Now that the dust has settled over the hoop-la with the San Bernardino County union concession votes, we can see what is slated to occur at tomorrow’s special Board of Supervisors meeting, where the 2010-11 budget is scheduled to be approved.

The pain to be felt by sworn sheriff and district attorney employees who rejected proposed contract concessions? The deletion of vacant budgeted positions and a reduction in overtime.

That’s it.

I’m sure the San Bernardino Public Employees Association and San Bernardino Public Attorneys Association have that warm and fuzzy feeling right about now.

Sorry………

iePolitics: An Interesting Comment from Some Sheriff’s Deputies

I thought I would pull this comment out from another story to be sure everyone saw it.  This, folks, is what Bob Blough did to you:

An interesting note. While having lunch at a local establishment in Hesperia; three deputies were eating lunch in uniform. They were laughing how they will not be giving up any pay raises and the Sheriff will not lay off anyone. But…”the regular slags” in the county will lose pay and now be laid off. They all got a good laugh at our expense. How nice.

And for everyone, just remember my bloggers and I can be anywhere!

iePolitics: Another SBPEA Update

We have another possible attorney interested in our case.  My holdup right now is I need that screenprint of the SBPEA website in digital form.  I have someone who can get it to me tonight, but I need it now.

Also, there seems to be a lot of interest in ending Modified Agency Shop.  If the interest continues, I will work on getting the petitions together for signature gathering.  Ending Modified Agency Shop would allow all employees to drop out of SBPEA. Continue reading →

From an email:

What a coincidence, even our SBPEA President (Scott Ryan) was recently promoted to Superintendent of the Flood Control District, yes, the same flood control district where the 102 million dollar law suit originate from?   Also, it just happens that Scott Ryan is the chairman of the political pac committee that gave BOS Ovitt  50 thousand dollars.  Bob Blough wasted – 200 thousand dollars of association money and then took 200 thousand dollars from the political pac committee to pay the association bills.   Bob Blough refuses to show members his SBPEA credit card charges.

That, and a whole lot more things were sent to me this afternoon via email.  Okay, so what else is new?  What was interesting about this particular email is it came from a member of the SBPEA Board of Directors who voted to have me kicked out of the union almost four years ago when I tried to tell the Board of Directors just that.  Some people are slow!  :) Continue reading →

iePolitics: Update on Duty for Fair Representaton (SBPEA)

Posted on by Administrator

I have spoken with a couple of labor law attorneys today and this is what I learned.  Basically, the suggestion is to limit the claim to the San Bernardino Public Employees Association (SBPEA) only and not file against the county, which is fine as you are all going to have your chance to get even with the Board of Supervisors soon.  I’m hoping we will be able to announce that plan very soon.  For now we will concentrate our efforts on SBPEA and Bob Blough.  Here are some points:

  • By combining the vote, units were able to approve takeaways for other units, i.e., Clerical, etc., voted to amend the contract for Supervisors, etc., to alter their Administrative Leave.
  • There apparently were about 100 ballots thrown out by Bob that could have altered the outcome of the vote.
  • It is possible based on the slim margin that up to seven of the bargaining units may have rejected the contract changes.
  • SBPEA sent out false and inflammatory material during the vote to sway members.
  • SBPEA posted false information to its website to sway the vote.

As everyone already knows the concessions were approved on a vote tonight of 2385 in favor of giving up the six percent raises and other items and 2323 in favor of leaving the contract as it is.  There were several issues with the way the vote was conducted that should be grounds for an unfair labor practice (duty of fair representation) to be filed against SBPEA and possible an unfair labor practice to be filed against the county of San Bernardino.

The Fresh Start Initiative

SHERIFF PAUL SCHRADER 2ND AMENDMENT SHERIFF

From the Headquarters of Paul Schrader, Candidate for Sheriff-Coroner, San Bernardino County.

There has been a cloud of corruption over the San Bernardino County government for the past decade. So much corruption that even elected officials who have not been involved in any scandals are viewed with suspicion by the citizens of San Bernardino County.

My goal is to give the citizens of San Bernardino County something that is desperately needed; A Fresh Start. That start begins with concerned, responsive elected officials. A Fresh Start with innovative plans and solutions to the challenges we face. Fresh, proactive leadership that will restore faith, hope, and the belief that a better future for our families and our children is not only possible, but is something we can accomplish together. No longer will the citizens of San Bernardino be barred from participating in the design of our future, your voices silenced or unheard. I pledge to you that there will be a Fresh Start in law enforcement, that you will be a part of it, your voice will be heard.

