The @mcweekly has no business withholding important news from the community they serve because they are butt-hurt over a political consultant who ran a campaign for @SheriffBernal (a guy @bradleyzeve has gone soft on because of his weird relationship with Armanasco & Panetta)

all worked in concert to get a deputy to replace the outsider the county voters elected in 2010 - Scott Miller.
Why?
MONEY.
Why else?
The entire system is dependent on a government that looks the other way with dirty cops, dirty politicians, corrupt judges and DA's, and

rich businessmen - who our local, state and federal government have always bent over backwards for, rather than the "every person".
And guess what new business was in line to make a select handful of locals (across California) wealthier than they had ever dreamed?

federal Schedule 1 drug, illegal - as a VERY SELECT FEW look to cash in on a business many of these same people were already involved in.
(@JoeLivernois can fact check this based on the good old First Cabin LLC days, Marijuana and Cannery Row circa 1980 something).

The desperate (and successful) attempt to oust an outsider sheriff and replace the outsider with a yes person has had its desired effect.
There was just too much marijuana money at stake.

Not discussed, like a dysfunctional family that never talks about reality but actively tries to keep dirty laundry out of dining room convo.

Congrats to the consultant making big waves in the MoCo political scene.
If it wasn't for outsiders like Christian Schneider making waves other people might figure it's just too much hassle for no personal benefit.
