Some may have badges, elected roles or fancy titles with authority but they surely don’t automatically come with ethics. Ethics is not a “factory setting”. Councilmember Karen Hardy said it best, “you either have ethics or you don’t” and clearly there are those in this city and county that do not have any. More importantly ... Read more
Roger KintAre you listening, Jude Barry? Based on what was described in court, you track every word the Santa Clara Weekly/Silicon Valley Voice pushes out about Santa Clara. So I’m sure this will reach you—if not directly, then through Mayor Gillmor or one of the many disciples of what people in town openly call the “Gillmor mafia.” This ... Read more
