"The violations here were isolated as the committee AND WAYLAND have not bad prior enforcement history"
@CA_FPPC - yes Wayland has had prior enforcement history. Stephen Collins Don Chapin & Scheid Wineries "loans" not disclosed $7,000 fine. Wayland was Collins' accountant.
Wendy, "the Progressive" became Pandering Wendy to @SVLGroup (a PAC under local, state & federal investigation for corruption) as the newly elected official who went out of her way to bow to the powerful and ridiculously right-wing political action committee in MoCo.
3/
Dave Drew, the narco-trafficker pardoned (wrongly) by @JerryBrownGov, has been a dues paying member since the group began.
In essence, @WendyRootAskew just pandered to a right wing PAC because @RepJimmyPanetta's amoral consultant Plasha Will asked her to.
4/
Seems pretty clear why @HaffaAlan's Democratic Central Committee frosted out the one, not corrupted - Black - candidate for Supervisor.
Because MoCo leaders and many members of the SVLG are alleged racists. They will never tolerate independent thinkers who are not panderers.
5/
The intro was a stunning display of arrogance on Don Chapin's part.

The money shot is at the end, where @WendyRootAskew jokes with right-wing judge John Price (who wanted to steer monthly Judges meetings to his buddy at Lugano's - where many a European "classic" was privately screened for certain MoCo men, according to sources at the time)

Wendy Askew then goes on to have cute, giggly banter w/ none other than Ricky Cabrera, the guy whose brother murdered a single mother for her insurance money in a planned execution. That Cabrera brother fled to Mexico for several years after "slipping away" from the
This clip should disgust any ethical leader in Monterey County.
Remember @RepJimmyPanetta was just boasting of his support for the #ViolenceAgainstWomenAct - and again * RICKY CABRERA'S BROTHER murdered a single mother with a young son.

To that end, @SupervisorAskew please see the attached Public Records Act request dated today March 18, 2021.
Imagine you ran for Board of Supervisors - it would be an uphill battle because the big money interests were backing your opponent @stevemcshane. Your campaign was - "I'm the real Democrat"
Then, within a month you are meeting with a criminally investigated PAC. That's
what @supervisoraskew has lowered herself to in meeting with this group. There is no benefit to Monterey County residents by meeting with this corrupt group.
Brian Finegan is a perjurer. He is a co-founder of SVLG. Don Chapin is a bully. Just ask Professor
Mercurio of Hartnell College who had to get tough with Chapin who tried to bully the Hartnell Professor, Chapin had hired as an expert witness.
In 2014 @mcweekly's @maryrduan wrote about some of the Steve Bernal criminal overstepping that was taking place.
The 2020 rape convicted political consultant Fickas was coordinating kids in Salinas Union High School District and Alisal to get kids to do their dirty work.

It was through these corrupt political operations, funded with Dark Money, coming from the usual suspects and working their way through to pay for child labor.
The person paying for this Op in part?
Plasha Will, @RepJimmyPanetta's paid consultant. Previously with Sam Farr.

Plasha Will coordinated payments to this crew from Supervisor John Phillips (and others) campaign accounts.
Beyond @CA_FPPC violations that were never fully investigated - there are probably federal civil rights violations, this shit was pre-Trump but right outta
This is CA State Senator @CASenCaballero in 2001 when I confronted the @CityofSalinas regarding @SalinasPD promotional process that led to terrible promotions because the entire process was rigged & not on merit. They used this to promote people who looked the other way on
2/
clearly criminal conduct within the City of Salinas - where Caballero was just starting out as a new Mayor.
Ultimately @Kelly_McMillin was a beneficiary of this rigged promotional process, becoming chief in 2012 and retiring to work in in #marijuana in 2016/17.
3/
McMillin associated with known narco-traffickers as a police chief.
That was Anna Caballero's corrupt influence on Monterey County law enforcement. It wasn't the beginning and it isn't the end, but the unprecedented corruption experience in Monterey County - largely
But @supervisoraskew, in a stunning display of poor judgement, chose to sit down with the good old boys for a post election "getting to know you" chat.
There is no bottom folks.
On the call were Ricky & Rolando Cabrera. Their brother murdered a single mom, in an execution
3/
style killing. No one local cared because the woman was from the Fiji islands. Victor Cabrera then went on the run, fleeing to Guadalajara, only recently returned, tried and convicted.
Grade A community members under Don Chapin and Brian Finegan's group.
It has been 609 days since two @FBIWFO agents came down to Monterey County and Santa Cruz county to ask about bribery and public corruption from at least two individuals connected to politics and marijuana.
(once before killing any story connected to your problems)
While your father @LeonPanetta12 is the most powerful politician in California with worldwide credentials, and powerful friends - you're not.

Is there a reason why you have failed to address this serious threat to Democracy, as some have called it, including the DC team in San Luis Obispo working corruption and marijuana?
Considering all the Oakland players in Cannabis working and conducting business in
