1. We don’t need you to “step up”, Lisa. Thanks anyway, though.

2. Noise.

3. There are at least 3 seats on the council that will be up for grab, and since you think John’s “mayoral bid might be a refreshing change from our current mayor for many citizens of San Marcos” why would you run against him and split the votes, which gives Susan “a chance” to win if she decides to run again.

   My suggestion to you is try for a council seat and if you win and John wins, then work together for the best of all citizens of our city.

4. Yikes!

5. I would welcome Coppoletta on the city council in place of one of the Mayor’s toadies. While I frequently disagree with Thomaides’ political views, it is more important to reduce the size of the Chamber of Commerce’s influence on the city council. We need more than one change in voting power to accomplish that. The only votes not consistently in the Mayor’s purse are Bose and Thomaides. The rest should be targets for those of us who support strengthening our neighborhoods and ceasing the giveaway of public monies scams to the corporate elites under the guise of economic development.

6. Key Word: “city council “

7. They too will be influenced by money. They are all human.

8. Don’t worry, I’m running again. I plan on spending ten times what I spent in ’08. I will get twice as many votes. You’ll get a Mayor as good as this city has ever seen, a sustainable budget, (perma?)cultural emphasis instead of placeless development, & better relations with the U to name a quick few.

9. Mr. McCarthy,

   I look forward to hearing more about your platform in the near future. I will be attending Thomaides’ campaign kickoff tonight to hear where he stands on what I consider to be the key issues in this election. Do you have a date set for something similar?
