Christmas cards and civic ties spark mixed signals in Alameda County
An Alameda County supervisor Tom Bates sends a Christmas card linking with his staff and union-backed allies amid a newsletter that reveals a donor dinner profits. San Leandro showcases a grand artful greeting from Adam Morgan that reached the White House but was halted by DoD cargo rules and fuel limits. The piece also notes a vivid lobby display at San Leandro city hall and a Raider fans versus Chiefs moment with a thankful letter from a Kansas City attorney. The column closes with a light on energy savings at Alcopark and Mario Polvorosa’s return to public life after a rise from shoeshine boy to city councilman.
