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
3/
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
6/
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
7/
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
8/
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.
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.
* .@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".
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
2/
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.
HEROES of Monterey County? Now there is a normal group. Are those the pawnshop dudes?
With the Cabrera brothers involved?
I think so.
@SalinasPD has some serious issues. If people only knew.
