.@GavinNewsom's weaknesses aren't the same as Jerry Brown's. Brown is an old figure with corrupt ties to Monterey's Cannery Row - going way, way back to his dad.

He's a corrupt communist. As much as one wants to believe in the horseshit Brown was and still is selling.

Gavin is

dealing in large part to crisis beyond his control. Newsom may be the governor but the party apparatchiks have him pigeonholed.

The @FBI is working serious corruption issues regarding marijuana & public officials in every county in CA, all 58. @cmarinucci @chipfranklin
3/
To explain how serious this all is - the @MCoSheriff is in more trouble, over more serious criminal allegations than former OC Sheriff Mike Carona who went to prison for 5 years AFTER a 9 year @FBI investigation.

This drags Newsom.

Tik Tok @SheriffBernal, @Kelly_McMillin.
And that's politics.

Here is @SVMHS former CEO Sam Downing who gave all his friends and family high paying jobs with one of the largest employers in Monterey County.

Sam was in trouble and this was CYA. 2004 & 2005!

SVMH was getting looked at and political considerations kept Sam from prison IMO. ImageImageImage
2/
That word salad between Sam Downing and Wylie Mitchell above is CYA for investigators so they could show Sam's hiring of Roger Duke was all above board. Duke is a self-described Real Estate Developer. The reality is Roger was a Sacramento failure. He once had an office at the

top of Sacto's most iconic Capitol area skyscraper.

The building had just been built in 1985, in 1986 I met Duke in his Capitol Mall building to ask him some questions.

I was a real young guy,
just starting out and have to admit - I thought Duke was the picture of success. Image

Panetta Institute kicks off with Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Guess what? It's too expensive for anyone in the community to go.

Imagine that. From the Panettas.

* The Panetta Institute had its genesis by converting donor funds of outgoing congressman to "Institutes" a rule they wrote. ImageImage

Another job for Leon Panetta.

Then CEO 4 Oracle created another one. 81 year old Leon brings in about 450,000 per year AND has accumulated $3-4 million in Oracle stock.

Leon Panetta worked for the government his entire life. He is worth in excess of $10,000,000.
3/
The Institute charges a hefty hefty price tag to hear these big name guests like Dr. Fauci.

I wonder if @bradleyzeve paid for @pammarino's ticket or was it @RepJimmyPanetta gratis?

What would that mean? Bradley Zeve runs the @mcweekly for a profit. If the weekly isn't

This is former Monterey County sheriff Mike Kanalakis in a deposition when the topic of whether or not cops should hang out with convicted felons. Image

Years earlier this was NEWLY ELECTED sheriff Mike Kanalakis giving permission to then @MCoSheriff Sgt. Mike Richards who was asking permission to hang out with David Drew, a truck broker and mutli-felon. Image

 This was a @SalinasPD copper who knew enough to document what he heard while interviewing someone on an unrelated call unrelated to what the copper documented. Mike Richards used people as informants that is go from the County Jail to fire other officers.

For those of you journalists outside of Monterey County that continue to appreciate public records - even hard to get public records. This record will be published soon and it involves none other that Dave Drew!

What Dave doesn't seem to grasp is, this issue is bigger than him. Image
2/
Once Dave endeavored to become a larger than life local public figure, with many public officials shockingly siding with his journey toward public rehabilitation and eventually a @JerryBrownGov - and let's face it Brown only pardoned Drew because it mattered to certain

Vanessa Vallarta is an attorney who had worked for land use lawyer Tony Lombardo. She also worked with @CASenCaballero & Sue Matcham at @CRLAinc.

Just like another strange politico @billmonning.

Vallarta somehow became city attorney for Salinas. Fat toes in back rows and all.
2/
.@JerryBrownGov appointed Vallarta judge in 2013.

Based on what? Who knows.

Here is Vallarta refusing to release public records related to a fraudster "hotel owner" named Gerry Kehoe.

Kehoe cost the public millions of dollars and in the continuing saga of Oldtown ImageImage
3/
Salinas - unchecked corruption. Corruption that @CityofSalinas directly participated in.

Direct participants in Kehoe's fraud, to the detriment of the public (us), was in fact then Salinas Mayor Anna Caballero.

Caballero has always been an eager facilitator.

* Pat Brown owned a taste of Cannery Row. Dirty deal

“In the early to mid-’70s, [real estate developer] Ben Swig, Chief Justice Earl Warren, and former California Governor Pat Brown, among others, owned Cannery Row and at that time they wanted to get rid of it,” Balestreri says.
2/
When we learned in 2018 that @JerryBrownGov signed a pardon for a criminal trump supporter of course it was suspect.

It makes sense when people are made aware of the former governor's dad's relationship with Cannery Row.

Scumbag to scumbag. It's an organized crime thing.
3/
Who did the two sleazy fuckers on the Row go into business with?

"Soon the main partners, Ted J. Balestreri, Bert P. Cutino, Harry Davidian and George Zarounian, started buying up properties; today Cannery Row Company owns approximately 88 percent of the area."
