Connect the dots, and you'll find the agenda, writer says The recent letter by Robinson (Courier, Aug. 23) prompted me to do some research on the internet. A Rich Robinson is a principal of the ERW Group, which has local offices in Los Gatos. Its clients include city governments for whom they advocate against initiatives and measures brought forth by citizens. Also among their listed current and former clients are developers, the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce and Don Burnett. Mayor Lowenthal is a member of the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce. Connecting the dots suggests that Mr. Robinson acts as a surrogate, hurling insults and unfounded claims at Cupertino citizens who have exercised their democratic right to referendum. Mr. Robinson appears to be motivated more by fees than altruism. When Cupertino residents go to the polls in November, remember that Measures D and E emerged from a grassroots effort of your fellow citizens who want to preserve our schools, our environment and the character of the city we love. Vote NO on Measures D and E. Robert GartenCupertino Courier LettersWednesday, September 6, 2006
