Cupertino City Council Race 2009 heats up
It has been a while since I have written an article here on the Cupertino Daily, but the upcoming race for Cupertino City Council has rekindled excitement in our city. No, I’m not going to run again for Cupertino City Council. Having run twice, I have grown weary, tired, and perplexed with local politics in Cupertino. I invite each candidate to post their thoughts on the Cupertino Daily to reach readers and voters in our city in an objective and non-salesmanship like tone. I also invite local Cupertino residents, groups, and supporters to send to me their thoughts and contribute position papers/articles on why they support their candidates and what issues they believe are the most pressing for our wonderful and diverse city. I will attempt to post these articles on the Cupertino Daily with minimal edit to provide the best clarity of the author’s voice.

My ideal Cupertino politician

While November seems a century away, with the presidential election still on our horizons, the buzz around Cupertino about who will run for city council in the next cycle is already in the air. And, a good policy for wannabe councilmembers is–there are no secrets in a small city like ours.

Kudo’s To The Cupertino City Council
At the 11/3/2008 City Council meeting, a mid-term budget adjustment was
proposed to raise the salary of a member of our top city staff by more
than $12,000. per year. I was pleased to see that interested Cupertino
residents turned out to question what seemed like a huge raise for just
one person who works for our city. It’s [...]

Aug. 19 - city council topics of interest if you miss water in cupertino, be there, speak up, email — it’s time to voice your opinion
The City Council meeting tomorrow, Aug. 19 promises to be yet another time buster with items of interest
to many residents placed on the tail end of the agenda. It does make one ponder
the meaning of this seemingly typical late night/early morning placement.
Weighing in on whether or not to repair or replace the fountain outside the [...]

Was the aug. 5th-a city council meeting or the gunfight at the o.k. Corral???
While most of the City Council meeting of Sept. 5, 2008 was nothing out of the ordinary, loooong and

our city council members have so much stamina, and are intelligent enough to
push through to the end. This meeting included the continuation of
the proposed hotel [...]

Proposed new hotel at oaks on aug. 5 council agenda
As folks who visit The Oaks Shopping Center at Steven’s Creek at the 85 know, this is a busy
jam-packed with cars very popular place. Although some seem to feel its outdated and no longer viable, I for one protest the notion. Just because a shopping center is still standing, still busy and still attracts crowds [...]
