Power to the People!

Another exciting debate for Petaluma City Council. Thank you to the Argus and Petaluma Chamber of Commerce for hosting. I am sure the link will be up soon, but in the meantime, here is a snap poll of how the audience felt at the end of the night. Thank you, Petaluma. 40 days to go; let’s do this.

News Alert: City Council Gabe Kearney: 16-Counts Campaign Finance Violations. The Fair Political Practices Commission cited Gabe Kearney for 16 violations.

Ann Ravel, former Chair of FPPC said the number of alleged violations listed in the complaint against the Petaluma City Council member is unusually high and could result in a large fine: “This is an awful lot of instances of violations. It’s quite unusual actually.”

Ravel said she believes that the commission’s staff would have considered the possibility of a "paperwork error" (Kearney's excuse) before deciding that there was probable cause: “... If [FPPC] thought that [Kearney’s explanation] was a reasonable rationale ... they would not have charged him.”

Violations suggest disregard for rules, Oath of City Council, and questions about the large amount of money Kearney receives from Real Estate Developers. Kearney’s running mates, Mike Healy and Kathy Miller, are also majorly funded by many of the same out-of-town Developers.

Violations include failing to file eight campaign finance statements on time for the entire past 4 years Kearney has been in office, and soliciting and accepting campaign contributions outside of 2016 election campaign.

Mike Healy objects to standard funding of our children's education.

When Petaluma City School District approved an increase in development fees in July to bring them inline with state standard and increased Petaluma development, Healy whined: “This action is incredibly unhelpful in the midst of a regional housing crisis." NEWS FLASH Mike: no one buys that "argument" given Petaluma is 820% OVER quota for luxury housing. VOTE OUT Healy, Kearney and Miller who are in the pockets of out-of-town developers.

SOLD! Healy, Kearney and Miller have shamefully sold off Petalumans' quality of life to their big out-of-town developer campaign contributors.

The evidence: we are 820% over our housing quota for market/luxury housing (and just 64% affordable quota); suffer terrible traffic and streets riffled with potholes; and our City is in dire financial straits even before COVID. Shout it out from the hill-tops: "Vote them out!"

More Brain Barnacle leadership and innovation for benefit of people -- not big developer campaign contributors.

This is Harry; he has been at the fairgrounds for the last week. Harry appreciates the dozens of volunteers who helped evacuate and care for him and the hundreds of other animals who were displaced due to the fires.

Harry is grateful Petaluma has not carved up and sold its fairgrounds to out of town interests. With the fairgrounds lease coming up in 2023, Harry hopes we elect people who see the cultural and community value that the fair represents to Petaluma—not just the dollars and cents that we can get from selling it off. Harry does not want people who are in the pockets of out of town developers deciding on its future.

Harry endorses me because preserving and enhancing the integrity of our fairgrounds is important to me and I see it as the cultural and essential service hub of our diverse community.

Thank you to the many volunteers who helped at the fairgrounds this week. Let’s replace the incumbents this November and save our fairgrounds.

"The Healy contingent of the Petaluma City Council is a group which fluctuates in number from two to four members. Councilmember Kathy Miller is a charter member of the group. ... Councilmember Gabe Kearney almost always wants to be a part of the progressive, more public interest-inclined wing of the council, perpetually agreeing with most of what they have to say before voting with the other side. Kearney could be described as an off-the-books member who fakes left before voting right."
