Challengers filed to fight threeincumbents for council seats

BY JOSHUA MOLINADAILY SOUND EDITOR

Setting the stage for a dramatic politi-cal battle, the Santa Barbara City Clerk’soffice on Friday certified the 10 candi-dates who will appear on the CityCouncil ballot this November.

Dale Francisco, Michael Self andRandy Rowse are running to keep theirseats on the City Council. They face aformidable challenge from theDemocratic Party’s slate of DeborahSchwartz, Cathy Murillo and IyaFalcone.

Falcone already served two terms onthe council, but she’s back for a third run,

after she failed to gather enough signa-tures to qualify for the ballot in her bidfor the mayor’s seat in 2009.

Sharon Byrne, an Eastside neighbor-hood community activist, is also a con-tender. Rounding out the ballot areSebastian Aldana, Jerry Matteo, andCruzito Cruz, a perennial candidate.

Conservatives currently have thepower at City Hall. Francisco was elect-ed in 2007, followed by conservativesFrank Hotchkiss and Michael Self in2009. Then in 2010, the council majoritypicked Rowse, owner of the ParadiseCafé, to replace Das Williams, who waselected to the State Assembly.

The new council majority has steeredthe council’s focus to gang violence,homeless, graffiti and high density hous-ing.

The Democratic Party strategicallyselected three candidates who mightappeal to different audiences to chal-lenge the incumbents. Schwartz is thedaughter of former County SupervisorNaomi Schwartz and she is well-con-nected with Democratic power brokers.Falcone has the best name recognition ofanyone in the race and enjoys massivesupport from the public safety unions.Murillo, a former journalist with the

ASK SETH & BRAD

We can be honest with each other, thepast number of anxiety filled monthshave been nerve-racking.

Washington gridlock, followed by thedowngrade coupled with sour economicdata finished off with a side of marketpanic. Even for the savviest investors,this is a lot to digest. So the question ofthe week and months ahead is whetherwe are headed for another recession andmore market turmoil?

Goldman Sachs reported this weekthat there is a 1 in 3 chance for a reces-sion in 2012. This seems like a startlingstatistic but if you read between thelines, the previous estimations werearound 20 percent from what we can tellso it was increased but not coming fromzero.

We have technically been in a“recovery” for the past few yearsthough for most, it does not feel thatway. But we have been experiencingpositive growth and this week there wassome “better” employment numbers.There has also been a tremendous dropin oil prices and that can go a long wayin spurring economic growth.Expansions and contractions are part ofthe cycles and they help provide equi-librium for future stability.

Many are arguing that we, along withEurope are on pace for debt induced“rolling recessions” similar to thoseexperienced in Japan over the past 20years. If this is the case, the world doesnot end, it just means that society willhave to work longer and save more. Thepersonal finance solution is to increasesavings dramatically and rebalance yourinvestment portfolios often to takeadvantage of price movements.

Others are saying this market looks alot like 2008 and are we heading towardanother drop? While the volatility in themarket is similar, the underlying issuesare definitely not the same. Our bankingsystem if far healthier than it wasbefore, though not pristine.

The balance sheets of corporationsand individuals are stronger as well. Byand large both have been deleveragingthemselves (paying off debts) and sav-

ing more money. Corporate financialstatements in aggregate are flush withcash at record levels, which is good forstability but a thorn in the side ofWashington in that they are not spend-ing that money to hire people.

While that is the US in a nutshell,Europe is a different story. Their banksnever did de-leverage to the extent ofthe US and “some balance sheets lookworse than years past and it probablywill get worse before getting better”according to Jonathan Beinner, CIO andCo-Head, Global Fixed Income andLiquidity Management, GSAM.

The Euro political debate is worth-while to follow. The coming year(s) willeither provide a probable break up tothe Euro or what many experts believeto be the more likely path, a fiscalunion. Something has to be fixed overthere, as few choices exist. But as we alltoo well know, politicians don’t seem todo much on big issues until they haveno other choices.

As we circle the globe, the emerginggrowth countries continue to show greateconomic gains. Though their momen-tum is negatively impacted by the slowprogress of the US and Europe. These“growth” countries collectively make upabout a third of all the world economicactivity and that number has beenincreasing. These societies account forroughly 70 percent of the global popula-tion and they may just be the futureconsumers that pull us along on the nextround?

