Doesn’t anyone else find it disturbing, worth investigating, even scary, that the two most vocal opponents of Stocks DIED in the last 2 years?
Bob Nanninga was improving and set to be released when he "suddenly" died…
Maggie’s cancer was in remission and "resurfaced" around the same time…
Also, Stocks finds it worth his every effort to keep Theresa Barth powerless, so that the people who voted for her (and Houlihan) have NO voice. NONE. This is not the way representative government is supposed to work.
Why isn’t anyone asking: Is there mafia or other corrupt money behind Stocks?

"Being upset because the world couldn’t share that creepy video because Bond chose to save money over hysteria is probably a good and appropriate call." Yesss!!!
Indeed, this is something to be upset about, and being upset is a good and appropriate reaction. Riley, you have it exactly right. the way this was handled most likely violated the Brown Act … And here I thought for a minute that you actually agreed with Bond’s clumsy call. Silly me! Thanks, Riley, you are a true supporter of democracy.

Add up the votes that Bond, Gaspar and Stocks received in their last elections.
There’s a pretty good chance that theirs total more than Mrs. Houlihan’s votes.
Yes, she WAS the top vote getter, but the democratic system requires that someone new replace her now that she is gone. Their is no video-birth-right to her seat, the seat belongs to the voters, not Mrs. Houlihan or her followers. The votes for Bond, Gaspar and Stocks outnumber the votes for Houlihan; that is ‘why’ she was in the minority.
Tony Kranz isn’t in line for appointment because he didn’t run against Mrs. Houlihan, if you were to use that system, then Doug Long would be the appointee; but the council will most likely choose to have an ‘open’ process, where anyone and everyone that lives here and is over 21 years old can apply to finish the term. And that WILL be televised. Being upset because the world couldn’t share that creepy video because Bond chose to save money over hysteria is probably a good and appropriate call.
By the way, potential seat-holders don’t have to promise not to run as an incumbent just as they don’t have to promise to run after fulfilling the term’ frankly what Mrs. Shaffer did with a sick and dying woman creeps a lot of people out. I’ve been looking for a community service resume for Lisa and so far, aside from her obvious ambition…..
So, the council will abide by the law. If you don’t like it; run for council in 2012.
It’s pretty simple.
