She takes great pains to be an active member of the Democrats even though to your point she is if anything a Centrist and on matters of greatest importance to her position, her votes prior to the public outcry were in line with a tea-party/libertarian "Planning Department as a Service Department (for the Chamber of Commerce)" philosophy.<br /><br />So if you mean "non-partisan" in the sense her party affiliation and her correspondingly opposite policy recommendations neutralize on another on some level, I agree. However if words have meaning, she is, as a Democrat, by definition, partisan.<br /><br />However, thank you for the grand standing. All I can say is, we'll see.<br /><br />Money vs. people. I like people's chances. If not, we'll try again in two years. Eventually people will catch on.<br /><br />Mark on the calendar. May 22nd. We'll see how the campaigns are doing in the money race and we'll see who their major donors are. Should be fun for us who understand that behind the horse race are serious and substantial policy decisions that are being made every day.liberal jonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719375.post-59897374707610167932014-05-01T15:00:26.438-07:002014-05-01T15:00:26.438-07:00Unfortunately from the start CK had trouble defini...Unfortunately from the start CK had trouble defining himself as a candidate...was he running in 2 Elections for both County Supervisor and Eureka Mayor?? That hurt him.<br /><br />Virginia has been doing a nearly perfect job, she's non partisan, highly popular, remembers everyone's name and don't forget those birthday cards-its a homey touch that people don't forget.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719375.post-89355586072826855752014-04-30T21:23:47.579-07:002014-04-30T21:23:47.579-07:00Its not looking good for CK.

He faces an opponent with campaign experience and knowledge. His main argument against Bass is flawed: Does he really think how Bass votes on HumCPR/Ulansky is something that is going to rile up voters in the most urban supervisorial district in the county? <br /><br />In his last run ten years ago, I believe he kept up in the money department, had major endorsements, Bohn and his people didn't know what they were doing, and his argument against the LNG facility actually related to the voters in the district and it was genuinely controversial. <br /> <br />But I agree, if he does end up winning, its going to be a major upset and local power shift. I just don't see it happening though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719375.post-24326065649141828582014-04-30T12:27:48.445-07:002014-04-30T12:27:48.445-07:00Did not know this, thanks for the 411 and congrat...Did not know this, thanks for the 411 and congrats.
