"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.

"Eyebrow-raising Funders: Pot money ($500 from Harborside chief Steve DeAngelo, $1,000 from Harborside’s local boss Jeff Brothers), and $1,000 from DRO police reservist/MRAP donor and railroad fortune heir James Hill and his El Sur Ranch."

A bribe taking Monterey County Supervisor posting about what his buddy, @CSAC_Counties ED #GrahamKnaus, asked @GavinNewsom while in the @CAgovernor office - which of the 296 County Supervisors he should appt. to the US Senate?
under criminal investigation and Luis Alejo is making jokes and pushing his messages to Gov. Newsom as the locals are left to wonder what is wrong with #MontereyCounty government.

#PPP program continues to surprise - how many ultra-rich received seemingly special treatment?
Monterey County Bank, whose CEO is very, very good friends with Denny LeVett, got this emergency money for his buddy - Denny.
Cute stuff.

Poor Denny - or rich Denny. His office in Palo Alto, CA.

Gerry Kehoe the fraud of Oldtown Salinas who ended up selling nearly all his property to Bruce Taylor.

How #rigged is the Monterey County Superior Court Bench?
When Judge Kay Kingsley retired, county supervisor Judge John Phillips already had a replacement in mind. Heidi Whilden.
Who ran Whilden's campaign? #Corrupt@RepJimmyPanetta's consultant Plasha Will - and she used the

same people she used for many of her dirt bag operations, including the Sheriff Scott Miller vs. Deputy Bernal 2014 race.
The email regarding Chris Marohn not being paid for John Phillips' help (via his campaign cash) for the "Corrupt Sheriff Miller PAC". Same people.

The Cherry on Top is look at local lawyer Larry Biegel, A FIXER, who represented Mike Hackett during his probation revocation hearing and lied in court filings about Hackett's relationship with Casa Sorrento.
I wonder if Larry shows up to court wearing flip flops over socks?
My grandfathers, their brothers, all saw active duty in a time of war and during other operations. Service helped them pay for medical school, law school, college but that wasn't why they served. They served because they love this country and it didn't come without sacrifice.

My family came to beautiful Monterey County for similar reasons. Community and further service. My grandfather's brother was here at the language school learning Portuguese. He was one of the youngest graduates of Iowa law school and rose to the rank of Colonel.

Their commitment to our Country always inspired me to do more - without fear or favor.
I've always been committed to the health of my home community because of the lessons I learned at the dinner table, or long conversations about the world and elsewhere.
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.
Like his good friends the Orradres and the Dufflocks. (oil money) who installed a crooked

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.
