It's been my lifelong practice to never vote for candidates that are supported by real estate people.

@Pearl: Why do you never support candidates who are supported by realtors? I suppose you have a reason. Realtors are entitled to contribute to whomever they want without having their support judged to have a negative reason.

Is the Developer Jeff Pollock who contributed money to Carlton's campaign the same one who just broke ground on the hotel on El Camino. In the article Carlton is quoted supporting his project. Was the check written the same day as the ground breaking?

Pearl,

Is it also your practice to never read newspapers supported by realtors? If that is the case you would not read any newspapers at all. And do you think the Almanac would even be in existence if it weren't for the generous advertising dollars spent in support of this newspaper and its web site.

Realtors are hard working people who provide a valuable service to the community and earn every penny they make.