I will use my 27 years of experience in City, County, and Federal law enforcement together with your input, your thoughts, and your ideas to create a fresh, new atmosphere of cooperation between the community and law enforcement.

By joining together, you and I can make that Fresh Start a reality. Together we can develop a cooperation between the community and law enforcement that will be a model for other counties to follow.

If you believe with me that San Bernardino County deserves this kind of cooperation and leadership, vote for me, Paul Schrader for Sheriff, on June 8, 2010.

I thought I would waste keystrokes and point out one lie on the SBPEA website and likely in your ballots.  The contract will end 0n June 17, 2011 as stated.  However, the end of the contract DOES NOT allow the county to unilaterally  change the MOU.    The MOU contains  an Evergreen  Clause which  extends the contract until June 17, 2012 with no change in terms UNLESS BOTH SIDES AGREE.  That means you would get to vote on it.  Read page 92 of your MOU if you do not believe me.

We know from experience that the San Bernardino Public Employees Association does not have a clue as to what it is doing regarding political action.  Here are a few cases in point:

  • $60,000 to Supervisor Gary Ovitt, the same supervisor who is asking employees to give up their raises for the second year in a row AND face layoffs whether employees give up raises or not.
  • $5000 to Supervisor Paul Biane, the same supervisor that District Attorney Mike Ramos has named as John Doe No. 5 in a criminal corruption scandal.
  • $300 to Assemblyman Anthony Adams in the middle of a recall campaign.
  • $10,000 to District Attorney Mike Ramos amid numerous charges of hostile work environment.

Why?  Well for one, Bob Blough and Scott Ryan wanted front row seats at the State of the County address and they earned them with a $50,000 donation to Supervisor Ovitt.  As for the others, we can only guess. Continue reading →

iePolitics: The Vote to Give Up Your Raises

Posted on by Administrator

Someone asked in a comment the other day why iePolitics isn’t writing more about the vote to give up raises by San Bernardino County employees.  After four years of blogging, I have learned a few things:

  • Approximately 35 percent of San Bernardino County general employees will throw their ballots in the trash without opening them.
  • Of those employees who open their ballots, about 50 percent will bother to vote.
  • Of those employees who vote, a majority will do what SBPEA tells them to do without finding out if it is in their best interests or instead in the best interest of SBPEA management.
  • If by chance, a majority of employees vote NOT to give up their raises, SBPEA will void the election and start over because they will insist employees didn’t understand what they were voting for. Continue reading →

Ken from IEpolitics wrote this article and Hoops has still failed to answer the questions regarding the Department’s mismanagement of the incident.

Katie Tagle has contacted me and said that the Department failed in many areas.  This is more of a reason why you need someone who will bring transparency to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. You need to elect Paul Schrader and bring a fresh start to the Department.

Furthermore Katie said the Department failed to start an Amber alert and laughed at her when she initially tried to report this. I receive emails daily from people wanting to know if  Hoops will come clean on this incident.

Candidate for Sheriff Paul Schrader discusses concerns from San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Staff.

Posted on by Administrator

SHERIFF PAUL SCHRADER 2ND AMENDMENT SHERIFF

During the past three months I have had discussions  of importance with some San Bernardino County professional staff,  deputies, detectives, sergeants,  lieutenants and 1 captain.

One area of concern is the Mini 14 rifle.  Most sworn staff do not like the Mini 14′s.  I prefer the AR 15 over the Mini 14.

The following evaluation is based on law enforcement evaluations in the USA. The Ruger’s Mini-14 is not as reliable or accurate as AR-15 rifles, which was discovered in an  impartial evaluation of the two rifles in a head-to-head comparison. I think we need to give the deputies the opportunity to purchase and carry AR 15′s on patrol.  I will also authorize them to take them home for protection.

I will implement the AR 15 program after I am elected sheriff.

Another area of concern is the Hoops’ good ol boy establishment in the Department. I will immediately begin to work on transparency within the ranks of our Department to break down the good ol boy system. This will help regain trust with the executives and staff in the Department. The promotion system and discipline system will be improved to help remove the good ol boy system. It will also be fair and transparent.

