Dairy #8 in an ongoing series of my experiences as a candidate for Mountain View, CA City Council
On January 3 this year, I filed the required paper work to announce my intent to become a City Council candidate in the City of Mountain View. A few weeks later, my company gave me the “outside business interest” (OBI) approval to campaign. This was good news. Unbeknownst to me, at that same time, they sent what looked like an innocuous letter to the City Attorney of Mountain View asking for assurances that if I were elected, they’d retain the right to do business with the City. For an explanation of what happened next, read my previous diary here. I’ll wait for you to catch up. Seriously, it’s an interesting read and has a cliffhanger ending. This diary is the resolution of that situation.
