Editor,

Warren Lieberman is selling us out by putting his own interests and political grudges ahead of Belmont citizens in three separate ways:

If he's so great at "financial stability", why is he implicated in a cover up of a $1.8M sexual harassment scandal? https://padailypost.com/2022/09/19/candidate-sat-on-board-that-kept-1-8-million-sexual-harassment-case-secret-from-the-public/

Let's ask him, I don't have the answer. A single activity for which we do not have the underlying reason should not disqualify him. There were other members of that board that seemed in favor of that settlement.

A lot of misrepresentations here. The fact Warren Lieberman reaches across the table to the best candidate, not party lines, shows he's a man of character and cares more about Belmont than political lines. You make it seem like he's a bad guy because of him being recused because of where he lives. As Mayor he will be able to help the other city council people negotiate. In his 17 years he has done more for the city and worked more positions than the entire city council let alone Mates. Mates seems to have more of an agenda she follows than listening to the people like Warren Lieberman does. Warren Lieberman is the best candidate for Mayor of Belmont.

ghhubbbell - the city council does not negotiate anyway. They act on recommendation from staff headed by the City Manager. I agree, Lieberman has many more qualifications than nice-lady Mates. I don't deny that Mates is a fresh voice and has made the council meetings more interesting but that is not enough of a reason to vote for her.

Lieberman won't even be able to do that, as he must recuse himself. Watch this video from a couple weeks ago, when a presentation on the NDNU topic was presented to Mayor Julia Mates and the Belmont City Council, and Lieberman had to recuse himself from even participating in the presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6eAkoW_QN8

According to you there are two polarizing issues in Belmont. The future of NDU and the Waterdog trails. I for one, see many other more important matters such as pavement, financial stability, safety, housing density, drug dealing including marihuana, park and street maintenance. These are issues that we deal with daily and Lieberman has addressed all of them consistently. That is why he has my vote. Mates can try again in two years.
