The mailer touts Glover’s “ability” to “deliver,” whatever that means; maybe it’s some sort of “pork barrel politics” for County Supervisors? Anyways the mailer touts teeachers backing Glover, not Agopian, who is a Antioch School Board member.

Agopian’s campaign asked, “One has to wonder why the big oil companies are spending close to four-hundred thousand dollars to elect their candidate. What are they expecting in return?

“The Glover campaign with the latest hit piece has stepped right in the middle of negotiations for teachers’ salaries and work related issues in Antioch. We worked for four years and made the tough choices to balance our budget and protect our children’s future. Now we have to contend with Supervisor Glover getting in the middle of this non-county issue and linking up with those who have their own agenda. It is deplorable.

“We don’t have the money that Glover has and can’t respond to his hit pieces, but he should be ashamed of himself. Things are difficult enough without him trying to make it a political issue.”

According to Agopian, “all of the people mentioned in Glover’s hit piece are members of the teachers’ negotiating team or on the executive board of the bargaining unit and do not reflect the opinion of over 900 other teachers regarding Gary Agopian.”
