The campaign for James Ramos, candidate for county supervisor in the Third District that includes Redlands and Loma Linda, released part of a letter Wednesday from the Fair Political Practices Commission stating his disclosure of economic interests are appropriate.
Ramos supporters said the FPPC’s enforcement division chief “today dismissed a frivolous complaint from a Neil Derry supporter that alleged improper reporting of Form 700 disclosure forms.”
A press release from Ramos’ campaign quoted part of the letter from Gary Winuk:
“This letter concerns the Fair Political Practices Commission’s Enforcement Division’s review of your complaint alleging James Ramos’ inaccurate completion of his Statements of Economic Interests.
“After review by staff, it was determined that because his Statements of Economic Interests were filed for several agencies, they appropriately reflect the different disclosure requirements attached to each position he holds, which leads to a difference in the levels of disclosure on each statement.”
The portion of Winuck’s letter released by Ramos’ campaign did not mention current Third District Supervisor Neil Derry, who is running for re-election against Ramos.
“This is the type of political gaming voters have come to expect from Neil Derry,” Ramos campaign spokesman Andre Levesque said in a prepared statement. “We knew all along these reports were a desperate attempt by Neil Derry to divert attention from Derry’s criminal past.”
Reached Wednesday evening, Derry said the FPPC did not dig deep enough.

One can have fun with this picture in many ways.
A fatherly word of advise.
“Hey James, this is what you need to say about this. Ok Mike I got it”.
“I am serious dude, these people don’t know about this stuff, so say that and no one will know any better”, Ok Mike”.
“James, one last thing, don’t answer any question either, just defer the questions to me, Ok Mike”.
“Now go out there and make us proud, Ok Mike”.
HA HA HA HA HA HA, Now in the public forum Derry couldn’t look more desperate……Neil, you should know that you had this election in the bag until you started following the advice of your campaign strategist.
Anti Corruption Unit…..They could also be saying, “did you see that guy whose balls are hanging out his pant leg? He just triped over his scrotum”
The mud and vile being slung by the Derry campaign didn’t “stick to the wall” this time. Expect the “mud machine” to continue with its accusations and raping type statements.
Anonymous, Derry does have this election in the bag. Under-the-radar James Ramos was going to try and buy this election, and as you can see in the picture he has finally been told that it isn’t going to work. Keep an eye on your mailbox boys and girls.
Hello:
Are you talking about a smear campaign like they were going to use against Postamus and Biane.
Nothing more than what’s already arrived, the unvarnished truth about both Derry and Ramos. There’s no smearing the truth, and the public deserves to know Derry’s accomplishments AND Ramos’ lack thereof, and Ramos’ gambling dollars and record on the college board.
Hello….. do you mean Derry’s accomplishment of being an ineffective supervisor because his involvement with corruption limited him in the execution of his duties?
BTW….from here on out, no one is going to take the smear campaign against Ramos seriously. You guys lost all momentum. This will go down in history as one of the worst run GOP campaigns ever run. Good job guys.
@ HELLO.. you talking about the “Republican Voter Guide??” Republican vs. Democrat?? Not your best work Derry.
Better than unauthorized pictures from Mitsubishi Cement with Ramos saying he’s going to create jobs.
He who laughs last laughs BEST!
Derry you have too much time on your hands to be going back and forth on here. shouldn’t you be serving the people of your district?
Re this pic: the fat, dumb looking Ramos on the right is the one running against Derry (running probaBLY IS NOT THE PROPER WORD. MORE LIKELY ITS WADDLING).
M. Ramos: “For the 100th time, you are running for the “third” district NOT the “first!”
J. Ramos: ” I’m so confused. I just don’t get it. I ‘want’ to run for the First. I DON’T LIKE TO BE THIRD IN ANYTHING? Money is not an issue, who do I see to redraw the lines so I can run for the First.
Okay, the name of the Mike Ramos/Brulte connection is LYNDA A. VOLLMER stationed at Rancho Cordova; at least she was in the early and mid 2000′s.
