I think it will be very easy to prove Ramos has “unclean hands” in this case.

While some of these proposals may be workable individually, collectively they cause problems. Keep in mind that any limitation on the authority of the Board of Supervisors needs to be tested as a limitation on the authority of the people who elect the Supervisors. This proposal seems to transfer power from the people to the beauracracy.

The sherrif and the district attorney have professional, technical functions. Their roles could be filled be an appointment from the Board of Superviors. To prevent a crushing political machine from being formed, in California the positions are directly elected by the people in parallell authority to the Board of Supervisors. Ramos risks encroaching on this separation of powers by seeking to limit the power of the Supervisors (people).

If the hands of Ramos were proven to be truely clean, then his input in this manner might be truely appreciated. If his hands are sullied by selective prosecutions to favor his own political machine, or if he is using his power to cover his own personal transgressions, then his input is highly circumspect.

Ramos,

The way you disrespect your wife and family is enough to vote you out.

Now you actually think you have the right to run the entire county.

Shame on you.

This positon paper was a blunder.

Ramos can’t even follow what he’s proposing.

Amazing.

Is someone going to challenge this moron.

I hear he failed the State Bar exam the first time and went to an unaccredited law school.

What a loser.

Ramos has to attack now cuz if he doesn’t that will only mean he is part of the corruption. We all know what’s going on and we’re eagerly watching with our popcorn and glasses on!

All the “white paper” is good for is for Devilreaux to use to wipe Mikey’s ass “clean”.

I will vote for DA Insider if he/she chooses to run for the DA office.

If this isn’t re-election campaign propoganda, Ramos has something on the Chinese.

This is just another stunt for re-election. See it for what it is.

No gift policy! The DA’s Office has had a no gift policy for over 10 years. Stout enacted it while he was DA. The only one that doesn’t follow it is Ramos. Maybe he should have his jack booted investigators do an internal affairs investigation of his violations of the department policy. Or are they too busy picking on his political opponents and low level former mistresses. He could have his girl friend Ruth Stringer hire an outside law firm to investigate and make sure they have “appropriate” instructions so they ignore everything but what they are told by County Counsel. As for the cowards on the fifth floor, isn’t enough enough.
