Who knew? This letter is pretty boiler-plate Sierra Club turndown for a candidate who they may very well see elected and want to lobby in the future on issues. They don't burn bridges. But, to the ethical point, all this could have been avoided if Mr. Spano would have prefaced his remarks to whomever asked with, "I didn't get their endorsement, but blah blah blah".<br />You can't afford to leave a questionable impression. Ardent fans will tell you otherwise, but they're ardent fans. For someone trying to decide between you and the true blue, community workhorse Ruchames, you should be above reproach.

I felt they liked me, and furthermore, I liked them....Here is the letter Ken King sent me, cut and pasted:<br /><br /><br />ken king<br />Sep 7<br /><br />to me, Mary, John, Pamela, Ann <br />Dear Mr. Spano,<br /><br />I want to thank you again for participating in the Sierra Club's political endorsement process. We enjoyed meeting you and learning more about your views for changing the direction of Pacifica's City Council to make it more in touch with what its average citizens desire. We found ourselves in accord with a number of your ideas, and think that you might make a dynamic leader in a council sorely in need of one. <br /><br />Unfortunately, because Sierra Club focuses primarily on helping elect environmental stewards to political office, we could not draw the conclusion that you were in our camp on important issues that we care about. We commend you for being willing to sponsor meetings to vet citizen opinions regarding the Caltrans Highway 1 expansion, but we also note that your stated position backs that project "with caveats." Your smart growth ideas for the northeastern portion of Pacifica make a lot of sense, and your idea of increasing the City's transient occupancy tax through permitting citizens to rent rooms for B & B purposes is a creative idea for expanding revenue and tourism at the same time. We like that you "think outside of the box."<br /><br />Despite the fact we won't endorse you for this election, we recognize that you are electable, so want to conclude by wishing you the best in your effort to gain voter attention, and we hope that if you should be elected, that we will be able to continue dialoging with you about our mutual interests.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Ken King, Chair<br />Sierra Club Loma Prieta Chapter <br />Endorsement Committee for Pacifica City Council Election 2014Victor Spanohttp://victorspano.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-24581483857259938742014-10-02T13:52:34.548-07:002014-10-02T13:52:34.548-07:00Sierra Club endorsements have been known and used ...Sierra Club endorsements have been known and used by the endorsed candidates for weeks. Here's an interesting quote from Victor Spano made on his Facebook page on 9/23 @ 918pm in response to someone who didn't like his highway stance. "The Sierra Club even likes me, with some caveats." Look for it under a photo of Victor with a SF Golf Alliance guy. I'd say he knew even then that he didn't have their endorsement and he's cutting corners. People who cut corners, cut corners. Caveat may be the perfect word.
