EDITOR,
You’re kidding me, Bruce McPherson. Moving to “decline to state” as a voter? Republicans should be offended. This is the party that supported you in the Assembly, the state Senate, even as California Secretary of State. Now you turn your back on them so you can run for local office? Really?
Democrats should also be offended at this obvious political ploy to hide your conservative side. It isn’t your party registration, it’s your voting record that really matters.
Even independents should be offended. They eschew the parties because of the dysfunction in the state carved by party polarization. You are still a party person, though. Why else would you have helped Sam Blakeslee against our own John Laird two years ago? You didn’t need to be a part of that nasty, negative campaign, but you were. Why else did you endorse Byrl Smith in Monterey County against Jane Parker? Because he is so qualified? Clearly not. That was only a month ago. Yet you want us to believe this political move was not about election in November. We know better. Shame on you, Bruce.
Peggy Mora, Scotts Valley
His mother has supported Mountain Community Resources and local issues for many years. in this valley, visibility means criticism. a few loud mouths trying to cloud the real issues: who is best suited to help us improve our district, which consists mainly of the SLV. Unfortunately most of the population is in the city of Santa Cruz... so us mountain dwellers get stuck on the raw end of the stick. Hammer can change that!
Terrible. Just terrible.
Now that is offensive!
Bill, you missed the point. Mora isn't the fuel, McPherson's prior actions are, she's just reiterating his record. People keep shoving that record of his under the carpet- that's the REAL crime. Too bad you chose to support Mcpherson instead of a true local who has yours (and our) best interests in mind, instead of a rich guy who lives in a gated community and is out of touch with local issues. You should know, being part of the water issues in Felton....shame on You!
