Recently, with the District 5 seat in question, the Copper Gazette approached the Calaveras Taxpayers Association and asked if support for a candidate or the recall effort was forthcoming from their association. Their response was:
“We are issue oriented supporting honesty, transparency and limited - constitutional government. We try to be respectful to all our elected leaders and candidates.
In the case of recall, CCTA would favor this if there was evidence of wrong doing or fraud. In the case of the current recall effort, we are neutral as we see no evidence of laws broken and encourage maximum public communication between the sides. Our members have varied opinions on this subject.
David Tunno has done extensive work exposing the FEMA and CalPERS problems in our county and CCTA has helped promote his work in those efforts. Although he is not part of CCTA leadership, we frequently agree with positions he has expressed before the Board of Supervisors. CCTA has been appreciative of several positions Darren Spellman have expressed in support of the constitution, property rights and limited government.
If the CCTA President or officers announced who they favored, we would tend to lose our status as a non-political citizen advocacy group. If we are successful in our educational efforts on issues, the public will be better informed and may tend to support the best candidate supporting those issues.”
