Political consultants don't care about city's welfare |
|
Recent letters by supporters of Advocates for a Better Cupertino (ABC) demonstrate that information, data and statistics are nothing more than nuisances, which they prefer to reject in favor of unsubstantiated claims.
This is typical of the ABC campaign run by political consultants who will stop at nothing to impose their political will on the citizens of Cupertino while attacking anyone who questions their claims. Comparing the "affordable housing" issue in Cupertino to the heroin trade is an example of the ABC's sick tactics. In making a decision regarding the Concerned Citizens of Cupertino initiatives in the November election, knowledge is power for the voters. Every voter should make the effort to become informed about the issues and the initiatives and to demand that claims be backed by supporting information. Furthermore, information that refutes arguments by either side should not be ignored but studied further. Voters should not allow their opinions to be shaped by political consultants who have no interest in Cupertino other than being paid for their services. Robert L.
