Supervisor Bruce Kranz tells us he supports Doug Ose because Ose is good for Placer County's District 5.  District 5 extends from north Auburn to Lake Tahoe and is in fact the district Kranz represents.

In order to understand what Doug Ose has done to District 5, you must understand how much Ose loves the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).  The NEA (read taxpayers) funds "art" that cannot find funding elsewhere.  The crucifix in a jar of urine was their best-known "art" exhibit along with what was called "homo-erotic art".  Honestly I am too embarrassed to describe that "art", but I am sure you can imagine.

With my quick research I found that left-of-center Ose voted at least three times not to make minuscule cuts and not fund this "art"-- HR 2466, July 14, 1999, roll call vote 287; in 2000 with HR 45, roll call vote 282; in 2001 with HR 2217, roll call vote 184.

How this relates to District 5 is found with HR 5093, 7/17/02, roll call vote 314.

Tom Tancredo's amendment would have transferred $ 50 million from the NEA to the US Forest Service, and Ose voted against this. 

Remember much of District 5 is US National Forest including the Tahoe Basin.  What is the purpose of the US Forest Service?  They manage the forest.... and prevent forest fires.  Think Smokey the Bear.

So for left-of-center Ose, and apparently Bruce Kranz, a NEA funded (read Placer taxpayer funded) crucifix in urine is more important than forest (and fire) management in the Tahoe Basin.  I guess this is called priorities.
