iePolitics: Board Holidays and Meetings

Posted on by Administrator

As previously reported, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors (BOS) is only meeting this year 27 out of 52 weeks, which proves we could do just fine with a part-time Board of Supervisors.  Besides for the usual 12 “dark” weeks due to regular holidays, the BOS has found an additional 13 holidays to celebrate to justify their additional “darkness.”

Next Tuesday is “Do a Grouch a Favor Day,” which is an appropriate reason to be dark.  Unfortunately, San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael Ramos has gotten in the way with his corruption scandal implicating two of five sitting board members.  Fifth District Supervisor Josie Gonzales has called for an emergency closed session meeting on Tuesday in an email that read:

Due to the shocking new allegations of a far-reaching criminal conspiracy contained in the Postmus-Erwin complaint released today, I ask that an emergency closed session meeting of the Board of Supervisors be scheduled.  The members of the board must be apprised of our legal options and give direction expeditiously.

Ya know, next time Moonbeam is in town, Josie needs to join him and Ramos on the podium.  They would make a great three-some.

Of course, the Board of Supervisors didn’t listen to iePolitics and get rid of County Counsel Ruth Stringer when they had the chance.  Now they have to get their legal advice from her.  They might all just as well attend dressed in orange jumpsuits.

iePolitics: The Governor’s Race

Months ago some Republican operatives were quietly admitting defeat in the Governor’s race no matter which of the then-three candidates won the Republican nomination.  I didn’t like that defeatest attitude but have slowly resigned myself to the possibility of having Moonbeam as our governor again.  It could be worse as the Governator has proven so I wasn’t too worried.

Now that we have seen Moonbeam in action right here in our own little county, we should all be grateful that Republican hopeful Meg Whitman is starting to grow on voters.  Meg is not the best of orators, but once she receives the nomination, she REALLY needs to debate Moonbeam. Continue reading →

Dear Friend:

Anthem Blue Cross of California insures more than 800,000 Californians in the individual market, and it has announced that those policy holders would see rate increases of up to 39 percent, effective March 1.

Like most Californians, I am shocked and outraged over these steep rate hikes. That is why I recently wrote to California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown, Jr., urging him to investigate Anthem’s proposed rate increases. I want to share the text of this letter with you: Continue reading →

iePolitics: Where is the other arrest?

Since we now all know that former San Bernardino Assistant Assessor and proverbial yellow Canary Adam Aleman’s word can be taken as gospel truth, why wasn’t former California Senator Jim Brulte arrested also?  He wasn’t even named as a John Doe. (Nothing personal Jim!  However, Erwin has had no luck getting the number for the off-shore account from Aleman so maybe you can give it a try.)

Aleman told investigators that both Jim Brulte and Jim Erwin received one percent of the Colonies Settlement as a kickback, which equates to $1.o2 million each.

It seems we have different standards of proof and believability depending on whether one is friend or foe of San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos.

iePolitics: Yet Another Opponent for Supervisor Paul Biane

Sacramento-based sources claim that Senator Robert Dutton (R-31) will throw his hat into the ring to unseat embattled San Bernardino County Second District Supervisor Paul Biane.  Three others, Upland Mayor John “JP” Pomierski, KCAA radio host Peter “Scott” Markovich, and publisher of The Alpenphorn News, Dennis Labadie, have all expressed interest in the seat, with the latter two having already declared their candidacies.

Biane was implicated this week as John Doe 5 in a criminal complaint alleging conspiracy and bribery when San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos filed charges against former Assessor and Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Postmus and former Assistant Assessor and Third District Chief of Staff Jim Erwin. This, combined with other on-going legal issues, opens the door for a likely successful unseating of Biane. Continue reading →

Information is surfacing about the possible cover up of several deaths at Havasu Lake by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors.  iePolitics is investigating further but we have been told that at a rave during the Labor Day weekend in 2001 at least five deaths occurred.  We are also told that this band of Chemehuevi Indians are campaign contributors to one or more members of our Board of Supervisors.  Here is a link to a short magazine article:  Havasu Homepage

From what I am told, these are only a few of the deaths that have occurred over a period of years.  If anyone has additional information, please email us at info@iepolitics.com

InlandPolitics: Is dirty politics behind District Attorney actions? – Part 2

In this article we will take a close look at the destroy-at-all-cost targeting of San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos and his Orange County-based political consultant David Ellis, owner of Delta Partners, LLC.

One thing is for certain. It’s becoming increasingly obvious Ramos’ agenda in his falsely-proclaimed never-ending quest to rid San Bernardino County of political corruption, and it definitely isn’t about fighting crime.

That agenda being, neutralize the county’s west-end political power base.

In our last article we discussed the Ramos/Ellis back-stabbing of two politicos. The two being Deputy District Attorney and former Ontario City Councilman Jason Anderson, a now former friend and client of Ellis and perceived threat to Ramos, and Patrick O’Reilly, CEO of Riverside-based O’Reilly Public Relations, and now former friend of Ellis.
