A few days ago County Supervisor Chris Norby sent out a solicitation for contributions to his County Clerk campaign. Nothing unusual there. But apparently some of them were sent to County employees at their work e-mail addresses. County employees are forbidden to use their computers for this type of activity so even if the e-mails were sent from a private computer (they were) it raises problems for the recipients thereof.
Others have raised the seemliness and propriety of a supervisor asking for money of employees during a time of layoffs. The issue of coercion seems to be the focus.
Chris is getting roasted alive by just about everyone under the sun for this transgression, including apparently the good folks at KFI. The upshot of all of this remains to be seen, but so far the fallout hasn’t been too good for Norby.
Anyhoo, we got a hold of a copy of the offending e-mail. Here it is: Read more.
We spotted Norby at the West County Chambers of Commerce Legislative Reception last night. Stanton’s not his District, so no one seemed to know who he was, and he didn’t seem very welcome. He didn’t speak (as did Moorlach, Royce and Silva) as he wasn’t invited. He’d already left. Loser!
I went to his web site, viewed his tape. Felt it gave no specifics – which is the hallmark of so many political campaigns. The question remains – what exactly will you do if you get this job, what are your plans? All I really heard was he would carry on what he views as the good work of Tom Daly. If we wanted that, there would be a groudswell of public sentiment to keep Daly in tht job. This job is very imporant to Title Companies and Real Estate Brokers who seek fast recording of deed and loan documents so escrows can close, especially when they approach the end of their accounting year. Whomever these “special interests” back in the campaign will probably take in the most money and win.
Are you’re “good friends at KFI” the same ones that regualary have Chuck Devore on as a mouthpiece?
Or maybe they’re the ones that repeatedly host Mike Schroeder, whom they bashed weeks earlier.
I am certain it’s not the gay dude (still in the closet), and his friend the millionare who proclaims to be a “man of the people” but is really flying around the world (First Class, when I saw them this summer) to visit the Galapogos islands.
I’m sure the anti-imigration spewing hypocrites are’nt your friends, So now I have to ask, What does Dr. Laura care about Chris Norby.
CHOOSE YOU’RE FRIENDS CAREFULLY JUICE.
Gee, maybe “the good folks” at KFI was sarcasm.
