This is a press release from the self-styled “Committee to Save Pacific Grove” which states that they are not only trying to recall Dan Cort but have added Bill Kampe, Vicki Stilwell and Deborah Lindsay to the list.
Best thing the “Committee to Save Pacific Grove” can do is leave town. Think Peace Corps. Far far away.
In the latest election that David Dilworth failed, the Hear-Old did state in it’s endorsement editorial that Dilworth “has no credibility”.
While Dilworth spoke, the reporter from the Herald took notes. When he finished, the reporter left.
A few days later, the embarrassing episode was reported in the Herald without a hint of skepticism, thus elevating it from a brief farce played out in front of an audience of perhaps 100 people to something that was embellished with the Herald’s credibility even as it was delivered into the hands of tens of thousand of local news consumers, and which now lives forever in the Herald’s archives.

“The actions and inactions of Donald Armstrong were grossly negligent, wanton, indifferent to humanity ….” according to Ospina’s lawsuit.
But in a court declaration in April, Bazan provided possible reason her father didn’t intervene, calling the 81-year-old “senile” with “diminishing reasoning abilities and slower thought processes.”
Trust fund, eh? He always did appear to never worked a real job in his life.
Dilworth deluded about recall support
We sadly read about David Dilworth’s threats against Mayor Dan Cort. Mr. Dilworth lives from a trust fund with a job as “director” of his self-aggrandizing group, HOPE (Hating Other PEople?), and has a resounding lack of credibility beyond a select group of about 15 people. He should not be allowed to drive off hard-working folk in the manner in which he does, by threats, intimidation, phoney news conferences and lawsuits.
Calls releasing that acidic letter to he wrote “twisting the truth”. Kook.
David Dilworth said in a letter to The Herald that Cort “deflected attention from his failed leadership which has put Pacific Grove at Bankruptcy’s doorstep, caused the loss of our fire and building departments, cutting back our library to 20 hours a week, and a give-away of our museum to a private group with no requirement to give anything back,” then “shrewdly managed to twist a courtesy call into a ‘threat.'”
Those that woke up to David Dilworth’s foolishness speak up..
Ignoring the threat made by activist David Dilworth to resign by August 4th or possibly face a recall, Mayor Dan Cort showed up at Wednesday nights city council meeting amid dozens of supporters.
At the center of the controversy, a vote resolving around the Police Officers Association. The budget anticipated that police officers would defer a 9.8% raise due, by contract, January 1, beginning 2009. The recommended City Council action was to approve agreements with employee associations to implement the planned savings.
“What’s left in Pacific Grove… what’s the Mayor going to give away next?,” questioned Dilworth during his press conference at the Pacific Grove Post Office.
That 1% sales tax was supposed to support city services such as the library – but either there are not enough sales or the money went elsewhere.
Pacific Grove voters will decide Nov. 3 whether to tax themselves to provide a stable source of funding for the city’s library.
Wednesday the City Council unanimously approved placing the special-purpose parcel tax on the ballot.
The measure would levy a flat $96 tax on each parcel and $75 for each unit of a multi-family residential building. It would require a two-thirds majority to pass, City Attorney David Laredo said.
“Do not construe this as a negotiation,” Dilworth added, “nor is it up for discussion. I am authorized to let you know that if you publicly elect to resign ‘for family’ or any other reason before we begin gathering signatures … the people who have already signed have agreed that the media and the general public never need know about you facing a recall effort.”
Cort said it was ironic that a man who purports to crusade for open government would write such a letter, offering to keep the reasons for his resignation secret.“I got 200 e-mails saying what a vile thing for someone to do,” Cort said.
Hear-old is waking up to the fact that David Dilworth is only another constant loser candidate, no friend of the people.
Casting himself in the role of political extortionist, Dilworth also offered, privately, to let Cort resign instead. The mayor, weary of the sniping that passes for political discourse in some corners of the lovely city, unfortunately responded by resigning, giving Dilworth a victory of sorts. But, fortunately for the voting public, Cort distributed the threatening e-mail he received from Dilworth. It should end the debate over whether Dilworth is a public-spirited advocate or simply a provocateur.
