There is a rumor coming from the Fifth Floor. In part it makes total sense and in part I cannot believe even the crooks we have voted into office would go this far.
The general belief is that our BOS Pay Reduction Act will be easily passed by the voters this November. We hear it is being used as one of the excuses for the county to file bankruptcy.
I spent a few hours at Calico Ghost Town today for a story for Examiner. It was so freaking hot!
There was some really good music and the park is a nice place to visit but the heat was terrible. I thought it was just me.
I requested a copy. Here it is: windle 700 4-2-12
San Bernardino County has waited a long time for a Sheriff like Paul Schrader. The almost 30 year veteran of law enforcement and has trained and practiced at the local, county, and federal levels. His leadership has brought fiscal and operational successes to several major policing and community projects and endeavors, and earned him several coveted awards in his field. However, what sets this candidate apart from incumbent Sheriff Rod Hoops is a willingness to reach the members of the community and address their concerns with a straight forward approach.
San Bernardino County Employees for Change asked me to pass along the following information: Continue reading

Yes, I am sure blood pressures at Devore Animal Shelter are running a bit high today. If Supervisor Neil Derry gets his way, they are about to be caught!
At this morning’s Board of Supervisors meeting Derry proposed a committee comprised of citizens to review the situation at Devore. From what I understand, there will be little cost, and if changes can be made, the county will make money off of this as it is less expensive to adopt an animal out to a loving home than to murder it as is the current practice for most animals that enter the shelter.
The post below would not have made a lot of sense without explaining what happened in context. But seriously, Deputy Anderson does deserve more than a passing “thank you” buried in the middle of a long post.
I have appreciated all he has done in my case. He arrested the woman whose cell phone was left next to my truck and whose tire prints (all four tires were different) were behind my house. He brought me two six packs. I couldn’t identify anyone on the first but had no problem identifying the crook in the second.
I received a voice mail message today from Deputy Jason Anderson. The phone function on my phone is not working so I used a friend’s phone to call my voice mail to see what was up.
I then called Victorville dispatch and left a message for him to call me. I explained that he needed to call a different number. I tried to ask her to tell him I would only be at that number for ten minutes but she got quite snotty with me.
Paul Schrader officially announced his candidacy today to run for the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner position in 2014, a seat that is currently held by Rod Hoops. Schrader in 2010 ran against then appointed Hoops and Averbeck. In 2010, with only five months to elections Schrader was able to garner 40,000 votes to Hoops 120,000. This time around Schrader hopes by starting earlier he’ll be able to get his message out and win over San Bernardino County.