Getting back to our markets, if weare headed toward a possible recession,what does that mean for our markets?Some are arguing that the recent slidehas now priced equities in that recessionrange. Others are arguing that furtherdeclines are possible while opposingviews point to tremendous opportuni-ties. Who is right?

While day-to-day prognostication onprice movements is a futile exercise, wesuggest you focus on corporate earningsto help indicate where things may betrending. Stocks trade on the futureexpectations of earnings during normaltimes and liquidity needs typically dur-ing panics. The companies that make upthe S&P500 are in track for postingearnings around the $94 dollar levelfrom the estimates we view. What mul-tiple do you want to assign?

Historically speaking, the market hastraded around 16 times earnings so thatwould tell us the market is cheap.However, during times of crisis anduncertainty, that multiple tends to shrinkdown to around 12. During times ofgreater uncertainty, let’s call this panic,you can see it shrink to the 8-9-10 level.If you price in a recession, the generalrule of thumb is to knock 15 percent offestimated earnings. This is why you getso wildly different opinions on wherethe market should trade and where peo-ple are willing to buy and sell (i.e.volatility).

We live in a world of risks. Alwayshave and always will. But we ask thatyou to think about the feelings you hadat the best and worst economic times ofthe past twenty years. Did you feel mostconfident to buy real estate at the top ofthe bubble? Did you feel most discom-fort for holding stocks as they bottomedout a few years back? Make financialdecisions based upon a plan, look at allthis “stuff” objectively and please keepemotions in check. A clear head general-ly prevails in making prudent long-termdecisions.

If you have a question you wantaddressed, please submit them [email protected]

Opportunity or recession repeat:What’s different this time?

NEWS IN BRIEF

American kidnapped in PakistanLAHORE, Pakistan (Reuters) – An American citizen was

kidnapped from his residence in Pakistan’s eastern city ofLahore on Friday, police said.

Police identified the man as “J.E. Warner,” who they said wasworking on a development project in the country’s lawless trib-al areas, where Pakistani troops have been battling Islamistinsurgents for years.

A U.S. Embassy spokesman said they were trying to confirmthe reports.

“Some six to eight people broke into his house at around 3:30a.m., when security guards on duty were making preparation forfasting,” police official Tajamal Hussain told Reuters, referringto the Ramadan fast observed by Muslims.

“Two of the assailants came from the front gate while aboutsix others used the backdoor. They tortured the guards and thentook the American with them.”

Hussain said Warner, in his 60s, had been living in Pakistanfive to six years. He mostly lived in Islamabad but had beentraveling to Lahore.

Kidnap for ransom is relatively common in Pakistan, thoughforeigners are not often targets.

Gas tax poses tough decisionWASHINGTON (Reuters) – A multibillion-dollar gasoline

tax to maintain U.S. highways and mass transit will be in jeop-ardy when Congress resumes in early September in the wake ofbruising budget and aviation funding battles.

An 18.4-cents-per-gallon gasoline tax paid by consumers atthe pump is set to expire Sept. 30, but Democrats andRepublicans have been unable to advance legislation.

While chances are good for a temporary extension of the tax,according to congressional aides, conservative Republicans aimto use the debate to open another front in their battle to shrinkthe size and scope of the federal government.

“Instead of burdening states and micromanaging local trans-portation decisions from Washington, states like Oklahomashould be free to choose how their transportation dollars arespent,” Republican U.S. Senator Tom Coburn said.

Coburn and some of his fellow conservatives want to letstates opt out of the federal highway program, giving them morecontrol over how the tax revenue is spent on projects.

According to a spokeswoman, Coburn intends to offer upsuch legislation as an amendment to the gasoline tax extensionwhen it is considered in the Senate.

While it’s not likely to succeed, the Senate votes will “setmarkers” for building support for the initiative, said anti-tax,conservative advocate Grover Norquist, head of Americans forTax Reform.

The Democrats were out first in theCity Council campaign.

In May, the earliest ever before anelection, party brass cleared the field andpropped Iya Falcone, Deborah Schwartzand Cathy Murillo on a pedestal.

This, they said, would be the slate to“take back City Hall.”

But the conservative incumbents haverevealed little about their organization,strategy and plan to beat back the threatfrom the Democratic machine.

Until now.The incumbents, Dale Francisco,

Randy Rowse and Michael Self havehired Chris Collier, a high-powered GOPpolitical strategist from Ventura Countyto run their campaigns.

