Deputies' and correctional officers' associations: Moss' claims couldn't be further from the truth

E-mail Print PDF

Recent ads from candidate Joan Moss have implied that Supervisor Rob Brown is putting the public at risk by his business as a bail agent. We would like to respond by saying that this claim could not be further from the truth.

We as deputies and correctional officers have worked with Supervisor Rob Brown in his capacity as bail agent as well as county supervisor and can attest to his professionalism and utmost concern for public safety in each of his responsibilities.

As a bail agent, Rob Brown has successfully worked with law enforcement to return hundreds of fugitives to justice. Rob has done this at his own expense and often puts his own safety at risk to accomplish this.

As a county supervisor he has supported our law enforcement agencies. In fact, Rob Brown has donated his own time and financial resources to build a building that is now used to interview children that have been sexually and physically abused.

Hundreds of individuals who have chosen to harm our children have been convicted as a result of this state of the art facility that Supervisor Brown was instrumental in building.

The Lake County Deputy Sheriffs Association conducted interviews of both candidates for District 5 supervisor and, without question, the outstanding and most qualified candidate is Supervisor Rob Brown.

Both the Lake County Deputy Sheriffs Association and the Lake County Correctional Officers Association are proud to endorse Rob Brown for District 5 supervisor.

Mike Silva is president Lake County Correctional Officers Association and Gary Frace is president Lake County Deputy Sheriffs Association.

I was refering to the total lack of any mention of issues in this blog. The fact that the majority is conservative, and therefore favors out of county wealth to the needs of citizens, doesn't prove he is right. It only proves that we have to watch corrupt companies like Monsanto get the nod from our majority, and if that causes our farmers end up in court, seeing their life work disappear before their eyes, it will be our fault for allowing a conservative majority which reflexively votes for wealth and corporate dominance to "represent" us.

The problem is they don't. They represent the standard conservative things. The same wealth and power that democracy was invented to keep in check.

I find it ironic that Brown is blamed for anything wrong happening in Lake County. Even when the BOS vote 5-0 on the issues used by his haters to attack him.
I know it is hard for his denigrators to understand, but could it be that on most issues, the MAJORITY of the BOS agree with him? Oh, I forgot that the rules of majority apply only when your candidate or issue wins but not when the majority disagrees with you. That's the difference between dictatorship and Democracy.

@hbhbglenn. I have read the Voters' pamphlet several times. Could you point me where I can find in it, this so called list of positions and issues? Unless being able to play the guitar and compose simple songs is a valid position/qualification for a candidate.

It has always been the conservative tactic to obscure issues in order to induce people to vote away their representation.

{ironic font} I need to talk with Brown and learn his secret on how to brainwash his fellow BOS and subvert Democracy in favor of conservatism. smilies/cheesy.gif smilies/grin.gif

There's folks like Rob that you can tell where they are coming from even if you disagree. If you don't like him you shouldn't have let him run unopposed.

Sorry

I tend to insult BOS candidates who resort to assault and battery when they don't like the outcome they get.

It's a flaw I live with daily. Now I won't sleep tonight. smilies/grin.gif

Turn your underwear around, they won't bunch up so much.

So what do we have here?

Lots of insults on one side, on the other side a list of issues and positions. It has always been the conservative tactic to obscure issues in order to induce people to vote away their representation. That is what we have here. We - the people of Lake County - need to have representation. If the choice is between a person who doesn't care what people think of her, but still manages to get things right vs. a respected guy, who consistently votes for the desires of wealth instead of the best interests of Lake County citizens, why is that so difficult? Right now any greedy developer, or horrible company (Monsanto), knows they have more representation on OUR Board, than we the people. We should change that.

Joan wouldn't have voted for it.

Because the concept is over her head. Critical thinking and proper action is not her forte as so aptly demonstrated..

Stick with Rob folks
written by jazz, May 29, 2012
Joan is outspoken and colorful in her own "Joan" way but there is NO WAY she's a good fit for Supervisor. Rob is sharp and has busted his ass for Lake Co for many years. Stick with someone who works, don't take a flying leap.

Look no further than two things.
1. The statements of qualifications provided by the two candidates printed in the Sample Ballot And Voter Information Pamphlet
2. The list of People, Associations, Law Enforcement Agencies, Cities and City Councils, and other Agencies endorsing the two candidates.
The choice is simple and unavoidable: BROWN

Say what you want about Joan
written by hbhbglenn, May 29, 2012
The bottom line is she would not have voted for Cristalago, she would have voted to protect Lake Co. farmers from Monsanto, and she would have favored the longest standing Lake County citizens instead of some wealthy, out of county person, who wants to destroy a historical site illegally taken from it's rightful owners.

If thats what you call nuts, what do you call voting consistantly against the interests of Lake County citizens?
