iePolitics: Promoting iePolitics

I did not see Mr. Garcia’s comment below about doing an episode on iePolitics until after I posted his email and video.  That reminded me that I never got back to Scott Markovich and Wayne J.R. Bowser about being on their show on KCAA.  It was my intention to give them a date for this month.  Unfortunately, getting to San Bernardino has been a major problem for me, especially for the past few months.

I have always preferred to remain behind the scenes.  Those who know me well know that I am basically very shy.  The blog is an alter-ego that is meant to be entertainment, therapy, and a place to vent.  I think we perform a service for many but at the same time it does not define me as much as many try to use it to do so.

iePolitics: Rumor check

We hear there is a possibility that David Zook and his boss are being investigated in connection with Zook’s failure to work the hours he is being paid for and Brad’s willingness to allow Zook to defraud the system, i.e., conspiracy.  We are not sure which agency may be looking into this.  Can anyone give us a heads up?

iePolitics: Depositions start to fly in the civil corruption cases

Do you swear or affirm that the testimony you are about to give is the truth?

Some defendants in the civil corruption cases have started receiving depo notices.  Bill Postmus, Jim Erwin, Greg Eyler, Rex Gutierrez, and Adam Aleman are all named in the lawsuit.

In response, the defense is sending similar notices to specific members of the Board of Supervisors, their current/former chiefs of staff and other current and past staffers who  are familiar with time card fraud and campaign work on county time.   Let the fireworks begin as the county’s hypocrisy is made public for all to see, that is if those depo’d tell the truth.  We shall see.

iePolitics: No Old Glory for Brad

Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt

I finally had a chance to meet with Traci Dean and her friend tonight.  We compared Brad Mitzelfelt and David Zook stories.  Our stories are very similar in terms of the runaround we have both been given by Brad and David.

Traci pointed out something interesting that I had never noticed.  Although I went to his old Mariposa Road office several times, I never noticed that he did not fly the American flag.  Well Traci noticed it.  And Brad refused to budge.

iePolitics: Hmm . . . very interesting

I happen to be very familiar with network marketing, multi-level marketing, and various other schemes that come out of Salt Lake City/Provo and have been so for a couple of decades now.  If you ever receive an invitation through the mail to attend a seminar at a hotel on making money and you trace the company back to its origins, likely it will be based out of Utah.

I’ve been involved in quite a few in my lifetime, mostly when I was young and stupid.  If you get in early, there is some money to be made.  But mostly they are Ponzi schemes or close to it and those that prosper are those that own the companies (or are hidden partners).

iePolitics: It must be nice to live in Utah and earn a paycheck from San Bernardino County

David Zook

First District Chief of Staff David Zook is a resident of Salt Lake City, Utah.  His wife and children live there full time and he commutes from there to serve as Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt’s right-hand man.

Zook is the highest paid Chief of Staff.  At $242,403, he earns over $25,711  (more than the annual salary of some county employees) more than the next highest paid chief.  We guess he needs it for all that commuting.

iePolitics: Adelanto Boys and Girls Club

Traci Dean’s comment on another story reminded me about a story I had planned on researching and writing about 100 days ago.  I was given information similar to what she is claiming from a very reliable source.  In trying to make peace with David Zook and Brad Mitzelfelt, I held off on the story for a few days and then totally forgot all about it until today.

What I have been told is that Mitzelfelt has sent about $600,000 their way and the money is being used as a slush fund to pay family members of the directors.  I was told there is a lot of abuse.

In all fairness, Zook told me he would go with me out there and I could examine the books.  Somehow, I don’t exactly think that offer still stands.  Besides, he chastised me for wanting to harm one of the only children’s programs in the area.  I’m all for helping kids but not for lining the pockets of political friends with taxpayer money.

iePolitics: Traci Dean and others

I have been trying to take the time to contact you but life seems to happen.  However, when I saw the comment by Phelan Patriot today regarding what was said to them by First District Chief of Staff David Zook, I had to take the time to write a post.  Zook has made the exact same comment to me on several occasions.

I was not kidding about the blackmail and quid pro quo I have experienced with the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors.  It seems few on the Fifth Floor realize they are P U B L I C   S E R V A N T S.  That means you do what is right for the public because it is the right thing to do, not because they give you campaign money or write nice things about you.