The last area of concern I will address at this time is professional staff.  I will ensure the professional staff receive the training and respect they deserve as members of our Department.

Thanks SBSD!!!!

I was at the county fair tonight. I have a picture of me on a hog, with some Victorville supporters.

Saturday I will be making whistle stops in San Bernardino in the Parade, back to Victorville for the fair, then to Lytle Creek for a meet and greet,  making a stop in Crestline for a meet and greet, last stop in Rancho for a meet and greet.

Paul Schrader has a clear global picture for the Department. This has been part of my fresh start initiatives since day one:

Fiscal Conservative

I would like to bring a Fresh Start to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department financing and budgeting reviews. I will appoint a volunteer committee to review the audit and devise solutions to maximize the use of funds currently being spent in the Sheriff’s Department, especially to make available the maximum amount of technology and resources to the Deputies working in the field and in the jails.

I will be exploring the possibility of using resources such video cameras in high-crime areas, electronic monitoring systems, shot spotters, and an automatic license plate recognition system to identify stolen vehicles. The feasibility of adding K-9′s and volunteers into the ranks will also be explored.

Hoops was appointed and has proven he can not manage this Department.  Averback has work the jail and patrol.  Averback does not have the experience to be sheriff.

I have the experience of 27 years in Law Enforcement. I am a supervisor in a merger team. I have supervised  audit teams, risk analysis teams, a legal unit, sheriffs headquarters operations, and I worked  patrol and the jails. I have also been in federal law enforcement and the Marines.  I will be able to look at this Department with a working knowledge of budgets and operations.  I will use my combined vast experience and maximize the use of funds. We can not cut deputies from this Department. Continue with Hoops and the deputies will go.  Averback does not have the experience.

Your choice is:

Paul Schrader  vast experience in law enforcement and proven leader.

Mark averback jail and patrol deputy with no experience to be sheriff.

Rod Hoops vast experience in law enforcement and has failed as sheriff.

Elect  Paul Schrader for Sheriff of San Bernardino County. www.sheriffpaul.net

Appointed Sheriff Rod Hoops Supports Supervisor Paul Biane in this election. Do we need a fresh start?

Posted on by Administrator

This is why we need a fresh start in the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.  I have been at meetings where Rod Hoops has said there are big problems on the 5th floor with the Board of Supervisors and he will not go there without a witness with him.  Then he supports one of the problems. I also received the flier with Hoops and Ramos together.  The voters get it.

Why do we need a fresh start? When you have a cloud of corruption over all county government and the board appoints the Sheriff, it is time to vote out all the incumbants.

What do I want to bring into the Department?

Transparency

As part of my fresh start approach to the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department, it will be my duty to see that the Department is above reproach in order to restore and retain the respect and trust of the public. My first objective is to make all areas of the Department transparent, especially the jails. There will be an open dialogue maintained with the community and community activists who have questions regarding the Department, including the jails.

In order to bring justice to those wronged and closure to those who have done right, I will have all internal investigations expedited. The community will know the truth, and Deputies will be treated fairly and in accordance with “The Peace Officer’s Bill of Rights”.

iePolitics: Are Abernathie and Eagleson Lying?

Posted on by Administrator
17

I have received a couple phone calls in the last couple days, asking several questions about SEBA station representatives and specifically William Abernathie and Mike Eagleson.

The first issue was a question about how one goes about recalling a station representative. I am told by a person in the know, you seek out those at your station who are not happy with what your station representative is doing. If you have a majority, put it on paper, approach SEBA and the Executive Board and present your case. I think you will need the names of those who wish their station rep to be replaced. Basically you need a vote of no confidence at the station level.

Since I am hearing more than a few complaining about transperancy, those who wish to recall their station reps might wish to approach ALL the reps at a monthly SEBA meeting. I think that might be the better approach at this time. LET everyone know what is happening versus just a couple. Continue reading →

Candidates Ed Montgomery and Paul Schrader Host Public Information Session on Victim notification GPS

Posted on by Administrator
Reply

Judicial candidate Ed Montgomery and candidate for sheriff Paul Schrader host a public information session on Thursday, May 20th in Rancho Cucamonga about GPS with victim notification. The candidates encourage all interested members of the public to attend because this information will save lives.

