The Save East Rocklin aka El Don Neighborhood Advisory Committee voted this week to endorse Michele Vass for Rocklin City Council after a review of each of the 3 candidates publicly filed FPPC “Campaign Disclosure” forms filed so far for 2018.
Why Vote for Michele…simple. Michele is the only candidate who did not take money from developers. Both Jill Gayaldo and Bill Halldin have taken huge amounts of money from local developers, including the Sierra College developer and Sierra College Board of Trustee members who voted to develop “Sierra Villages” in our community. And let’s not forget former Sierra College Trustee Bill Halldin was instrumental in bringing this horrible development to our community, and Jill Gayaldo voted yes on Granite Bluff subdivision which has turned out to be an absolute nightmare for surrounding residents.
Although there are two Council seats up for election this year, we only support Michele for City Council. You only have to vote for one candidate. Mail-in ballots go out next Monday, Oct 8th, so get the word out now. Please pass this email onto your neighbors and other Rocklin voters.
We have Vote for Michele campaign signs available for pickup as well as handouts. Please contact us for where to pick up. For more information on Michele, visit her website at http://www.michelevass.com/
Below are just highlights of these 3 candidates campaign donations. We think this speaks volumes. How are we as concerned residents going to get a fair vote from councilmembers who take all this developer money? For actual copies of their complete FPPC filings click HERE.
