I have spoken with Tim Herman at length and will be posting on his views on a variety of issues. I have been sharply critical of his leanings that I believe to be those of a mainstream Liberal.

I have known Tim for 13 years through the Roseville Chamber of Commerce – the bulk of Tim’s Supporters are related to the Chamber in one way or another.

I think, however that it would be fair to repeat Tim’s words and let the readers decide. I will also offer my opinions – as in here with the Ballot Statement: (my issues with it follow the statement)

Tim Herman Age 49

Occupation: Roseville Dentist / Local Business Owner

Education and Qualifications: Graduate of UCSF School of Dentistry

I will bring a new perspective to the council while I continue to work for a community that is safe and secure. I will take a balanced approach to local planning issues, proactively protecting our environment and promoting our outstanding parks and recreation programs. I will work to keep the costs of local government down while growing our local economy.

I have served as a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, served as a Roseville Chamber President, a member of the Youth Sports Coalition, as well as serving on the City’s Sustainability Action Plan Committee.

As a resident of Roseville for more than 18 years, I have been privileged to be involved in a wide range of community activities. I have raised a family, built my business and been a leader in many community organizations.

I am proud to have the support of Sheriff Ed Bonner, Mayor Gina Garbolino and Councilmember Carol Garcia.

Please call me with your questions or concerns at 217-2458, or email me at info@votetimherman.com. I would appreciate your vote on November 2nd.

1. Sustainability Action Plan Committee – translation Green. How Green? Wind Turbines? Mandated Recycling? Banning certain common items from the city? That is not going to resonate well with the right-leaning voters in the city.

2. “Everyone loves Ed Bonner” – I keep getting told, but he’s a Democrat. I love Gina Garbolino – She’s a Democrat as well. (She endorsed my Mother for School Board) Carol Garcia Re-Registered from Dem to Republican prior to running for office. Again – Mr. Herman’s ballot statement leans left with his selection of endorsements that he featured.

3. My biggest issue – Like Mr. Larson, Mr. Herman appears to be taking a “Green” tilt in his campaign -

I will take a balanced approach to local planning issues, proactively protecting our environment and promoting our outstanding parks and recreation programs.

Mr Herman is the only candidate to mention protecting the Environment in his campaign statement. This is another play to the left and could doom his campaign’s attempt to expand to the right.

Typically, protecting the environment is a hallmark of the campaigns of Liberal Democrats.

The rest of his ballot statement is a solid resume of community service and time in business.

A little over a week ago, the Roseville Press-Tribune ran an article on David Larson for Roseville City Council.

We covered it here on Right on Daily. David moved here to Roseville with his wife/spouse/husband from the Bay Area.

David is also featuring the endorsements of prominent Placer County Liberals – like Jennifer Montgomery who voted against a county ordinace to ban project labor agreements in Placer County.

But Larson leads with his left – big time. It is hard to understand why the Placer County Democrat Party is abandoning David, he should be their poster child… A bay-area liberal who was Married by Gavin Newsome?

Of note – David highlights his participating in the Sustainability Action Committee, the Growth Management Committee and the like. When you couple this with the Democrat endorsements – you can safely conclude that he is both Green and Anti-Growth.

DAVID LARSON Age: 46
Occupation: Roseville Planning Commissioner/Small Business
Owner
Education and Qualifications: I have a Bachelor’s in
Marketing/Economics from SJSU. My community involvement and
qualifications include: Roseville Planning Commission, Roseville’s
Sustainability Action Committee, Roseville Parks and Recreation Commission, Project Play Committee, Roseville Chamber Mentoring
Program, Roseville Leadership Program, Roseville Growth Management Vison Committee, and Revitalization Committee.
Volunteer work: Blue Oaks Neighborhood Association, Tommy Apostolos Fund, Neverforgetourfa!len organization, March of Dimes, and One Root Festival.
My current role as Planning Commissioner provides valuable experience to effectively manage our city’s growth while maintaining its culturally rich history, character, and warmth. Our city government must deliver practical and creative solutions to the challenges the city of Roseville faces today. As a councilmember, I would work collaboratively to support fiscally sound planning, strengthen our local economy, and enhance public safety.
I am proud to be endorsed by: the Roseville Police Association, Jennifer Montgomery – Placer County Supervisor 5th District, and David Uribe – Chairman Roseville Library Board.
Please join me in moving Roseville forward. I ask for your support on November 2nd – together we can ensure that Roseville continues to develop as one of the most attractive and vibrant cities in the country.

A few weeks ago, I got an email about several Tea-Party affiliated candidates who filed for local office here in Placer County.

Dave Brown appears to be one such candidate in Roseville. Read his Ballot Statement here and see how it contrasts to the liberal moonbat, Neil Pople:

DAVID BROWN Age: 41
Occupation: Small Business Owner
Education and Qualifications: My drive to become a city council member stems from my opposition to excessive government spending, taxation and assault on our liberties. I believe success stems from three values; government has to be fiscally responsible, limited in its powers and allow for the free enterprise system to prosper.

My successes in life have not come easy. I served in the US Navy for 9 years as a member of the Special Forces. After leaving the Navy, I created a successful small business that has supported my wife and 2 children for the last 10 years.

My promise to you is, I will not vote for any measure that will increase taxes or fees in any form. I will do everything in my power to reduce
taxes and size of government. My goal is to make the necessary changes to government for the citizens of Roseville.

It is time for the citizens to take back this government. If your values and beliefs are aligned with mine, I know you will vote for me. It is not
too late to correct the direction this country is headed.

David Brown

This is a ballot statement for a church service or an Assembly Campaign! Mr. Brown also forgot to put his website on his statement. I’d love to have a soda with this guy, it will remain to be seen what kind of campaign he can mount.

Neil Pople: Age 30. Former candidate for Placer County Democrat Central Committee – who railed against the war in Iraq etc. (like any moonbat of the left did back when Bush was President)

Now, it is time to run for City Council, and next Congress? Frankly, I think Mall Cop might have been a batter occupation – but I digress…

NEIL POPLE Age: 30
Occupation: Legal Clerk
Education and Qualifications: I have lived in Roseville for nearly 22 years and love the city I call home. I’m running for City Council because I believe a 21st century city needs 21st century leadership. We are facing a critical time in Roseville, and success or failure depends on the next generation of leaders. We cannot afford to simply look to old ways to solve new problems. It’s going to take innovation, courage and transparency to make Roseville the city it deserves to be.

If elected, I will be a willing ear to listen and a strong voice to represent you. I want to serve this community and help repair our faltering economy, support our men & women in uniform, help improve the state of our schools and keep the high quality of life we all enjoy. If elected, I can promise that I will do my best to represent the community that helped raise me. I want to help lead real, positive change, but I need your vote to do it.

CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!! He said absolutely nothing. What a waste of money.

This is the worst Trojan Horse Fraud ever.

Prop 25, if passed would:

1) Lower the threshold for a budget to a simple majority
2) Lower the threshold for tax increases to a simple majority
3) ELIMINATE THE REFERENDUM SYSTEM

Did you catch that? Remember Prop 72 – that overturned SB2, the John Burton socialized medicine bill a few years ago.

That same John Burton – Czar of the State Senate along with Bill Lockyer has conceived the greatest fraud since the Nunez-Burton attempt to gut term limits.

Prop 25.

What are the proponents of Prop 25 trying to do to fool Conservatives – they say No Budget, No Pay. It is the “budget accountability act” all over again.

Oh, and Jerry Brown actually did NOT get sued over this title and summary.

By the way, the legislators would only get paid if no budget was sent to the Governor. They could send a complete disaster to the governor and they would be back on the dole.

Nice.
