This one was stupid too as she posted it all on Facebook on county time. Here is the file: TAD02 I’m too tired to write out the story but I think the .pdf file is self-explanatory. I’ve asked for one more document and will post if I get it. I believe the EEOC is investigating. The matter was swept under the rug by the county.

iePolitics: So Deputy Chief Ron Cochran . . . HI104
I hear you have some issues with iePolitics and with me personally. Since we have never met nor do I believe our paths have ever crossed, I have to wonder why. It seems that those in the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department who are concerned with the blog are concerned because they have something to hide. What do you have to hide?
p.s.: Not smart to dis me to my friends. You never know who my informants might be and then my radar goes up.
iePolitics: Boycott the Sentinel
From what I have been told, the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin has filed suit to block adjudication of The San Bernardino County Sentinel. For those that do not know, obtaining adjudication allows a newspaper to accept legal advertisements, which are very lucrative. Adjudication often is what keeps a newspaper afloat.
iePolitics has been very good to The Sentinel in the past, accounting for hundreds if not thousands of new readers. However, a few months ago Mark Gutglueck stopped sending us copies to post and stopped returning phone calls. This is likely the reason why (read caption under photo):
Barb, of course, is the narcissistic skank who can’t stand on her own two feet with her show so she has to use lies, deceit and thievery to get listeners. She will say or do anything, including federal crimes as she committed in the Desert Community Bank story, which got her fired from a local radio station. During the Vogler campaign when she was publicly stating she was Rita’s campaign manager, ET Snell had to convince Barb that it wasn’t wise to discuss on the air her (Barb’s) current treatment at the time for syphilis as it could damage Rita’s image.
iePolitics: Employees run amuck at Workforce Development
Well we see that nothing has changed under County Administrative Officer Greg Devereaux or his new Economic Development Agency chief. We have written extensively over the years about the problems with lax accounting and falsified statistics with job developers and job placement specialists.
Not long ago the positions were all reclassified, with some employees being given large raises. That has done little to promote productivity or integrity. Very high-placed sources tell us that, if anything, things have gotten worse.
iePolitics: A depo notice from Uffer
My morning started out just great! I received an email from my attorney that former County Administrative Officer Mark Uffer wants to depo me in his lawsuit against the county. I have to say that made my day. It’s been a long time since I laughed that hard.
Now, the real kicker in all of this is that the county has hired the exact same attorney to fight Uffer’s lawsuit as they have hired to fight one of my suits against the county. Yet, the county has to provide me with legal representation in the Uffer suit. This attorney actually had the gall to tell my attorney that he didn’t see a conflict if on one hand he is trying to pound me into the ground and on the other hand he is trying to get my cooperation in protecting the county from Uffer.
iePolitics: Observer – A response
Observer,
Once again, rather than trying to respond in a comment, I thought I would address all the issues you raised at once in a separate post. Or at least I will try.
You take issue with me over my attacks against Third District Supervisor Neil Derry. I realize I did not make myself clear in my last response.
Many things happen behind the scenes that never make it to the blog. Although to the readers, the attack may have seemed sudden, it was not. It was the culmination of months of emails and discussions, mostly with Neil’s chief of staff with some emails directly to Neil.
iePolitics: Did Matt Brown receive a bribe today to keep quiet before the election?
I know that I am not the only one that thinks the county of San Bernardino sunk to a new low today. The decision to pay off former Second District Chief of Staff Matt Brown is a slap in the face to all county employees who must face a real hostile work environment each and every day because they do not have the money for an attorney and the county refuses to conduct a legitimate investigation. County Administrative Officer Greg Devereaux and our Board of Supervisors should be ashamed of themselves.
Of course, this payoff begs the question of Why? Well, the answer is easy. A mistake by the District Attorney’s office has alerted corruption defendants to the fact that Brown was involved in attempting to get his boss, Second District Supervisor Paul Biane, on tape in an undercover operation. It would be highly detrimental to Supervisor Paul Biane’s re-election chances to have his former Chief of Staff tell what he knows before November 2.
iePolitics: A question for non-law enforcement readers
So we’ve got the cops on here taking us to task for pointing out things such as law enforcement officers committing DUI, hit-and run, assault under the color of authority, domestic violence, theft, etc. They seem to think we are tarnishing their reputation by publishing such information.
