Some piece of crap kicked a woman’s car door in at South SALINAS’ Nob Hill grocery. The woman had three kids in her car and was scared. A witness came to my house to tell me about the crime because this dude was following him on a bike. He knocked on my door and I was home.
Part 2 🤣

So I come out and this dude is talking smack to the witness, who is now a victim. The suspect comes up on my driveway and threatens the witness. So I gotta go back in my house - get my shoes on 🤣 and deal with it BUT

@SalinasPD (for once in a while) is in South.
Part 3

When I came out the door with my shoes on the suspect took off on his bike. (Yeah it’s a mentally ill unsheltered living on the Block dude). He blurts out my house number, says he will remember it and makes it down to the Temple Beth El which is at Riker and Nissen.

@hometheater_z @TinaForSheriff @WendyRootAskew @knowledge1422 @supervisoraskew I did read that one. So my take on that, without having talked to the officer, is … Miller had multiple complaints filed against him when he moved over to Pacific Grove (his home town) to become Chief. Miller had bogus complaints filed because he was ripping through corruption
@hometheater_z @TinaForSheriff @WendyRootAskew @knowledge1422 @supervisoraskew at @PacificGrove city hall. It was really bad. (Guess who was on the front line of that too? ME). A couple scumbag @PacificGrovePD cops and a dirt bag meter maid filed complaints. All buddy buddy people with a sleazy mayor named Morrie Fisher

I wanted Miller to arrest Fisher btw
@hometheater_z @TinaForSheriff @WendyRootAskew @knowledge1422 @supervisoraskew @PacificGrove @PacificGrovePD The scumbags work out Miller getting fired. Wrongly. Miller sued and won, of course. The corrupt CM had arranged for a no at-will contract for Miller when they solicited him to come over from @JohnCarloMurray’s @SalinasPD. Miller and my mom left @CityofSalinas willingly

What do I really think about @WendyRootAskew’s chances for re-election in #Election2024?

1. Askew has incumbency on her side, think @stevemcshane on @CityofSalinas or Kimbo Craig as Mayor having just BIFFED it in her favored supe bid. (Craig was re-elected)

2. ((People))
gave Askew $450,000 +. While that pales compared to McShane when he lost to Askew by 2,000 voted (McShane raised over $1,000,000 - that was reported to the @CA_FPPC) it’s a SHITLOAD of Interest money

3. Askew’s talking points are in line with what the community needs - generally
WHERE does Askew fall short?

1. Authenticity. Wendy has foolishly aligned herself with the scum of the scum in local politics. My belief is she did it for another SLEAZY Democrat named Plasha Fielding Will who takes money from Right Wing (the crazy kind) folks like SVLG.

What was sexual predator fmr. Police Chief Kelly McMillin’s relationship with narco trafficker Soxie Silacci, District Attorney @JeanninePacioni? Other than landlord …

because this was Soxie’s chemist in the cocaine biz in the 70’s and 80’s - until he went on vacation.
Don’t be worried @JoshCopitch, you and @FelixKSBW are buddy-buddy with all the cool people like trafficker Mike Hackett and this is just * conspiracy theory I’m sure.

* fun fact, it’s not conspiracy theory
Because Soxie Silacci’s chemist got raided by the @DEASANFRANCISCO in the 1980’s, @JeanninePacioni.

Not good when the Florida and New York, Canada boys don’t need any more attention.

Kelly McMillin is a sexual predator. How many right wing Christians backed him in all he has done to #Salinas? @JoshCopitch

.@CityofSalinas mayor @kimbleycraig was keynote speaker at Christians in Commerce’s Christmas gathering.

She thanks Jesus Christ for all he has given her and then went on to talk about all she is doing for #Salinas. It turned into a promo for Kimbley.

She brought an entourage.
2/

Part of that entourage was fmr. mayor Dennis Donohue (who should have gone to federal prison for his role in local fraud). Donohue gets up and gives himself credit for saying (something Dennis does) “You know, she’s going to me Mayor someday”. As though that’s achievement.
3/

Full narcissism on display at a gathering that is meant to celebrate the selflessness of Jesus Christ - the politicians can’t stop themselves by Me talking.

No one brought up Kimbley Craig and the other failed supe candidate @DennisDonohueD4 being the two promos of McMillin.

@Tigerpaw101 @RepJimmyPanetta @cmarinucci We do know for sure - and one of cocaine trafficker Mike Hackett's donations to Panetta is recorded in the FEC database.

We also know Plasha Will has taken in hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash from Panetta donors. Will is Panetta's consultant and confidant.

AND ...
@Tigerpaw101 @RepJimmyPanetta @cmarinucci We know through interviews with sources (as does @Calkins_Royal and all of our notable paid local press) that felon Mike Bitar commissioned a custom desk for Jimmy Panetta and that desk was made by sleazy retired @SalinasPD copper Gabe Carvey during Panetta's first run for Cong.
@Tigerpaw101 @RepJimmyPanetta @cmarinucci @Calkins_Royal @SalinasPD That custom desk was parked at 115 Cayuga St. in Salinas. HQ to Grupo Flor a suspect cannabis operator headed now by Bitar.

That HQ is within walking distance of DA @JeanninePacioni's office but Jeannine doesn't have the fortitude to investigate, as she should. @Acosta #Salinas

Good work @downinmonterey. Helen Kingsley was my grandmother who passed away in 1992 in a car accident. She was only 68 at the time. My grandmother was a fine community member and Dave Mora and the city council named a wing at the community center after her.

journalists should take a deep dive into Rivas and his longer term relationship with a corrupt @CASenCaballero, who while Mayor of #Salinas committed various crimes that I can document - and wrote about to US Attorney Kevin Ryan at the time. (Nothing happened).

Caballero, often with the "brothers Rivas" by her side, abused her role as Mayor and was deeply involved in many criminal corruption acts.

The largest of those was the @CityofSalinas deferred compensation PONZI. No official was investigated or prosecuted for this scam.

Hoy denuncié cómo, en la reserva #BahíadeJobos en #Salinas, han deforestado y rellenado el mangle, construido ilegalmente casas de playa y amenazado a la comunidad para que mantenga silencio, con el aval de agencias estatales y federales. Fotos: 2014, 2021.

En el 2018, la NOAA ya había advertido al DRNA sobre construcción ilegal que interfería con los objetivos de conservación e investigación de la reserva #BahíaDeJobos, pero la destrucción en el área conocida como Camino El Indio sólo se ha acelerado.
