The Conservative Turtle: Candidates Talk Gang Violence - DAILY SOUND - November 1, 2007
http://conservativeturtle.blogspot.com/2007/11/what-could-be-more-timely-and.html
Monday, November 19, 2007. Candidates Talk Gang Violence - DAILY SOUND - November 1, 2007. Hat could be more timely and unfortunate than two separate stabbing incidents Sunday night to support what we have been saying? The offering of City programs to youth that the City feels satisfied with is doing little to stop what should be the most urgent and primary target – currently active gang members. As opposed to at-risk youth. Much to his credit, Brian Barnwell. Still not a word from. Though to be fair, sh...

Thursday, November 29, 2007. Mayor's Response - "Get your head out of its shell turtle" Daily Sound November 29, 2007. In Tuesday, November 20th's commentary by Conservative Turtle, Mr. Head-in-his-shell has decided he knows the answer to the question, "Why did an incumbent lose the election." His one and only answer: "Public safety". Thirdly, C. Turtle says "We prefer to look at the final tally of voting: Incumbents 19,579 and Challengers 20,703", so "there are more voters unhappy with the current C...

http://conservativeturtle.blogspot.com/2007/10/city-council-challengers-respond-to.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2007. City Council Challengers Respond to Illegal Immigration Questionnaire. 1) What is your highest priority issue for the City? Eliminating gangs and planning properly for ample parking and limited growth, density and building height. 1 Protecting our environment - especially where it intersects with human health - by improving our dangerously poor air quality and getting toxic chemicals off public lands, and discouraging their use on private lands. Including cleaning our oceans,...

Monday, November 19, 2007. City Council Election Analysis (and partial recent gang activity summary) - DAILY SOUND November 20, 2007. Hat a week. We have had a small change to the city council and have been left to speculate – why didn’t Brian Barnwell do so well as an incumbent? After reading a week of media analysis and blog opinions, the turtles have decided that nobody gets it. All are scratching their heads, wondering how could this be? We prefer to look at the final tally this way:. Meanwhile, the ...

http://conservativeturtle.blogspot.com/2008/03/our-silly-council-march-2-2008.html
Sunday, March 2, 2008. Our Silly Council - March 2, 2008. The turtles have been hibernating in the mud over the cold winter months. Although we have been quiet, our eyes and ears have been open, and we have been watching events unfold. Generally, we have been satisfied with our accomplishments from the warmer seasons, but there is more work to be done come springtime. Meanwhile, the more appropriate and urgent local issue of public safety was ignored throughout the meeting. This despite testimony fro...

http://conservativeturtle.blogspot.com/2007/12/now-that-we-have-your-attention-daily.html
Wednesday, December 5, 2007. Now that we have your attention - Daily Sound December 6, 2007. We are honored, a little flattered, somewhat amused, but mostly stunned that the Mayor took the time to respond defensively to our last column of November 20th with a letter published in the November 29th Daily Sound entitled “Get your head out of its shell, Turtle”. (See Below). From the Mayor’s letter published in the November 29th Daily Sound:. We will even concede that it is their #1 concern. However, bei...
