San Bernardino County’s three top lawyers may be “former” employees by year’s end. San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos, Public Defender Doreen Boxer, and County Counsel Ruth Stringer all are in precarious positions at best.
Although mainstream media has refused to cover the antics of District Attorney Mike Ramos, iePolitics and InlandPolitics have covered them extensively. We have been accused of libeling poor Mikey. But the seeds he has sown are about to come back to haunt him and prove that we are the ones with truth on our side.
We expect the declarations of six of the women that Ramos had affairs with to be made public within the next two weeks. Those affairs occurred on county time and in county buildings and vehicles while the women were on the clock. We expect that there will be enough information that Mikey could be charged criminally.
However, if that is not the case, and honestly we don’t expect his partner, Jerry Brown, to charge him, we do have confirmation that the FBI is here in full force, conducting interviews and investigating a wide range of corruption allegations. We know that information has been given to them sufficient to charge Mikey minimally with one solid felony. It is just a matter of time. The only real question is whether it will happen before or after he is sworn in to his next term. I’m betting before.
Next up is Doreen Boxer. We hear things are about to explode at the Public Defender’s Office in more ways than one. It seems Boxer is far more political than we have given her credit for. She has tried to sell out defendants to further (or keep) her career.
Boxer might have gotten away with it had she not tried to also take down some of the office’s top attorneys in the process. I have found over the years that the most successful deputy public defenders are those who truly believe in their mission. If they happen to be a top notch attorney also, they are not going to sacrifice a client for their boss’ career. I expect her to be gone by the end of October, probably much sooner.
Finally, there is iePolitics’ favorite legal Beagle, Ruthie Stringer. Okay, so I really cannot stand this woman. I’ve had two of my attorneys tell me that she is going to fight me on my cases no matter what. The attorneys repesenting the county have said so. I cannot even imagine how much the county has spent fighting me, hoping they discourage me and I kill myself. But we are going to win. And I am one of at least a dozen employees who have righteous claims and have decided to fight back. Expect a high-profile suit to be filed next week.
We hear the Board of Supervisors might have actually grown a backbone and is forcing Stringer to retire earlier than she had planned. Her leave payout is expected to exceed $500,000 and her annual retirement income should be around $200,000. She will be among the county’s highest paid retirees.
Ruthie’s retirement costs pale in comparison to what her legal advice has cost taxpayers. But it is not even her legal advice as much as it is her disloyalty to the Board of Supervisors.
A significant chunk of the current corruption investigation was caused by Stringer in her attempt to keep Mark Uffer and Mike Ramos in her pocket. Her lack of litigation experience along with an extremely vindictive personality fit right in with the Uffer/Ramos scheme.
Ramos’ deficiencies in legal expertise is similar to Stringer’s. They are equally incompetent and willing to use their respective offices for political assassination.
We have heard that it was Stringer who encouraged Uffer to file suit against the county, telling him that the county will settle with him. I suspect that revelation has aided in her early retirement.
We expect the Stringer retirement announcement very soon, but soon is a year too late. She has cost taxpayers multi-millions of dollars in litigation costs due to piss-poor legal advice based on hatred rather than facts. We can only hope she is on the list of those the FBI is investigating.
We can only hope that as these three attorneys depart, our Board of Supervisors conducts a legitimate nationwide search to fill the vacancies. These three epitomize what is wrong in this county. It would be a shame for them to be replaced with more political cronies. But we expect more shame, not less. That is the county way.
Getting rid of Boxer is a move in the right direction but Fergie must go too. SHe is the architect of the
policy and her departure should have happened a long time ago. Neither deserves a golden handshake.
There is an extra “l” in your description of Mikey’s malfeasance, they were actually “on the c(l)ock” (sic), right Mikey?

Rruthless Ruth String along stringer isn’t leaving with a empty briefcase full of cash from tax payers dollars. The trail of fraud, deceit and deception that will follow her as a person with gross mismanagement capabilities.
Ruthless Ruth ran many scams and was involved in many conspiracies from the 102 million colonies to the Enron lawyer Houston in his illegal scam of taking over 1 million chasing Postmus who is broke. The only way to attack the 800 lb gorilla Stringer is to attack the head and that is the BOS. Ruthless Ruth always said it was her interpuration when ever she was on the hot seat and with a person who has absolutely no moral compass or conscience to draw on she has always seemingly taken the low road on hard pressed issues. If in deed she does quit or is fired it will be interesting if the crook Houston well follow in her snail trail of fraud, deciet and deception.

No golden handshakes for these clowns.
I think a departing ” Golden Shower” is needed for these three. Oh, wait, I think they would enjoy that, never mine the golden shower!
Sharon, you belong back in ward “B”, if you believe any of this crap. Get ready for all your so called friends to get new residents. CIM, Corcoran, Pelican Bay will be where thier new ip addresses will be coming from. You have been used by Postmus and Erwin. You claim to be a conservative, however you listen to these clowns stories rather than having them take responsibility for being corrupt cooks. Erwin has been corrupt since he became the president of SEBA and Postmus has been corrupt since he became a County Supervisor. Birds of a feather.
Sgt. Milstar, that is really gross!
Truth Detector, You don’t have anything better to do while vacationing in Mexico than to worry about what is on iePolitics?
When Jim Rissmiller contacted County Counsel for assistance, Ms. Stringer wrote, “The Preliminary Change of Ownership Report is not a public document and held secret by the Assessor.” Ms. Stringer instructed
Virginia Adams from the County Administrators Office left the following message on my answering machine: This message is for Tina Allen. You had called regarding your questions and concerns with the Assessor’s Office. I’ve been asked to inform you that, that issue needs to be resolved (and I believe you’ve been informed of that from the Assessor’s Office) through legal pursuit. There is nothing they can do, pending the court arrangement.
Why would the court arrange the concealment of the Preliminary Change of Ownership Report? The Law Office of Shore & Wurm sent the original PCOR (attached to Grant Deed) to the San Bernardino County Recorder’s Office. Mr. Wurm said, a copy of the PCOR was previously sent, and now missing from the file.
According to Supervisor Mitzelfelt, the destruction of (constituient) documents is immoral and unethical. I believe, Ms. Stringer will be held accountable for her actions.
Destruction of public records is illegal, but is accepted practice at SBCo. Government Center, just as ex-Supervisor Hansburgerler, who says he destroyed all records held in his office, in advance of Supervisor Derry arriving “just because he could”. String(her)-up should be held accountable for not having a records retention policy in place per state code. Show the people how transparent government works, just like how Josie was ranting at the last BOS meeting about when someone “at will” isn’t performing to her “pleasure” in the workplace, “they’re gone”. Let the Devil’s work be done, go ahead and string String(her)-up.
Hey, Sharon, there must be something wrong with your computer. I wrote my post from Apple Valley. By the way you did not address my comments. Why?
Bad dead horse. Bad dead horse! But I would love to see this horse resurrected.
