Challenge the incumbents

I am delighted to see a serious challenge to Barry Groveman's efforts to be reelected to Calabasas City Council. I was an early supporter of Groveman, but was totally turned off by the draconian, anti-smoking ordinance he promoted, which in my opinion was of the sole purpose of garnering media attention to his ill-fated run for state office.

I do not trust him because I believe he continues to remain politically ambitious, and I fear if reelected he may be tempted to subordinate what is best for Calabasas if necessary to further his own political ambition. His challenger indicates he does not intend to use the City Council as a personal springboard to seek higher office, and I believe him.

Please vote March 6 for Toby Keeler.
