Joyce Overton, a member of Clearlake”s City Council, nominated Judy Thein as our mayor for 2010. Judy Thein has consistently turned her back on what the citizens of Clearlake have clearly wanted as a direction for their city to go in. She has voted, on most occasions, according to the city manager”s recommendation, disregarding public outcry. Not only has she forgotten her campaign promises, but is very motivated toward her own agendas.
Obviously Joyce Overton, who prides herself in listening to public opinion, has not only forgotten her campaign promises, but has shown her true colors in nominating Judy as our next mayor and subjecting us to more of the same.
This nomination quickly followed with Judy Thein then nominating Joyce Overton as vice-mayor. This may seem quite coincidental to some, but to those of us who know the bad blood between the two and attend council meetings regularly this seems quite scripted and politically motivated.
Joyce, who is currently running for supervisor, obviously does not have the city of Clearlake”s best interests in mind. Why would anyone think that she would have the county”s best interests in mind as our supervisor? Let”s vote out the ones who continue to keep our city not only looking like a Third-World community, but also that keep the good old boys club alive and well and continuing on into 2010.
Bill Shields,
Clearlake
