Letter: Sequoia Healthcare District vote a rejection of Hickey's platform?

Original post made on Nov 12, 2014

Now that the Sequoia Healthcare District election is over, it is clear that the voters do not support (Jack) Hickey's platform to destroy the district and penalize thousands of our citizens out of health care and illness prevention.

Yes, Jerry Shefren is an "excellent board member". He did once abstain from a vote on increased healthcare benefits from which "sitting" directors Faro, Kane and Griffin benefitted. He was re-elected by a margin of ~3,000 votes. My second place finish left Faro trailing by more than 1500 votes with John McDowell close behind. Mark De Paula had a respectable vote count of more than 11,000.
Absent the strategically timed mailing of the annual report, a thinly disguised piece of "electioneering", Faro would have lost to McDowell, and I might have overtaken Shefren.
Nevertheless, it is clear that voters trust Shefren to do the right thing. And, by their votes for me, they indicated their support for a resolution of the "transitional" status of the district.
I am awaiting a response from President Shefren to my request to place an item on the December agenda to deal with that issue.
