Four set sights for mayor
The filing period for November's mayoral election has closed. The four candidates hoping to lead this city now that Mayor Don Kurth is stepping down are: Councilman Dennis Michael, military veteran Bill Hanlon, business owner Marc Steinorth and businessman Robert Ledbetter.
Kurth's decision to not run extended the filing period to today.
"I've never planned to do this as a career," said Kurth, who is endorsing Michael. "I need to spend some time with my family. At least for right now, that's where my priorities need to be. If times change and I can help the city some time in the future or get involved at another level, then I'll make that decision at that time. I've got to spend some time with (my daughter) Daisy Grace."
Fourteen people, including two incumbents, are running for three seats this year.

Wendy,
do You know if Chamber of commers are gonna lead a debate/interview with the candidates on TV.
Every year, the Chamber and Alta Loma Riding Club hold debates with the candidates. I don't know when they are yet. There is talk of one being organized by one of the seniors at the senior center, too.

Why did he then run for the assembly?
Maybe for power?
Oh Grasshopper...I mean Mariann, you are so right. The assembly is a "cush" job with a lot of money for salary and staff and you only have to travel from Ontario/LA to Sacramento. Not to say it isn't an 'impotent' job but you read right between the lines
Thank You Wendy for info on the debates.
