Virginia Bass resigns from Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee (HCDCC)!

Dear members of the HCDCC,

It is with regret that I inform the membership of my decision to step down from the Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee. Due to additional commitments that I have taken on, I’m finding that I am unable to fulfill the duties required of me and am having a difficult time juggling my schedule around to attend the various meetings and activities.

I would like to attend meetings when possible as a registered Democrat and make remarks as an elected official, but do not want to remain as a regular or associate member of the committee. I am still available as time allows to assist with events and mailings should an extra body come in handy, including DOTY.

While there were certainly bumps in the road, I am thankful for the time I served on the committee. I worked with some wonderful people and made friendships that I treasure.

Sincerely,

Virginia Bass

Too Bad. Virginia was instrumental in leading the Democratic Way and Means committee to record breaking fund raising. Always a doer and not just a talker.

Natalie Arroyo and Kim Bergel endorsed unanimously by Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee (HCDCC) . Wear it well!

Natailie Arroyo and Kim Bergel were unanimously endorsed by the HCDCC tonight. This is a huge advantage to these candidates in Eureka. They only have to present themselves to Democrats as the candidates of choice.

Now that Arcata race was a different story. Sofia Pereira and Mark Wheetley were about to garner the HCDCC endorsement when Milt Boyd pointed out that there was another Democrat in the race. Patrick Hyland had qualified and had not been notified by the committee of the endorsement process. So after much debate and discussion the HCDCC made a monumental first time e-mail endorsement process. All voting members of the HCDCC will be emailed information about the candidates and vote by e-mail in the next few days.

I left before the Fair Wage Act was discussed. It was endorsed and I really feel it will pass overwhelmingly in Eureka. All of Labor is backing it and I do think it is the right direction to provide "living wage" jobs in Eureka. It will be interesting to see if local businesses will put up a fight.

Manila Speedway now open for business!

Gee, what a great idea to pave over the rail tracks at Emmerson! Now people won't have to slow down one iota while "shortcutting" and avoiding the 101 safety corridor. At least with the rail tracks in it served as a kind of "calming speed bump." Now it is off to the races! Be careful Peninsula pedestrians!
