Kehoe finally learns there are Hispanics in San Diego
Chris Kehoe's letter to LA PRENSA is laughable at best. It took her six-year as a city councilmember and presently a candidate for U.S. Congress, when she is only 10 minutes from the offices of La Prensa to finally acknowledge that there are Hispanics in the city and county of San Diego. Twenty-eight of her constituents are Hispanics, yet she has never acknowledged their concerns at city hall or in a public forum during this period. "Hispanics don't vote" showed her benign neglect of her constituents in a statement to the Washington Times. It speaks for itself... Kehoe is an old hand at vilifying people....
Lets look at her city hall record. 99% of the time she is brown nosing Mayor Gold-ing. Part time, she is also voting welfare for the Spanos family. On the other hand she voted against a new public library.... Kehoe has never had a Hispanic on her staff... When she received a 3/4 million-dollar grant, she spent it to repave a sidewalk and never a penny to educate Hispanic children or on the needs of her Hispanic community...
I am a life long Democrat but I will not vote to replace one evil with another...

Supt. Bersin Speaks with Fork Tongue?
Just got a letter from A. Bersin where he states: "No public money can be used to tell us how to vote in an election... Mr. Bersin then goes on to state why the school bond measure will be good for the schools... He is not only trying to convince to vote for the school bond measure and then does all but say the legally taboo words "vote for this." As a buddy of Bill Clinton this guy is just being legally accurate. This is an indication of this man's character.

What are all those "MM" Campaign Signs on School Grounds?
...Huge campaign signs have appeared on city schools supporting proposition MM and promising glorious improvements to the schools. Bersin and Associates did not fund these schools. They are the property of the people who pay taxes in the school district... The same people who are the intended victims of Prop MM... This administration is flouting the law... Can we put signs showing the negative effects of passing these bonds?
Bersin is a terrible example to set for school children. How many will grow up to believe that to get ahead in life they should be like Bersin?
Should school children lie and cheat and use public funds and government power to have their way?
