“Ruth Kesler was quoted in the paper that the District 5 election was fraudulent! Why doesn’t she call for an investigation of her campaign manager Rebecca McGovern? There have been articles in the paper about Ms. McGovern’s questionable activities as she sat at the election polling place as the precinct captain.
Wouldn’t you as a voter rather use the permanent absentee ballot to cast your vote so you would not have to face the precinct captain’s alleged advice of how to vote? Ruth – your silence is deafening! You better clean up your own hen house!”
“Let’s review the procedures of the Board of Supervisors. They hire the Sacramento lawyer, Nancy Miller, to do an investigation of John Hodges and his election office. They approve this action and fund her payment of $20,000. In closed session with their county counsel, Karen Forcum did not have the expertise to represent them on this election debacle, so here comes the expensive out-of-town Sacramento lawyer once again at county taxpayer expense. I wonder if Nancy Miller has decided to move down here or is she still commuting? I think the board has already paid her close to $100,000 between their defense of Los Valientes, Measure G and, now, elections.
Now stage 2. Poor John! He was stuck with Karen Forcum that the board so graciously offered him for his defense of the election office. Now remember, Karen was not capable enough to represent the board. Apparently, John thought so too, as here comes Dave Pipal and Frank Boreill, local lawyers with VAST experience to the rescue!
The point to all of this is the board spent $20,000 for their attorney and John spent nothing and got expert representation. Hoorah for John! Corrupt politics as usual has finally been made public, and the public is not going to stand for this! Doesn’t this show that the board had their own bias and agenda to keep Bob Cruz on the board and used taxpayer money to do it? Shame, shame on you, board!”
“After reading last week’s article about Sarsfield and his personal lawyer, the words ‘no accountability’ come to mind. Our out-of-town DA hires his own attorney and then uses his own attorney to prosecute a high-profile tax case with absolutely no experience whatsoever. Who is going to be responsible when this attorney screws up this case? We voted for our DA to do a job, so he should do that job, stop ‘passing the buck’ and get his rear off of his ‘office couch.'”
“Is the city interested in generating more tax revenue for Hollister or not? April 2003, Tim Lantz presented the council with a workable plan for restoration of the Pendergrass Building. Tim was to spend $500,000 of his own money to buy the building from the RDA, then negotiate a $1 million loan with the city for restoration to begin.
As council was set to complete the negotiations with Tim, Mr. Vault Velazquez became angry ’cause he wasn’t personally contacted by council on their decision-making process. Excuse me!
The problem: Tim had a tenant and business committed to occupying the first floor when the restoration was completed. The business would have presented Mr. Vault Velazquez with a problem, direct competition. Mr. Velazquez wants no part of competition, particularly by anyone capable of upstaging him. Velazquez is all about I, me, my, and greed. Since council allowed Velazquez to overturn their decision, all the Pendergrass Building is generating for the city is a tax bill!”
“Cowboy up, Cantu! What’s taking you so long to find out the identity of Sara Jones? You can’t prove or identify who Sara Jones is. Obviously, you don’t know how to legally maneuver through the Internet minefield.”
