In the video below Mr. Shorett tells residents how he intends to, “sell it to you.” If he were put in a position to do something in the best interest of the city at the sacrifice of our ward, Mr. Shorett said, “I would have to do a job on them.” Fire Protection and emergency medical calls from the West to the farthest East ends of our city are a critical need of 4th ward taxpayers.  Apparently, Mr. Shorett didn’t “deem” this to be a real concern of yours.  Not only did he sit silent, he voted to cut front line fire staffing positions.

Our city’s firefighter union is the single largest philanthropic organization donating on average over $50,000 per year back to San Bernardino to improve quality of life for children and residents. Mr. Shorett’s attempt to vilify their character is simply a campaign tactic designed to mislead and confuse voters for his own self-preservation.  He should consider his own words and actions before he suggests ill of our firemen and women. 

Mr. Shorett likes to say capital follows certainty.  His divisive, “good ol’ boy politics, leads exactly to uncertainty.  As demonstrated by his behavior when he left the council Dias in the middle of the Council Meeting on 10/19/2009, in protest.

I can't think of any better example of what not to do to.  But don’t take my word for it.  Watch the video.
