iePolitics: The Burial Ground Story

Brad Mitzelfelt sits at his desk in the Government Center and worries about keeping his name out of the limelight when there are issues that make the County accountable.  Anyone who believes Brad knew nothing of Bill’s struggles is smoking the same substance that Brad allegedly partakes in.  Brad not only knew , but covered it up.  Brad was aware where Bill was during the Yucca Valley fire when no one could reach Bill.  Brad was aware that Bob Smith and Adam were driving Bill to get help and were out of State.  Brad lied to his peers, lied to Uffer, and lied to his constituents.  It was Brad that panicked when the press came calling and forced Bill to re appear.

iePolitics: As the Uffer trial approaches . . . it’s getting uglier and uglier

County Employees have had enough of the Board of Supervisors and their total lack of caring about the rank and file staff.  Every day these employees are on the front lines trying to provide services to the residents of the County.

Current leadership has absolutely no clue as to what goes on in the daily life of a County employee.  Many employees disliked the former CAO but at the same time many knew that he understood what they did each day.

iePolitics: A little more on the river

The story below brought to mind something that occurred over a year ago.  Barb Stanton posted a story on her site regarding property she and her family owned up at the river they were developing with one of the Hitt brothers . . . Chet, I think.  Now we hear this.

And Barb and Brad have become quite cozy.  Perhaps the two developments are not related at all.  Perhaps they are.  It shall be interesting to see how this story turns out.

iePolitics: Tell us Brad about your Burial Ground

Rule No. 1 Brad:   When you direct policy at any cost people get angry.  When they know your motives are personal, they get angry.  When they find out what you have done, they tell.

Oh I bet all of the readers thought this burial ground was an imaginary place where Brad hides his fallen staffers and people that he has no more use for.   Brad has another issue that he has carefully hidden from the County taxpayers for more than a year.   When pressed by local reporters, even County Staffers lied.  What some people won’t do to save their skin!  No story because the wagons are all circled.

iePolitics: Our wonderful BOS and their wonderful attorneys

As Mark Uffer’s case against the County of San Bernardino moves to trial on February 27, we can expect to hear information that will once again show all of use what a dysfunctional Board of Supervisors looks like.  One can only wonder what anyone on the Board of Supervisors or Greg Devereaux is thinking.

The County was keenly aware that it was likely to lose the Elizabeth Sanchez case and settled it.  There were fireworks there that would have made Board members and their staff uncomfortable.  Once the County fired Uffer it was likely he would team up with Sanchez.  Now here we are with less than a month to go, $900,000 later, and explosions coming soon.  One would think that with three members of the Board are up for election that they really can’t afford the negative publicity that is coming.

Oh sure, Brad is running for Congress so he won’t be around and will once again think his Teflon coating has saved his reputation.  Not so quick Brad!

iePolitics: Are you listening?

I had a bit of an odd occurence yesterday.  On Wednesday I went to the library to get some work done on the blogs and websites and, lo and behold, all of my blogs and websites had been completely blocked on library computers.

I called GoDaddy, which verified that everything was okay and checked all of my sites from two different servers to be sure.  I called several friends who check from Blackberrys, iPhones, and regular PCs.  Everything was fine.  I refreshed numerous times on the library computer and then several hours later switched to a different computer.  I still kept getting messages that my sites could not be accessed on library computers.

iePolitics: Internet connections in the high desert

No More Brad

There is a story in today’s Daily Press about the lack of DSL and WiFi in areas of the First District.  I would post that article, but I can’t.  Why?  Because the library’s internet connection is so freaking slow, I can’t pull it up.

But the story highlights yet one more of Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt’s failures.  It specifically discusses his current hometown of Wrightwood where those who do not already have DSL cannot get DSL and what it is doing to the local economy.  The same goes for Phelan, Pinon Hills, Lucerne Valley, and other areas of his current or former district.  Brad can’t even take care of his homies.

Havasu Lake: Mitzelfelt’s congressional campaign

No More Brad

Dear Sharon

Is someone having alcoholic delusions? or is it second hand smoke?

Brad Mitzelfelt : ” A lot of people are familiar with my record, and I will be reaching out to new areas that are not as familiar.”

But Brad could not reach out to the town of Havasu Lake, Brad being a true coward unable to attend even one of our meetings held under the auspices of his office. A whole decade of no-shows from Brad, who half the time could not even assure the attendance of a field rep.

iePolitics: Conspiracy 101

California Penal Code section 182 reads:

182. (a) If two or more persons conspire:
(1) To commit any crime.
(2) Falsely and maliciously to indict another for any crime, or to procure another to be charged or arrested for any crime.
(3) Falsely to move or maintain any suit, action, or proceeding.
(4) To cheat and defraud any person of any property, by any means which are in themselves criminal, or to obtain money or property by false pretenses or by false promises with fraudulent intent not to perform those promises.
(5) To commit any act injurious to the public health, to public morals, or to pervert or obstruct justice, or the due administration of the laws.

As I was writing the story on ARMC last night—a story in which I could not begin to include all that has been done and covered up at ARMC—I could not help but think to myself about the concept of conspiracy as currently being applied to the Colonies Four and others versus what has taken place at ARMC and with the CAO/CEO’s contract.  Here are two examples of real conspiracies in this county where laws have been broken and yet they are being almost ignored by District Attorney Mike Ramos.
