November 7th is less than four months away and candidates for City Council can "pull papers" on Monday, so the electoral dance has begun. The Voice will be watching closely as always starting with our note here that all three incumbents intend to run for reelection. Mssrs. Brownrigg and Ortiz and Ms. Keighran present a formidable front to any challengers, but who knows who might step forward to take on the status quo?
Get ready for more of this
Update/Addition: Yesterday's Post added the fact that the 3 year terms for B'game School District board members Kay Coskey and Davina Drabkin are also up in November. No word on whether either or both will be seeking reelection.
Can't we just give all this Political BS a rest...
3-4 years should be a minimum.
STOP IT.
I wonder if there is some regulation that could be put in place to stop the signage here in "Our Fair City-Burlingame?"
The only people who may be against a proposal-as such, in my opinion would be the candidates that have no business representing anyone who lives in Burlingame.
In those cases, City of Burlingame Candidates are only in running to further their personal business interests.

UMMM, "the candidates that have no business representing anyone who lives in Burlingame" Those would be the winning ones or the losing ones, oh confused One?

Whatever and Whoever runs and wins; we plead with you to adopt a clear set of City Values and a Mission Statement we can all understand. See examples:

Out with the old, in with the new and vibrant. Keighran is just a place marker and is like the members of old, who she wanted so badly to replace. Now it's her turn.

Be careful of what you wish for! In the past four years, we've had 3 new faces (non incumbents) and color Bruce Dickinson not impressed.

Wishing for change. Big change.
