Today I received yet another John Brosnan flier extolling all his self perceived amazing virtues which make him worthy of being named the “great warrior” in this District 3 supervisor race.
This flier is nothing but mudslinging at its finest, cleverly arriving on the 11th hour of this election.
Much of his campaign has been based on malicious name calling in an effort to smear his opponent and in so doing avoiding the real “nitty gritty” of the issues our county faces.
Who is this man called John Brosnan? I have no idea as he can't seem to come up with any answers or solutions to most of the problems we are looking at during this critical time for the County. Nor does he seem qualified given his past work experience and education.
I know Jim Steele and what he stands for. I've heard him speak out and tell what he thinks and feels. I've heard his ideas for resolving problems and describe the ways we can move forward. He has a strong vision that I trust. He has the background to do a great job. We need to do our job and vote for him. Lake County needs him.

Distrust of government exists in all types of governments.
Citizens who distrust government and its officials can act as a “check and balance” system to help prevent government from over stepping its boundaries.
Unfortunately distrust of government can act as a deterrent to progress.
The opponents of Measure S distrust government and use that reasoning to promote a no vote on S.
This reasoning assumes that the Board of Supervisors will muck it up if Measure S passes.
The issue is not whether the government will muck it up, it is whether or not the voters of Lake County want to invest in Clear Lake and the future of Lake County as a whole.
If the voters pass Measure S, then the oversight committee will have the ability to monitor programs and expenditures. Public hearings will be held before programs are approved.
The “checks and balances” are in place and the public can weigh in.
We can all work together to make this happen.
Vote yes on Measure S.
