I see the banner on top of the screen for Jim Maresca for County Supervisor. Does this mean that WACCObb endorses him, or is this a paid advertisement? I was on the RR Chamber Board when he was the E.D., and we didn't renew his contract for good reason. He is the last person I'd want in any position representing the community. If anyone wants specifics, they can contact me directly.

The banner for Jim Maresca is a paid advertisement and I appreciate Jim's sponsorship support.
I and WaccoBB.net have not taken a position on this race yet. Once we have more time to get to know the candidates perhaps we'll have a straw vote and an endorsement.

I agree with Biz, although our reasons may be different. I had a couple of dealings with Jim Maresca while he was on the Chamber and he is the last person I'd want representing the community. I found him to have his own agendas and be completely unresponsive to the community and its needs. Should you disagree with him you're met with a very self righteous attitude, told how wrong you are and have absolutely no doubt he thinks you're stupid. He is a large part of the reason I never renewed my Chamber membership. Biz would know more specifics than I would. I've heard a lot of rumors, but won't quote anything that is hear-say. Do contact Biz for the specifics, we cannot afford to have this man as County Supervisor.
