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.
The substainable, recycling, liberal talk show hostess cant find sustainability in “Peak Oil” (peak oil is a conspiracy that the earth would have run out of petroleum in 2006)
William Spencer Lindsay III has filed under his name and a company name “Lindsay Digital,” which is reported to be doing business in Monterey. Councilmember Deborah C. Lindsay has filed under her name and a company name, “Peak Oil Production.” There is no record of a Pacific Grove business license for “Peak Oil Production.”
This should not be a surprise to anyone who has followed Pacific Grove politics even slightly: All three of the P.G. City Council members with terms ending in November opted not to run for re-election.
It’s also good that a large crop of candidates is competing for the chance to replace the departing trio. All eight are capable, to varying degrees, but three rise to the top: Ken Cuneo, Carmelita Garcia and Bill Kampe.
Calls Susan Goldbeck irrevocably tied to P.G. politics of the past, Dan Miller an activist, Richard Ahart a mystery, Deborah Lindsay narrow focused and says David Dilworth has no credibility.
Deborah Lindsay has announced that her campaign will be “carbon neutral.” The green radio host plans to offset carbon dioxide emissions from campaign-related driving, marketing, merchandise and office equipment by creating a community solar project.
Right, solar in foggy forested Pacific Grove. The woman is a kook.
. . seeking three seats being vacated by incumbents Scott Miller, Dan Davis and Susan Nilmeier:
Former Councilwoman Susan Goldbeck, and newcomers Richard Ahart, Ken Cunio, David Dilworth, Carmelita Garcia, Bill Kampe, Deborah Lindsay and Dan Miller.
Pacific Grove voters will vote on two ballot measures: Measure X, calling for a $35 parcel tax for the next five years for the Pacific Grove Unified School District;
Can’t say that I’d support another school tax. That $6,000,000 stadium at PGHS and $1,700,000 district offices tells me that there is plenty enough money going to the school district.
Looks like Dan Cort is unopposed.
The major action is in the race for three City Council seats being vacated by incumbents Scott Miller, Dan Davis and Susan Nilmeier.
Six candidates have already qualified for the council race while another has taken out papers for a possible run.
The council candidates are Richard Ahart, Ken Cuneo, Carmelita Garcia, Bill Kampe, Deborah Lindsay and Susan Goldbeck, a former council member. Dan Miller has taken out papers.
add radio show host and eco-crusader Deborah Lindsay to the list of council hopefuls. Mayor Dan Cort says he will seek another term.
Lindsay – ultra lefty. Makes McGovern look conservative.
Deborah Lindsay – shilling for the socialists that hate America.
Spiking energy costs and shrinking oil supplies may take a toll on America’s suburbs, but at least in Pacific Grove, residents will have a chance to advise the city on how to meet a future energy crunch.
The result could be improved mass transit, a self-contained water supply and a smarter use of the city’s resources.
A May 30 workshop is meant to assess the city’s current energy resources. Deborah Lindsay, co-founder of Sustainable Monterey County who speaks nationally on energy topics, will lead it.
