Other residents echoed his sentiment. Stephen Rosenbloom said he was shocked when he heard Cormack speak at the workshop in favor of voluntary agreements, given the council's officially adopted position. Her statement, he told the council on Jan. 11, should "disqualify her as a representative of the Palo Alto City Council on BAWSCA, since she refused to separate the official position of the City Council from her own beliefs."
David Warner, a resident who supports the Bay-Delta Plan, called Cormack's statement "a step backward" and said he was taken aback by her comments.
"Council member Cormack should either vigorously retract her statements verbally, in front of SFPUC, and reiterate Palo Alto's position or she should resign from the BAWSCA board," Warner said.
