Tracy Press

Tracy's county supervisor corrects an error in a recent story.

Concerning the article about the Gateway project (“Council OKs delays in Gateway project,” Wednesday), I would like to correct a misconception and inaccuracy contained in the article. It should be noted that neither former Congressman Richard Pombo nor myself are or ever have been partners with the Gateway organization, as incorrectly stated in the article.

Neither Pombo nor his immediate family have any ownership of the land for the proposed project nor a business association with its promoters. It is Richard Pombo’s cousins (the family of the late Ernie Pombo) who own and control the majority of the land where the project hopes to one day build.

My only connection to Gateway is that my mother, brother and I own a portion of land in the middle of where the project hopes to one day locate.

— San Joaquin County Supervisor Leroy Ornellas, Tracy

Wonder if the banana will have a comment? Haven't heard from him since Tom Benigno decided to run against you Larry. I wonder why that is???

Hmmm. Something fruity going on there?



Good luck to you Larry. Also, I saw the sign on Tom's property and then began to wonder if all those old tractors and trucks are leaking oil into the soil over there. I hope Tom plans to treat San Joaquin better than that.



Hope you can use that one Larry! Good luck to you!

Hey Tom, you took the *BIG* sign down on your property? What happened Tom? I was going to vote for the guy with the biggest sign. Now, I will have to vote for Larry!

Now, I know that wasn't Tom. And because he is running for public office, he is prohibited from posting that type of post. If it were Tom, someone would turn him into the FPP for that. Right mr. banana? Where's Peter Parker when you need him? We need pictures of Spider "tom" Man! That mr. banana seems to know a lot about everything. Maybe he can tell us where Tom has been lately.


Actually, I really don't think Tom would stoop that low. Right Tom? But, I would say it looks suspiciously like someone who doesn't want Larry to win.

Don't say I didn't give you anything Tom!


Good luck guys! May the best man win!

Leroy Ornellas to most folks, I guess! I just like to call him Larry!

I like Larry better! Don't you too?





I like mr. banana better too. Don't you?

Can I call yo mr. banana?






Ok, I'm done picking on you guys. This blog should be closed. Too tempting.

Like I said. Good luck!
