The @carmelpinecone is doing better journalism than the @mcweekly, the Weekly failed to connect the dots between alleged sleep rapist ret. @MCoSheriff deputy Nat DiMaggio and Dave Bernahl - his close friend and boss with Pebble Beach F/W. That's #CanneryRow's

Elections everywhere are a hot mess and the hope is truth, however slim, reaches the voter. In small and insular communities (where many of us exist) truth can be more elusive than DC, San Francisco, Chicago, New York City and a few others.
Newspapers have been destroyed.

This is a scumbag folks. Former Monterey County Sheriff Mike Kanalakis. An elected official so sleazy I once set up a meet with him in the back of Corral de Tierra in the parking lot of the Good Shepherd Church so he could tell me how much he would appreciate me not supporting

Kanalakis liked to hang out at the gate house at Pebble Beach and an alarm call came in for Ted Balestreri's house. Kanalakis took the call - of course, and then his physically challenged self fell and broke his ankle.
Kanalakis sued and used Dean Flippo's law firm.

Gil Onions and other massive, money making ventures. Dave Gil's son murdered someone in South County, all real hush-hush and all, being it's a local rich guy - and they kept the kid out of prison.
So you can understand what having the Sheriff in your back pocket means to

Those two and their names have long been mentioned in many a whisper campaign about narcos, money laundering and organized crime.
So Bernal isn't batting 100 here.

The intro to the @PacificGrove city council, as they say farewells, can best be described as saccharine.
This is a city so bold that it's one major accomplishment (minus the massive financial impropriety) was awarding fmr. Mayor Morrie Fisher free life-time golf.

The police chief of @PacificGrovePD is speaking on the #BlackLivesMatter issue. The "f" BLM issue.
And the Chief blames Government Code Section 3300-3312. Colloquially referred to as the Police Officers Bill of Rights. But the Chief claims that the process works.

Has anyone thought about this #COVID reality. People are going to work with a fever hoping it's not anything serious - because they don't have any sick time left, there is no support and they are broke.
This is an epic failure of government.

Monterey County's District Attorney Jeannine Pacione came out of a corrupt culture within unchecked the MCDA.
Pacione's predecessor's former boss, Bill Curtis, was told to step down and two State investigators came to Monterey County with a two inch file on Curtis.

Imperative that people tune into this meeting. Monterey has a long history of business with the illegal and dangerous drug trade. In the 1980’s a money laundering operation named First Cabin LLC was operating on #CanneryRow with the knowledge and acceptance of local LEOs. (Their

Wait, wait, wait, one second - this isn’t the same former #CanneryRow attorney who was disbarred, is it? That same dude ended up working for John Phillips’ pal Dave Drew?
