Labor Liveblog: Endorsement

Labor Liveblog: Endorsement

Greetings from the City Fed of Labor meeting where we're talking candidate endorsements.

Board of Supervisors first: Pat Hughes reports on surveys. 26 questions, here's the scores:

Mike Lehman 23

Larry Meyers 26

John Schneider 18 (borderline for consideration) "A bit of a libertarian bent. He's just against regulation."

Sally Stutsman 21

Motion to endorse Larry Meyers only. That passes after a few minutes discussion. The horse race discussion says Stutsman's in and it's a contest between Meyers and Lehman for the second slot. Some grumbling about not making a second endorsement but no one makes another motion.

On to county attorney.

Janet Lyness 25 of 26, Maybanks 23. Some discussion of whether the questions on binding arbitration were clear; are binding arbitration and right to strike mutually exclusive?

Discussing candidate priorities and I can't type that fast.

Motion to endorse Lyness. Discussion of no endorsement. Discussion of Maybanks endorsement.

Lyness endorsement fails. Maybanks endorsement fails. Motion for no endorsement passes.
