.@CityofMonterey is really trying to sell the public (because the council has made up its mind), on the safety of legal marijuana sales.
Look people. Sales of marijuana IS safe.
The people you (city officials) are jumping in business with are the problem. It isn't the 420.

It's beautiful to again watch @MontereyPolice gloss over organized crime within Monterey County marijuana.
Hober's report is embarrassingly unprofessionally. It's about as good as former Salinas Police Chief Louis Fetherolf's "state of the city" report a bunch of years ago.

IT WAS SO BAD (Salinas) the officials scrapped the entire report and redrew the parameters & tone. It was a white wash.
Y'all locals know who the Senior Deputy City Attorney was then?
Christine Davi - is the current city attorney for Monterey.

It's Thanksgiving week. What are you planning on doing in 2021 that will:
1️⃣. Ensure the @MCoSheriff department mandates the wearing of Body Cams and in vehicle cameras as @SalinasPD and every other MoCo agency has?

3️⃣. Establish a countywide Campaign Contribution limit that is rational rather than non-existent?

Folks, if our local elected officials can't answer key questions to the health and security of our community, they are not their to serve us. They are there to serve special interests and special interests alone.
These are easy questions to answer for anyone with integrity.

During the primary there was one Black woman running for one seat on the County Board of Supervisors.
The machine didn't back her and Louie Alejo backed Steve McShane. Something was askew and it's called politics as usual. #BlackLivesMatter #Salinas #Monterey

Durante las primarias, una mujer Black se postuló para un puesto en la Junta de Supervisores del Condado.
La máquina no la respaldaba y Louie Alejo respaldaba a Steve McShane. Algo estaba torcido y se llama política como siempre. #BlackLivesMatter #Salinas #Monterey

This is all true.
This is also Monterey County where the Monterey County District Attorney's office was complicit in letting a fired Monterey County Sheriff's Sgt. walk on two felonies while Charles McKee allowed the Sheriff to rehire him then promote him.

.@MontereyPolice have never run a credible investigation into major narcotics traffickers and money launderers with International relationships yet daily harass and abuse the homeless/mentally ill. It's a tourist cop shop who dress like they are going to invade Poland.

.@HaffaAlan has had discussions with @RepJimmyPanetta's Plasha Will on marijuana regulation in Monterey. Plasha Will is in business with Mike Bitar, a man who was charged with multiple felonies when he had a fast food franchise for failing to pay workers comp premiums.

Locally, we had a woman named Crystal Powser who filed a declaration with a court of law that was not only credible but contained facts that were not in dispute. The corrupt Monterey County bench sealed the declaration and Powser was made out to be a nut.

It was one of the worst treatments (publicly) by established figures on the Monterey County bench. Like Robert O'Farrell, like Stephen Sillman, like Michael Fields, like Russ Scott.
And Russ Scott is the sleazy Monterey College of Law graduate that threw out the crim case

Has anyone thought about this #COVID reality. People are going to work with a fever hoping it's not anything serious - because they don't have any sick time left, there is no support and they are broke.
This is an epic failure of government.

D20 makes approx. $200,000+ total compensation per year. He has never had to work for anything. Just show up. His wife was given a second judgeship by @JerryBrownGov in what Brown described as "unusual" (but did it anyway) and she makes over $200,000 a year in total comp.

Panetta's consultant received a multi-million dollar home in Carmel Valley from a rich Packard heir for a bargain, after living in it as a rental 4 a few years and after dumping her own property to foreclosure - not unlike Sheriff Bernal.

Paul Bruno will say what he said on Facebook - which everyone should delete IMO - in person and to anyone’s face.
This is a dude who got a wire cable out of his little man car to rope off some #BlackLivesMatter protestors who were making his girlfriend late for an appt.

“I think a lot of things were done that were amplified by the press. He was brave enough to make statements without focus groups and a teleprompter,” Bruno said. “He was on any television show that would have him, compared to Hillary who kept herself in a bubble.” (2016)

What is the involvement with the DOD? DIA?

You know the story about First Cabin, right @bradleyzeve?
Narco Trafficking operation. One of these #MontereyCounty vessels seized by the Nicaraguan govt.
Why?
And was “Charlie” Keeley, fmr. District Attorney Dean Flippo’s number two connected to this in any way?

I hope everyone who can, across the US, does everything they can to signal boost and protect @AOC. The CongressWoman is breaking norms and is therefore an existential threat to unchecked power.

@RepJimmyPanetta my local congressperson is all about dialogue while refusing to be bold. I remember having a conversation about it with a friend, grousing about 'Jimmy', the friend said Panetta can't do anything because he doesn't have any power - yet.
