iePolitics: You know Adam, that is so true!

Adam,

Adam:

You could still save yourself if you actually told the truth to someone with a FEDERAL badge. If, as Sharon says, you were coerced and threatened, it would be Ramos and Moonbeam who would be facing RICO charges.

I hear from mutual friends that you are starting to get scared, and scared you should be.  I know I could pass a polygraph if I had to over what I’ve reported as you having said to me and I also know I’m not the only one you’ve said it to.

As angry as I am for what your lies have done to people I know and care about, I have always felt sorry for you, but mostly for your parents.  You have put your family through hell. Continue reading

iePolitics: Larry Walkers 460′s

For those who are interested, here are San Bernardino County Auditor/Controller-Treasurer/Tax Collector Larry Walker’s Form 460s showing his campaign contributors and his expenditures.

Walker Larry (Auditor Controller-Recorder 2010)-460-July312008 The most interest thing on this one is that Larry spend almost a third of his cash on hand to “reimburse for Angel’s baseball.”  What the heck does that mean?  They are calling it “office expenses.”  I know how it looks.

Walker Larry (Auditor Controller-Recorder 2010)-460-Feb182009
Well he filed this one late and blamed it on his treasurer.  Seems like a lot of his contributions comes from unions and $3000 from Lewis Co.  He also spends a lot of money of flowers.  I wonder who got the flowers?  Inquiring minds want to know. Continue reading

InlandPolitics: Supervisor Josie Gonzales stays true to form

The term “idiot” and San Bernardino County Supervisor Josie Gonzales remain synonymous.

San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos and Attorney General Jerry Brown made sensational corruption allegations last week as an intro to their respective election campaigns.

Allegations that must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Continue reading

iePolitics: Getting Nervous

We hear our favorite Yellow Singing Canary is getting a wee bit nervous.  Seems he is calling his old friends to get someone, anyone, to back him on his trail of deceit.  From what iePolitics hears so far, his “friends” don’t want to spend time as roomies with him and Bubba so they are politely declining.  I bet in the end, Mr. Aleman is the only one of the  currently accused who does jail time, “currently” being the key word.

We are hearing more charges are quite possible, just not of those District Attorney Mike Ramos is currently looking at.  We will post more info as it becomes available.

iePolitics: Sheriff’s Training Fraud–Where is Mikey?

I received the following email a little while ago:

Can you tell me what ever has happened to the case involving over 20 Deputies getting college credits when they did not attend the classes. It seems to just have gone away. This is serious because of the lying these people did and the amount of money they have taken from the County.

I asked our resident expert, AntiCorruptionUnit, as he is the one who broke this story, and here is his response:

Yes the case died a quiet death thanks to Sheriff Hoops.  Captain Bart Gray is now retired.  His wife was demoted from her position in the training division and sent back to the jail.

Just another cover up by the Sheriff’s Department. No prosecution if forthcoming in this matter.

So where is our crime-fighting District Attorney?  Oh yeah, political opps with Moonbeam.

George Runner: State Board of Equalization

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 16, 2010

Contact: Matt Rexroad
916-648-1222

Claims by Nakanishi Campaign on Slates are FalseSacramento – Senator/Taxpayer Advocate George Runner announced today that he has secured more slate purchases than any other candidate despite false claims by the Alan Nakanishi campaign in the race for Board of Equalization.

A recent announcement from the Alan Nakanishi for Board of Equalization campaign claims he has secured, “…three times more GOP slate cards than his nearest opponent, including such popular slate cards as the California Voter Guide, California Law Enforcement Voter Guide, Republican Taxpayers Association, Continuing the Republican Revolution, and nearly a dozen others.”

The claim that Nakanishi has secured more slates than Runner is simply not true.

The slates secured by Nakanishi total about five million pieces of slate mail. The Runner campaign has secured more than five million pieces of slate mail from Citizens for Good Government, COPS Voter Guide (earned), Family Faith & Freedom Association, PORAC Official Law Enforcement Guide (earned), Save Prop 13 by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (earned), Voter Guide Slate Mail, Small Business Action Committee, California Taxpayer Protection Committee, California Economic Reform Project, and the Republican Voter Checklist among others.

