Letters To The Editor

Hidden in all the various emails and files from Senate investigators is the tale of Sean Fergurson, a long time associate of the 49ers who also did work for the Republic of Kazakhstan. Ferguson had offices in San Francisco and the Soviet town of Almaty. Connected to business interests of the Yorks. Ferguson knew of Ro Khanna's opposition to trade deals with Kazakhstan..and the country's good relations with Mike Honda. Indeed Ferguson knew he could be connected with the 49ers and the Blupac crew and assigned bots to slander people like Haggag, Tino Silva, and people like Haugh. Sean Ferguson is still.out there, evading Mueller, Adam Schiff, even our City Attorney. Scared that Haugh and the POA was getting close, Ferguson escaped to Montenegro funded by the Yorks. Well, if this not true, it ought to be

Seems the City  Council is giving away money!!  Of course $578,346 is being given to an outside "organization"  a Philadelphia company,  to once again, for the EIGHTH time to revitalize our lost downtown.  They have this contract for three years and our city manager can extend it for another three should they ask.  I have no doubt they will as it is free money!! Why is this losing project continuing??  If it has failed seven times, why try once again??  The loss that was won years ago cannot be replaced now.  Those citizens who lived here at the time the downtown disappeared are likely no longer here, so who is asking for its return??  The group that is at the heart of it declares this to be a "Once in a lifetime opportunity"!! I agree with that statement, but there have been seven previous efforts, what about all those "opportunities"??  I

The Teresa ONeill Fake News Service, otherwise known as the Balloon Gut Blog, is at it again. Route 65 is out, because, as Teresa’s Boy writes, it was not supported. VTA could not promote it well. Ladies and Gentlemen, I know that VTA’s Public Affairs has been a cesspool of incompetence for three decades. Failed legislative aides either work for VTA or the Water District, not Walmart where they belong. Arias, Broughton, and a dozen others worked there. Route 65 serviced the working poor, a group Teresa O’Neill avoids whenever possible unless she has plenty of Purel. Magdalena Carrasco, a person I have opposed for years, does have the desire to help the working poor, she gets it, O’Neill continues to rely on Jude, Bobby, why? Well that is her kitchen cabinet.
