The Contra Costa Times, which earlier this month lumped their no on Measure Q opinion in a "no on everything" editorial assessing all the city sponsored measures, has endorsed three candidates for Concord City Council that support Measure Q.
The editorial supporting Laura Hoffmeister, Bob Hoag and Carlyn Obringer can be found here.
To be fair to the Times they had little ability to be consistent because most, if not all of the candidates support Measure Q. The candidates understand the need for a temporary sales tax increase and the consequences to the City's budget and service levels should it fail.
Too bad the Contra Costa Times didn't bother to even consult with sitting Council members about the Measure prior to their misguided recommendation. The editorial board would have seen that lumping all city revenue proposal together and making a blanket recommendation against them was unfair and short sighted.
