iePolitics: The Sentinel

This week’s Sentinel includes an article on our initiatives:  The Sentinel

I’m not sure if this is the final version of the story or not, but here is what I have:

A recently formed group is sponsoring a petition drive to qualify three separate reform initiatives for the ballot, presumably in June 2012.
The Committee to Reform San Bernardino County Government is currently seeking sufficient signatures on petitions calling for referendums calling for reducing the county board of supervisors’ staffs and salaries, ending taxpayer subsidization of future county employee pensions and ethics reform.
The initiatives were drafted by an attorney, Brian T. Hildreth of the law firm of Bell, McAndrews & Hiltachk, LLP, and call for changes to the county’s charter.

Barb, of course, is the narcissistic skank who can’t stand on her own two feet with her show so she has to use lies, deceit and thievery to get listeners.  She will say or do anything, including federal crimes as she committed in the Desert Community Bank story, which got her fired from a local radio station.  During the Vogler campaign when she was publicly stating she was Rita’s campaign manager, ET Snell had to convince Barb that it wasn’t wise to discuss on the air  her (Barb’s) current treatment at the time for syphilis as it could damage Rita’s image.
