Guzzardi the right man for the job
February 17, 2006 7:45 AM
Wednesday night at the meeting of the Goleta Valley Visioning
Committee, a few new faces could be seen in the audience. All four
current candidates for the seat of 2nd District supervisor were
present. This is three more than showed up for any of the previous
meetings.In
other words, Joe Guzzardi is the only candidate that's been attending
these meetings. He's been continually having a dialogue with residents
that have been struggling to protect Noleta from overbuilding. In fact,
as a citizen, he has been extremely active in neighborhood preservation
and realistic planning for years. Not one of the other candidates can
truthfully say that. Not one.The rest are following Joe's lead
and playing catch-up. Whose lead will they follow if one of them gets
into office? They want the job, and are said to be gathering the moneys
necessary to put on a good campaign. Soon, 2nd District residents will
be barraged with phone calls, glossy brochures and lawn signs.
Candidates will be trying to reach you and sell themselves as your best
representative.But take a tip from inside the action. Joe is
already working for us. He's not financially beholden to special
interests, and everyone who meets him is impressed with his knowledge
and ideals for the future of the South Coast. Furthermore, he's been
working amongst the county government for 18 years.Clearly, Joe
Guzzardi is the most qualified candidate on all counts. Second District
citizens are lucky to have him on the ballot. Now it's up to us to
elect him into office. To learn more about Joe, readers can visit his
