Information about his bullying of a fellow school board colleague. The issue of his personal assistant that harassed citizens exercising their constitutional rights. It makes you wonder if Gary might be a better choice. Kinda like Trump an Biden choosing the best of the worst. Sad because Elk Grove deserves better don’t you think?Randy Bekkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13216742650028140383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693256921060044086.post-31757262353771853672020-07-06T15:11:06.608-07:002020-07-06T15:11:06.608-07:00I'm with Atticus.

After a few years, his true nature reared its ugly head and exposed him for being what he always was, a pawn that could be bought off by the smallest of bidders. He didn't care about our city; he cared about promoting himself and the benefits that he could take advantage of as mayor. <br /><br />He stepped away voluntarily years ago. The city is better off without him. He misses the spotlight, but we are all better off without him selling his endorsement to any bidder as an elected official of our city.<br /><br />Elk Grove can do better than re-incarnating this slug as our mayor.Steve Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258093636767338830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693256921060044086.post-88162995455383211432020-07-06T13:31:21.790-07:002020-07-06T13:31:21.790-07:00What has Davis ever done to help improve the quali...What has Davis ever done to help improve the quality of life for this city?

Most species, the larger ones in particular, also have a prehensile tail. Chameleons' eyes are independently mobile, but in aiming at a prey item, they focus forward in coordination, affording the animal stereoscopic vision.<br /><br />Chameleons are adapted for climbing and visual hunting. They live in warm habitats that range from rain forest to desert conditions, with various species occurring in Africa, Madagascar, southern Europe, and across southern Asia as far as Sri Lanka. They also have been introduced to Hawaii, California, and Florida, and often are kept as household pets.<br /><br />-wikipedia-D.J.

To say Mr. Davis has been a disappointment as an elected official is an understatement. <br /><br />As for an alliance between Mr. Davis and Mr.’s Spease and Suen, given his proclivity to support sure bets, it would not be surprising as Eye on Elk Grove pointed out in their above comment, to see him recruit his own candidates. Like Mr. Trump, who doesn’t like losers like the late Senator John McCain, Davis doesn’t want to be associated with “losers” like Mr. Suen and Mr. Spease, both respectable men, but had the misfortune of being soundly defeated by Mr. Ly.<br /><br />Perhaps Mr. Davis could recruit a District 1 candidate like Ms. Bobbie Singh-Allen, who has voraciously criticized Mr. Ly in recent days following his recent foul-up related to Black Lives Matter. Both Mr. Davis and Ms. Singh-Allen are, if nothing else, opportunistic political creatures who will jump on the current bandwagon, and, alternatively, will sniff out weaknesses like a jackal stalking prey. <br /><br />Ms. Singh-Allen could offer a gender balance to his slate, and that would be significant as best as I can recall, Mr. Davis has never supported female challenger candidates. It’s all about winning at any cost for Mr. Davis, and these two men are undoubtedly losing bets in his assessment. <br />Capt.

That is, until the last minute Detrick mailer with Davis' "fake smile" stating,<b><i> "I trust Steve Detrick."</i></b><br /><br />(What does that tell you when a politician has to Photoshop his/her own smile with someone else's teeth?") The 1,000 word analogy. . . .take a look:<br /><br />https://www.google.com/search?q=gary+davis+elk+grove&sxsrf=ALeKk02Q4FHHZSXuzsny9NvkO5knEyuuWg:1593974153394&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjcvMa54LbqAhU-JjQIHZcmAMwQ_AUoAnoECAsQBA&biw=1536&bih=706#imgrc=fAoGnttpYmvClM<br /><br />Heed Gary Davis history Kevin Spease and Darren Suen if you’ve been approached and are considering a possible slate. If Davis had any chance of beating Steve Ly by dumping the two of you at the last minute, he would do it in a heartbeat and never look back!<br /><br />Also, if Davis can subvert any contributions coming your way into his own campaign account, you can bet he will!<br /><br />And while we are at it, what will Elk Grove City Council members Pat Hume and Stephanie Nguyen do here? Hume has never been a “Davis buddy buddy” (see me picking my fingernails when Davis is talking). The small world continues in that Heather Davis ran against Nguyen for Sacramento County Board of Education and it wasn’t pretty when Gary Davis went after Nguyen. <br /><br />However, unlike EGN supporters, most of whom have long institutional memories, and will counter any city council revisionism. But what about Hume's and Nguyen's memories when it comes to Gary Davis? We have, indeed, come to learn with this bunch on the Elk Grove City Council, they can’t even remember yesterday. Maybe it is the Scotch!<br /><br />Referencing: <i>“Mr. Mom.”</i><br />(Michael Keaton) "Wanna beer?"<br />(Martin Mull) "It's 7 o'clock in the morning."<br />(Michael Keaton) "Scotch?"Eye on Elk Grovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912443616239693675noreply@blogger.com
