TONI- It Bears Repeating...

It does bear repeating that Toni Shroyer is the best woman for the job.  The best bet for your future.  The best choice for the citizens of Novato.  Why? Well sometimes our leaders jus wear out their welcome.  Now we can articulate Arnold's faults/negatives and we can celebrate Tonis' positives and that is what most articles seem to do but the essence of the conversation should be ---who is really best suited to do the job and then who has your best interests at heart?  Toni is the winner when it comes to who is for the average citizen of Novato--hands down--- she is not accepting conations from the political machine--the unions the - state groups the developers--no she is accepting donations from the everyday citizens of Novato.  Similar to one of our most revered politicians she has asked herself ---"what can I do for my County"--Where Judy has asked--"What can my County do for ME"--Oh a 10% raise---I like that and I will take it as well as donations from every large well financed county/developer--and state group/union that I can coerce. 

Those of us that see Toni as an honest straight forward candidate that just wants to donate her time to making Novato and Marin a better place to be know that she is up against a well entrenched political machine.  We need your help in spreading the word that there is someone with your interests at heart who is willing to work and fight for you---please help us increase the voting base for Toni!

Judy is bringing up age as an issue--and well she might,  her age we may not have her in office for the full term so who will finish her term?  She has hand picked her probable successor--and should she get in---- like Gavin Newsom said--you will get Affordable aHousing in large numbers ---"Whether you like it or not!"  So make your choice for the better of Novato and the County.

Those of you that for some reason denigrate Toni--though she has not been instrumental in passing anything that would affect you negatively--please rethink your position.  Go back and read what she stands for--she is a friend of yours even as some post negatively. 

On a broader scale--there comes a time in the events of political history when it is just the right thing to do to elect new blood.  Politicians become self centered and over confident and they sometimes begin to push their ideology and agenda instead of what is good for the average citizen---their ego's get pumped up to the point that they and they alone know what is good for you--they don't want your opinion because  with all their personal expierence and knowledge--they know best.  That is exactly how Corte Madera ended up with that monstrosity of an apartment project--the council knew better than any citizen or group of citizens--did you know that there are no separate water meters there---in a drought plagued County--no water meter???  Why would the occupant save on water use--he doesn't see the bill!!!  What did the Council say after they realized the project was too big?-----"Not our fault-- we just passed what ABAG said"--not my fault!!!  REALLY?  How bout we take back the ability to mold our future by electing someone that thinks about us! Can we do that?------- Yes We Can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
