Frank Damrell: Ready and Able to Serve Now

October 14, 2018 By Eric Caine 5 Comments

Stanislaus County’s Supervisors’ District 4 includes a large swath of the City of Modesto. It’s by far the most urban district in the entire county. It’s also the district most impacted by homelessness and crime. The incumbent supervisor, Dick Monteith, is by all accounts a good man, but no one thinks of him as pro-active. Now in his mid-eighties, Monteith has been a throwback to the supervisor of old, a […]

Keating and Berryhill No Shows at Forum

April 12, 2018 By Eric Caine 1 Comment

Apparently, Janice Keating and Tom Berryhill had good reasons for missing Wednesday night’s League of Women’s Voters forum for Stanislaus County Supervisors’ campaigns; Keating sent word she was observing her thirtieth wedding anniversary and Berryhill cited a conflict. That left Frank Damrell as the only District 4 candidate present for the sparsely attended question and answer session in Modesto City Council Chambers. If they view the video of the forum, […]
