  1. Pellecchia could not even muster the effort to show up in person. Pretty weak. Now that the pandemic is winding down the time has come to not allow zoom meetings. Show up in person or keep your mouth shut.

    • He was away at a business function that was booked well before the forum. It was disclosed at the beginning of the debate with he and Hardy.

  2. Great candidate forum tonight.
    Becker chahal and Hardy didn’t
    Disappoint!

    Becker couldn’t follow rules and
    Kept attacking Gillmor. Told 2x
    By moderator to STOP with attacks.

    Chahal invented pants. Anyone
    Who remembers 2000 Snickers
    Commercial with Bush and Gore
    Will understand.

    Hardy? Where do you start?
    Karen was a Karen. Lived up
    To her name.

    Like I said…They didn’t disappoint.

  3. There are now THREE ACTIVE FPPC investigations involving 49ers and Becker. Suds Jain named witness in 2.

    • From League of Women Voters website for tonight:

      If you cannot attend this event in person, it will be live-streamed on
      Facebook and YouTube.

      This forum will also be recorded.

  4. Becke
    Why are ads in your name accusing Lisa Gillmor of going to Paris?

    Why is Jed York not explaining his patronage of Jeff Denham, Trump Congressman in 2016?

    Why did Mario Bouza give you a check after being appointed to Planning?

    Why do you hate residents?

  5. CAN’T WAIT to see Becker lose control. It really doesn’t take much to get him fuming. Let’s see if he’ll spout profanity and flip colleagues off again…get the popcorn is right! #WeseeyouLaLa

  6. It will be great to see Becker’s giant head debating. He’s really starting to look like a villain in a Bond movie. Pure evil.

  7. Who is going to lose their temper first? Bicker or his rage-filled partner? You know, the one that calls in to Council meetings without disclosing his relationship…Or who harasses people online under fake profiles….
    Such tempers.

  8. Yay. Let me get my popcorn ready. It’s going to be a long night, but few things are more entertaining than Becker exposing himself for the incoherent idiot he really is.
