Why is Joe Galligan making such a fuss about the supposed inadequacy of the PG&E public Open Houses? He was no where to be found when the actual work to get a better deal on the transmission lines was happening. Now when things have been decided, apparently to the satisfaction of the people who were most involved, Galligan is trying to stir the pot. But the stew is cold and ready for the refrigerator. Galligan is a shameless headline-chaser. It must be an election year.

Your last sentence is the key.
He will now take credit for everything that happens in Burlingame – the good things anyway. Everything from the new museum to crossing guard checks.
And if we believe any of it … there is a beautiful bridge for sale called the Golden Gate Bridge!
You are right!!! Most people have caught on to him-they know what he is really like.He is running again.He won”t try outside Burlingame
because he doesn’t have a chance.Nobody wants him.
This is yet another example of his lack of moral clarity. It was not too long ago, during a recent Council Meeting, he boasted about the fact he had been in contact with Safeway on almost a weekly basis. What is most troubling about his public proclamation is the fact he never mentioned these meetings during the event/meeting summary that each Council Member discusses at the end of each Council Meeting.
With as much attention as the Safeway issue has garnered, one would think any contact(s) with any Safeway representative(s) should be made public. I understand he is not compelled to make this disclosure under the Brown Act, but the moral high road would have been to disclosure these contacts. Now that he has made this public proclamation regarding the Safeway contacts, do you wonder, as I do, what was discussed and why did he feel it needed to be kept secret?
Rich, talking about secrecy, don’t you remember at the Council meeting when the council’s Safeway vote was about to be taken and all of a sudden Coffey said he was changing his “is that clear” message because there was a “new plan”. That must have been a big secret because it was news to everyone in the audience!
That was a rich (sorry Rich) “secret” moment in Burlingame politics!
