ELECTION 2005: Governor keeps S.B. visit quiet
10/12/05
NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Invitation-only meeting part of effort to boost four ballot initiatives
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is in Santa Barbara today for a Town Hall meeting -- except very few locals were actually invited, much less informed of the event.
...
The Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce confirmed receiving a somewhat cryptic phone call Monday afternoon, offering invitations for up to 10 members to attend the forum at an undisclosed location Wednesday morning. The Goleta and Carpinteria Valley Chambers of Commerce received similar announcements.
...
On Tuesday afternoon, none of the organizations would say specifically where or when the meeting would take place, only that they were to refer all inquiries to the governor's office.
Not until after 5 p.m. Tuesday did the governor's press office make a formal announcement of the meeting, billed as a "town hall," starting at 11:30 a.m. at MarBorg Industries headquarters on North Quarantina Street. The office did not specify if the governor would attend other events while in town.
......
So, Girly Man Schwarzenegger is afraid of the public...hence the stealth campaign to rustle up support for his initiatives.
If you can go....PLEASE do. I know it's short notice.
Union members from Santa Barbara IAFF (Fire Dept.) will be there.
