Longtime city council member and former Mayor Allen Settle has decided not to run for mayor this year.

Settle told the e-Insider today that he has decided not to run for mayor because his constituency is similar to Jan Marx’s and that if he ran, he could have become a spoiler in what likely would have been a three-way race that includes Paul Brown.

Settle is throwing his support to Marx. Except for a two-year break, Settle has been on the San Luis Obispo City Council for 30 years. He cannot run for council this year because of term limits.

Vallejo voters revoke binding arbitration PDF Print E-mail

Vallejo residents recently went to the polls and revoked the city’s binding arbitration out of its charter – 40 years after the city had become the first California city to let arbitrators settle pay and benefit disputes with its unionized work force.

The closely watched Measure A narrowly passed with about 51 percent of the vote despite heavy opposition from police and firefighter groups around the state, which reportedly outspent the measures’ backers 10-1. One county and 22 cities in California – including San Luis Obispo – still have binding arbitration.

Vallejo city officials had previously tried twice to remove binding arbitration from its books but it apparently took the city’s 2008 bankruptcy filing and public scrutiny of pay and benefits to change voters’ minds.
