San Rafael council candidates criticize each other's campaign c...

"Business, the environment and firefighters all agree on my candidacy and I'm grateful for their support," Levine said. "Gary is bitter."

Sorry Mr. Levine, Gary Ford is not bitter. You have a connection that has not been fully revealed yet part of it is mentioned finally in this article. Jonathan Frieman, the producer of the hit piece targeting Gary Ford, has donated money to both you and Barbara Heller. Your campaign consultant, Dan Mullen, runs Indie Politics who you have hired as your campaign consultant (on your Form 460) and he and Jonathan Frieman launched a negative campaign piece against Joe Nation's candidacy in 2008. THAT is clearly a connection that the voters need to understand. You, Dan Mullen and Jonathan Frieman are clearly connected at the hips which almost makes us think that you had a part in the hit piece about Gary Ford. Just my wild guess.

Interestingly, Gary Ford and Frieman appear to have done business together before. Maybe Gary and Frieman had a falling out. Actually, now that I look deeper, maybe Gary has had a falling out with a lot of people?

Gary has raised no money and has to loan himself $30k. So a man who has lived in San Rafael his entire life can't raise any money and rather than looking in the mirror and questioning his own candidacy, he instead points the finger at others who beat him at endoresmenets? Sad. This article is worthless. What about real issues that San Rafael cares about.

Look who is supporting who, all the Unions are behind Mr. No-one (Levine) and old timer (Heller). The later who has done really nothing for past many years but support the Mayor's pet projects and allow the union to raise the pension benefits for all the safety and other departments.
On the flip side, everyone is attacking Ford who is against Measure G because of its timing with this down economy. The Unions want to utilize $$ from measure G so they can use this money for additional employment, employee salary/benefits, who knows what!!!
Ford you have got all my votes and I believe in your positive campaigning.
Say NO to measure G my friends.

Mark Levine is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Perhaps he got all those machine endorsements because he promised those PACs the moon! OLr maybe Boss Boro told them who to endorse. If you want more of the same old in San Rafael, then vote for Levine. He'll bankrupt the city for sure!

and I have reported your comment to this thread to Brad at the IJ for removal.

The Frieman slate means biz as usual and
a council complacent with public union control They will be asking for more tax and fee increases
The City of Vallejo shows you where this ideology ends

WOW, do I also have a slate because I have donated? How quickly we revert to FOX NEWS tactics and smear.

Kitty, you're out of control, you're on a time-out for fabrication and spreading innuendos! How quickly you became what you despise.

Read Dick Spotswood column today - Sun 10/25 - He has done a good job revealling the mudslinging.

Mayer has raised no Money, except his $600 loan. I owe no paybacks to the big money donors. Now do you think I might be the best choice because no one pulls my strings. Heller and Levine need to give back the money. The StateFPPC needs to investigate the Freiman money. And San Rafael needs REAL reform as I have proposed. A $2000 limit and you cannot raise money. You must use your money and explain where it came from. I'm using my savings. Not dirty smelly PAC funds and the usual special interests funds who need the status quo with AL Boro.

Dick failed to mention my viewpoint. I have not dropped out and will be pushing for reform.

We are on the verge of a Vallejo Meltdown. Sales Tax revenues down another 20 %. Joblessness still growing. People with jobs out of work. Nice job by the council. Too bda 30,000 was wasted on a public opinion survey. If you want the public's opinion, use a website and answer those phone calls and e-mails. Let the public speak for 5 minutes at Council meetings not 2.
