Why does Dave Potter get away with all his Dave Potter shenanigans?

... he has friends.

Dave Potter is in business with ⁦@RepJimmyPanetta⁩'s political consultant Plasha Will.

According to at least one published report, Mike Bitar, a marijuana functionary, requires

anyone subleasing from Mike Bitar & Co. marijuana grow space that they MUST use Plasha Will's Political Frameworks and Dave Potter's Potter Consulting.

Isn't that right @bradleyzeve?

"During the trial, the lawyers have shown pictures of boxes filled with cash, $192,000 in all, that Bitar delivered to Agha as a deposit when Grupo Flor begin renting space in Moss Landing."

How hard is it to push against corruption and the enablers of it, in #MontereyCounty?

Sponsor of @mcweekly is the Blue Zone Project. Speaking for the project is Katy Castagna She slipped into the United Way ED job after her predecessor Mary Adams was elected County Supe. ImageImageImage

Castagna's husband, Gary Ray, is the primary local attorney for Salinas Valley Medical Hospital. That attorney, and former media person Karina Rusk, peddled misinformation that was carried by local media as true - in a discussion about a golden parachute former SVMH CEO Sam

Downing awarded himself. The pension spiking occurred at a time the hospital was seeking a half billion dollar bond measure so tax payers could give SVMH some heavy cash. Image

What are we going to do?

"was at the center of an effort funded by the Costa Mesa Police Association to dig up dirt on Councilman Jim Righeimer and former mayor Steve Mensinger in 2012 during tense contract negotiations with the police union" ocregister.com/articles/polic…
8 years of warnings @GavinNewsom. Police unions are out of control.

“Because myself, Councilman Gary Monahan and Steve Mensinger were not giving them our loyalty, our families were the next victims,” Righeimer [said]. “This is what happens in third-world countries.”
3/
"During a 2015 court hearing, Costa Mesa police Officer Jason Chamness, who was police association president in 2012, testified that he and union officials believed Mensinger and Righeimer posed a threat because of their statements about cutting public safety funding."

This is a major player in local and state Democratic Committee politics. He worked to see that the one Black woman running for County Supervisor not receive any resources or guidance during the primary with three opponents, two Democrats and a Republican.

The Democrat Louie

supported had recently switched from lifelong Republican to Democrat (understandable given Trump, but still)

1. R Miller, 2. D Askew, 3. D McShane (was R), 4. D Chambliss (number two won).

Let that sink in. That not only is @SupervisorAlejo corrupt - he is also a bigot.

Political consultant - charged with rape in Monterey County, at a local fmr. @CityofSalinas council-members house (who now works as a political consultant).

The case is grinding its way through the MoCo judicial system with a jury trial scheduled for February 2021.
2/
This trial should prove to be interesting for two reasons. @SalinasPD's role in the investigation. @MCoSheriff Sgt. Bryan Hoskins digging in and pushing the case forward - as he is supposed to do (well done).

The second reason is an @FBI investigation into Fickas' role in
3/
a wide ranging, public corruption investigation. Information revealed during the rape investigation led to leads which allegedly implicated multiple public officials - including county supervisors John Phillips & Louie Alejo receiving cash money from Fickas associates

"Schneider did not name the former elected official but one of the women who says she had an affair with the sheriff provided the location and other details of one of their regular meeting places, which turns out to be owned by Butch Lindley." voicesofmontereybay.org/2020/11/13/mon…
2/
The @CA_FPPC must vigorously investigate this case @GavinNewsom

"Schneider said in the complaint that some of the accusations he wishes to lodge with the state are sensitive to the point that he hopes to share them with the FPPC staff in conversation rather than in writing."
3/
Behind this one complaint the @CA_FPPC must refer any matter where it finds criminal conduct by @SheriffBernal, or the other investigations into:

1️⃣. Judge John Phillips, his money laundering committee.@PhillipsForSupe

2️⃣. Supervisor Louie Alejo. IBID @SupervisorAlejo

.@WendyRootAskew,

It's Thanksgiving week. What are you planning on doing in 2021 that will:

1️⃣. Ensure the @MCoSheriff department mandates the wearing of Body Cams and in vehicle cameras as @SalinasPD and every other MoCo agency has?
2/
2️⃣. Encourage and remind our District Attorney, Jeannine Pacioni, that we need a public corruption unit which is local and above reproach?

3️⃣. Establish a countywide Campaign Contribution limit that is rational rather than non-existent?
3/
Folks, if our local elected officials can't answer key questions to the health and security of our community, they are not their to serve us. They are there to serve special interests and special interests alone.

These are easy questions to answer for anyone with integrity.
