Editor,
San Mateo's city and county officials, mostly Democrats, seem to have taken a page from their Republican counterparts. Come up with an unverifiable "threat" and use it as an excuse to do whatever they want.
Editor,
San Mateo's city and county officials, mostly Democrats, seem to have taken a page from their Republican counterparts. Come up with an unverifiable "threat" and use it as an excuse to do whatever they want.
George W. Bush had his Weapons of Mass Destruction as an excuse to invade Iraq and our local officials have their Casinos of Mass Destruction as an excuse to raze Bay Meadows, tearing down and tearing out the heart of this city.
There certainly are real threats to our city, but they are not the bogeymen of mysterious casinos, or unnamed, nebulous Indian tribes swooping down to wreak havoc on hapless San Mateans.
The real threats to our city are quite tangible. They are our elected and appointed officials who put their political careers ahead of this city's good. They are the many special interests who neither live in nor love our town and who would sacrifice it for profit.
