After I followed up with spokesperson Ms. Gail Rymer for the second time yesterday about a response from the Yes on F campaign regarding the November 2 post I did about Humboldt Bay Coffee owner Luci Ramirez's online post and remarks emailed to me as well as the November 3 post after Eureka Mayor Kim Bergel contacted me, Ms. Rymer sent me a statement today at 2:49 p.m. I appreciate her sending me this response before election day.

Yes on F statement:

“All statements printed in a recent YES ON MEASURE F direct mail piece and press release were from recorded testimony given at public Eureka City Council hearings over the past few years. The testimony is the essence of public record. These quotes were selected to illustrate the long-term, ongoing pleas to the council over the need to address housing and parking together, particularly in the context of helping Old Town and Downtown Eureka businesses survive. 

“The specific excerpts of testimony quoted – which are publicly available on the city’s website of council meeting recordings – showed members of the public and the business community appealing to the council over agenda items directly related to the city's ill-advised plans to remove public parking lots and erect new housing structures. 

“The Measure F campaign sought to stress the goals of Measure F: to provide housing and to preserve the parking our businesses need to survive.”
