SANTOBERFEST: SPECIAL GUEST MAYOR TONY SANTOS
With the November election just a month away, San Leandro Mayor Tony Santos sits down with EastBayCitizen.com reporter Steven Tavares. Santos lays out his plan for re-election, the city’s economy, pension and, of course, takes pointed jabs at two of his opponents for mayor. All on the only political podcast in the East Bay–The East Bay Citizen TnT Podcast.

Has anyone checkdc to see if the bacalhao sales have increased lately? That would indicate that Santos is confident he will win. Quick let's call Luso Mercado.

Santos was seen going door to door Saturday morning in Estudillo Estates along Joaquin Avenue and Bancroft Avenue. He too was dressed very fashionable; grey t-shirt and dungaree jeans.

Good idea, Anonymous, however, I am not sure if Tavares and I want to travel to Sacramento to interview her; maybe the next time she's in town to dedicate a tree or pick up a check!

Keep up the diversity in the podcasts. It makes for more interesting stuff. How about interviewing Hayashi?

Tavares will have to set that up, since January I've been trying to ask her simple questions and apparently she doesn't know how to use email.

Tavares…your Filipovich sounds like an intelligent & wise President Obama, half of him at least (yes, I said it, and thats for the old timer who called me racist because I said I disagreed with the President)…but alas, we don't have an intelligent or wise President. Maybe Sweet Lou can fill that void.

It's a very telling and tragic state of the Santos Candidacy when his supporters do not use their names, (not even an initial), are unable to defend or support anything about him and resort to using childish pranks and innuendo against those who are supporting another candidate. It is really unseemly. I think it's time some civility is employed on this board.

I have to agree with Manuel. Santos came across as ignorant and out of touch. I think that despite his advanced age he has very little knowledge of economics. It's time for him to go. There was no need for him to attack Starosciak like he did, nor Frank Lynn for that matter.

She is rude and mean! She has chosen to ignore Mayor Santos during council meetings and she was told to apologize to him and as of yesterday still had not. She is a bad example of a leader.

WOW Manuel, I do not know what podcast you were listening too, but it certainly was not this one. While Tavares questions were too restrained and easy on Santos, Santos certainly came across as sensible and calm…you however sound like a “manic” man in your rant. Chill a bit and people might hear you better.

OK Tavares what's with this crap this week? You do an opening lampooning Filipovich and then go after Santos with kid gloves. Your head was so up his butt I could hear you tickling Santos' tonsils.
Santos has once again demonstrated his absolute ineptitude and Tavares let him go with a soft patting on the back.
Santos had the nerve to defend his comment that 10% unemployment in San Leandro was acceptable. Then later on in this “interview” Santos had the gall! the absolute gall! to defend City Salaries and say that 1/3 of City Employees making over $100,000 a year was acceptable! The man is a jackass pure and simple
He then went on to say that “if you cut City Employees salaries you'll be taking money out of the economy”. What a fool, an absolute fool. Hey Santos you BIG DUMB IDIOT! where the hell do you think that money came from to pay those lazy good for nothings??? IT CAME FROM THE ECONOMY! Hey Santos you STUPID BABOOZE WHERE DO YOU THINK THE MONEY COMES TO PAY ALL THE TAXES YOU RAISED???? FROM THE ECONOMY!
One of Santos' more laughable comments was that “San Leandro has one of the finest Accounting Systems” Yeah, they do a good job of hiding money and “investing it” by way of their buddies.
I couldn't believe that Santos said that Joyce and Steve were “bullies”. When Santos is the biggest bully around, who thinks he has to make a law prohibiting everything he doesn't like. WHAT A JACKASS!
Finally Santos defends the low-income housing project at BART, attacks Frank Lynn and misrepresents the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) meetings, in which the low income housing was ramrodded through and any opposition to it was silenced AT THE MEETINGS. Santos may think most people are as stupid as the ones who put his signs on their laws, but he's in for a rude awakening this Novmember.
