With these group efforts, she also has successfully rounded-up people to speak at these meetings. <br /><br />Additionally: 5) she is responsible for the quality speakers and speaker's forums sponsored through the Pacifica Democrats Club, 6) she has frequent Club and posting in the Tribune, and periodically moderates various forums. 7) she was appointed to and held an important post on the county grand jury, and county citizen's transportation committee, 8) she's involved at leadership level on committees and clubs in Pacifica. 9) she supports affecting a city "dog park(s), a 21st century library, completion of a museum, a balanced city budget, a city with an improved infrastructure (economy, civic function and environment).<br /><br />So, guess she isn't completely self-absorbed Anon. Got your "back stabbed" because you crossed her? Sorry, maybe apologize, do what you can to amend and move on-- or not. <br /><br />For those who missed the <a href="http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/" rel="nofollow">Darwin Awards</a> reference by Anon 9/30, 10:26pm, here it is again.Kathy Meehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000878422176050692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-6124728260441747842010-10-01T08:42:15.620-07:002010-10-01T08:42:15.620-07:00Looks like the campaign manager for one of Barbara...Looks like the campaign manager for one of Barbara's opponents is commenting here.Steve Sinainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-38858288715260029312010-10-01T07:48:59.302-07:002010-10-01T07:48:59.302-07:00Barbara?

BTW, Richard Arietta (Barbara's husband) dropped off one of her candidate front yard signs yesterday.
