UPDATE: Mr. Manley says that the Board had nothing to do with his endorsement of Mr. Katz. No vote was held, and no members voiced complaints about his endorsement. Actually, his endorsement angered no one to his knowledge but Mr. KG Barnett, a BCR member.

Bret Manley, the Berkeley College Republican's President, is facing possible impeachment and definite complaints following an internal BCR battle over local election endorsements.

Mr. Manley has been a consistent supporter of Andy Katz in District 8 elections, mainly due to Greek issues. Mr. Katz is Greek, and is thought to be more sympathetic towards their position in the constant neighbors/Greeks battles. BCR in general, however, is much more sympathetic towards Katz's opponent, Gordon Wozniak, the Moderate candidate and generally more Centrist person. Mr. Wozniak has spoken to a BCR meeting. Mr. Wozniak is also supported by the Republican Chair for the Bay Area.

However, Mr. Manley has put his name to a Katz campaign mailer urging all District 8 Republicans to vote for Andy. This is despite BCR's Board unanimously asking Mr. Manley in advance not to put his name to the letter. Angered by his rejection of their request, the Board will be meeting on the matter within the week. Impeachment is possible but fairly unlikely.
