Measure B: Still Open for Businessby Erin Sherbert on Apr 02, 2009There’s been talk that BART campaign leaders are still asking around for donors to their campaign, which came and went in November. It’s true that the “Yes on Measure B” campaign still owes a $30,000 “victory bonus” to the campaign consultants, TBWB Strategies. That’s on top of the whopping $450,000 the consultant was paid during the campaign. But it’s not a bill that can’t be covered, says Carl Guardino, CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group and BART campaign leader. He brushes off any speculation that the campaign is hitting up new donors to help pay the consultant bonus. Rather, Guardino says, he’s trying to collect the handful of pledges that were made during the campaign to help out with this pending bonus bill. “Collecting is never easy,” Guardino says. “The good news is that people are almost always true to their word when they give us their commitment.” by Erin Sherbert on Apr 02, 2009 |
