As expected, Shanelle Scales-Preston and Mike Barbanica are locked in a tight race for a seat on County Board of Supervisors; MUSD's Measure O is just short of 55% required for passage
But yeah, I will agree--I did not even look at the Radke race on line. I so assumed (and wanted) him to win. I do want to say, I am tired of Kevin Murray having so much power. Radke has the power he has because of the good he has done in this town on his own (nevermind his parents). Young was given a big treasure chest because AMAF gave him part of hers, and she backed heavily by Murray who dictates what people can speak on FB, particularly Rants and Raves. He has also blocked me, who put the entire history and many individual building's resources, from looking at the Historic Society web page simply because when he joined that board I said to him "Kevin, do not become one of the bad guys" and so he feels like he can control me too. I had to take the prez of the HS to court for libel per se, but not even he (John Curtis) would block the HS FB page from me. Murray, in my opinion as it pertains to public policy, is interested in power and hides behind good works and therefore directed Young campaign while Radke is interested in authority that directs non-selfish civic purposes.
Craig, there have been local elections where not all the ballot were added up and the candidate who would not end up winning was 10% ahead midnight November 5th. Thompson/McKillop was one of these as was the Open Space Measure (forget the letter). It will not be called for some weeks and yes, in races with fewer votes, yes it can flip.
