Kieran Brennan Posted: 10/29/2012 06:34:47 PM PDT On Nov. 6 voters have a choice between two local initiatives to cap the pay of the members of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors. Only one of those measures provides real reform that will save taxpayers millions of dollars. That initiative is Measure R. Measure R is the only local ballot measure that was initiated and supported by a grassroots coalition of average citizens: Democrats and Republicans; tea party patriots and employee union members; animal welfare volunteers and hunting enthusiasts; and community activists and citizens seeking elected office for the first time. It is also the only local measure that more than 73,000 county residents signed to qualify for the ballot. As the original proponent of the “Elected Officials Pay Reduction Act,” now known as Measure R, I can tell you we have put forth a proposal that scares entrenched and unethical elected officials. Measure R not only reduces the pay and benefit packages of board members from a high of $308,000 to $60,000 a year, it requires that the board meet at least twice a month and it reduces staffing across the districts from $6 million to $1.5 million a year.

by AdministratorExaminer today started giving us our stats in comparison to other Examiners. They are based on page views. There are something like 85,000 Examiners. I was happy to learn that at the local level — Palm Springs — my animal welfare column and my government column are ranked No. 2 and No. 4 respectively. Bill has already made it to No. 5 for San Bernardino and Riverside.
by AdministratorWell the Orduno case did not go today. Why did it get continued? Because the arbitrator decided to go to the World Series instead. In the meantime, while he’s enjoying the game, the deputy is trying to figure out how to put food on his table. Remember, he was found not guilty in a court of law.

by AdministratorThe Americans for America Tea Party chapter announced today that 20 candidates have confirmed their attendance at a forum being held Thursday, October 4, 2012, at Angel’s Roadhouse in Apple Valley. Not all candidates who are attending are endorsed by Americans for America. Americans for America is a faith-based offshoot of the Tea Party movement. The group’s website states its purpose as “Bringing Patriots together who believe that this Country was founded on Religious beliefs. It is time we stop apologizing for being Americans. It’s time we are proud of our religious background and stand up against those who try to say it is not PC. Well being PC has just about killed what made our Country so Great.” To read the rest of the story, click here.
