Local Elections Update - Mark Klang is All Over the Rocklin City Council

First off he tells us why we should toss the incumbents out of the Rocklin City Council
An excerpt caught my attention: For the record, Councilman Scott Yuill is an advisor for the WSCA. He would not even voice his support for the school when the WSCA leadership team presented their charter to the Rocklin School Board. Why bother to be an advisor when you will not support the cause? Is Mr. Yuill trying to build his resume for a higher office? Mr. Yuill has been on the council for less than 2 years and he is already out of touch with people of Rocklin.
The Rocklin school board shot down a charter from the organization that is running the best-performing school in Placer County. Scott Yuill, the newest Rocklin City Councilmember did nothing, even though he is an advisor to the WSCA – the charter that got derailed.
Given that Yuill endorsed Ose after refusing to support Doolittle – could Yuill’s desire to play both sides be catching up to him quickly after less than 2 years in office?
Then Klang follows up on the ‘Good Ol Boy’s Network’ theme.
For the record – this blogger counts Kathy Lund as a personal friend. While Lund is not up for re-election this time around, I can see no reason why she deserves the same scorn that Yuill and Brett Storey (both actively campaigned for Ose) deserve.
Of note – George Magnussen (sp?) was a leader in the failed recall of Klein and Simmons.
File this under the category of small world – Lund, Klein and Simmons have all been PCRA endorsed in the past.
Finally – with all due respect to Mark Klang (also a friend) given that the opponents to the incumbents appear to be a bunch of disgruntled Democrats that tried to stop Clover Valley’s development (that was approved years ago)...
Someone had better come up with some good candidates and reasons before they will get serious consideration for their bid to unseat “the good old boys”.
I am sure we have not heard the end – be sure to keep an eye on Better Rocklin
