Self-proclaimed Los Osos sewer expert Gail McPherson has thrown her hat into the political arena by endorsing Los Osos Community Services District President Marshall Ochylski for District 2 Supervisor over incumbent Bruce Gibson. In an e-mail sent on Memorial Day, McPherson urged residents to pass her message to “District 3″ voters (rather than Ochylski’s District 2) who care about Los Osos. “I’m coming after you, Adam Hill!” Here is the e-mail in its entirety with commentary below: This is the first Razor Online guest column.

I’ve personally asked the founders of this volunteer organization to set up a fund for residents who would be unable to afford the upcoming sewer. There was no response. However, there was a response by founder Pandora Nash-Karner, which included public relations-inspired expressions like “spirit of volunteerism” and lines like, “Volunteering is the most fundamental act of citizenship and philanthropy in our society.”  34 comments  Los Osos  Alon Perlman, Bill Garfinkel, Bob Semenson, Celebrate Los Osos, community service, Jerry Gregory, Joyce Albright, Leon Van Beurden, LOCSD, Los Osos Community Services District, Los Osos wastewater project, Lou Tornatzky, Lynette Tornatzky, Maria Kelly, Pandora Nash-Karner, Peter Starlings, Sharon Fredericks The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved their staff’s recommendations for the Los Osos wastewater project last Tuesday.
