I was told that there was an event yesterday at Old Growth Cellars, "very hush hush and invite only with attendees including members from the business community. There were games? Impact Humboldt was mentioned and Redwood Capital Bank. I cannot find any listing for this obviously private event.
Sort of related to this "tip" was concerns among the more moderate to conservative members of the business community including those who frequent the Ingomar Club that Measure F will not pass because of the way the campaign is being handled. And doom and gloom about the two conservative Ward 2 and Ward 4 City of Eureka candidates I mentioned in today's 460 filings post.
These are not my definite opinions about Measure F or the City Council candidates because I have been busy with other more pressing issues in Humboldt and until November election results are in we will not know who and how many people voted. I feel that so far based on what I have seen and heard and not from the minority that takes over online but from talking to people while out and about; this doom and gloom and concerns amomg certain conservatives are valid. If I did not cover news or if I was someone who didn't read media or pay attention to what was happening; I wouldn't know there were elections for City of Eureka Ward 2 and 4.
People are too busy and the perception that they are looking at Facebook or finding Facebook pages not easily accessible on search or reading interviews has never worked in any local election. People are busy dealing with the day to day stresses and struggles of living in Humboldt and California. Businesses are concerned about the November election and what it means for their future. People talk to others they trust and are informed. That includes local media source readers know has their best interests. Results matter. Information that helped elect the current DA and two new Humboldt judges was consistently covered by only one source.
