Summary of Jeff's November 2010 recommendations

[Jeff Hobson]

Fellow voters,

I've finally gotten through as many election endorsements as I'm going to do this year. I've now posted recommendations for a bunch of elected officials and ballot measures in the East Bay, in addition to the state propositions & officials from last week. Check out the details on my election blog at http://caelections.blogspot.com -- and let me (and other readers) know what you think.

Below I've pasted my summary, with clickable links to the writeups on each segment of the ballot.

Please feel free to forward this to people you think would be interested. Encourage them to sign up for this email list (http://caelections.blogspot.com, upper left corner) to get recommendations directly. And I'm also open to any suggestions about how to make the blog and email list easier to use.

Thanks for your interest,
Jeff
