Dear Paul Burton,
My name is Michael G. Stogner I am currently running for District 3 Supervisor of San Mateo County in the next June election. So there is a possibility I will be one of the five Supervisors next year. I just read your article which goes to your members titled ” Carole Groom Appointed to County Board of Supervisors. In it you report accurately
“San Mateo Union High School District Board member Dave Pine spoke in favor of holding an election rather than an appointment. “Let the people of the County decide who will be their representative,” he urged the Board. Pine said that both the Democratic and Republican Parties and about 25 elected officials had called for a Special Election. Pine said he felt that an election would allow for public debate on issues and would be more democratic.”
Your article fails to mention that I was one of the 11 applicants. No big deal except I was the only applicant who asked the remaining 4 Supervisors not to appoint any of us. I recommended a Special Election to let the Voters of San Mateo County fill this very important position. I stated that Jerry Hill knew he was going to run for the Assembly at the same time he ran for Supervisor he knew if he won that he would leave this seat vacant, I moved from San Carlos to Belmont so that I would be able to be considered as an applicant for that seat.
Can you please tell me why my name is not mentioned in the article which goes to all of your members.
I look forward to your response,
Michael G. Stogner

Consultants' plan for Hwy 1 lacks awareness of our environment and community, Mar 11 2:24pm, Kevin Barron — An overpass will NEVER happen here. It reeks of growth, development, and an iota of suburbanization. Many here want to hold tight to no-growth-weed-ridden-squalor. Allow no infrastructure improvements, so any attempts at “progress” is denied for ...

Pacifica examines widening part of Hwy 1 to six lanes, Mar 10 6:55pm, Barbara Kossy — I wonder how much of the traffic is due to parents taking kids to school, and picking them up from school. I notice when school is out, it’s a faster drive through Pacifica. Maybe it would be more effective to re-instate the use of school ...
