Statements of SupportI'd like you to join me and many other elected
officials in supporting two challengers for the Ross Valley Sanitary District:
Thomas Gaffney, Municipal Finance Consultant and Rick Holland, Leadership
Development Consultant. The
numbers pertaining to the Consent Decree for this year are... three and a half
miles of pipes inspected... [12.5% below the MINIMUM required!] Agencies
have simply built that [fines] into the cost of doing business. They have
decided it's easier to pay the violations rather than go fix their
infrastructure. The
Marin Builders Association PAC unanimously endorsed Thomas Gaffney and Rick
Holland in the Ross Valley Sanitary District race... Holland has a history of
public service both locally and internationally. The SRSD Board has been
instrumental and very supportive of the regionalization efforts but feels that
this is not the appropriate time to move forward. We are concerned about the
financial viability of the Ross Valley Sanitary District (RVSD) and noted that
they have not addressed their financial responsibilities to fund both their debt
service to the Central Marin Sanitation Agency (CMSA) and their capital
improvement program. Challengers Tom Gaffney and Rick Holland disagree [with incumbents],
saying the current board has hurt its relationship with other sanitary districts
and placed the district on shaky financial ground. We would like to
see board members who reflect different strengths, each complementing the other,
who are committed to listening to each other and the community, and who strive
to find common ground, rather than blaming each other and emphasizing
differences ... We find Holland’s international background in ranching,
teaching, administration, and environmental work refreshing and think it may
provide a basis for creative thinking and a break with past battles. We
endorse ... Holland ... |
