THE HERNANDEZES COME BEARING GIFTS, ACQUIRE BEGUM'S PETITION

We don't know how much he has garnered, but whatever the amount may be we're sure there will be enough toys for photo opportunities for himself and for Erin in her run against her opponents to the JP position left vacant when Tony Torres passed away and Kip Van Hodge was appointed by the commissioners on the condition he did not run this year.<br />The Hernandezes (even though Erin goes by the name Garcia to confuse the uninitiated) have let everyone know they are leaving nothing to chance in Erin's race when they demanded (and received) the petitions and signatures of 700 registered voters in her bid for the same position Erin is seeking.<br />Now, the 700 signatures were some 200 more than were required by the Democratic party, but leaving nothing to chance, Begum went ahead and paid the $1,300 fee rather than have the signatures challenged by the Hernandez camp.<br />Begum, a first-time candidate in politics, asked several of her friends whether other candidates were entitled to have access to the names (and addresses and voter ID numbers) of her supporters. It kind of reminds us of the quote by U.S. statesman Henry L. Stimson when the operatives of the CIA's precursor wanted to intercept the mail of other nations' ambassadors and he replied that "Gentlemen don't read each others mail."<br />Well, those days are gone forever. Nowadays one can't even speak on the phone or send an email or get around Jim Barton or Jerry McHale without it getting out on the blogosphere.<br />What the Hernandez camp will do with the signatures is anybody's guess, but we've heard that they have already approached several people in Cameron Park who have stated their support for Begum trying to convince them to switch to Erin. How successful they will be is yet to be seen.<br />Getting back to the Hernandez love fest at the Centro, many colonia residents resent the fact that Hernandez and the center's director can prohibit the use of the community building for political functions of the people, but see no contradiction in the obvious perversion of their policy when it comes to pushing the candidacy of the commissioner's progeny.<br />Beware of politicians bearing gifts.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-1642513019218122523?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
