Letter to the editor: Retired local judge endorses Bruce Gibson for supervisor
To the editor,
The pepper spray attack that took place recently on the Vineyard Drive overpass is indicative of the lack of civility in our political sphere right now.
Our government “of the people” requires us to work together to address our problems. Our country and our county depend upon the use of open and impassioned but respectful communication to solve our problems, not violence or demonization of our opponents. Election ballots will be mailed in early October, and I urge residents to vote for civility in our local politics by voting for Bruce Gibson.
Bruce Gibson is smart, thoughtful, and considerate to all who appear before the Board. He does not smear, shame, ridicule or bully people with whom he disagrees. He highly values the diverse views in our County, using them to guide his decision making, create new solutions, and inspire forward progress. He oversees the work of our local public employees with integrity. He brings humanity and years of earned wisdom to the Board.
Respectful dialogue and deep integrity are vital to our government “of the people” and must be rooted in our local community leaders. A vote for Bruce Gibson is a vote in favor of these values.
Signed,
Honorable Charles S. “Steve” Crandall, Judge of the Superior Court, San Luis Obispo County (Ret.)
