... Monterey County is under @FBI scrutiny / investigation since prior to 2017'when FBI Agents interviewed many members of the local political structure regarding public corruption - specifically as it relates to Cannabis and the push to get certain people license.
Congressman @RepJimmyPanetta is running around the county with at least two convicted felons - #Salinas cocaine trafficker Mike Hackett (hidden CEO of Riverview Farms since his felony cocaine conviction in 2018) and Mustafa "Mike" Bitar who pushed "Grupo Flor" into LA.

The @MCoSheriff department is also under @FBISanFrancisco scrutiny for its role in the public corruption and the deputy - turned Sheriff in 2015, @SheriffBernal has been breaking the law with impunity.
The Bernal campaign specifically targeted Sheriff Miller for removal as he was unable to be purchased and would not have endorsed or approved of convicted felons and cocaine traffickers from participating in "legal Cannabis"

@DaytonPubPolicy this is like Monterey County giving $3 million to Watsonville Community Hospital - bankrupt because hospitals which get a sizable chunk of their revenue from the uninsured and underinsured have a history of failing, why? State and Federal reimbursement. It costs hospitals similar
to complaints individual rate payers have with the current system.
The cure, however, isn't for a county under federal investigation for corruption, to commit to $3 million, $1 million coming from Cannabis - and we all know this contractual relationship will continue.
Look at the County of Monterey and the transaction with Barnett Davis III and the Quadrangle building in South Salinas.
The County rents that structure after helping a Malibu turned Aspen resident, Mr. Davis, buy the Quadrangle with bonds (underwriting/financing) by #Salinas
was to go after Mike Kanalakis' legal and ethical issues in a very serious manner in 2010 - and Scott Miller, "late to the party" of Kano v. Garcia, best both Kano and his challenger Garcia.
behind Joe Moses. And now with what turns out to be a sleazy @RepJimmyPanetta, a sleazy @maryrduan, and a sleazy Mike Kanalakis (twitter user Rango6HP) and a handful of the same sleazy cops who spent 4 years impeding the mission of Miller's @MCoSheriff, like @Deputyarch that
And while Joe Moses and scumbag @Deputyarch were doing the usual, playing giggle at the @attproam, @SalinasPD was working a DOUBLE HOMICIDE in @SupervisoeAlejp's District.
A DOUBLE HOMICIDE IN #SALINAS. REPOTEDLY GANG RELATED.
Man & Woman shot down in the streets in Salinas Saturday night following a shooting just a day earlier that landed two scumbags in jail - for now. (See first post)

Its important to note here that #Salinaa based cocaine trafficker and @RepJimmyPanetta donor, Mike Hackett runs around with street gangsters (and Sheriff's candidate Joe Moses), a county funded non-profit infected with Nuestra Familia gang members continues to be funded
When @kimbleycraig wrote these messages to me on Twitter, over and over again, she displayed a level of psycho that was encouraged behind the scenes by other PR flacks like @salinascityesd spokesperson @maryrduan the fmr. @mcweekly editor who is pissed off the Mike Hackett

"After The Herald asked about an $800 contribution of appetizers for a fundraising event, Kanalakis said he will immediately return the value of the donation his campaign received from Growers Pub, a Salinas restaurant closely tied to David Drew." 🤔 🤔 montereyherald.com/general-news/2…

“I have instructed my campaign to amend my (financial disclosure) reports and send Growers Pub $800 because I want no connection with them,” Kanalakis said. “The check will be sent this week.”

"Drew said he was unaware that businesses associated with him had made the contributions, and said he does not get involved in political campaigns or make endorsements."
Dave Drew would go on to criminally impersonate the reporter who wrote this ...
