We candidates got about seven minutes to answer seven questions. I’m just grateful that the two quotes from me in the DNT story don’t make me sound too stupid.
I was amazed that the potential selling of Central to Edison would come to dominate the coverage of the story. I thought my suggestion that such a possibility might be made palatable with some sort of agreed upon cap was positively brilliant. I just wish there had been mention of my call to our hosts the Chamber of Commerce to support the levy. I told them that after their unqualified support of the half billion Red Plan they really ought to support a levy. Otherwise it would be like investing in a huge store and then not hiring the staff to sell merchandise. I told them I was sure their good business sense would lead them to my conclusion.
Oh yeah. And a rumor recently reached me that our District was offered $8 million for Central but turned it down. Make of that what you will.
