I voted for Mike Barbanica and now I regret it. He’s just another hand puppet, full of broken promises.
I like Barbanica but this comment is actually spot on. He is playing it safe like Sean Wright and that is why Sean Wright is no longer mayor. Step up Mike. You ran on being tough, not the wimpy guy in the corner agreeing with the Mayor.
So far disappointed in Barbanica, but I am giving him a pass for now. He is still learning. The rest of them have no excuses. Thorpe is basically the local version of a democrat Donald Trump. He belittles everyone who disagrees with him from calling the Antioch Herald and ECT blogs. Truth is, they are the only ones reporting on Thorpe being a jackass.
I had no idea this podcast existed. I love the mix of local and state news.
Someone should step up and get REALLY AGGRESSIVE with DUH MAYOR Thorpe! Put the little fink in his place! I hope Mike and Lori don’t start kissing up to this POS Thorpe! If I ever run into DUH MAYOR, I will raise bloody hell with him and I can out yell him . . . we will see who will belittle whom!
Why did KTVU want to interview Thorpe? Going to have to give it a listen to see how long it takes to throw up
KTVU is a strange bird. Other than tuning in to watch Bill Martin do the weather report because he has a fantastic background in the field, the rest are minorities hired on-the-cheap … except for a few regular people who are stand-ins.
