It was only after the fact that I knew he was running. He is trying to help us get demo notification so we can protect community character.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939215487471290749.post-3360708712216104902008-04-03T15:13:00.000-07:002008-04-03T15:13:00.000-07:00An endorsement from the Sierra Club is solid and s...An endorsement from the Sierra Club is solid and so is an endorsement from Donna frey! and the Democratic Committee. Whitburn has not gone negative, he doesnt have to, just google "todd gloria developer" and see how much special interest money this guy has. And now he has tons of money from defense contractors as well. His endorsements are all shady politicians that fought for developers in Coronado.

Sierra Club is NOT the REAL enviro group in town. There are plenty of well respected groups in town including LCV. Sierra Club and the Carolyn Chase's of the world just dont like to think anyone else is as important as them. They are both dead wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939215487471290749.post-52691953296716763472008-03-06T13:46:00.000-08:002008-03-06T13:46:00.000-08:00environmental endorsements are valuable just in th...environmental endorsements are valuable just in their name.

Good luck. Other than a single mailing and talk of getting people out, I don't think that these environmental groups have been effective in the past so I question how much of a "real" impact they could have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939215487471290749.post-57757267499632843002008-03-06T08:49:00.000-08:002008-03-06T08:49:00.000-08:00Lorena, is that you?Lorena, is that you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939215487471290749.post-68863497850948668322008-03-06T08:15:00.000-08:002008-03-06T08:15:00.000-08:00First, Lorena has served on the LCVSD Board for ye...First, Lorena has served on the LCVSD Board for years. Long before she went to work for labor. She is an environmental attorney by education and has been an advocate for the environment for as long as I can remember.

Every candidate has to raise money and Steve has chosen to attack Todd to distract from the fact that he hasn't raised enough to be viable. Todd is a decent guy and will be great for the environment. This endorsement is a reflection of just that.
