Making a Difference on the BoS

By Emerson Drake

In June we have one of those rare chances to make deference in our and our children’s lives. We have several extremely important decisions facing us at the polls.We have the opportunity to change the way the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors envisions the future of this county.


At the present we have a group of men determined to allow a greedy developer to build homes with the creation of jobs being secondary.Carmen Sabatino and Terry Withrow are against the West Park project as it has been designed.

Unfortunately Dick Monteith has been scared by the prospect of Gerry Kamilos contributing to his opponents so he has knuckled under and become a supporter of this misguided attempt at an industrial park(remember Kamilos’ $28,500.00 donation to Jeff Grover just prior to the last election.)

Gerry Kamilos with his “Wizard of OZ” like refrain, if I only had a train, has failed miserably to bring jobs to Stanislaus County for several years now but the Board steadfastly refuses to even consider allowing someone else to take the project over.

To this point in time only Jim DeMartini has stood against this greed and manipulation of the electoral process.

It’s time us our heads and get him some help since he’s been out voted every time the project comes up.

Carmen Sabatino and Terry Withrow are the men for the job.
