5th SD Mailbox: Cassie DeEnvironmentalist Hits Bates For Not Being An Environmentalist

The Cassie DeYoung for Supervisor campaign attacked from its left flank again with this mailer that hit yesterday. It accuses opponent Pat Bates of having had the worst environmental record in the state legislature! Presumably that accusation is based on the legislative score cards of the Gaia-worshipping Enviornmental Left.

I take that to mean Pat compiled a strong record in support of property rights and economic growth and against job-killing legislation. Conservatives always receive an "F" from the leftist environmental groups like the Sierra Club and the League of Conservation Voters.

One day, Cassie DeYoung is touting her plan to improve transportation and fight traffic congestion, the next day she is touting her support from the very groups that fight transportation infrastructure projects. Shamlessness can be liberating.

Larry Agran's Irvine City Council slate is trumpting the same endorsements. Is there an Agranista-Cassie connection?

Great points about the environmental issues:

To put it in context, those who watched the Bates/DeYoung Debate, the listener, regardless of political affiliation, would see DeYoung as passionate, articulate and knowledgeable not only about the environment, but also about traffic congestion, pension levels etc.

Perhaps the piece posted here can be used by Bates, assuming she wins. She will also need prompts on just about any other issue – including how to fix her 3%50 mess! Apparently she can work well as a puppet for the unions, the real ventriloquists in this case.
