OPINION by ADAM VERDIN An open letter to San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Jimmy Paulding: Given the public nature of your endorsement of Charles Varni
Given the public nature of your endorsement of Charles Varni for the Oceano Community Services District , in the form of a letter being disseminated door to door in Oceano and Halcyon, I decided to address my concerns in a public forum as well. While I understand your personal friendship with Mr. Varni, I urge you to reconsider this endorsement in light of his troubling behavior and the risks his leadership poses to our community.As one example, recently an email surfaced showing Mr.
While Mr. Varni has only your endorsement thus far, Shirley’s support reflects a broad community consensus that she is the trusted leader Oceano needs. Local business owners and agricultural leaders, including John Taylor, the Loomis family, Mr. Lopez of La Tapatia, Rapp Farms, the Hayashi Brothers, Stan Ikeda, and Rock and Roll Diner, also back Shirley. Her proven ability to listen, collaborate, and work with diverse voices is exactly what Oceano requires.
I encourage you to join the many informed civic and business leaders who have experienced working directly with both Mr. Varni and Shirley. They support Shirley because they recognize her as the right choice for a united and thriving Oceano.The comments below represent the opinion of the writer and do not represent the views or policies of CalCoastNews.com.
