2008-02-18 22:27:34   I believe she's an alternate member of the BEDC Commission, not a full member. She also told people that she was independent when in fact she is backed by Saylor, Souza and Asmundson and the anti-student crowd. She was in the Enterprise on Friday having announced her candidacy. Except it was the Democrats Valentine's party. She gave a speech alright but she never told the group she was announcing. —JamesSchwab

2008-02-18 22:58:02   @JamesSchwab,

Does it matter that she is an alternate member of the BEDC? As long as she actually shows up at the meetings, she's definitely doing more than her fair share of civic duty. And if you do your homework, you'll notice when she was appointed to that position, she was voted for by Greenwald, Heystek, Souza, Saylor & Asmundson.

As for being backed by "the anti-student crowd"... can you please cite your sources? And are you also implying that Saylor, Souza, and Asmundson are "anti-student". If so, that is a completely baseless accusation.

It is comments like these that perpetuate our often acrimonious and uncivil community dialogue about public policy. —KemblePope

2008-05-01 01:07:40   hrmmn, As a 21 year old Davisite, I think my vote better goes to RobRoy, Cecilia, and Sue... Who manages her campaign? Why can't I shake the feeling that big money is somewhere somehow? —StevenDaubert

SarahP appears to be a sockpuppet for aeggert:

2008-05-04 22:20:26   Syd is a way better candidate for students- she just graduated from UCD '04, promotes biking, is a renter like most students, is interested in creating job opportunities for new graduates, and has a student campaign manager. And big money? can you cite your source? last time I checked, campaign contributions were capped at $100. —SarahP

"Syd is a way better candidate for students"


• Her endorsements say otherwise
  

  "she just graduated from UCD '04"
  

• Meaningless ... 4 years is a lot ... and there are a lot of vindictive bitter people
  

  "promotes biking"
  

• Generating city funds from citing thereof, true
  

• Bike Chuch, false
  

• Critical mass, don't think so
  

• long term parking, false
  

• It really looks like she will be boxing in, with excruciatingly stringent standards, any new bicycle development. Effectively, this would make more people opt out entirely.
  

  "a renter like most students"
  

• If she owned a house in this town at her age, she'd be pretty scary.
  

  "is interested in creating job opportunities for new graduates"
  

• Well duh. Really, is someone uninterested in this? Really.
  

  "has a student campaign manager"
  

• Who else has that kind of time?
  

  "And big money? can you cite your source?"
  

• You need to wait a bit.
  

  "last time I checked, campaign contributions were capped at $100"
  

• Yes, but you could say, hold a fund raiser where you organize and cater it for free, at a fee. People sometimes call this soft money ... do with it what you will. —ChristopherMckenzie

Nice try,

Rob Roy and Lamar Heystek are recent graduates of UCD who will cater better to the students, as far as big money, just look at the signs: enterprise, DPF / DPOA endorsements, there is an Asmundson name on her mailer as the treasurer of friends for vergis above, corbett who is a developer, puntillo who is pro developer, etc. Remember there is no cabal of developers trying to split the female & student vote! Vergis appears overqualified for being out of school only 4 years... How is being a land use planner in sac a city with 500,000 and 2 million around it relevant to a small 60,000 person town? —StevenDaubert

2008-06-02 18:39:11   aeggert, aka Anthony Eggert (simply google areggert from one of the above email addresses), has the same IP address as SarahP. Now, I don't know what Anthony's official involvement with the campaign is, other than as an active supporter and someone who commonly edits this webpage, but to use the SarahP identity as a throwaway sockpuppet is quite shady.

I'm sure that aeggert/SarahP know what bundling is, where you combine multiple $100 contributions, especially from people outside of Davis or those you've never even heard of. —MaxMikalonis

2008-06-07 01:15:12   To continue the sockpuppeting suspiscions, it appears like aeggert and terah have very similar IPs. If you lok @ aeggert's first edits, they come from 68.125.111.222, and terah's edits are from 68.125.98.87. Which, quite easily, could be a business ip address, and so aeggert/terah are now trying to erase this information while at work. If 68.125.XXX.XXX were to be the blocks the business has, it would be possible to have two similar IPs over the course of several months.

Of course, it would very convenient for Vergis for this info to disappear, especially if she is considering a second run come 2010. But, once a public figure on Daviswiki, always a public figure. —MaxMikalonis

• They are both Pacbell DSL IPs for "scrm01", likely the Sacramento region.
