Meeting with Max Cherney

The Examiner recently started covering issues on the Peninsula and is working with a young talented reporter named Max A. Cherney. Max heard about the controversy on the San Carlos Transit Village project and showed up in San Carlos to do a series of interviews on my citizen democracy approach advocating a referendum.

To all of you guys chomping at the bit to get started on the referendum, we are working on a series of projects related to it including social media, volunteers for a list of petition circulators, and developing a schedule to be implemented if anything close to the current project is approved in September. Developers seriously dislike letting the people vote on development projects, so we expect more efforts to stop the referendum, but we plan on standing strong and giving San Carlans a chance to decide for themselves on the largest housing project in the history of San Carlos, 14 football fields worth of buildings right down the middle of town on the tiny space between the train with 8 new driveways pouring cars and heavy trucks onto the El Camino.
