Challenges Ron Roberts to join him in this pledge

Stephen Whitburn announced today that he will accept no gifts as a County Supervisor if he is elected to replace current Supervisor Ron Roberts.

Whitburn seeks to end the practice repeated by various Supervisors, in which they accept valuable gifts or take expensive junkets subsidized by the organizations they have funded.

“The link to the current supervisors’ funding practices and the gifts they receive is very obvious,” he said.

Whitburn says the only way to ensure that conflicts do not exist is to accept no gifts. “There is a simple solution, if our supervisors are willing to give up these lucrative perks,” he says. “Just turn them down. I challenge my opponent to join me in this pledge.”
