Business and Community PAC supports our Main Street voice


Pacifica Tribune, Letters to the editor, 9/9/14.  "This Election-- Better Decisions" by Jim Wagner, Chair, Pacifica BACPAC.

City Council candidates forum, 9/23/14.
Let's hear about Highway 1 safety improvement,
Beach Blvd project/Palmetto Avenue rejuvenation,
and supporting our schools
.
"Editor:  On September 1, the Pacifica Chamber of Commerce ended their involvement in the Chamber of Commerce Business and Community Political Action Committee. The new Pacifica Business and Community Political Action Committee, operating independent of the Chamber of Commerce, will take the lead in advocacy for our businesses and community. Pacifica  BACPAC is strongly aligned with the core beliefs of the Chamber of Commerce. A strong business/community relationship improves our town and builds a stronger community.

This city would benefit by
a whole lot more "Main Street",
and a whole lot less "let it rot".
Pacifica BACPAC will be a moderate voice in our community's ongoing important discussions including Highway 1 safety improvement, the Beach Blvd. project, Palmetto Ave rejuvenation, so we have a real Main Street, and support of our schools. There is a large, hard working, silent majority in town that has lacked a strong voice in the direction Pacifica takes. We intend to listen to that voice and make sure that those who make the decisions, and allocate scarce resources, know Pacifica deserves to be heard.

Pacifica BACPAC will be sponsoring a candidates forum, along with San Mateo County Association of Realtors on September 23 at the Council Chambers from 6:30-8:30 p.m. We invite all to come and listen to our city council candidates address pressing issues of the day. Pacifica BACPAC will also be hosting meet and greets with our elected officials from state and county office. These are not fund raisers and are designed so that individuals can have some "face time" with our elected officials to express their concerns or thanks for the hard work the officials perform. We are currently working on a schedule to invite our State Assemblyman, Kevin Mullin, to come speak with us.

The Pacifica Business and Community PAC looks forward to working with many of you in the future. Our board is comprised of proven community and business leaders deeply committed to a better and more vibrant Pacifica. Hoping to see you at the Sept. 23 council forum."

Another group that will fail like the rest of them.

How is it that the Chamber completely flubs every press release it touches?

The Chamber ended involvement with their previous PAC and now a new PAC is starting up which is totally independent of the Chamber yet somehow still reflects the "core beliefs of the Chamber." WTF? Most confusing letter ever.

Here's probably what REALLY happened:

The previous PAC was lead by some Grade A jerk(s) which soured everyone on the Chamber and membership was expressing major displeasure. The Chamber jettisoned the individual(s) responsible for the toxic climate and hit the "reset" button by forming a new PAC. Supposedly, this new PAC is to be kept at arm's length from the Chamber, yet a Chamber flack pens the letter to the editor describing the new PAC and somehow, magically, the new PAC is the embodiment of Chamber "values."

Yeah, that's about it. Totally Pacifica.
