San Bernardino County Third District Supervisor Neil Derry left. Former San Manuel Manuel Tribal Chairman James Ramos right.

County supervisors earn six-figure salaries, control millions of dollars in spending and serve a vast population. But at its heart, the race for a supervisor’s seat is run like much smaller campaigns — door to door, voter by voter.

Ramos is NOT a Republican in spite of his deceptive mailers
Why does Ramos have two mediocre “businesses” in spite of his $1.5 M annual income from San Manual Casino?
What happened to his two other “businesses” ???? Oh, they failed. “Leader in business” ????
Derry served PROUDLY as a MARINE …
Ramos served proudly as a Casino person …
Why doesn’t Ramos show his face and voice to us little people?
Why did he skip away from all the forums he was invited to speak (not even debate… just softball Q and A’s)?
Do regulations and other impositions apply to Ramos if he becomes Supervisor (yet he lives on Indian Sovereign territory)? Why not have a citizen from China, North Korea, France, Australia, Iran, Germany, Mexico, etc. become supervisor and impose stupid taxes on to us?

And he is now serving, according to his probation officer, as a model probationer.
#6 you have NO idea the involvement of MIKE Ramos in all of this. Just stay outside of your playground
Ramos is a unamerican. He is unfit to sit in any office the filth
Tax dodger.
#2 ANONYMOUS:
Failed businesses? No, they were never meant as LEGITIMATE businesses, they were “store fronts” for James Ramos’other business partners- the Mexican and Russian Mafias.
Which brings up a “Point of View” rant by Wesley G. Hughes. The problem was not that Hughes “disagreed” but that it was outrageous and OOZING with hate and lies.
There, Wesley Hughes, proceeds to venomously attack a legitimate fellow journalist, John Berry, who long has a reputation for being an honest and ethical reporter-no slants.
I may have jumped the gun when stating earlier that Supervisor Gary Ovitt’s “emergency ordination” was too late, and “that the party was over.” Truth is, lies and hatred will rear it’s ugly head and work through others- willing participants such as Westley Hughes- and we must be always on alert to not give it a voice or opportunity to flare.
Westley’s willingness to participate and side with Mike Ramos’ web of destruction is alarming. By allowing Ramos to VOICE his lies and attacks on fellow honest and ethical prosecutors DISGUISED in some “point of view” distorted “opinion” article, was unprofessional and evil. A legitimate article should have pressed for answers, NOT some crazy “opinion” meant to cause confusion. It’s a good thing Westley is retired, The Sun was not forced to move in a little bit closer only to be distracted and thrown off course by Hughes’ hatred and distorted dishonest point of views and warped self-serving opinions.
…one good thing surfaced…Mike Ramos admitted to what this blog has been saying all along…the MEXICAN MAFIA IS ALIVE AND WELL AT THE SAN MANUEL RESERVATION…
NO, THEY DID NOT ” WORM” THEIR WAY, AS RAMOS SAID, THEY WERE WELCOMED, AND THE MAFIA PAYS JAMES RAMOS AND MEMBERS A HEFTY “PROFIT”…WHICH TRICKLES DOWN TO MIKE RAMOS, HOOPS, ETC.
BLOODY “RED”…
You are wounded…
you do NOT fool anyone by using “Anonymous” over and over like a nut…
and making hateful stupid remarks in order to have it appear here as if Derry’s supporters are racist
…that is a typical pattern of DAVE ELLIS…those who have worked with, if you call it work, Dave Ellis KNOW HIS juvenile TACTICS OF TAKING “BOTH SIDES” OF A CANDIDATE or issue, IN AN ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE…

Yea , it’s always someone else’s fault.
And as far as
“Just stay outside of your playground” . What in the world does that mean?
Why doesn’t Ramos show his face and voice to us little people?
Why did he skip away from all the forums he was invited to speak (not even debate… just softball Q and A’s)?
Because Ramos can’t put together two sentences on his own without consulting his handlers or his binder of approved statements. If he ever showed up to any forum everyone would see him for the fraud and incompetent fool he really is.
At least James isn’t the bigoted asshole Neil revealed himself to be in this article.
#14 – It Figures … why are you stooping to your level of intellect? Truth hurts?
@14. How is Derry a bigot? It’s your boy that has contempt for white people. Ask any former empolyee from San Manuel.
why wont ramos speak for himself? i thought his mba from u of r would have given him some public speaking skills….
#13 LOL,”…binder of approved statements.”
THAT’S FUNNY AND SADLY TRUE. SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE PLAYED A JOKE ON RAMOS AND HID IT FOR A DAY.
Anonymous Too states that if James Ramos “ever showed up to any forum everyone would see him for the fraud and incompetent fool he really is.”
From what I have heard, that’s precisely what happened up in Big Bear Lake, and public appearances have been pretty much non-existent since then.
I hope his supporters have done some rudimentary research into his qualifications, and are not just influenced by the local media and the Mike Ramos prosecution of his opponent.
Watch how much everything is going to help SanManuel in this city now you idiots !! Even though Derry wasn’t that great,we live one block from the casino, have to put up with the traffic and their damn noisy AC all day and night, they do absolutely nothing in our community to better our relationships, I can imagine who all voted for him,looks like your money from the casino is feeding hi fat ass pretty good,that IS the worst low life casino I have ever been in and I won’t go back, too many druggies in there !!!
“I can imagine who all voted for him,looks like…”
They all look like Ramos, Derry does NOT have his OWN sovereign nation to come out of their Reservation and vote for their true “Leader”

The Sovereign Citizen Movement
“Today, we look at a third threat—the “sovereign citizen” extremist movement. Sovereign citizens are anti-government extremists who believe that even though they physically reside in this country, they are separate or “sovereign” from the United States. As a result, they believe they don’t have to answer to any government authority, including courts, taxing entities, motor vehicle departments, or law enforcement…”
