IT'S
TIME to clean house in Richmond....
...We
recommend voters re-elect Tom Butt, the only councilman
seeking re-election who stood up against the sleazy Chevron
deal, and cast their two other votes for Jeff Ritterman,
chief of cardiology at Kaiser Richmond, and Jovanka
Beckles, a counselor and educator who is also
vice president of the Richmond Heights Neighborhood Council. |