Collier has deep roots in GOP circles.He currently is the executive director ofthe Ventura County Republican Party. Hetook a leave of absence to run the SantaBarbara candidates’ campaign.

He worked as a district representativefor State Sen. Tony Strickland. A yearago, Collier ran the campaign of AudraStrickland, Tony’s wife, in her bid tounseat Ventura County supervisor LindaParks.

Strickland raised more money thanParks, but was trounced at the polls.

Collier is also president of RinconStrategies, a political consulting firm thatdoes everything from build websites torepresent candidates and provide publicaffairs.

Collier also has a Ventura County TeaParty web page. He joined the party’sweb site in April. He said he’s not a TeaParty member, but had to create a

Ventura CountyTea Party web pagelinked to their sitein order to followtheir news andreceive theirnewsletters.

He acknowl-edged that hecozied up to theTea Party in theAudra Stricklandcampaign becauseof many sharedvalues.

“I am not activemember of the TeaParty,” Collier said.“You won’t see meorganizing TeaParty events.”

Collier, who onhis LinkedIn webpage lists his inter-ests as “excellenceand awesomeness”and specialties as“winning,” said theCity Council raceshould not be aboutparty affiliation.

“This isn’t aboutconservative versusliberal andRepublicans andD e m o c r a t s , ”Collier said. “Thisis not the time to bepartisan.”

Collier criticized the Santa BarbaraCounty Democratic Party.

“I found it very interesting that the

Democratic Party got involved as earlyas they did,” he said. “For a partymachine is to get involved and get

Chris Collier is a powerhouse in Ventura County Republican circles,having chaired the countyʼs party. Heʼs now running the campaigns forthree conservative Santa Barbara City Council candidates.

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES3 Stars – Challenging

In 1968, the original film “Planet ofthe Apes” was the result of a story byRod Sterling in which apes evolved intothe dominant species on our planet.Now, 43 years later, this film changesthe basic premise of the film. Ratherthan evolution producing intelligentapes, it is humanity’s plan to create evenmore human intelligence that backfires.Creating a virus that regenerates thebrains of apes but is deadly for humans,the course of history is changed as ourpride creates the “Rise of the Planet ofthe Apes.”

Based on the novel by Pierre Boullewith the screenplay by Rick Jaffa, direc-tor Rupert Wyatt uses computer generat-ed animation to create a very believabletale. With subtle markers that provideidentifiable characters among the apes,Wyatt informs us not only on humanlife, but on the apes’ lives as well.

The central character of the film is ascientist whose father is suffering thebeginning stages of Alzheimer’s demen-tia. As a neuroscientist, Will Rodman(James Franco) is using apes as experi-mental animals to test a genetic changein brain capacity. When an experimentgoes horribly wrong, the apes are killedexcept for an infant that Rodman hidesby taking him home with him. He thendiscovers that this infant, whom henames Caesar, has inherited this mentalenhancement and quickly demonstrates

an intelligence that supersedes that ofhumans.

In addition to this violation of profes-sional ethics, Rodman makes a secondbreach when he begins to treat his fatherwith the yet unproven medicine. Butthis too goes horribly wrong when hechanges the delivery system into aninhalant, which is easily and quicklyabsorbed. It is this change that sets thestage for the rise of the planet of theapes.

The villains of the tale are a fatherand son who run the primate center witha cruel disregard for their charges. Thisdemonstration of what is the worstabout humanity becomes the justifica-tion for the apes’ revenge.

The implication that it is the humandesire for super intelligence that will beour ultimate downfall and that it is ourcruelty to animals that makes such a

downfall justified is the obvious mes-sage. That both our pride and our cruel-ty must change if we are to survive is atruth this film clearly demonstrates.

DISCUSSION FOR THOSE WHOHAVE SEEN THIS FILM:

1. Do you believe our desire toenhance our brain’s capacity will helpor harm us? Why do you answer as youdo?

2. When the apes become intelligent,some are shown to be cruel, whileCaesar is shown to be merciful. Thissubtle variance creates a depth to thefilm that allows us to be sympathetic tothe apes as they seek freedom. Do youbelieve that humanity would leave a for-est of intelligent apes alone? Why orwhy not?

