After enduring many long years of my husband's frustration with the Santa Cruz Planning Department and being recently really uplifted by Mark's imminently successful campaign to unseat Mardi Wormhoudt, I was completely mortified when I read the above article in the Sentinel on Election Day. How could a committee, unknown to Mark, kill his campaign in one day!! This one action collapsed a year of hard work, and money. But more importantly, we are stuck with four more years of Mardi in power and static government policies. Thanks a lot, you "out-of-towners" who have ruined it for us.