If Nakanishi has three times more slates than any other opponent, then he should be able to demonstrate over 40 slates. He clearly can’t do that.

“I would ask Dr. Nakanishi to either substantiate the claim his campaign has made repeatedly regarding slates or discontinue spreading false information,” said Runner.

George Runner currently represents a large southern portion of BOE District 2 in the State Senate. He authored the successful Amber Alert system and Jessicaʼs Law in 2006. He resides in Lancaster with his wife, former Assemblywoman Sharon Runner.

iePolitics: Board Decides Not to Sue Itself

In an extraordinarily surprising move, it appears that the four remaining members of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors were not affected by the emotional, pious pleadings of Josie “I wish I had a brain” Gonzales and rejected her ideas about investigating and suing themselves.  They claim it is “Premature.”

Hmm . . . they didn’t think that a year ago when they sued those involved in the corruption scandal before there was one ounce of proof of wrongdoing.  Here we are a year later and there is still no proof—not a single conviction.  So what’s the difference? Continue reading

iePolitics: Talking about Liars and Connivers

I received an email the other day that asked some questions about Supervisor Neil Derry in reference to a building about to be leased by the county.  If the sender of this email will send me their email address, I will forward Supervisor Derry’s response.  In trying to keep the email address confidential I even deleted it from my files.

iePolitics: Email the Board of Supervisors

It seems the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors needs some help doing the right thing.  They need YOUR help.

The Board of Supervisors has been covering for District Attorney Mike Ramos for months because they are TERRIFIED of being charged and arrested for issues relating to the Colonies settlement, Fair Political Practices Commission violations, and other items.  No matter how one feels about the Colonies settlement, it is clear that we have a District Attorney who has lied to the public and abused his office in other areas not directly related to the current corruption scandal.

The Board of Supervisors can and should waive the right to confidentiality and release all information in connection with Ramos’ misdeeds.  The public has the right to know in order to make an informed decision at election time.  To put this in perspective, how many of you who voted for Bill Postmus for Assessor would have done so if you had known he had been two rehab twice during his stint on the Board of Supervisors?  Well, it’s no different with Ramos.  Mike has an addiction too.  And he has lied to the pubic as well.  It’s time the board come clean on Mike Ramos.

Here is how to do it.  Click on www.gmail.com.  On the right-hand side, click on “Create an Account” and go through the process of setting up a new email account.  It only takes a few minutes.  Once it is set up, sign into it and hit the “compose” button in the top left-hand corner.

Copy and paste the following email addresses into the “To” section.

bmitzelfelt@sbcounty.gov, pbiane@sbcounty.gov, nderry@sbcounty.gov, govitt@sbcounty.gov, jgonzales@sbcounty.gov

In the “Subject” line insert:  “Release the Background Information on Mike Ramos”

In the body, insert:  “Please release all information from closed session in regards to the Mike Ramos sexual harassment investigation.  You have the right to waive confidentiality and we have the right to know.”

Note:  Of course I’m recommending the use of a Gmail account because they are anonymous.  I recommend remaining anonymous.  However, for those with a lot of backbone, by all means use your regular email.  FYI, the addresses I provided go directly to the supervisors’ Blackberrys, so be respectful.

iePolitics: Ed Montgomery Declares Candidacy for Superior Court Judge

Edmund Montgomery, a family law attorney in San Bernardino, has declared his candidacy for a seat on the Superior Court bench.  Montgomery is hoping to replace The Honorable Raymond Van Stockum, who will be retiring at the end of this term.   I expect to meet with Mr. Montgomery in the next week to learn more about his campaign and his platform.  For now, take a look at his website:  Ed4Judge

I will reserve judgment as to whether I feel Mr. Montgomery or his opponent, a deputy district attorney, is better suited for the bench until I learn more about both.  But having spent much of my adult life working in the criminal justice system and six years of that as a Judicial Secretary for some of this county’s most distinguished judges, I have a few observations.
