Got an email from a friend to a friend to me this morning… Councilwoman Marti Emerald went to a San Carlos community meeting last night, chewing a double wad of gum the whole time. The crowd was not exactly friendly. The highlights:
Marti took some time to attack the Ethics Commission for picking on her… that they were being unfair about actually investigating complaints against her! She also blamed the Boling for Council campaign for filing the complaint… and since old Mr. Murphy knows exactly who filed the complaint I can assure Marti that the actual filer is much, much more amusing.
Then Marti got in a brawl with the locals over outsourcing city services (remember – we voters passed that a few years ago and the union dominated council, including Marti, have been blocking it and costing us millions of dollars a year in the process). Marti said that the whole process of outsourcing was ‘unfair’ to city bureaucrats – no mention of how unfair her stalling is to taxpayers and the voting public.
Much talk, in private and in public, at the meeting about Marti’s fake ‘Advisory Council’ and her failure to listen to anyone in the community outside her insiders. One comment repeated in the email “She thinks she knows everything, and makes sure we know that’s what she thinks.”
