CASSIDY’S SCHOOLGATE; NADIA’S COMMERCIAL; TERRY IS BACK!
The other “T” in TnT is back! With just over a week before the November 2 election, Steven Tavares and Nicholas Terry discuss the growing controversy with mayoral candidate Stephen Cassidy and how he can avoid it becoming an even bigger issue. Nick also has a critique of Nadia Lockyer’s campaign commercial and it’s totally tubular! It’s all on the East Bay’s only political chatfest–The EastBayCitizen.com TnT Podcast.

Exactly. These two atheists are pond scum pure and simple. She was on this board a while back talking about Tavares and called him “a native born white” while blubberboy is supposedly “latino”, while there are probably more Tavares' in any phonebook in Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo and Caracas then you'll ever find “Katz'”. bahhahahahahaha
Yeah, McKinley is fine for other minorities, but not their kids. HYPOCRITES! Hell, even Corvallis School in Washington Manor (San Lorenzo District) has the same or higher scores than Roosevelt. I hope an PRAY, yes, you atheist moron, PRAY! than Katz is kicked off the Board and Tuesday, and they move out of town before Easter.

Being on the School Board, Katz should be working to improve all the schools in the District, especially McKinley. However, fatboy isn't interested in improving schools, he's more interested in furthering his atheist/communist agenda, while moving his “precious” to schools with less minorities under the racist guise of calling McKinley “underperforming”. What a jackass.

I for one believe strongly that you and your husband had an advantage in putting your children in a different school; either way, way to believe in the school system and consider it “low-performing,” that's classy. If it's easy to get into the school, folks, step up and defend her.

Ok, Marga…
Give it a THIRD, FOURTH and FIFTH listen, please.
I ask if the candidates have said “we shouldn't have been doing this,” or what are people saying exactly and I note that there was no campaigning at the League of Women Voters, and 99% of the candidates obliged.
I said “if you're a candidate” and you're handing out…I did not say your husband was handing out…I am speculating if a candidate does it at this type of event. It is VERY clear that your husband is wearing a campaign t-shirt. He didn't or shouldn't have worn it; I said, people know who he is. “Them showing up is campaigning enough, and is a smart move.” Violates NOTHING. A flyer shows that they will be there, and shows their name and title. It shows 2 candidates, but does not list your husband as one, fine. I do not say that they handed our flyers or were “passing out a bag of cookies,” I said it would be silly. The idea of a candidate campaigning at this type of event is silly and a bad move.
I do not say specifically that they passed out flyers, although, maybe someone other then your husband could have; unless you know specifically that all three candidates have nothing existing.
A shirt with your name on it is campaign material.
You and your husband say nothing wrong went on. But that is wrong. They were there in campaign mode, they showed up for that reason, as well as any other reason.
Fine, they were there and they shouldn't have worn the shirts; it was in poor taste. Yet, you think its ok. Steve notes that maybe they didn't know what they were doing, or that its possibly free speech. But he and I discussed that their appearance was one of a person campaigning.
I WILL admit that you understood me wrong about passing out flyers. But, I will not apologize for calling out that candidates wore campaign t-shirts to a school function.

Our daughters are @ Roosevelt because after trying McKinley for 3 years, I realized that they would receive a significantly better education @ Roosevelt. Kids @ Roosevelt are challenged more, are subjects of greater expectations and have the “luxury” of being able to spend more time studying social sciences & sciences as Roosevelt is not a low-performing school.
There were no strings of any kind pulled to get my kids transferred to Roosevelt. Roosevelt is a naturally under-enrolled school, though for some grades they get more transfer requests that they can accommodate. McKinley, meanwhile, is a naturally impacted schools – some kids have to be transferred out of McKinley ever year. This year as far as I know every kindergardener who applied for a transfer to Roosevelt by the spring deadline got it, and I think that's true of 3rd graders as well. I know one of my daughter's McKinley's classmates from last year is in class with her this year as well.
Unfortunately for anyone who would like to make a political issue out of this, Latrina Dumas, Mike's opponent on the School Board race, also had her children transferred to Roosevelt.

Why is your daughter attending Roosevelt and not your neighborhood school? That is the interesting story.
And did Mike pull strings or use his position to get your daughter in there?

Nicholas, let's see if I can be more clear. In the podcast you suggested that Mike had handed out campaign literature at the Roosevelt Festival and that he should apologize for having done so. Mike, however, did not hand out any campaign literature at the festival. As I said above, it would have been impossible for him to do so, as such campaign material does not exist. If you or Tavares have any evidence whatsoever that Mike or Cassidy or anyone handed out campaign material, then you should present it. If not, you should apologize for slandering Mike & Cassidy.
Now, if you are now denying that you suggested that Mike handed out campaign material, then what do you think he should apologize for? For having attended an event at his daughter's school? For having participated in a fund-raising activity for the PTA?

Hey Marga, why don't you give it a listen again. I don't allege anything…Tavares asks me a question based on information that many know and witnessed…I responded with my opinion; if you listen with a clear mind, you'll hear me say all your spouse and Cassidy should do is say they were sorry and take blame and move on; are you saying they were not at this event in campaign mode and they did not hand out campaign material? Lying will make it worse.
Don't stark talking that same old blogger bullshit about threats and talking garbage about one of the few decent journalists left…no one gives a crap about what you spew.
Who did we slander that hasnt already done it with their own effort? You yourself can be called on the slander…Mrs. Katz.
I will not say sorry for speaking my mind. You maybe should consider it…actually, dont…we all know you are sorry now.

Steven, in your podcast Terry Nicholas alleges that Mike Katz's (my husband's) campaign handed out fliers & information during the Roosevelt Festival. You both make a huge deal out of this fact, suggesting that it broke some law and suggesting that Mike apologize. The allegation, however, is false. Not only did Mike not hand out any flier or information at the Roosevelt festival, but at the time he actually had not printed any fliers or other campaign material for this election. A fact that you would have known had you had the integrity to call or e-mail Mike and ask him about it. Journalism 101, remember?
Instead you went on repeating false information and slandering a person you dislike. You don't have to worry about Mike going after you legally, your lies hurt you and any possibility for a career (even as a lowlife pundit) much more than they hurt Mike. But you should, indeed, worry about that potential career of yours. Not only are you guaranteeing by your unethical behavior that nobody (but Santos) will talk to you, but you will eventually find that newspapers don't want to hire people who are not only liars, but bad liars.
So perhaps you should take your own advice, apologize sincerely (if you can manage that), move on and try to behave more ethically in the future.
