Not another “healing” group! At least that’s what they claim to be. Razor Online took a closer look to see who’s “healing” who.
This year, Taxpayers Watch ReCreate Los Osos made its debut during this year’s Oktoberfest. RCLO is the newest in a long line of local non-profits in Los Osos that have aimed to “heal the rifts in the community” that have been caused by the wastewater project controversy.

 Now playing at LOCSD funhouse
CORRECTION (11:47 PM): Marshall Ochylski spoke to Razor Online and has denied that Wright is his insurance agent, and has also denied that Wright is campaign manager. Proper corrections have been made to make the article as accurate as possible.
On July 7 Michael Wright was appointed to the Los Osos Community Services District board, assuming a seat that was vacated by former Vice President Maria Kelly, who recently resigned under pressure. Board President Marshall Ochylski, the leading supporter for Wright, openly admitted to reaching out to Wright and convincing him to submit an application for the position. Later it was rumored that not only is Wright the board president’s insurance agent, he was also his campaign manager during his most recent bid for the District 2 seat on the SLO County Board of Supervisors. Ochylski has denied the rumors.

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:

Last Sunday, The Tribune endorsed Bruce Gibson for supervisor, the incumbent for San Luis Obispo County’s 2nd District. Though it’s not surprising that Gibson was endorsed by a newspaper that has Gibson on their speed dial, the timeliness of the endorsement was.
Both LOCSD President Marshall Ochylski and Gibson have yet to square off in a debate. Neither candidate has made an effort to detail their positions enough for voters to compare and look for differences. Neither candidate has unveiled their campaign strategies. By endorsing Gibson so early in the campaign, The Tribune has shown their readers and subscribers unprecedented bias as they value loyalty over competency.

This week, Los Osos Community Services District President Marshall Ochylski announced that he was running for San Luis Obispo County 2nd District, which is currently being represented by Bruce Gibson. Not even serving half of his first term as LOCSD board member, Ochylski decided that he had enough political capital to run against the incumbent representative. After former Alaska governor Sarah Palin left her post on July 26 last year, early estimated costs of her resignation were in the ballpark of $40,000 and Alaskan taxpayers picked up the tab. The district would have to pay at least $30,000 to hold a special election — and that cost would be incurred while the district continues to resolve its bankruptcy, that is if Ochylski were to win both the June 8, 2010 primary election and the November 2, 2010 consolidated general election against Gibson.
