Democratic candidate, 4th Supervisorial District
April 14, 2010 (San Diego)--A teacher for 24 years in the San Diego area, at 75 years of age Moody placed her name on the ballot because she feared Supervisor Ron Roberts would run unopposed after Assemblywoman Lori Saldana announced she was pulling out of the race due to a death in her family and Councilwoman Donna Frye also opted not to run. She now is urging voters to support any of the other three candidates in the race.

“Ron Roberts has been in there for 20 years or so and I just feel that it’s time for someone else,” she says. Moody is critical of Supervisors for setting up “slush funds” with discretionary spending in each district under control of individual Supervisors.

“I would rather get rid of this slush fund that all of the Supervisors have and donate the entire $10 million to really do a bang-up job with the poverty program,” she said, adding that Supervisors have failed to address needs of the poor in our region. [Editor’s note: The Board recently voted to reduce this fund to $5 million, or $1 million for each Supervisorial district.]