3. After the credits begin, there is agraphic demonstration of how a viruscould be spread throughout airplanes.How do you think we can protect our-selves from such a believable spreadingof viral disease?

FINALE!

As we all know, our state, nation, andentire world have all been facing extraordi-narily challenging economic circumstancesover the past few years. Santa BarbaraCounty has unfortunately not been an excep-tion. And while it is generally accepted thatthe housing market crash, the stock marketcollapse, and ensuing rise of unemploymenthave collided to impact all our lives in oneway or another, the jury is still out on howwe can effectively turn it all around.

Here at home, it is the responsibility ofCounty government to do absolutely every-thing possible to expedite our path backtoward local economic prosperity.

In doing so it would be irresponsible toavoid the many difficult decisions at hand, orto avoid pursuing necessary changes, whichwill increase our efficiency well into thefuture. It is equally careless to oversimplifyour County’s finances with abstract concepts,or to scapegoat our public employees as theeasy fix to this complex challenge.

Although continuing our work toward asolution may be a difficult process, I am con-fident that if all stakeholders work togetherwe will be able to achieve additional savingsand create a more sustainable financial futurefor our County overall. Furthermore, I amconfident that if we continue our progress in

tackling several impor-tant challenges before us,much better times willensue for us all.

In addressing our chal-lenges, it is important tounderstand the basic factsregarding Countyemployees and their com-pensation.

Santa Barbara Countycurrently employs over3,600 people (down fromover 4,200 in 2008) froma wide range of profes-

sions and trades, most of which are found inthe private sector as well.

The County employs doctors, nurses,lawyers, engineers, planners and accountants,just to name a few. Most public employeeshave decided to forgo opportunities in the pri-vate sector with higher salaries and greaterperks in exchange for more long term stabili-ty and defined retirement benefits.

According to an October 2010 policy briefreleased by the UC Berkley Institute forResearch on Labor and Employment, “whentotal compensation is taken into account stateand local public sector workers in Californiaare similarly compensated to workers in the

private sector.” As we have seen, in good economic times

there is not much concern that public employ-ees do not receive salaries as high as theircounterparts in the private sector. But in badeconomic times, they seem to be an easy tar-get for those who are looking for someone toblame.

Our County also employs a wide range ofpublic safety professionals who serve inunique and critical roles in order to keep ourcommunity safe. These positions are notfound in the private sector and involve a highdegree of skill, training, and risk.

Our sheriff deputies, firefighters and pro-bation officers put their lives on the line dailyand make numerous sacrifices to protect usall. For this reason it is important that theyreceive income, health and retirement bene-fits that are commensurate with the valuesour society places on the services they pro-vide.

Furthermore, it is imperative that we retainour highly qualified public safety force toboth save money in the long run (by prevent-ing additional hiring, training and turnover)and also to maintain the consistency, qualityand efficiency of service the public expects.

Regarding pensions, County employeesreceive a defined benefit pension, which

involves the employee and employer payinginto a retirement fund during their employ-ment. That money is invested and uponretirement the retiree begins receiving pay-ments from that fund, based upon a formula,which accounts for the number of yearsworked for the County and their salary. Thisformula allows for stability and a predictableretirement income.

Currently the average County pension forgeneral employees is $1,900 a month($22,800 a year) and for public safetyemployees is $4,520 a month ($54,240 ayear). Historically these systems have sus-tained themselves over the years howeverrecent national and global events have chal-lenged these funds just as they have with pri-vate investments, now necessitating changesto ensure continued sustainability.

To better balance the employee pensionprogram with the County’s long-term finan-cial stability, the Board of Supervisorsappointed a special commission earlier thisyear to investigate potential alternatives toour current retirement system.

The commission’s report included severalpossibilities, including a “two-tier” benefitstructure with lower benefit formula for newemployees; increasing the amount that cur-

Diabetes can be unpredictable.

Santa Barbara Independent and KCSB andlongtime community activist, would be thefirst Latina on the council, if elected.

Byrne disrupted the storyline of the raceafter she announced she was running becausemost political insiders believed she would runin 2013, when the Democrats are up for re-election.

Instead, she’s challenging the conservatives,all of whom she has worked closely with dur-

ing the last year on problems on the Eastside.The conservatives are outraged that Byrne,

a political moderate, is running for a seatbecause she is likely to take votes away fromthe conservative incumbents.