Vollmer is NOT the sharpest tool in the shed, but then again, are not these dull individuals the type that influential groups use to indirectly torment the lives of others.
That is what Vollmer did, she was a PASSIVE bully and a liar in her reporting and documentation. She was out to please the influential elected officials who wined and dined her.
Vollmer was calm and never batted an eye when she lied, twisted, and abused her position while bullying those under her investigation, and while falsifying her reports and causing anxiety and unwarranted worries.
Brulte is a vile slug, to say the least.
Tell me again, why Dutton endorsed this moron? I’m sure if he could take it back, he would.
The Ramos Bros. v. Derry (sounds like a RICO lawsuit in the making)!
Yo feds, think there might be some kind of conspiracy being discussed in the above photo (nice one Guy)…
DA Mikey: “I love all of this selected prostitution stuff, just a good thing for you Jimmy that I’ve got the legal counsel for the FPPC working for us too… they are attorneys, what would you expect?!”
James: “Hey Mikey, thanks for the words of advise about the Form 700′s, know that you and Gretchen had a little issue back when Jerry was the AG (those were the days) and worked it out with a little fine to the FPPC.
But no violation, no fine… Mikey you are a genius (and a lawyer too)! But then again, who would have ever guessed that a regular guy from the casino would be running for County Supervisor?
Would you have believed it Mikey? Now you and Dennis convinced me to run… I’m not going to have to do any of that prostitution stuff now, am I Mikey?”
DA Mikey: “Don’t worry Jimmy, be happy (U already R, for the “cause”)…
Not only is James Ramos a buffoon, but he thinks he is so CLEVER he can trick us, in the 3rd District, and sneak in lies about Derry in his negative mailers.
What now?
Well, in an attempt to smear Derry his new mailer quotes THE REDLANDS DAILY FACTS and THE DESERT DISPATCH…
…BUT the quotes had NOTHING TO DO WITH DERRY, they are TOTALLY UNRELATED STORY about OTHER INDIVIDUALS. I’m surprised Ramos didn’t have the 911 headlines and blaming Derry. That is the frightening type of individual Ramos is…BOLD AND OPEN DECEPTION, LIES AND DISHONESTY, ALL PART OF HIS CHARACTER and in our face!
If Ramos is elected, taxpayers will have to hire a ‘THIRD DISTRICT ASSISTANT SUPERVISOR” to go everywhere with Ramos, hand him notes, sit at every meeting directly behind his ear, and CONSTANTLY REMIND HIM THAT HE REPRESENTS THE 3RD NOT THE 1ST DISTRICT…and NO!! his boyfriend, D. Marquez, CAN NOT BE HIS ASSISTANT.
Of course Ramos is a slimeball. This fat pig is as slippery as they get. He truly is Gods joke on humanity…unfit for any office. Go back to your filthy blood sucking casino Ramos. Stealing from welfare addicts and supporting the mafia.
That bald headed clown of a governor is missing in this picture! The three Amigos!!
If James wins, who is going to pay for his bodyguards? And will the other BOS members want bodyguards too? Questions to ponder….
I remember Wert going around introducing himself by saying ” Don’t worry everyone I am not going to sleep with any union presidents to give out a lucrative contracts to anyone or Mr. Uffer won’t sleep with anyone either!” Uffer and Wert sure got a lot of laughs out of that mocking SEBA and it’s President guess who the president was? Give up here’s a hint he wants his gold rolex watch back, and he use to work for Neil Derry, and we wonder why Supervisor Neil Derry is on three years criminal PROBATION!!! VOTE FOR RAMOS!!! Now you know why Derry and Postmus wanted UFFER fired!!!! The Neil Derry CORRUPTION WAGON “I Will Fight For You!” It should also say “I am not a crook REALLY REALLY!” And remember I hate those TB Disease carrying Mexicans, Indians, and oh ya Mexican Mafia type. But Turner and I like the Arian Brotherhood maybe Turner and I should move to Colorado where there headquarter is Derry maybe thinking HMMMMMMMM.
