Many people hope that the BOS and others who read this blog understand that the complaints being brought forward regarding ARMC are about patient safety and about providing the kind of care that we would want for ourselves, our families and loved ones to receive if they were patients at ARMC.

The concerns being brought forward are valid and should be investigated. Hopefully more patients will not be injured or die before something is done about it.

Thank you.

Derry hires Erwin, with the approval of a vote from the other BOS members. I don’t remember them, or the CAO Uffer, County Counsel Stringer, District Attorney Ramos, Sheriff Penrod speaking up to tell everyone Erwin is a crook.

Don’t these fine examples of leadership have a duty to protect the County from a crook?

Now if you want to lump all those people in with Derry’s poor decision making, let’s go back in history some and look at ALL the past Sheriff’s in the County and what they did and who they appointed or help become their successor? All those Sheriff’s have had some serious scandals under their leadership.

Now we can take SEBA President William Abernathie and his endorsement of DA Ramos and Sheriff Hoops, both of which have some serious issues surrounding them. The deeper you dig there, the dirtier things will become.

Other than Ramos and his parade of “I am bitchen” and will clean up corruption, Derry is the only one his is speaking up and don’t have any cover ups or scandals that he created.

Oh forgot to mention some of us are forgetting that Erwin was the one who brought wrongdoing to the attention of Ramos and THE COUNTY had Erwin sign a contract promising not to sue for the issues in the Assessors office.

And I will submit Ramos knew long before Erwin’s arrest about his trip to New York and the colonies issues too. Someone will always yell foul when you choose to stand around with your thumb up your butt and not take action quickly as in this case. People concerned about crime and corruption act quickly, not years or months later.

My point much bigger issues past and present floating around other than Derry hiring Erwin.

I’d pick a stronger platform to complain on, than Derry’s hiring practice.

Ramos fired this scud, not Derry.

The Sheriff has no such policy as can be seen from what occurred during the 2002 election. By the time that I was cleared it was too late. The fact that the AG told the Task Force early on that there was no violation of law notwithstanding. They continued for eight more months. They then leaked to the press that they were investigating my office knowing that I would not have the chance to clear myself before the election. Mike Ramos told the voters repeatedly that I was “under investigation”. That mere fact is the sole reason that he is in office today
.

I think Cialis is more appropriate for Ramos. Isn’t it longer-lasting.

So let me be real clear — the DA is an opportunistic enforcer looking to take out political opponents through his prosecution tactics. He also seems to be popping viagra as vitamins and can’t seem to realize that they don’t make him invisible. But nobody on that Board can talk about fighting corruption when you look at their campaign coffers and see how they cross endorse, fundraise for one another, and turn a blind eye and a deaf ear when they are hiring their chief of staffs.

What? The truth hurts does it?

Derry is right on. What’s good for Ramos isn’t good for everyone else? A “Do as I say, not as I do” District Attorney is a dangerous person. You criticize Derry for hiring Erwin, but at least Derry doesn’t run from it.

Take a look at Ramos’ campaign finance documents.

Ramos has accepted money from SEBA, Jeff Burum, and others you say are sources of corruption in this county.

Isn’t it interesting the county prosecutors union supported Derry, who is the only one on the Board of Supervisors attempting to make a difference?

Who’s the hypocrite now?

I’m glad Erwin helped Derry beat Hansberger.

Everybody in the political process in this county knows what Jim Erwin does and how the Colonies Partners targeted Hansberger because he opposed the “settlement”. So, yes, the DA is a hypocrite. But so are you Supervisor Derry.

One of the finest examples of double standards by far.

And a fine example of how Ramos and others like him think all of us are stupid and will drink his kool-aid.

Hopefully the pens full of sheep are getting smaller.

Thank you Mr.Derry.
