You may say to yourself, what do these people even do?
And you may ask yourself - is this actually doing anything for improving park trails and access to the outdoors?
(And the answer is - Not really! Not measurably.)

It only took CA State Parks and CA Natural Resources Agency TWO YEARS to *begin* to figure out how to spend money we all voted for for parks and trails

I am not sad to see Maraskeshia Smith go from Santa Rosa... a seemingly decent person who NEVER bothered to attend an IT staff meeting or introduce herself... after more than 3 years. Not a team builder. Kind of a gaping hole.

My how times have changed...
When I was in college the swim team I was on regularly threw 'keggers'... and they were always a hit.
My son sends me photos of the 20 people attending his Saturday morning "Pancaker"

Is it possible to campaign any more pandery to public safety than Mike McGuire?
Sorry Mike. You can support without the overt bootlicking. I'll be voting for someone else.
