ENDORSEMENT OF CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES Councilman Harrison, reporting that he has been asked by numerous people about his stand on the City Council race, read from a prepared statementas follows: "Harry Truman once said: "If you can't stand the heat,the kitchen." I certainly don't mi nd the heat, and during campaign, I find it difficult to keep quiet and stay out ofTherefore, I fee'l it incumbent that I make a statement relative to theCity Council campaign currently in progress. 0bviously, as anyone whohas consistently attended our City Council meetings can attest, thereare no voting blocs among the fi ve of us. Each of us has been on theshort end of a 4-l or 3-2 vote, as well as on the majority side, Eachof us consistently has done his homework, spoken his mind, and votedhis conscience. This is good for the City, this kind of independenceis i mperati ve for the mai ntenance of sound , responsi ble, and effectivegovernment, al I s i des bei ng ai red. Therefore , thi s endorsement wi come as, I'm sure, quite a surprise to my colleagues on the Counciand to other candi dates seeki ng a seat on the Counci I , especi ai Iyit is totally unsolicited, and, I'm sure, unexpected by the threecandidates, At this tine I'd like to go on record endorsing Mayor Irving Amstrup and Vice-Mayor Vic Mangini for re-election. l,ie have obviously had our di fferences and s poken them ln publ i c-and in publ i c is where we shal I, and shoul d con t i nue to air them. Both ofthese men have contri buted unselfishly outstandi ng servi ce to the ci ti zens of Burl i ngame and I'm sure when re-elected wi lI conti nue to doso. I am also endorsing the candidate who, in my humble estimation,has conducted the most positive campaign in every sense of the word, who answe red ques ti on s in a manner that is, not tohlly coi nci dentalwith what my answers wouid have been, but sincere and forthri Sh:L, ald stay a pol the out ofitical ki tchen, llI, since 50 is running, not against something or everything, but is running for a vacant seat that wil'l enable him to work harmoniously with the incum- bent Counci I . Surely, all the candi dates h ave been sincere and f orth- ri ght , but after eval uati ng a1 | thei r responses to questi ons posed and reading each bal'l ot statement, I find that Bob Fisse would do the best job for ALL the citizens of Burlingame, not iust the Downtown Merchants, or the Progress Association, or C0PE' or any other specialinterest, but rather Bob Fisse would be representative of the entire City of Bur'l ingame, and therefore I wish all three, Amstrup, Mangini and Fi sse success on March 2, 1976." 3.