Victim notification GPS allows a potential victim of violence to be instantly notified when a person they have a restraining order against enters within the forbidden perimeter established by that order. When a potential threat enters the area a victim can use that warning to take evasive action and protect themselves. This technology prevents any chance meetings in public places in addition to locations outlined in a court order. Judges and law enforcement have the ability to independently verify the compliance to the restraining orders established in their court. Continue reading →

iePolitics: Mike Ramos Raising Money For His Legal Defense Fund?

Posted on by Administrator

That is the only logical excuse we can come up in reference to the fundraiser being held on May 20, 2010.  Among others, it is being sponsored by the San Bernardino Public Employees Association.  But this late in the primary and with the campaign war chest he already has, there is no reason for this fundraiser.  It’s kind of a bizarre fundraiser, don’t you think?

So we have to think Mikey is raising money for the various cases being filed against him, Cheryl Ristow’s being the first one we expect.  But remember she is not the only one.  So does his retained law firm, Greshem, Savage, Nolan and Tilden, handle criminal defense cases in federal court?  Maybe by the next reporting period we will know who he has retained.  Aren’t all of you county employees glad your union is spending money to help Mikey with his defense?  Check out his 460 if you don’t believe me.

It seems we are really making a headway in this election.  A few of my signs have been missing in action in some areas. I have had a couple pulled up 10 feet from two other candidate’s signs, one is an appointed candidate.

I have a picture of my sign attached, if you see someone walking around with one of my signs, they are either a supporter or a thief.  I think someone believes that’s the way to kill a grass roots candidate.

InlandPolitics Commentary: Public employee unions should consider layoffs – Part Two

I had the opportunity to spend some time yesterday discussing the current San Bernardino County’s budget situation and was able to obtain some feedback on the thinking behind what is happening, and to further explain my point that not reducing the county workforce now, will cause greater pain later.

Let’s face it. Signs of the current economic downturn were visible as early as 2006. I brought up the potential collapse in real estate prices and the effect on the county while working at the Assessor’s office then. I was laughed at by many at the government center.

No one is laughing now. Continue reading →

InlandPolitics Commentary: Public employee unions should consider layoffs

The “800-pound budget gorilla” is in the room for both Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, which is putting their respective employee unions in a critical dilemma.

Push wage and benefit concessions on their members or trigger layoffs. Layoffs cause reductions in union member rolls thus affecting revenue that supports operations.

In mild economic downturns, wage deferrals or not filling vacant positions can be a viable band-aid to get through the problem.

Not this time.

The current collapse in property and sales tax revenue in both counties is devastating, and will continue for some time. San Bernardino County, which has not been as aggressive as Riverside County in reducing its property tax rolls, took a 6% hit last year and is likely to take another hit of at least 9% this year. That’s 15% over two years. Continue reading →

An aggressive social media campaign has considerably upped Paul Schrader’s chances of gaining recognition and support in his efforts to be San Bernardino County’s next sheriff.

The 27-year law enforcement veteran works for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and lives in Fontana. He is joining local sheriff’s Deputy Mark Averbeck in challenging Sheriff Rod Hoops, who was appointed 14 months ago to finish his predecessor’s term. Continue reading →

This release is in response to the request for a grand jury probe into possible misconduct by high-ranking officials at the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.

4/8/2010

From the Headquarters of Paul Schrader, Candidate for Sheriff-Coroner, San Bernardino County.

As part of my fresh start approach to the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department, it will be my duty to see that the Department is above reproach in order to restore and retain the respect and trust of the public. My first objective is to make all areas of the Department transparent.

In order to bring justice to those wronged and closure to those who have done right, I will have all internal investigations expedited. The community will know the truth, and Deputies will be treated fairly and in accordance with “The Peace Officer’s Bill of Rights”. Continue reading →

Seems that the county can no longer afford subsidizing families while taking away health insurance from employees.  We hear that the county has proposed returning to flexible benefits dollars in lieu of the medical premium subsidy, which was Mark Uffer’s and Bob “Chicken Man” Blough’s brilliant plan to conquer and divide the membership so they would have more control.  Continue reading →

If there are any employees who actually believe there will be no layoffs, I have some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you.  Former county administrative officer Mark Uffer has left a mess behind so much so that some are starting to feel sorry for his replacement Greg Devereaux and the almost impossible mess he has to clean up.

This fiscal year it will not be a matter of layoffs OR giving up our raises.  It will either be both or massive layoffs.  Let’s see how Bob Blough explains this one away.  But that is not the real point of this post.
