Placer County and the US need a Complete House Cleaning -Kranz, Klein, Leslie and McClintock Must Go

A blue wave is changing the nation’s political landscape, and Placer County is part of that change. Doolittle has limped off into oblivion in order not to face “something”, leaving Bruce Kranz the most unpopular politician, who is on his way out the door also. Jerry Simmons has done the people an egalitarian service by not seeking re-election to the Sierra College Board of Trustee, which leaves just two disposables, Aaron Klein and Scott Leslie, two do-nothings who are running on a fabricated balanced budget claim. Sierra College had three consecutive balanced budgets under President Ramirez, whom they knifed.

But the biggest joke is Tom McClintock, scouring the land to try to find someplace that will give him a $169,500 sinecure to “cut taxes”; Doolittle’s old job looks like that place. In a county and state with infrastructure falling apart, the last thing the people need is an elected official whose only vision is to cut taxes, which are the means by which a civilized society remains civilized by providing for its people. We need a complete elimination of these kinds of representatives in Placer County and in the US.

Hi Shundahai,

I don't know if we've ever met, but I just wanted to share some facts about the Sierra College budget.

Here are the numbers:

2001-02: Deficit of $437,449
2002-03: Deficit of $24,809
2003-04: Deficit of $395,906

2004-05: Surplus of $502,883
2005-06: Surplus of $107,733
2006-07: Surplus of $1,387,863
2007-08: Surplus of $27,799*

(*2007-08 projected as the books aren't closed)

I firmly believe that balanced budgets and fiscal discipline result in increased access to education, which is my passion and why I am serving at Sierra College.

Best regards,
Aaron Klein
