Other facts

Pacifica has been my home for 30 years. Since you put your trust in me four years ago, I've worked tirelessly for a better Pacifica.

As Mayor and member of our City Council, I have stopped deficit spending and balanced the city budget, fought hard for Pacifica’s share of County resources, established the Economic Development Committee, improved customer service in our Planning department, reached out to Pacifica businesses with "Mayor's Walks,” protected our environment, created the Beautification Task Force, and led a community-wide effort that garnered national recognition for Pacifica as one of the six most beautiful towns in the U.S.

Together we can create a city that is fiscally sustainable and works for all our citizens; engage more residents in their city government; improve our streets and city services; promote our beauty to visitors; and enhance economic development. If you re-elect me, I will redouble my efforts to achieve the very best for Pacifica.

Our unique and beautiful city is turning a corner.  I ask for your vote so I can continue to Put Pacifica First!

I would like to add that I am endorsed by: Jackie Speier, U.S. Congresswoman, 12th District Jerry Hill, California State Assembly Kevin Mullin, Candidate for State Assembly Gene Mullin, Former State Assembly member Carole Groom, San Mateo County Supervisor Don Horsley, San Mateo County Supervisor David Pine, San Mateo County Supervisor Adrienne Tissier, San Mateo County Supervisor Shelly Masur, Candidate for SMC Supervisor Joan Weideman, Pacific School District Governing Board Cynthia Kaufman, Pacifica School District Governing Board Eileen Manning-Villar, Pacifica School District Governing Board Kalimah Salahuddin, Jefferson Union High School District.

I can start with the comments on the Theravance drug, fluticasone fluroate - the active moiety inRead More this compound is the same, fluticasone (proprionate) that has been marketed by GSK for the same indication for approximately 25 years. Indeed, that patent is so old, and the drug has such a proven track record for safety and efficacy, that the patent has expired and there are generic versions available. There is also in implicit assumption by the author that the only reason that the FDA will approve medications in a short time span is because they are for 'life-or-limb' or unmet serious medical need. This is just not the case - regulators in many countries, including the FDA in the USA, may give accelerated approval to a product, where the safety and tolerability of a product is equivalent to a similar active agent which has already been approved. I suspect this is the case for fluticasone fluroate - but I am not privy to the details of the regulatory filing. I note that none of the companies mentioned here, nor the FDA, has provided input to this article. The journalism in this article smacks of someone trying to make a name for themselves quickly by scaring uneducated and/or anxious people. The science is just plain flawed.

Please tell us in what ways it is ill-informed

Ill-informed, sensationalist rubbish.

Each column gets better. I look for "The Shoe."

I think many of us can relate! 10 kids, huh? I was the oldest of 9, so sort of understand. MyRead More family grew up in Pacifica, & we rode over the slide every weekend when we went to the HMB airport to tend to my father's airplanes. I drove on it once, during driver's ed in high school, scary! I have an old home movie clip from 1966, going over the slide. Very overexposed, but you can still see parts of the slide in it. More recently, took 2 videos of our drive over the slide, North & south views. Going North: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb8NKnu9Gvw Going South: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rlN_g2LeE8
