  1. Throw all t6he incumbents out and start new. The incumbents get $50K from donations by businesses who want favors. Our Downtown is terrible. We are gettiung drubbed by Livermore. The Council continues to approve more building although we have hit all our mandates and some. Barones continues to be a noise nuisance but somehow gets away with it, can you say money. The Wednesday first street fair is now a dog romp. The school administration situation is appalling. Instead of firing the Superintendant, we are letting her hire her friends from Fremont. This town is going downhill and it’s sad to watch. Time for a change.

  2. Follow thw money….

    George Bowen and Matt Morrison have pledged not to take any outside Developer money…

    The City of Pleasanton Website has records of donations for the public.

    Mayor Thorne, Mr. Olson, and Ms. Narum may have a different take on taking that money…

    Be informed….AND VOTE!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! THIS IS A BIG ONE!

  3. I vote and will look for some interest in what is their water concerns for all of us in a drought. Will we build baby build? Will we take recycle (of water) seriously ? Do we know how much ground water is available for current population ? How much longer will it last?
