iePolitics: The Canary Continues to Lay Low

It’s been a month since we’ve heard from our favorite singing yellow Canary, Confidential Informant No. 1, “persona au gratin” Adam Aleman.  He’s changed his phone number and doesn’t want to talk to us any more.  Our feelings are hurt.  Really they are Adam.  We miss the daily prognostications that Burum, Kirk and Biane are about to be arrested . . . any day, really, any day now.

We hear that San Bernardino County District Attorney investigators have finally gotten to him.  We think he now realizes he really is going to have to testify and that testimony is coming up this month.  He will get his first shot at it during the Rex Gutierrez trial that is currently scheduled to start next Monday.

And we are hearing that the District Attorney’s office is considering filing a motion to request that the judge allow hearsay into evidence.  Apparently, they want to allow Adam to testify to what he says he heard.  Now this provides for interesting speculation. Continue reading

iePolitics: SBSD – Don’t They Learn?

Here is a perfect example of why cover up and nepotism is such a problem in the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.  The current POST scandal should have been a lesson, but it wasn’t.  Why?  Because there was no real punishment for bilking taxpayers out of who knows how much money.  So why not try it again?

Ed Montgomery: Check Mail-In Ballot Postage

Don’t forget to check the postage on your mail in ballot.

This year’s ballot requires 61 cents in postage and will be returned by the post office if you used just one stamp.

Ballots can be returned to any polling place on election day OR dropped off at the Registrar of Voters office during their open hours.

Please see the press release:  Press Release

Postmarked is NOT ENOUGH ballots must be at Registrar of Voters by June 8.

iePolitics: Dr. Dev GnanaDev Exhibits Contempt And Arrogance

Several weeks ago iePolitics was tipped off to the fact that Dr. Dev GnanaDev, medical director for San Bernardino County’s only county-run hospital, Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC), owns a number of pieces of real property in San Bernardino County and elsewhere.  Because of some of the accusations surrounding at least one piece of  said property, which we will detail at a later date, an attempt was made to verify that Dr. GnanaDev properly reported his real estate investments on his Form 700.

iePolitics obtained a copy of Dr. GnanaDev’s contract with the county of San Bernardino and verified that pursuant to his contract, he is in fact required to file an FPPC Form 700.   However, when iePolitics attempted to review Dr. GnanaDev’s Form 700 on the San Bernardino County Clerk of the Board’s website, it could not be found.
