Thank you, Morro Bay, for voting in the November 8, 2022 General Election. We’re seeing a paradigm shift in our community that was sorely needed. The voters have spoken to that. Congratulations to Carla Wixom, our next mayor. It’s been a long road for Carla, who spent decades selflessly giving back to the community as …
This week, registered voters received a text message from current Morro Bay Councilwoman and Assembly candidate Dawn Addis endorsing Mayor John Headding for re-election. Without evidence, Ms. Addis claimed that Democrats support Mayor Headding. Headding is not listed as an endorsement by the SLO County Democratic Party. So my question is: are these the same …

This week, I heard from several Morro Bay residents who expressed concern about censorship pertaining to discussions about our local elections.

One of my favorite quotes came from a fictional 19th century Irish bartender who went by the name of Mr. Dooley. Mr. Dooley happened to be a fictional character created by Chicago Evening Post journalist Finley Peter Dunne who, in 1893, introduced readers to the esteemed bartender in one of his newspaper columns. The quote …
After careful consideration, I’m encouraging Morro Bay residents to VOTE NO on Harbor Tax B-22. Over the past several years, Morro Bay voters have voted for measures that increase taxes on residents, small businesses and tourists for severely underfunded departments. These departments have undoubtedly provided crucial and necessary services for Morro Bay. There is no …
Morro Bay is a wonderful city, but the politics can get a little heated. In the 10+ years I’ve spent here, I’ve seen community leaders come and go.
