Isn't this the question--whether it is that we continue with what we have had or inject new blood in to the conversation?
Judy Arnold:
1. Wants an $18,000,000.000 Bike bridge to service 100 bikers on weekends--and she wants you to pay for it.

2. Paid $50,000 for a parks Logo--that could have been done by local artists--but no
3. Instrumental in the $30,000,000.00 Computer debacle

4. Spent $850 EACH for a Supervisors Retreat--that allowed her to look at scenery and "take a deep breath"
5. Voted herself a 10% raise for all the good she has accomplished--did YOU get a 10% raise--Did Anyone in Private Sector in Novato?--I don't think so.
6. Judy says "The measure of a candidate is how much money they can raise"---REALLY--This is the attitude you want for Novato?
7 Judy spends the most of all Supervisors on her "Office"--$596,000 Dollars that YOU pay for!--Why does she need to be the most expensive Supe?
8. Judy Says "I am Proud of the County's pension plan"--Wunnerful---Wunnerful--I wonder if she read the IJ Today(5/9/14)???--The "Plan" is based on a 7.5% return and that return has not been realized (on average) over the last 12 years--4.5% would be a better plan.--This cost soaks up some 18% of YOUR tax's--to the detriment of every other County service!! BUT--she will benefit from that pension---let's make that sooner rather than later--OK?
9. Why invest in Tobacco at 7 million when the cost to Marin of Tobacco is $62 million (I realize that investing and this investment are debatable topics)
So again the question is --do you want to vote to continue this line of attitude--policy--spending--disregard for the citizens of Novato---or do you want a fresh approach to the challenges we all face? Huh?
Did I fail to mention that "Plan Bay Area"--The plan that wants Marin and Novato to look like El Camino Real---from San Francisco to San Jose---one continuous CITY---with a Myriad of apartment complex's---just like Corte Madera---Is Judys' Favorite Endeavor!!!!!
Toni on the other hand offers YOU that fresh approach ---you can take a deep breath instead of gasping at Judy's self imposed Nobility!
Many of the points in this article were gleaned from the Shroyer for Supervisor Committee
