Sharon LaTour, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me

When I spoke with Sharon LaTour before her announcement yesterday, she was very concerned about 
my post about her filing to run against Ryan Sundberg and me having a problem reaching her.

She said she had a lot of explaining to do. She gave me her home phone number and email. I had asked
 her a couple questions and told her I would email her some later. She assured me she would be available.

These are the questions I emailed her and asked for a response in writing:

1.Can you give me some specifics on how you plan to bring about these jobs and support local businesses?
2. How many building permits on an average do you think were issued in a year?
3. You were asked what if the GPU is passed before you take office, that is assuming new supervisors are elected?
4. What issues do you see as priority to be addressed in McKinleyville in your first term?

I gave a very objective report of her announcement. Have not heard back, not even I am busy, will get back to you.

Same thing with Chris Kerrigan, accessible one day, no contact the other. Whether Richard Salzman is involved with these two campaigns or not, he is the one bringing up the GPU in his LOCO column. There have been some members of the Local Democratic party, including some who lost last election who have a 
personal interest in defeating Ryan and Virginia.

So all this happy trail talk and loving the air and water is nice and touchy-feely, but mums the word on specifics.

If you are going to bring about change and prosperity and are so for the working class struggling, name concrete ideas. Unless of course, your handlers advise you to keep quiet or you don't have a clue.'

In fact, go ahead and answer these questions for LOCO, Times-Standard, NorthCoast Journal, if you want;
include me in that press release or not but avoiding them shows that you are not running for the right reason.
