Clive Finchamp on his Candidacy for CCSD

• Share

I’m Clive Finchamp and I’d like your vote for the CCSD Board.  Why do I want you’re consideration? Well, I think that I am qualified for a directorship on the CCSD because I am a progressive who is a cross between Jack Lemmon and Charlie Chaplin.  I like to think that I don’t take life very seriously, but mostly whimsically and in a carefree manner. After all we all know how life turns out, don’t we.

I want you to know that I do favor doing preventive maintenance on our aging water system, but I continue to oppose the rate increases and any attempt to build a desalination plant of any kind in Cambria. As a part of a family living on a fixed income, with all of those attendant problems, I will make every effort to carefully examine and pare down proposals that involves spending the ratepayer’s money. On matters that involve spending the publics’ money I am quite conservative though my politics is on the left side of the political spectrum.

I am a college graduate with a degree in political science with an emphasis on teaching; a job that I did for a few years.  I worked for many years as a hospital administrator and later and happily for many more years as a certified licensed property appraiser. The job I had as a property appraiser should be helpful as a director of the CCSD because of the many issues the CCSD faces regarding property.

Let me add that I worked at Cambria’s elementary and high schools for a number of years and I can say categorically that we have the best public schools in the United States.

Finally, I loved my mother’s apple pie and I never kicked my dog and at night I still massage my wife’s head to help her sleep though the evening.  So please vote for me.
