The Burbank Follower, Vol. 2, No. 16

ELECTION COVERAGE
Not too many surprises here: Gary Bric and Anja Reinke received the most votes in the City Council primary, with Phil and Carolyn Berlin rounding out the top four. Whit Prouty came in fifth, Vahn Hovenessian sixth, and Margaret Sorthun (who apparently did nothing outside of putting her name on the ballot) came in last. Daily News. Leader.

ICH BIN EIN BERLINER
The Daily News does a nice piece on the Berlins and the upcoming general election. Bric, according to the DN, claims he has no knowledge of Working Californians, the independent political action committee that has spent $13,022 in support of his campaign. Sure. I suppose I wouldn't be the least bit curious about a political mailer with my face on it. Daily News.

To the writer of this BLOG:
I would like to clarify and point out how inept a so called journalist can be. In response to your comment "Margaret Sorthun (who apparently did nothing outside of putting her name on the ballot)"... If you were ANY GOOD at what you do, you would of found out the facts before you falsely accuse someone one of not doing good. Let's set the record straight about Margaret Sorthun and her wanting to run for City Council. NO Margaret did not want to ONLY have her name on the ballot, she was driven and would of done everything she could to win that election! Unfortunately she came down with Pneumonia on Feb. 5, 2007 was hospitalized and on March 8, 2007 she lost her battle. Had she been well I guarantee you that she would of given everyone running a run for their money.
If you have anything else to say you can email me at msorthun@yahoo.com and I will be glad to further educate you on how driven, honest and smart my mother was. Thank you, Linda Sorthun-Kiernan