Even if Byrne doesn’t win a seat, they areworried that she will knock off the conserva-tives allow the Democrats to sweep into office.

The final day to vote will be Election Day,Nov. 8.

The city will conduct a vote-by-mail elec-tion, with ballots being issued starting inOctober.

CANDIDATESFROM PAGE 2

AMES, Iowa (Reuters) – Six Republicanpresidential hopefuls compete Saturday in theIowa straw poll, an unofficial test of campaignstrength that will share the stage this year withthe launch of Texas Governor Rick Perry’sWhite House run.

The two events, coming less than sixmonths before Iowa residents hold the firstpresidential nominating contest, promise toreshape the Republican race for the nomina-tion to challenge President Barack Obama in2012.

Perry will announce his presidential bid inSouth Carolina, another state with an earlynominating contest, and is expected to imme-diately vault into the top tier of contendersalong with front-runner Mitt Romney. Perryvisits Iowa Sunday.

The straw poll, a nonbinding mock election,traditionally winnows the field of poor per-formers and boosts those who do better thanexpected. This year, struggling Tim Pawlentyis fighting for survival as rival MicheleBachmann tries to keep her recent momentumalive.

Romney will be on the ballot but chose notto participate after winning the straw poll in2007. He later lost the Iowa caucuses to MikeHuckabee, who rode the momentum he gener-ated with a surprise second-place straw pollfinish.

“It’s an event that in-and-of-itself is mean-ingless, but can have a tremendous politicalimpact,” said Dennis Goldford, a political sci-entist at Drake University in Des Moines. “Ithas always had the role of eliminating theweak and thinning out the field.”

The poll is a fund-raiser for the state partyand creates a carnival atmosphere around IowaState University’s basketball arena, where can-didates entice supporters with big-tent enter-tainment, free food and speeches.

Any Iowa resident over 18 can show up andparticipate, with many allowing a candidate tobuy their $30 ticket. Candidates organize busesto haul in supporters from around the state in awarmup for the organizational effort needed inthe caucuses.

PALIN NOT A FANNot all of the candidates are fans of the

event. Sarah Palin, the 2008 vice presidentialnominee who is still flirting with a WhiteHouse run, questioned its validity during avisit to the Iowa state fair Friday.

“It’s not always the tell-tale sign of what theelectorate is feeling,” Palin said of the poll.“It’s who happens to show up and has the timeand energy to spend that day for their particu-lar candidate.”

Pawlenty and Bachmann have the most atrisk. They are both vying for the support of thesocial conservatives who dominate Iowa’skickoff contest, and both need a win in Iowa’scaucuses in 2012 to have a viable path to thenomination.

Bachmann’s appeal to both Tea Party fiscalconservatives and social conservatives hasshot her to the top of opinion polls in Iowa, buta flat performance by the Minnesota congress-woman could puncture her early momentum.

Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor,is mired in single digits in state and nationalpolls and needs a strong showing to keep hiscampaign alive. He ripped Bachmann’s recordin Congress during a debate Thursday at thestraw poll site.

“He’s been trying to say Bachmann is allflash and he can go the distance, but he has hadtrouble convincing Republicans here of that,”Goldford said.

Pawlenty spokesman Alex Conant refusedto discuss how strong a showing was needed tokeep Pawlenty viable, but he said he was con-fident it would show him on the rise.

“We acknowledge that we have to showsome movement from the back of the pack tothe front,” Conant said.

Four other Republicans – RepresentativesRon Paul and Thaddeus McCotter, business-man Herman Cain and former Senator RickSantorum – also paid the fees and bought tentsand speaking time at the event.

Romney, along with former House ofRepresentatives Speaker Newt Gingrich andformer Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, did notpay to participate in the straw poll but will belisted on the ballot.

rent employees pay into the retirement sys-tem; and eliminating the ability for “pensionspiking.”

I am happy to report that the County hasalready implemented a number of these meas-ures and we are continuing to work with ouremployee groups to make additional modifi-cations to our retirement system. I am confi-dent that the result of these efforts will ulti-mately provide a balance of protecting the fis-cal health of our County, ongoing stability ofour employees and satisfactory services to thepublic.

In addition to on-going pension reformefforts, the County and our employees alsocontinue to achieve cost savings throughwage concessions. In better economic times,most of our employee groups negotiatedincremental wage increases.

