OK, all worthy goals, how specifically does Ms. Ervin plan to get these things done?

I think all candidates should be asked the specifics of their goals, how will it get done?

She's going to follow the Len Stone plan.

What is the "Len Stone plan?"

How do you plan to get these plans done with no money. The city is bankrupt and any of the quarry, old waste water treatment plant, and turning Palmetto into the new downtown are 5-10 years away.

Big dreams no money

Len Stone plan is lock your self in your office and refuse to come out.

Oh how I love election season aka creative writing and yarn spinning. I ask you to vote for me because my vision for Pacifica is bigger and brighter than his/hers and I speak in warm, inclusive tones. I'm hugging you right now. Have I a clue about how to make these marvelous ideas happen? Of course not. Do I need to have a clue to get elected? Since when?

@834 How are we going to pay for all this cool stuff? That's a great question. Taxes, my friend. We're all going to join together and raise us some taxes. Together, see? Thanks for your support and your hard earned cash and all this togetherness.

I think Karen Ervin is weak. I believe she could be easily manipulated.

One of your signs is on the side of Manor Drive, on public park land. Please make it clear to supporters that yard signs are supposed to go on their property, not in our public parks.

I've seen a number of Spanos signs on public property too.
