Who’s running for Burbank City Council?

By on Saturday, October 15, 2016

It’s hard to turn away from national politics with the erratic and over the top Donald Trump trying to bully his way into the White House. Especially now that Trump has launched into an all out feud with the Republican establishment. Drama, drama, and more drama!

UPDATED:Election Buzz: Campaign signs, Gabel-Luddy, and new school board candidate

By on Saturday, November 22, 2014

While the debate rages, residents and businesses are continuing to show support for city council candidate, Chris Rizzotti, by publicly displaying  his yard signs. The Rizzotti camp has been criticized for offering its political signs now rather than waiting until the holiday season nears an end.  Recently, I spoke with some of the other candidates in 2015 races and none was willing to buck tradition and offer yard signs before the first of the year. In a letter in the Burbank Leader, outspoken resident Molly Shore,... Read More →

By on Tuesday, August 26, 2014
