A trusted source told me that our brave Commissioners Todd Portune and David Pepper are seriously thinking of withdrawing their excellent Comprehensive Safety Plan. We cannot let this happen! Don't they have enough confidence in their plan to debate it out in the open?
We need this Sales Tax increase. This plan provides for a big new jail, $160 million of extra social programs, and $600 million extra to expand the rest of county government. Our Sheriff Si Leis supports it, and when Si Leis endorses something you can take it to the bank. Si's word is gold in this county.
Call Commissioners Portune and Pepper and tell them to leave this plan on the ballot. Call Sheriff Si Leis and tell him to force the Commissioners to stand behind their plan. We deserve to have a chance to vote for this. What would it say about their leadership abilities if they allowed COAST and 39,000 voters to intimidate them? Our brave County Commissioners Portune and Pepper would look very stupid if they told us in May that they were so proud of their plan they were willing to pass it without a vote of the people, then withdrew their plan as soon as they had to defend it. That would be cowardly and we believe our Sheriff when he says they aren't cowards.
