Resigns?
More like he is RUNNING AWAY before he, like Mel Albiso, is exposed!
Armenta MUST realize that the LONG ARM OF THE LAW reaches to Orange County also!
He should have either stayed and solved the $180 million deficit or resigned in time for a competitive election. The healthcare co is Planned Parenthood. Goodbye Robert!
Another lens on Albiso, CSUSD union hated for cuts, now they are insolvent.
San Bernardino School District is not insolvent. Mel’s crime was trying to be like non-Hispanic white managers and Mayor Morris clown, nepotism.
Many managers at top SBUSD hiring their kiddos and in- laws. Nepotism huge in SB Cty, dynastic. Riverside CTY bullying report from Grand Jury is the first nail to the Wild West IE culture, where you follow “the help” and threaten them for taking daddy on through the channels at work.
County employees would grumble all day long about preceived preferences for no longer minorites and then when ask where what about so and so and so and so and so so qualified kid?.. Their response: thats how it is and you have to accept it.
I am defending Albiso nepotism. I just want the other offenders outed.
Sorry typos, screen small on hand devise. Clarify I do not defend Albiso nepotism.
Carol, sounds like a huge “can of worms” needs to be opened-up, because it all gets down to the public sector employers supposedly being Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE) shops… that really should mean a level playing field no mater your race, religion, ect. Now days, “reverse discrimination” is the norm, as well as the kind of nepotism that you are describing as being rampant in the IE, as well as the good old boy stand-by outright political favoritism.
The public workplace, at the administrative/ upper management level (now calling themselves “Executives”), has been turned into a completely hostile environment, where managers are actually encouraged to create ethical beaches of the public’s trust, by failing to protect our health safety and welfare. BTW, if an agency is not an EOE, they stand to loose all of their federal funding! Wake-up SBCo., Redlands, Rialto, Chino Hills, Moreno Valley/ RivCo. and Diamond Bar (especially), this could really become a big ELECTION ISSUE real quick, u too could LOOSE ALL FEDEAL PASS-THRU FUNDING if u r not considered an EOE by the feds.
Dear Feds (& definitely RivCo. Rep. Issa), time to stop these rouge agencies from squandering taxpayer money on “pet” employees, contractors and consultants by CUTTING OFF their funding at the knees. The private sector is poised to take-up the slack (with more private sector jobs, probably at a ratio of 2 or 3 equivalents to 1 supposed “public servant”.
A BA in political science from CAL-state San Bernardino? That’s just like Derry. What kind of nonsense are they teaching there? This is as bad as Claremont Mckenna.
Yep, feds need to look at IE. Back to fundamentals.
