Last night in my mailbox I found a flyer from four years ago.  You can see it here.

Does anyone else find it interesting that Bill and Leslie Marcus sent out a release four years ago slamming Kevin Spesert and Art Pimentel for taking campaign contributions from "DEVELOPERS OF THE 'GATEWAY' BIG BOX RETAIL PROJECT"?

The rationale was that Pimentel has been evasive on the question of Gateway and that he would not vote against his biggest contributors. 

The flyer, as you can see, then goes on to say that Woodland should vote for Dote, Flory, and Monroe to stop the development.

This is funny for several reasons --

1) Monroe was the one to flip and support Gateway right after the election four years ago
2) Monroe accepted a $999 check from Paul Petrovich this election cycle
3) Monroe accepted a $500 check from PG&E this election cycle (Bill and Leslie are both advocates of pubic power in Yolo County)

So you might say -- Leslie clearly wouldn't like this if she knew Jeff was accepting these contributions.  Well actually, she is his campaign treasurer. 

Take a look at the bottom of his campaign website. You can see her name prominently listed right there.

Funny how four years ago I opposed Art being on the City Council. Now I support him. 

Even more funny is that all of the reasons that Bill and Leslie used to support Monroe vanished right after the election. In fact, the reasons they used to oppose Art and Kevin now apply to Jeff Monroe.  Oh well.

Politics makes strange....
