By George, Who Knew?
Jump to Comments
Sam George, one of our Corporation Commission candidates, made the rounds at the State Democratic Party meeting Saturday. I neglected to ask him if he was the same Sam George who started ten games for the New England Revolution in 1997 and scored one goal before being traded to the Tampa Bay Mutiny for Ivan McKinley (or was it Giuseppe Galderisi? Greg Lalas? It was hard to keep track.)
Yes, yes, I know it isn’t the same guy. Work with me here.

Since this is something of a silly post, I am going to post something of a silly response-Do you save up these posts over the course of a week and then release all at once like a child kinks a hose to have a stoppage of water and then releases it to cover whoever they are aiming the hose at with water?
This post is a paraphrase of a Mitch Hedberg comment.

Ha ha. The funny thing is that Sam George changed his name a few years back. The new “Sam George” is actually the old Sam Vagenas.
Why would he change his name, you ask?
Well this might have something to do with it:

Hmm,
Besides implications of dirty tricks, do we want somebody who wants to suck more water out of the Colorado, or someone who wants to work to preserve more of it - for everyone?
Does anybody know anything about his “book on American politics”?
I am not looking to knock this guy down, just trying to check him out before the Repubs get their fangs into him.

• Sam George
George, 44, is seeking his first term. He is president of Metro America, a political advocacy group, and co-author of a book on American politics. As Sam Vagenas, he was Arizona deputy secretary of state 1990-94, and worked on issues campaigns.
Top priorities: To increase the amount of water in the CAP canal by 100,000 to 200,000 acre-feet per year and to recharge or bank all water not claimed by contracts.
Quote: “We are facing an extended water crisis in the state. . . . If elected, I intend to help galvanize action for maximizing our take of Colorado River water for the purpose of banking and recharging it.”
