Yeah, @VoicesofBay - one of your co-founders wanted to keep anything Mike Hackett related secret to our community. While on the payroll of the @mcweekly.
No class is no class.
* Mike Hackett is a convicted cocaine trafficker who has a big presence in marijuana in MoCo.

The @DEAHQ would not speak to a compromised "reporter" like @mcweekly's Mary Duan. When Duan claimed this she was talking about what @MCoSheriff told her and we all know how reliable Caldwell is, don't we @Calkins_Royal?

Of course the @mcweekly never discusses Dave Drew or Mike Hackett. Wonder why?

Solidifying what a rigged bunch of BS our local (nearly non-existent) media is -- this was @maryrduan giving me and assignment. 😂
You couldn't make this stuff up. Completely incredible.

There is a very long list of media ignored corruption from the period @Schwarzenegger was governor.
He appointed Monterey County real estate broker Jeff Davi to the top spot in Real Estate oversight, the RE Commish.
While Jeff was the Commish he and his brother tried to buy

DEATH ROW RECORDS using money from a man named Sebastian "Buster" Sollecito - a man who managed money for a lot of Italian fisherman in Monterey CA using a hair salon owner (woman) as the straw CEO. Sollecito left behind a huge estate worth north of $75 million dollars and

developed large apartment complexes in Salinas CA with corrupt Brian Finegan as his attorney on at least one project. Brian Finegan had repped the Cannery Row property owners (including Ben Swig) before the California Coastal Commission before Cannery Row was developed. 🤔
"A spokeswoman for @JerryBrownGov says thousands apply statewide, and the governor’s office only keeps records of granted pardons. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger granted 16, compared to Gray Davis’ zero."

Both, however, were quick to distance themselves from Drew during the campaign. Kanalakis returned $800 for a donation of food from Growers Pub, which is run by Drew’s partner Dawn Magri. Garcia paid back $500 for a fundraiser Drew’s production company sponsored just weeks .
Joe Livernois spiked a story I gave the @VoicesofBay co-founder a story in 2000. @CityofSalinas was rigging promotional exams for @chief_filice@SalinasPD which led to the promotion of losers like Cassie McSorley. Cassie had been looked at because she was a @Kelly_McMillin. Dunce

So this is the story (I wonder if that weirdo Joe Livernois remembers @MelendezSalinas because I still have the documents) - Salinas was set on promoting the worst cops in the 90's and 00's because of @CASenCaballero politics.
Cassie McSorley was a Sgt. at the time and test

for a promotion to Lt. (McSorley). The contract with @SalinasPolice and the mgmt. arm SPMA called for A band testers to be considered. B band was only considered if there were no A band testers and C band was a fail. No one was to be picked from C band.
I did. It's a long story but I registered the domain names as a clever way to call for the firing of a corrupt city manager, Dave Mora.
Salinas sued me and lost.

I sued the @CityofSalinas for violating my First Amendment Rights and won. Salinas then paid me $5,000 for the domain names after spending $50,000 in legal fees - to lose.
@Kelly_McMillin was a beat cop then with his head still suck up his ass.
@JoeLivernois wrote the fucking story. Livernois told me Christine Davi (then a Salinas asst City Attorney later to become @CityofMonterey's actual city attorney) called Livernois to complain about his wording in his article. Livernois then told me Christine Davi was a dolt
Because Duan is outing her sources. You know who else she outed?
Mark Caldwell. The narc with past IRS liens while he was tasked with the @DEAHQ in San Jose. I know because

after Ricky Cabrera's illegal marijuana grow was discovered in the 800 block of W Market Street a few years ago, I picked up Duan at her house and we drove over to the grow - which was still growing because @SalinasPD officer Gabe Carvey LEFT BEHIND - and we she messaged
When is that lowlife former police chief @Kelly_Mcmillin, the guy who was so bold to publicly attack a terminally obese journalist w/ zero friends & less money, going to endorse Joe Moses like the woman who once worked for the @mcweekly - as a journalist.
Holy shit. How crooked was Kelly, @JohnCarloMurray. It's like I heard you say one time. You work with a lot of people who have no integrity. (sorry J)

REMINDER
Salinas PD's JOE GUNTER wrote a letter for a COCAINE TRAFFICKER Mike Hackett a letter of reference on @CityofSalinas in 2018, the same year @JerryBrownGov pardoned @DavidDr34643165. Another @Kelly_McMillin buddy - a cocaine and heroin addicted narco trafficker.
