Mark Simon’s Dec. 15 column won’t be the final say in San Mateo City Council drama. The letter writers to the DJ who showed off their collective ignorance regarding the city charter should have read it first and not relied on Amourence Lee’s allies’ statements about what it says. It states “when, not who or how” and, as Simon stated, it wouldn’t have been the first time a mayor was not chosen just because they think they’re next in line. Millbrae just pulled off this coup Tuesday as did San Mateo in the 1990s. And the others, Amourence Lee included, who acted as if Armageddon would happen if a mayor wasn’t chosen on the date it “should” happen. What nonsense is Lee’s own actions and words about “what a dark day for San Mateo” when she received pushback from councilmembers Diaz Nash and Newsom to hold off voting her mayor as if she was entitled to it. “Dark day?” Seriously?
I sincerely hope Commissioner Robbins follows up on his defamation claim at Lee regarding her highly questionable tactics of using unsubstantiated evidence to sabotage his possible appointment as a councilmember. She defamed Rod Linhares in his election bid because he wasn’t aligning with her and it seems she’s done the same with Commissioner Robbins. With a likely recall election of her based on her unprofessionalism and questionable character, along with a DA investigation into her egregious allegations, if Lee is trying to make a name for herself in San Mateo politics she may do it for all the wrong reasons.
