Thanks to the persistent GOTV efforts of Slocum, Robinson, and Fergusson Dave Pine was elected Supervisor. He owes his victory to the 3 tireless supporters.

Ms. Kelly Fergussen endorsed all top four candidates. That kind of endorser does not a winner make.

He sure has all of you excited. Let us hope you think that this community deserves someone as honest and talented in politics as you credit him.
I read his predecessor's credentials.
They were even better.
I would go so far as to say, I can prove that the assemblyman did do some things which are not in keeping with his position at the time.
Many of his supporters are dead. Those who wanted him in the seat, are now old, and not at all thrilled with the way things are going because he did not know the use of power aligned with semi big money.
Today, money will buy a yacht with no captain.

To OBSERVATION. What are you saying. I can't figure out your confusing message?

puzzled:

you can't figure out what OBSERVER says because it is R. Gordon under a pseudonym. No one can figure out anything Mr. Gordon has to say. [Portion removed; please be respectful of other posters.]

*Menlo Oberver* should check the smartvoter site. Slocum and Robinson both endorsed Pine. Fergusson endorsed Papan. Fergusson and Robinson both also endorsed Holober and Nagel. Pine does not list Fergusson as an endorsement:
