every issue decision he's made, he actually cares about the city and he shows up everywhere all the time. It cracks me up that he's seen being talked about like he's on the right. Hellllooooooo don't you remember when he ran for this office the first time, his opponent tried to make a big deal that he was registered Green and then changed to Dem? <BR/><BR/>It's a non-issue this whole right lefty stuff, or it SHOULD be if we actually want anything done.<BR/><BR/>I cannot get over how everyone is falling for all this spin. It's like being in Washington DC only less prostitutes.<BR/><BR/>I am voting for the people who are NOT making it about that.<BR/><BR/>GO LEONARD!
