Norco Citizens' Election Panel Chair Resigns
Peg Ferraro, chair of the citizens' elections task force, has resigned. Now that she is an active candidate for county council, she has stepped down to keep the keep politics out of the elections panel. Although this committee is purely advisory, its work will have no credibility unless its membership avoids becoming participants in this year's elections.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Peg made the right choice.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great choice. Peg needs to be commended.
ReplyDeleteIt was a classy move by a classy lady. I've been highly critical of many of Peg's votes when she sat on council. Peg can tell you that herself. But she has integrity. She and her husband were very close to my mom and dad, even though they have different politics. When my mom was suffering, Peg was there for her. I realize that's no reason to vote for her. But people should know that, whatever her politics, Peg is a decent human being and is good to her friends. She's no phony. She's genuinely a nice person.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteNorthampton County is fortunate to have a public servant of this caliber.
