Hi,
I am a senior citizen and Petaluma has been my home for the past 35 years.  I love Petaluma.  It is a wonderful City with plenty of history and wonderful people.  Like everything else or anywhere else, politics is not perfect in Petaluma.  Sometimes a group of people can govern a city and if no one pays attention, bad regulations can become laws.

It happened in Petaluma in 2004 when a group of people with too much influence with City Council drafted an ordinance that Council passed unanimously.  The result has been high cost to the City and citizens of Petaluma and the death of hundreds innocent  animals.   You can find out more here: Petaluma Feral Cats

For that reason I pay much more attention to the candidates running for elections.  I want to know who they are.  I want to know their agenda and I want to know if they are capable of making decisions for us or will they back the chosen few? 
  
About Karen Nau:

I don't care how many generations Karen Nau's family has been in Petaluma.  In
my opinion Karen Nau is not a good candidate for Petaluma City Council.  Karen Nau does not respond to her constituents and I say this from experience.  It is all about Karen's concern. 

I think the majority of Petaluman will agree that Karen Nau's agenda is Karen Nau and her entourage. 

In addition I always said that a person who has no respect for a cat or a dog (or any animal) should not have the power to make laws for a government entity because it shows insensitivity.  To Karen Nau, animals are commodities.  Period.  She showed no concern for the hundreds of animals killed in Petaluma since council passed the inhumane feral cat ordinance in 2004.  

It is definitely a "NO" vote for Karen Nau.

Vote for Burton

EDITOR: People don’t realize how Petaluma’s layoffs and service cuts will affect them and why it is so important to elect City Council candidates who are fiscally responsible.

Karen Nau and Samantha Freitas with the rest of the current City Council established goals and priorities for 2008. A top priority was to ensure the fiscal strength of the city by planning for the impact of the state fiscal crisis. In February, the council was given an update on revenues and expenditures of the city. They were told “expenditures will have to be monitored very carefully over the balance of the fiscal year to not exceed budget,” overtime must be watched closely to remain within budget, and revenues are anticipated to be flat due to the housing crisis, yet Nau and Freitas were surprised when told about the budget shortfall.

Petaluma has made the most drastic cuts in Sonoma County.

Spence Burton’s years of financial experience balancing a million-dollar budget, his expertise in negotiations with people and his willingness to make the City Council his only job makes him the most qualified candidate.

Vote for Spence Burton. Burton will make Petaluma a better place to live for all of us.
