BOS 3 Mailbox: A Blast To The Past For Hansberger

Posted by: SB Veritas | 04/30/2008 2:25 PM

In politics, people have said your past can haunt you.

In the case of Third District Supervisor Dennis Hansberger it sure can. In this instance the heat has commenced via the mailbox.

With only 33 days until Election Day, Hansberger challenger, San Bernardino City Councilman Neil Derry has hit the mailbox today for the third time in less than three weeks. The new campaign piece is a high quality candidate compare and contrast mailer that pressures the incumbent supervisor on publicized lapses during Hansberger's current term, a current county scandal, and credit card abuses.

The overall theme of the mailer and Derry's campaign appears to be "It's time for a change". With a major component being that of hammer away at Hansberger's incumbency and record.

One significant issue highlighted is a $6,000 FPPC fine levied against the five-term supervisor for a disqualification violation of the Political Reform Act. As the complaint reads, Hansberger while acting as a member of the San Bernardino International Airport Authority, improperly voted for a contributors contract within a timeframe prohibited by law. The supervisor should have disqualified himself from the vote.

Author's Note: Please keep in mind that California State Senator Carol Migden (D-San Francisco) makes this fine look like chump change.

I'm sure the grenade launchers on both sides are loaded for this monumental fight.
