Your recent endorsement (sort of) of our 1st District Supervisor lauded the fact that "he made
sure that water got passed out" following the most deadly natural disaster
in our history. I don't question the compassion or the need, but is this the
best our $1.1 billion county with 4,200 employees can do?
How about a climate
conference that included national thought leaders? Or, meaningful public
funding for innovative and privately conceived projects? Or, a local satellite
office as people rebuild and have questions re: insurance, permits, etc.
We can't keep
accepting mediocrity and allowing our public servants to label it
"excellent." We can do better!
