So far there have been two “Meet the Candidates” Forums, the first being several Thursdays ago at the Alta Mura p.s., the second, last night at the Community Center.
True to form, the first such was billed in the Sonoma Spindex Fibune as a meeting whereat the candidates, seated en banc, would field questions tendered by the general public audience…well, that turned out to be a total falsehood, as I learned later from one of the contenders for the $99.47/hour seat on the Sonoma County Board of Stuporvisors whose antics helped create a 61.6 million dollar ocean of red ink for the valley a couple years back. According to this aspirant for the board, no one from the audience was allowed to participate at all; apparently the self-appointed and anointed vox populi of the city of Sonoma, David Bolling, Mr. Squeaky Clean PC himself, arrogated His Excellency to the position of “moderator” and exclusively conducted all of the supposedly sufficient “vetting” of the candidates on behalf of all those in attendance that night. So it turns out that I didn’t miss a thing by not being there.
Prior to last night’s gathering, I was informed, however, that, yes, we individual audience members would be able to tender questions to the panel of candidates and that our queries would not be filtered through the lips of Bolling this go-around. That suited me, so I came….I likewise learned from the same source the exact identity of the thief who was trespassing on people’s private property and confiscating “Cuclis” yard signs—-far from surprisingly, Joanne Sanders’ campaign manager. Such yard signs had come up conspicuously absent from front yards within a circle centered right on Joanne’s residence as well, so it turns out. Your chief of the Sonoma PD apparently claimed that the “matter had been resolved” between the two affected parties when in fact nothing of the sort had ever taken place. Such, friends…is the scatosphere of politics and public officialdom. Is it really worth a dime of your time—or your hard earned resources?
