Hey Grapevines,

Did you see yesterday’s news at the LA Times online?

Yeah… ANOTHER two cops convicted in criminal court. Yep.

They exchanged the dismissal of a traffic citation for the promise of a bribe by the female motorist.

Google it.

And then come back here and read how the ignorant SRJC Police Chief boasted that he “took action immediately” on the theft of public funds by one of his cops.
Nice work. He acted ONLY after his boy was caught. What a “manager” !!!
——————-

“SRJC Police Chief Matt McCaffrey said he changed the collection procedures used by officers “literally the morning Jeff was arrested” Nov. 28 on suspicion of grand theft and embezzlement.”

The Board of Stupidvisors have done such a wonderful job of managing the county, why not give them the power to regulate, supply and management our electricity, not.

This just sounds like another socialist dream come true. If you like your lights and heat turned off and rationed all in the interest of the environment, you will love public owned power in this county.

PG&E is no prize, but it is the devil we know. Government always costs more and always, always screws it up.

The business of Sonoma County is government, the problem is they do not seem to be very good at it. I have found in my life that I am happiest when working toward a goal. Any man can make a difference in this world. Everyman should try.
Do we really need to build a power plant here in Sonoma County such as a trash to energy plant? Pittsburg is still pretty close and has the infrastructure in place to generate power when the wind is not blowing. Solar is best left as a private affair, as well as co-generation.

I hope they really consider all the economic costs this will bring to the taxpayer.

Why would “cash strapped” local governments want to monopolize, create “Public-Private Partnerships” with our energy, water and open space?

Natural gas is cheap and plentiful.

Hmmm…

I smell sumpim’ and it ‘aint apple pie.

When you can’t handle current obligations the obvious solution is to take on more.

Insanity.

Oh goodie! Another inept, unfunded pensions agency created withing the already inept, unfunded pensions agency which is Sonoma County.

Well if we can count on them to maintain the infrastructure for power as well as they do the roads, we better all take out insurance to cover the poles and lines which will be falling down all around us.

Lets see, the first thing they will now do is hire someone at a highly bloated salary to administrate it (see SMART Train). Next will be to promise that they will hire “local” labor to staff it (while they give the majority of the jobs to their dysfunctional relatives) And lastly will be to raise the rates on a consistent basis while pretending to be “Competitive”

Anyone got Shirlee Zane’s phone number? I’ll get to call her to come out and fix things next time a tree takes out the power lines.
