Deane Foote - What Do You Think?

Deane Foote is a candidate for Riverside County 3rd District Supervisor, running against Jeff Stone.

He was on Menifee Valley Radio this evening talking about his candidacy. You can hear a replay of the show here...

What do you folks think about him?

I got the sense that he has very good intentions, but that he doesn't have a firm grasp of the issues in the 3rd District. When asked some tough questions, it sounded like he was looking for something to say, rather than knowing what to say.

The position of County Supervisor is really an administrative one, not like a city council position. The Supervisor needs to delegate work to his staff, be able to demand results, and exude a leadership persona. I didn't get the sense that Foote has these qualities. Some people are just born with the ability administrate, I just don't think that's Foote.

I'm not necessarily saying that's Stone either. I think Foote would find himself in over his head with problems and deadlines, and incapable of managing.

Also on the show, were city council candidates, Carol Sullivan, Scott Mann, Sue Kristjansson, and Tom Fuhrman.

Fuhrman mentioned something about an election night party at Wooden Nickel Ranch.
