InlandPolitics Commentary: S.B. County: Disclosure of DA investigative report and other materials required by law

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors is expected to take-up the matter of the Ramos investigation and report next week. It would be nice to be a fly on the wall for this meeting.

Case law not only requires the disclosure of the report, but also other documentation from the four-month-long, $140,000 inquiry.

The controlling legal case governing the release is BRV, Inc. v. Superior Court, 143 Cal. App. 4th 742.

The BRV case involved the release of an investigation report into the conduct of a school superintendent, who was eventually given a ’sweetheart severance deal”, which was a matter of public concern. A local newspaper filed a lawsuit to have the report and related materials released.

The Superior Court denied the request to release.

The California Court of Appeal reversed the Superior Court and ordered the release. The California Supreme Court denied review.

Not only does the BRV case require disclosure of the report with certain identifying information redacted, it also requires the release of other supporting information. Continue reading →

First, Mike is a poltroon.  He utilizes his paltry supply of testosterone to satisfy his overactive libido.  None is left to be a man in any other way.  He is emasculated.  He is not capable of going to battle because he believes in the righteousness of an issue.  To suggest he is attempting to “clean up corruption” is ludicrous, especially coming from one of the most corrupt district attorneys in the entire country.

Second, Mike and Jim were at least casual friends at one point and certainly political allies.  As president of the Safety Employees Benefit Association (SEBA), Jim helped Mike and his political friends in their campaigns for elected office.  A SEBA endorsement is substantial in this county and to potentially alienate such a powerful force could be political suicide.
