Caroline Ginn endorses Bea Gardner

Wheeler: It's interesting that Bea says she is going to shrink government and is running as a "small government conservative" and the first thing she does is promise Caroline Ginn that she will "re-establish a utility commission". She says it will save money because they are made up of volunteers. This shows her lack of government understanding. Committees have to be staffed, they have to have minutes taken. Nothing is free in government.

Bea seems to say what she thinks works at the moment, kind of like the guy in the White House.

Wilson: This election year has less local flavor and national issues are front and center. Allowing Obamacare to stand will change everything. If it wasn't a clear choice before it is now.

Reelect Obama and Obamacare is a fact. Elect Romney and repeal is on the table. Republicans will be out in force.

Republican turnout will affect several races including the sherriffs race and the supervisor of elections where Democrats can vote. Democrats cannot vote in the District 3 Commission race between Tim Zorc and Bea Gardner.

At a recent Republican meeting Bea Gardner was asked a question she could not answer. You see, Bea Gardner has been writing a weekly blog that specialized in nasty. Bea became the "queen of mean" calling women on City Council "hens" and dubbing others as "Headless" or "morons". She was asked with this history of disrespect for City officials and especially women how she expected to work with them as a Commissioner. Her answer, "If it bothers you vote for someone else".

I agree with Bea, We should all vote for someone else.