In addressing the changing economy overthe past few years, these groups have allstepped up and made concessions or deferralswhich have saved and will save the County

roughly $30 million during the past two, cur-rent and next fiscal years. These includerecent agreements with our Firefighters,Engineers and Technicians, Sheriffs Managersand Deputy Sheriffs for a new series of con-cessions and deferrals, and we are also cur-rently in negotiations with all of our otheremployee groups.

Like everyone else, public employees needto make sacrifices, and in our County they aredoing so.

In sum, it is irresponsible to not take lead-ership and make the necessary changes inthese challenging times, but it is equally irre-sponsible to scapegoat and oversimplify therealities of a situation at hand.

Everyone, including our public employeesare part of our path back towards economicprosperity and it is only through valuing eachother while making the necessary changesthat we can truly take a step forward. I remainconfident that by working together we can getthere.

GUEST OPINION

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – ComedianStephen Colbert is putting his political actioncommittee cash to work with advertisementsthat mockingly endorse Texas Governor RickPerry ahead of an Iowa straw poll this week onthe other Republican presidential hopefuls.

The tongue-in-cheek advertising campaignis the first that Colbert has launched since theComedy Central comedian won approval inJune from the Federal Election Commission toform his “Super PAC.”

In a pair of advertisements unveiled on hisSuper PAC website this week ahead of theAmes Straw Poll on Saturday, Colbert joking-ly urges Iowans to write in the name of TexasGovernor Rick Perry, who is not listed on theballot, but to misspell it as “Parry.”

“I called dibs on Rick Parry a long timeago,” Colbert said in a comedic statement thatlauds the staunchly conservative governor forhis “tough talk” and “cowboy boots.”

The comedian who masquerades as a con-servative commentator on his late-night pro-gram “The Colbert Report” but has espousedliberal causes seems to have made a well-timed choice for his satirical endorsement.

On Thursday, a Perry spokesman confirmedhe will seek the 2012 Republican nomination.Perry’s official announcement is planned for

Saturday.Colbert joked that he wants Iowans to write

in “‘Parry with an ‘A’ for America, with an ‘A’for Iowa.”

It was unclear where the advertisementshave appeared aside from Colbert’s Super PACwebsite. But a statement from the organizationsaid that at least one commercial has begunairing “across the greater Des Moines metro-plex.”

The advertisements say they are paid for byAmericans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow,the official name of the Colbert Super PAC, orpolitical action committee.

SuperPACs are amped-up PACs that havearisen following a landmark U.S. SupremeCourt ruling in 2010 that made it easier forentities like corporations and unions to pourmoney into political campaigns.

Colbert’s creation of his PAC is aimed atmocking the Supreme Court decision in thecase of Citizens United v. Federal ElectionCommission.

But some legal commentators have said thatit could also make it easier for candidates whowork for major media companies – such asColbert’s employer Viacom Inc – to use thosecorporations to further their political careers.

behind candidates like this in a nonparti-san election, at the end of the day thereare a lot of voters turned off by partisanpolitics.”

Collier disputed the contention thatthe council has a “conservative majori-ty.”

He said that there are threeDemocrats, two Republicans and twodecline-to-states. He said this council is“balanced.”

“Before that you had a partisan major-ity, but it didn’t represent the city thatwell,” he said.

Democratic power brokers believethat the incumbents’ decision to hire anout-of-town GOP political strategist is asign of their “desperation.”

“I guess the conservative incumbentswanted to put to bed any rumors that theyare not a conservative slate,” said DarakaLarimore-Hall, chairman of the SantaBarbara County Democratic Party. “Ialso know they have been casting a verywide net and they have had trouble find-ing someone who wanted to run theircampaign.”

Rowse told The Daily Sound that theincumbents believed that it would be agood thing to work with the same con-sultant to save money and coordinate asimilar campaign message.

“His personal politics are unknown tome,” Rowse said. “We just talk aboutcampaigns and getting people to knockon doors.”

Rowse, who was appointed inDecember after Das Williams was elect-ed to the State Assembly, said he enjoysworking with all of the council members.

“The three of us are interested in see-ing the other two get elected,” Rowsesaid. “We think there’s a good chemistry

on the council, the whole council, and wewant to maintain that. We like the direc-tion the City Council is headed.”

Collier said he also believes that vot-ers like the direction Santa Barbara isheaded.
