THUMBS DOWN: For San Benito County, which has failed to make the full investigative report into District Attorney John Sarsfield's office public. The Free Lance and area lawyers have asked for the document several times only to be denied. A brief of the report leaked to the Free Lance reveals serious problems with how the prosecutor, a publicly-elected official, manages his office. It says he retaliated against his own employees for political purposes and was openly contemptuous of women in the office. The public has the right to know the full details. And California Newspaper Publisher Association lawyer Jim Ewert says it's a violation of the California Public Records Act for the county to keep the report hushed up. The county should do the right thing and let the full report see the light of day.
