'Blatant fraud' exposed

Ford Greene has exposed the blatant fraud of Supervisor Hal Brown's farce of an "election" for the Ross Valley flood district. The election did not use a real ballot; it was an end-around attempt to sneak a tax in by calling it a fee. The process of signing the ballot in order to validate the ballot left much to be desired. The wishes of the voters were denied, as Greene showed.

No matter how Brown objects and spins, the special election that wasn't really an election was crammed down the throat of the voters. It is very suspicious in its methodology and results. Brown's comment that "anyone can sue for anything" attempts two trivialize a serious subject, and calls into question his integrity and oath of office to represent the voters.

Brown and the Board of Supervisors can do the right thing - throw out the results and hold an election that is fair, legal and transparent, with the public allowed to participate in the process.

Or they can continue the arrogance of claiming that the election was somehow fair and valid. If that is the case, I would suggest that the Board of Supervisors, and particularly Brown, should be held responsible for their part in this fiasco, including the possibility of a recall.

Greene would be a much more effective representative for the Ross Valley on the Board of Supervisors.
