Loma Prieta Sierra Club Endorsement Issue, pdf pages 8. "Election Insight, 2014, October, 2014."
| The Sierra Club fails this city again. The "green" this city needs is cash. |
.... See John Maybury, Loma Prieta Sierra Club, Pacifica Endorsement Team Member, (page 4): "Re-elect Pacifica's Green Council member Sue Digre"; "Elect highway-widening for John Keener".
Comment: Remember the Sierra Club does not support our city economy, our need for significant economic development, or even our 1.3 mile highway modernization (widening). The Sierra Club worked against our quarry development in 2006 along with other regional "environmental" groups, see No on L. This is our city, protect it and our citizens who live here, reject these candidates. John Maybury no longer lives here, should he campaign to choose our city council members?

Do I detect a smoking gun?
So it's pretty clear john maybury was pushing his column to assist Keener and Digre. Maybe a month and a half ago, the Sierra Club interview team was selected and Maybury was a member. His column drum beat starts on the highway and other topics that help Keener and Digre who then are endorsed. Well played!!
819 You're surprised by this or just milking the obvious? Old news, if it was ever news.
901, this may not be news to you personally, it may be news with an explanation mark for others. Whereas those who submit political letters-to-the-editor may write one article, up to 250 words, the Wandering and Wondering column has had an open forum. Kind of lopsided NIMBY political assault on city intelligence, don't you think?
It wouldn't be lop-sided if the paper allowed/searched for a column of another persuasion. Surely the talent exists. Present other viewpoints. Preferable to censorship.
Maybury's politial agenda was news to one person, his Tribune editor. And Maybury gets suspended. Transparency is important. Poorly played Mr Maybury.
The Tribune hasn't censored anyone. The rules were wantonly violated with complete understanding of what he was doing. Would one call it, Rovian!
All the babble on the other stream on this blog defending Maybury was more misdirection on the Gang-of-No's part. Tough when the lead up plan is exposed for what it is.
Haha Maybury's been Maybury for years, through several election cycles. There's a new interim editor flexing and fumbling along. Balance Maybury's column with one of an opposing view. That's what real newspapers do. Of course that's beyond the Pathetica Tribune so we get censorship instead. Oh well, John will have more time to work on other things.
if it's ugly, no one will want to stay here. Turn Pacifica into another Torrance, California and you'll get a ... Torrance California: somewhere to move away from.

as far as the paper -- The Trib keeps it pretty one-sided so there's no 'controversy'.
