Dream Big takes on a Whole New Meaning (because working with Democratic constituencies is too hard) if she would actualize this impulse, made public today with texts and social media messages made. Today, Words & Deeds published an open letter signed by eight prominent political and labor activists condemning County Supervisor Nora Vargas hypocrisy concerning the controversial hiring process for a new County Administrative Office.
I like and supported Nora Vargas and the other Democrats on the Board of Supervisors. I also support labor. I wish that all these leaders can get it together and use back channels to communicate and lead a united front. Transparency has its purpose. The hiring of a new county administrative officer was always going to be done publicly. If Vargas felt that Chavez might not be the ideal candidate she should have told them so another potential candidate could be found who would be acceptable. Same with union leaders. You can't always get everything you want but why burn down the relationship you already have which has been working for you. This is just embarrassing to all concerned.
