Independent wants 3rd district Dependent

Das Williams in a letter to his public states;” It is absolutely urgent to elect Doreen Farr in the 3rd District. Her serious opponent, David Smyser, has already vowed that if elected he will try to redistrict Santa Barbara County so that Isla Vista will be in the 2rd District, rather than the present 3rd District. This would virtually guarantee that no environmental majority could ever be seated on the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors.”

When I look at the endorsements for Ms. Farr I don’t recognize them as avid environmentalist as much as avid partisan politics wanting to regain control of the county to control redistricting and take us back to the old days which almost split the county. I also don’t recall Mr. Smyser’s statment as a vow but more of an observation in a different context. As far as IV, it may be better served if part of 2nd district. We in the 3rd district would not be.

I believe we will be better served with Mr. Smyser to keep us independent.
