Martin Wisckol mentioned in his Buzz column this week that some folks are considering Jim Silva to be the conservative candidate for the assembly seat that is being vacated by Tom Harman. Really? Didn’t Silva vote for the Orange County PLA (Project Labor Agreement) – the ill-fated measure that banned non-union contractors from bidding on O.C. construction projects? For that vote alone Silva deserves to be abandoned by the GOP voters in his district.
Apparently a Cypress Councilman, Mike McGill, is also running as a GOP candidate. You can find out more about him online at http://www.mike4assembly.com/home.asp. I don’t know him, but he has been endorsed by Jim Lacy, Bill Dalton, Alan Mansoor, Bill MacAloney, and Mike Ward, amongst others. Plus McGill is not Jim Silva. That is good enough for me. Please, if you live in this Assembly District, do not reward Silva with your vote. Vote for McGill and know that you are voting against a guy who once found PLA’s to be sound public policy.

Turns out McGill voted to have a church condemned and a Costco built in its place. Speaking of Costco…I don’t think they’ve given a cent to the GOP. (Find it here ://www.opensecrets.org/softmoney/softcomp1.asp?txtName=costco) This is just the Costco Corporation itself, the Board Members gave significantly more.
Perhaps Mr. Pedroza shouldn’t be so one sided. Jim saved this county more money than he’ll ever realize.
I have heard conflicting reports re the McGill Costco vote. I wonder what McGill has to say about this? From what I have heard, he was not a prime mover in that vote.
As for Silva, not only did he vote for the PLA, he also voted for the disastrous pension increase for the county union employees. Thanks Silva – too bad you’ll be off the board before the next county BK…
Okay, sorry…two votes out of thousands. Look at Jim’s record??? You can’t be more conservative than that!
As for the BK, with even a housing bust, property taxes will continue to fund the county. Plus, Supervisor Silva shaved years off the 93/94 BK by refinancing.
I am not very forgiving about Republicans who kiss ass to the unions. Those two votes were very important. I will do what I can to keep Silva from ever getting in the position to make such votes again in the future. You cannot run from your record…
