San Anselmo Pol McInerney Refuses to Address his Dark Side
Local Public Issues, posted by Herman Mehling, a resident of the San Anselmo neighborhood, on Nov 1, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Tom McInerney is a busy guy – way way too busy to respond to an item I posted more than THREE WEEKS AGO (Web Link) that questioned his credibility as a self-described ‘progressive’ candidate.
Why has McInerney been too busy to address his credibility issue? One reason is obvious: he has been working hard raising more than $28,000 for his campaign, and spending more than $20,000 on four or five direct mail pieces, political signs, and almost daily banner ads on this website. (Pacific Sun editor: how much has McInerney spent advertising on this site?)
If McInerney wins 2000 votes (enough to get elected, he will have spent $10 PER VOTE to do a part-time gig that pays $299 per month. Yes, folks, that equates to a dizzying $3588 per year -- ridiculous chump change for a guy who makes more than that in a few hours advising America’s corporate elite.
McInerney’s campaign math makes no sense unless McInerney is focused on a much bigger prize that a spot on the San Anselmo Council -– Marin County supervisor, state representative, state senator, or the next President of these corporate-controlled American states.

Posted by johnnymarin, a resident of the San Rafael neighborhood, on Nov 3, 2009 at 4:33 pm So he has a dark side,right? Is it the fact that he raises money for his campaign, or that he spends it wisely here in Marin, or is it because he has ambition, or maybe because he has the nerve to run for office in this crazy zoo of a county. Why not ask the man to pay back all of those ill gotten donations to his coffers to whatever green cause the writer feels is fair punishment for being so evil. No wonder Americans hate to run for office.
