I don't own a construction business. I don't sell houses in Atherton, I don't buy advertising space in your newspaper.

Alfred--Its not just another" business to run" for Mr. Gibboney--it's the "forth estate" and crucial to transparency in our community--I believe the issue here is-- How can Tom indorse Elizebeth Lewis for council and dismiss her enormous listed campaign contributions from develpement and realestate---and then run her paid add (with her name on it--see Amanac Febuary 11th top of page 38)-as owner and listing agent for University Properties???---all the while printing her denials of any ties to developement????? I Know he's busy and I know he dosen't want to see it cuz it inconveniant but but it is unfortunate.
