Editor,
This is an answer to Rick Bonilla’s letter to the editor in the Daily Journal Nov. 21.
Mr. Bonilla is a committee member of "San Mateo Together,” which is for tearing down Bay Meadows and putting up a massive housing and business project.
Mr. Bonilla should get his facts straight. I was at the Safeway store on Tuesday, Nov. 15 when the "goons,” as the newspaper headline called them, did their abusive actions and the police were called.
Two days this week, Tuesday, Nov. 28 and Wednesday Nov. 29, near the post office on 25th Avenue, where I was collecting signatures, two of the "goons” arrived and positioned themselves on either side of me. Whenever I attempted to talk to a San Mateo voter about signing the referendum, one of them would interrupt my conversation trying to dissuade the person from signing. I decided to move my position to a different location on 25th and I was followed by the same "goons.” This occurred three times.
I think all of the voters of San Mateo should have the right to decide on the future of San Mateo. That’s the way democracy should work.
