Sonny

appears to be just another temper tantrum

Gary Earle, Noleta mouthpiece, anti poor people and in bed with Travis Armstrong, accuses Carpinteria of dumping farmworkers in Noleta.. screams at Board of Supervisors and accuses Wolf of "breaking promises".. is this the bruising the NewsPress threatened? Gee, what's up with the folks in Noleta..is their motto "protect our tract homes"?? If we want a building moratorium, then we need to vote for it..I'd support it. Until then, the county is going to plan and allow development..PERIOD! Nothing has changed.. if you object to a proposed development, you go and voice your opinion at the meetings..you may win, you may lose, that's life, get over it. Where was Travis at the BOS public comment section....hiding behind Wendy McCaw as usual!

If I wrote a letter to elected officials telling them: if you don't do what I want you to do, I will make your remaining time in office extremely bruising and hard, I'd be arrested for harassment or making threats against a person..

The Board of Supervisors should publicly condemn the NewsPress and demand a retraction and apology.

Then, they should look into a legal remedy...

The Booze Brothers

Armstrong, Armendariz, & now Gil Armijo with Joe Centeno as chief enabler..

Centeno aid and supervisor hopeful Gil Armijo, recently busted for DUI

Watching the news last night, John Palminteri was interviewing Gil Armijo. Armijo is Supervisor Joe Centeno's right hand man who intends to run for his seat when Centeno retires. The story is Gil accused the new sheriff Bill Brown of fiscal malfeasance scarcely a month into Brown's tenure as sheriff. The reason for the whistle-blowing is because Armijo was busted for DUI! I guess he wants to get back at someone for his own stupidity..the guy's an alcoholic in denial.

Recently, the Santa Barbara County Taxpayers Asso tried to sell a glowing report to the county about the social and economic wonders of the Chumash Casino. I challenge them to commission a report on how much the taxpayers are doling out to clean up after drunk drivers..many of whom are members of the same taxpayers association!
