That is why there is a law in Burlingame against rent control !!
That is why they exaggerated and lied to defeat the Rent Stabilization measure put on the recent ballot by many signatures of many renters.
And why the measure lost 2 to 1 !!
Most of the residents and most of the registered voters in Burlingame are renters/leases and not owners.
So this behavior by our elected city government was not "for the good of Burlingame" as so many candidates stated, but first and foremost for the Real Estate Industry !!
There should be a law against such double-dealing and misrepresentation.
Don't you poor honest people agree?
You know what the Bible says about " trying to serve two Masters", right?
This is a massive decades long Scandal !!
Thus it is not surprising that the Sacramento state Capitol also passed a law against more rent control with so many state resentatives on the take ," campaign contributions".
So how can they work for us if they are bought so cheaply "$10-20k" per vote by rich special interests ?
Even the 4 term Governor,Jerry Brown, has recently come under media attention and derision for dirty Oil Industry dealing$ for himself and his sister.
Will we be able to find an honest and hard working Governor candidate to replace him, after so many terrible (grey Davis) and dishonest, and cruel (Ronald Reagan)
2 master Governor's going back decades?
I thought we had an anti-corruption law in California, a "sunshine law".
So how do we clean up California politics at every level, if the electorate is ignorant and lied to constantly and the media fails often to do its job of reporting, like the total annual rainfall and the Oct. 1st "rain year" totals for all regions of this sorry state that are currently someone's big secrets?
California is what, the "6th largest economy in the World" yet Our State is riddled with corruption !!
And not just the Mafia getting away in Silicon Valley etc. with selling hard drugs to our children and well paid workers. Why do you think Caltrans is constantly giving rich contracts to incompetent companies ,like the Highway 87 elevated roadway failure, last winter repaving of highway 101 sf-sj failure by just rain, and especially "over $6 billion misspent on the new Oakland Bay Bridge", that the Governor left the state for on Opening Day !?
Our state politicians are too busy getting personally Rich to be bothered doing their Oath, elected jobs for such Fools as us.
When that malfeasance and corruption are in the Murders and Assassinations by our police and sheriff's, the Grand Jury system, and every level of the Courts from Small Claims all the way up, isn't it time to wake up, do the hard work, and say "Enough!"?
When will the dirty dishonesty tide turn for California ?
