Free speech in a speech-censored county
Mitzelfelt Hires Jensen
crooks, crooks, crooks……..
San Bernardino Calif., 5-3-2011
An all too often political action took place today at the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors meeting.
A consent calendar item on the board agenda would not normally receive any comment prior to voting. However, four members of the public understood their rights to political free speech and exercised those rights in a highly revealing fashion.
Item #2b on the agenda was construed to appoint a Mr. Bill Jensen from Hesperia onto the county flood control advisory committee. The nomination for the appointment was made by First District Supervisor Mitzelfelt. The supervisor was formerly the chief of staff for the then Supervisor Postmus.
Recently, Postmus has admitted guilt to three pending charges.
During the public comments at the board meeting, it was stated that Jensen had donated $6,000 to the Inland Empire PAC (political action committee.) Also, that Supervisor Mitzelfelt had received close to $100,000 from the same PAC. Additionally, the Colonies developers donated over $90,000 to the PAC to support politicians during their campaigns for political office.
The public revealed the financial arrangement between the various campaign recipients and donators. Jensen has, in essence, donated money to the campaign of Mitzelfelt, through the PAC and now Jensen has a county committee assignment through favoritism and patronage.
Prior to the actual vote, Mitzelfelt had an opportunity to explain his relationship with Mr. Jensen. He stated that he had no political relationship with Jensen and he made no comment about the money or his understanding about Jensen’s legal history.
Mitzelfelt also ignored a statement about Jensen’s criminal behavior during a prior election in Hesperia.
Mitzelfelt has stated in the past that he expects nothing less than transparency in government. If such is the case, why did he go to great length to avoid the politics regarding his nomination and final vote of approval for Jensen?
Jensen’s appointment to the committee will be manipulated in the political future when, it is suspected, Jensen will list the committee as part of his public office record, when he again campaigns for public office.
Jensen has thus become part of the Mitzelfelt political machine which includes Bill Postmus, Mark Kirk, Tad Honeycutt, Adam Aleman, Anthony Adams, Russ Blewett and Thurston Smith.
The disappointing aspect of the Board of Supervisors meeting was that not one other board member questioned Mitzelfelt regarding the assertions the public made about Jensen. This silence is a conspiracy of sorts which has a long embedded history in San Bernardino County.
