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.

Panetta,
has an unusually close relationship with a man named Mike Bitar, who, if our press wasn't in the bag for the Panetta "dynasty", would be publicly exposed for the sort of "businessman" and fraud he is - these are all verifiable things you will only read here.

tens of thousands of people are disenfranchised in #Monterey County because of the nature of this insular community. That is changing - but it's changing far too slowly to make any meaningful impact in many of our residents lives - who are cold,
hungry, broke and some - too

many, homeless - without meaningful governmental representation. Without meaningful community support.

History will be the judge and not the puffery that takes in the immediate because of our lack of quality press.

History will show that the Panetta's were far more

instrumental in keeping organized crime figures from the reach of law enforcement. Far more instrumental in allowing a corrupt former judge turned county supervisor to exert undo and illegal influence over a forty year stink in public office.

This is why we must continue to

push back against the corruption that exists in all our communities. The only way to prevent this sort of disconnect between the people and the electeds who sell us out on a daily basis IS to fight the establishment at ever turn.

"earns" over $450,000 a year (at 81 years old and with a huge Congressional pension and platinum health care) from tech billionaire Larry Ellison.

That is only possible in a corrupt, enabling system that rewards the unjust and tells everyone else - do it on merit.

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?

Gov. Newsom called Supervisors the doers.

Three Monterey County Supervisors are under criminal investigation by the @FBI, State and Local Police and the @CA_FPPC for wrongdoing:

1. "Judge" John Phillips @PhillipsForSup

2. Chris Lopez @SupervisorLopez

3. Luis Alejo @SupervisorAlejo.

A majority of this board is

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.

This is the absence of leadership.

#PPP program continues to surprise - how many ultra-rich received seemingly special treatment?

Cute stuff. Image

Felix Cortez literally said on @ksbw last night Gloria de la Rosa would weigh in because she brings 22 years of experience to the table.

* Had an illegal assault weapon she hid under her bed stolen from her house. No charges. No court with flip-flops over socks.

* .@SalinasPD arrested her son selling an illegal handgun to an undercover. Her son advertised the gun sale on his Facebook account "for sale WITH FOOD".

Food = Bullets.

Experience indeed.

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. ImageImageImage

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.

Enjoy #VeteransDay

.@SalinasPD getting more oddball by the minute. Dave Wasson's wife Amber Wasson is a victims advocate?

Aren't the Wasson's buddies with Dave Drew?

It just doesn't stop getting weirder.

HEROES of Monterey County? Now there is a normal group. Are those the pawnshop dudes?

I think so.

@SalinasPD has some serious issues. If people only knew.
