Council Racing Towards Election

The SF Examiner has the first detailed piece on the November 8th City Council race.  The race started back in June and each campaign has kicked-off so the issues are finally coming to press.  Here are pieces of each candidate's platform from the article

Ricardo Ortiz:  His priority would be to fund pension liabilities for city employees, which he said are “significantly underfunded,” and to “unequivocally oppose” high-speed rail in Burlingame.

Nagel is not opposed to high-speed rail, but strongly opposes an aerial or four-track design.
“What I have always stood for is building community,” Nagel said.

 

Recently elected to the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board of Caltrain, and serving as vice chair of SamTrans, Deal has worked to “protect” neighborhoods from high-speed rail and “the wireless telecom companies.”

 

We will update you with the dates of the debates, campaign finances and such as they come available.

    Ricardo will have to run a perfect effort to beat either one of these incumbents but there are plenty of people pulling for him and Deal to win. The article says Nagel is a former something or other. Does that mean she may be short of cash for this run.
