STATE SENATE | 10TH DISTRICT | The most important event in one of this year’s most vicious primary races in the state did not occur in 2014, but on October 25, 2011. That was the day when then-Assemblymember Mary Hayashi was arrested outside of Neiman Marcus in San Francisco with three pieces of shoplifted clothing worth $2,450. Hayashi eventually pleaded no contest to criminal charges, and her probation is nearing an end, but she’s still carrying the baggage of that day, and the incident may ultimately decide whether she will win a spot in the top two among five candidates running for the East Bay’s 10th state Senate district in the June 3 primary.
In 2012, Hayashi launched a surprising run for Alameda County supervisor just months after the shoplifting incident, and one of the main questions of that campaign centered on whether Union City Councilmember Richard Valle would use the scandal as a hammer against her. Valle never really did, and then cruised to victory…

Lacabe attempted to mislead voters on two fronts. Not only does lawyer imply you are practicing law, but since when did Mike Katz-Lacabe become Mike Katz. For the sake of not disclosing to voters that the two were married and running for central committee, she successfully duped voters.

You'll quickly find that “they don't care”… your big story doesn't even rise to the level of a traffic citation in most folks minds.

The Alameda County voters and the public need to know Marga Lacabe has a double standard.
Most people in San Leandro despise Marga and Mike Katz-Lacabe's bullying and lying.
Marga Lacabe lied on ballot statement when she campaigned for democratic central posing as a human rights lawyer when she just sits at home cyber bullying people while baby sitting was her real job, and she never pass the bar exam. The husband of hers Mike Katz-Lacabe who's running for office in San Leandro knowingly produced and handed out Marga's campaign flyers with her lies as a human rights lawyer that makes him as much a dishonest liar like his wife, they lied to the whole Alameda county voters.
See for yourself on page 32 from 2010 candidates list, Marga Lacabe identified herself as a human rights lawyer, we were told she was a full time nanny and 24/7 internet bully.

We should all thank Marga Lacabe for letting the public see the video, whether Bob chose to use it or not.
Finally Mary Hayashi's years of false stories are visibly refuted.
No longer do we have to give even 1% of credibility to Mary's contention that it was all some inadvertent mistake, made because she was distracted on her cell phone.
It shows Mary intentionally hid the merchandise, then ignored it while looking right at it in the bag while at the register.
Then, totally undistracted, walked out of the store in a effort to get away, without any indication she intended to return, as her hired PR man Sam Singer once led us to believe.
There is little to wonder about why Mary took a plea bargain rather than face certain conviction by a jury for a crime where “intention” is the crucial element.

Talk about knucklehead math…. sheesh
I see, only 1/3 of Republicans vote whereas, Democrats vote at a 100% rate.
I dare say Republican turnout in percentage terms is equal or greater than that of Democrats.

I'm thinking the June 3rd outcome something like the following-
Weickowski 38.5%
Hayashi 25.5%
Kuo 23.5%
Reed 6.5%
Bock 6%
Back in 2012, for supervisor, Mary got 23.87% and Valle got 36.29%, while a strong Mark Green got 30.47% for second place, however I don't think Kuo is nearly as strong as Green.
Kuo gets the 17% that are Republicans and then some extra from those who don't like either of the top two choices.
A tactical vote for Kuo stands a small chance to bounce Hayashi out of the top two.
In either case Wiecowski wins easily in November (barring release of some Tavares-rumored “sex tapes”)
Just what this contest needs, more videos of the candidates.

The campaign ugliness is unprecedented. Not only do we have the SD10 ugliness, we've got the assembly district negativity between Kansen Chu and Armando Gomez.

I don't want to see the same anti-Hayashi stuff coming into my mailbox over and over and over from the Wieckowski campaign and IEs which are pro-Wieckowski. Enough is enough.
