Editor,

As a former San Mateo County supervisor, SamTrans board chair and local mayor, I know what it takes to lead in our county.

Mr. Tissier, your impression of Charles Stone is the exact opposite of how he has performed as a council member in Belmont, where he has been a force of extreme divisiveness who makes no effort to work with the 50% of residents who disagree with him. He usually ignores their input, or on the rare occasions when he does respond, it is usually in a condescending and dismissive manner. He doesn't have the temperament needed to serve effectively as an elected official, and should not be allowed to bring his brand of corrosive politics to a higher level.

Mr. Strinden - thanks for an example of Mr. Stone’s track record. All of these recent letters from the Stone fan club are starting to blur together. It’s as if they’re all following the same playbook, using the same nebulous buzzwords and phrases, yet there’s nothing in regards to Mr. Stone’s track record or fiscal stewardship. Keep on posting, Mr. Strinden. We need more comments about what people have done, not what they (or others say).

One has to admit that he has his supporters lined up by trickling LTEs. One, every and each day. Stone has certainly made a difference Belmont some of it good, but as Tim mentioned, he is an opportunist, arrogant and dismissive. The very prerequisites of a career politician. The kind that is now running DC.
