Contra Costa Times continues campaign finance coverup
June 2, 2008
The Contra Costa Times continues to allow its political reporter, Lisa Vorderbrueggen, to avoid full disclosure concerning her complete refusal to cover the subornation of the electoral process in Contra Costa County by special interest Independent Expenditures. In an comment (#34) posted on her blog, Lisa Vorderbrueggen does nothing but dissemble and tell tall tales to avoid admitting the truth that she was either played by campaign managers posing as her friends or she is a bent reporter that lets her political bias inform her decisions about what to write about or not.

Assembly candidate Kamena pledges to protect Urban Limit Line; challenges electeds
March 9, 2008
“Voters elect leaders to uphold their values, not to over-ride them,” Scott Kamena announced as he signed a written pledge to uphold the popular will of Contra Costa County and San Ramon residents by supporting the voter approved Urban Limit Line. Kamena has issued a challenge to elected leaders to join him in signing the pledge.
Kamena’s is yet another response to the news that San Ramon politicians, backed by high-powered developer interests, have submitted an application to the Local Agency Formation Commission to take control of the Tassajara Valley. “Such plans would pave the way for companies to develop the entire area—a proposal that voters have rejected time and time again,” says Kamena.
Kamena’s campaign has started an online petition for individuals who would like to join him in demanding that the City of San Ramon withdraw its application immediately. Any elected official or candidate for office can download it from the Kamena for Assembly website, www.scottkamena.com.
