Billboards for Mayor Shelia Young

At least two billboards on E. 14th Street thanking Mayor Shelia Young have appeared in the past few weeks. Mayor Young was elected to the City Council in 1996 to represent District 2. She served two years before she was elected Mayor in 1998 and served two consecutive terms as Mayor of San Leandro. She ran for the District 3 County Supervisor seat in the June 2006 election and lost by a narrow margin to incumbent Alice Lai-Bitker.

Update: Michael Colbruno, the Vice President for Governmental Affairs for Clear Channel Outdoor, was responsible for the billboards.