#24 is a nutcase. Typical ramos casino filth.
Freedom…..The funny thing is that the first time I ever saw Turner I thought he was one of those light colored Mexicans. I sense some miscegenation in his background. Derry should E-verify him and check him for TB. You might also take note of how kinky Derry’s hair is. If he let it grow out he would have an afro and wind up loosing his constituency. Perhaps there may be some sickle cell in his background. It might be necessary for tea party voters to look closer into the background of these two.
Hey it’s the Red anonymous with the Casino monicker piping up again. Boy, you guys sure have your panties in a bunch! Ha Ha.
Red Anon,
AND JAMES RAMOS IS NO INDIAN, HE IS HALF MEXICAN HALF SAMOAN!!
I know why RED ANON blushes, his comments are so silly HE SHOULD BLUSH WITH SHAME!
Silly but true. You know you all had the same thought. Ask Neil to let his hair grow out, you’ll see.
Maybe Derry is albino.
I just got word that ALL the Mexicans are offended!
They say Ramos is Samoan or Guatemalan…
mr. neil derry has outdone himself. His latest flyer is filled with distortions and quarter truths about his opponent. Instead of showing any respect for the NATIVE AMERICANS who proceeded, he continues to take concessions that the GOVERNMENT has given to NATIVE AMERICANS like, property taxes/taxes, and making it sound like MR. JAMES RAMOUS IS STEALING FROM THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO. I will call these “DERRYISMS”. Here is a hypothetical list of “DERRYISMS” from a late night showman (using neil’s logic).
#10 Mr. Neil Derry stole from San Bernardino County
a sum exceeding $30,750 for annual retirement.
#9 Mr. Derry stole over $2350 a year from SB County
for his personal cell phone use in 2011.
#8 Mr. Derry abscounded over $6500 for health
insurance from San Bernardino County in 2011.
#7 Neil Derry is involved in theft to a tune of
$12,000+ for a 401K in 2011.
#6 Mr. Derry “took” .51 cents a mile for use of his
car in 2011.
#5 Mr. Neil Derry illegally received over $7500 in
2011 for his personal 401a.
#4 Mr. Derry impersonated a supervisor and stole
over $150,000 from taxpayers in 2011.
#3 Neil illegally took over $5750 in 2011 in
“Flexible Benefits”
#2 Mr. Derry gave himself nearly a 80% increase
in salary/benefits ($152,000 to $273,000) the
FIRST YEAR HE WAS SUPERVISOR
#1 Mr. Neil Derry, who got his dumb, white ass,
into San Bernardino County than Native
Americans, owes the county over $75,000
he was absent over 50% from sessions given
to a “constituted CEO”
ACTUAL FIGURES OF MONEY GIVEN TO NEIL DERRY IN 2011 FROM THE
RECORDS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTRY!!!!
Well done Marcus. Well done
San Berdoo doo COUNTRY, no wonder were all in such DEEP SHIT!
Wow, no wonder Derry is fighting tooth and nail to hold his post. It’s all about the money. Pay for this job should not exceed 75-80k a year. That goes for any supervisor.
It said that Anon in black would dare say; “Ramos is God’s joke on humanity!”. To bring up the Almighty to slander a Naitive American is a serious mistake for the Almighy loves us all equally! A bit of advice let us leave the Almighty out of this, to us his name to crush and slander a human being show a weak desperate soul, for Ancients in Proverbs say” Even a Fool appears when keeps his mouth shut and The Almighty is against the proud, the rich and the poor have one thing commen The Almighty is maker of them both!” Stay away from “Derry’s Corruption Wagon” to jump onto Derry’s Wagon the soft cussion your sitting on is Derry’s stinky BULLSHIT” Do yourself a favor Vote For RAMOS!!!!!!****** Victory For Ramos I forsee in the future!
