Alameda Hospital Board’s Gorelick: unbecoming conduct continued

As mentioned yesterday, Elliott Gorelick has asked me to post additional documents regarding his ballot filing and I am obliging, despite the fact that I don’t think they help his position in any way and only support my initial post. That’s why I’m writing about this again, not because I planned on making this...

Gorelick’s comments policy, a clarification

October 5, 2011

On Monday, I wrote about the issue of Hospital Board member Elliott Gorelick making false statements about his own actions as his supporting evidence in calling someone a liar. In that post, I wrote: I asked Gorelick about this in the comment section of his blog, however it appears that the comment has been...

Alameda’s Elliott Gorelick: conduct unbecoming

Gorelick filing for ballot

Alameda Hospital followers are aware that Board Member Elliott Gorelick has some issues with his interactions with both the hospital staff and his fellow board members. He’s fond of referring to people as liars, as back in January, right after he was seated, he wrote: On several occasions, verifiably untrue statements were made to...

Alameda Point Leases: The smartest guys in the room

January 14, 2010

I wanted to talk about the conversation around the leases, especially with Darcy Morrison running around claiming that Alameda Point has generated $126 million in net income over 12 years. As proof, she points to David “Action Alameda” Howard’s “analysis” of the ARRA’s cash flow analysis (wonky terms, but stick with it for a...

Alameda Point: Matarrese still in support

May 28, 2009

Almost from the get-go, some folks have tried to claim it was untrue (I guess that I was making it up, despite linking to his statement), and then again at the end of last week, the ever-correct Jane Smythe claimed that Matarrese had changed his mind because his statement was no longer on the...

Group Specs

May 21, 2009

Yet another group has popped up around the Point, that makes 2. Honestly, do Action Alameda, SOC!A, Citizens for a Better Alameda, Keep Measure A Committee expect us not to realize that the contacts for these groups are all the same people? Heck, Gretchen Lipow is listed as a key person for three of...

Scoop! Attari vs. Alameda Lawsuit Settled

May 4, 2009

Well the suit has been settled. For $2.25 million. And, as reported by Michele at The Island, the amount is covered by the California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority, thus no drain on the Alameda’s general fund, and thus, no bankruptcy. (It really must get tiring being oh so wrong, oh so often).

Alameda Point: Save Our Future! Alameda

April 28, 2009

Apparently someone else watched the SOC!A video about Alameda Point and realized that all their photos showing open space at Alameda Point were in locations that SunCal’s Master Plan has slated for Open Space, making the point of the video a bit pointless (pun intended).

Alameda Point: Lies, Lies, Lies, Yeah?

April 21, 2009

It seems that there is a small group of people who are upset at the Alameda Point signature gatherers not standing on street corners yelling, "will you sign this initiative to put measure a for the whole city on the ballot thereby ruining our small-town community." It was surprising to hear who is acknowledging...
