And the @RepJimmyPanetta crime family keeps on gritting.

No one in the local "paid" journalism world in Monterey County has been vocal about this. Not once. With the exception of @Calkins_Royal who writes for @VoicesofBay.

If Monterey County wasn't such a rigged community - politically - a corrupt politician like @RepJimmyPanetta wouldn't get 75% of the vote when he clearly has ethical and legal problems and has done nothing about the organized crime problem in the region. @CNN

.@BernieSanders won in Monterey County during the primary. @JimmyPanetta does not represent those voters. Panetta more closely represents the tens of thousands who voted for Trump.

deputy as Sheriff of Monterey County

Panetta's consultant received a multi-million dollar home in Carmel Valley from a rich Packard heir for a bargain, after living in it as a rental 4 a few years and after dumping her own property to foreclosure - not unlike Sheriff Bernal.

"The Ugly: Potter has made some questionable financial decisions in his private life, and the supervisors are responsible for a $1.2 billion budget."

Sort of a skimp on what Dave Potter has done.

He lives in a multi-million dollar house in the beautiful Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Potter's house prior to that was a home owned by Land Use Attorney Tony Lombardo -who acted as the bank on the loan. We don't know if Potter paid anything to be fair. The attorney was the bank.

emboldened by a lawless Sheriff who got the boot in 2010.

This scumbag, Mike Kanalakis was a favorite of the Cannery Row boys, even though he sued one of them for a slip and fall at one the 'cooks of Cannery Row's homes.

into the #corrupt @MCoSheriff department is long overdue.

ANY department that would hire back and promote a deputy FIRED and charged with TWO FELONIES by the MoCo DA (who later, quietly dropped the charges) cannot be trusted until a federal report comes out, informing us.
