Mr. Horsley said, "I don't know if I said it. I don't remember."


You said it Mr. Horsley.

This almost makes me ill. How to politicians get away with putting together a pension plan, which by-the-by includes them, and don't properly fund it? And this goes on for years, putting the county into debt. Then that gets too high and out of control. Then they NEED to raise taxes to pay said debts.

Do I have this right, give or take, along lines of general gist?

Once again, they look to bridge tax increase. Now. Who do you suppose uses all these bridges the most, percentage wise? Yes, the workers who can't afford to live in San Mateo County. I'll bet it's like 50-1. So they're going to be the most adversely affected. Not the people and corporations and companies who employ them. Or will they give them another $3./day=$90./month?

People need to see beyond their own circumstances and fight for those who need help by recognizing the cruelty of these 'selective taxes'' and other financial impositions and owning that responsibility.

It's time for the corporations who've had so much granted to them to pay up.

Thank you Mr. Stegink for stepping in to try and remove from office someone so uncomfortable with admitting his former statements.
You have my vote.

Just what we need, [portion removed; criticism of public figures is fine, but name-calling is not] running for public office who unaware of local issues.

Drain the San Mateo swamp.

Horsley is just another of the long list of corruptocrats in San Mateo County. I'd vote for Mickey Mouse before I'd vote for Horsley.

San Mateo County District 3 Residents should thank Dan Stegink for offering you a choice.

As far as Don Horsley's statement Mr. Horsley said, "I don't know if I said it. I don't remember."

I do remember and you said it many times, You said it when you were sitting right next to me at candidate forums. That was the main reason I was so interested in you correcting your terrible decision to start collecting the salary 40 days before you ever announced it to the public on December 26th.

I still have the e-mail from your Chief of Staff Chris Hunter, Friday Jan.11, 2013 4:16PM
Subject: For Your Consideration
Supervisor Don Horsley, President of San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, has decided to continue to voluntarily forgo his $120,000 annual salary for the remainder of his four year term in office. He has not received a salary for the first two years.

In short time period that he did get off track he did receive approx. $29,000 which he never made any effort to pay back.

Just want to keep the facts straight.

When asked about the $1-a-year pledge upon announcing his decision in January 2013 to start taking his then-current $120,000 salary as supervisor,

Don Horsley started receiving income in November of 2012, He didn't tell the public about it until December 26, 2012 and he never mentioned he had already been collecting the money, On January 11, 2013 he issued Press Release that he is back on track.

The average San Mateo County resident can only dream about income that Supervisor Don Horsley is getting.
What happened to that $1.00, statement? LOL, but it is not funny?

Mr. Stegnik "Even if Mr. Bolanos wins the election it is unlikely he will complete the term."

When and where and in what context did Dan Stegink make this remark about Sheriff Bolanos not completing his tee? Did he say it in front of a group of people or just to one person in a private conversation? If he said it privately, it means nothing if he won't tell the public and reporters how he feels.

"term" not *tee.*

His quote was sent to me from him, I am a Citizen Journalist and co-owner of www.sanmateocountynews.com
That is where I published it.

He also made the statement to the San Mateo Daily Journal, and I'm sure he will say it in public again, The public is free to ask him.
