I will be straightforward about this, we need to pack Carnegie Hall next Tuesday night at 7 PM for the vote on the snowgate election resolution. Whether you agree with snowgates or not is not the matter at hand, this is about doing the right thing and calling the election ASAP. That would be in the Spring of 2013. Let the public vote on the matter. I know that only 3 councilors have expressed that they support the Spring Election (Staggers, Jamison, Anderson) and 2 councilors yesterday basically said that they oppose the Spring 2013 election (Entenman, Aguliar).
This is what I am asking from you;
1) Show up next Tuesday, and if you are too shy to testify, that is okay, your presence alone will help the cause. But I do encourage you to talk.
2) Call these 4 councilors and encourage them to vote for the Spring 2013 election. Explain to them that this is about ‘doing the right thing’ and honoring the will of the petition signers. Above and beyond anything else, that is the REAL job of our elected officials, doing what is right for the public good.
Councilor Dean Karsky • 351-8571
Councilor Jim Entenman • 334-2721
Councilor Michelle Erpenbach • 321-0793
Councilor Sue Aguilar • 334-8245
I would also like to remind any of the councilors that may still be on the fence about when to have the election that over 7,000 signatures were verified. That is WELL OVERÂ some of them got in votes to be elected to council;
STAGGERS: 6,793 (At-Large)
JAMISON: 1,406
ANDERSON: 1,399
KARSKY: 1,552
ENTENMAN: 16,609 (At-Large)
AGULIAR: 4,058
ERPENBACH: 2,466
ROLFING: 11,269 (At-Large)
