SAN BERNARDINO – Monday was a good day for the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, especially board Chairwoman Josie Gonzales, who was sworn in for her third term.
“… This is with God’s grace the first time since I have been an elected official, that I can tell you we have a damn good elected county board,” Gonzales said during a swearing-in ceremony for herself and newly elected 1st and 3rd District Supervisors Robert Lovingood and James Ramos, respectively.
She believes the new board will be one sans animosity, special interests and hidden agendas. But more importantly, Gonzales believes strongly that the board, in its new configuration, will be one that can push the county forward without it having to take two steps back.
“I have every faith and can tell you that we now have a board that can communicate, that can discuss, disagree, and can arrive at a consensus by which thought has been processed, and opinions have been shared, and that the conclusion will be the benefit to the people,” Gonzales said.

Well, well well, now that’s just dandy!!!
All THREE NEWLY elected supervisors were SWORN in, and NONE chose the most APPROPRIATE individual ALREADY PRESENT and READILY AVAILABLE —RABBI Hillel Cohn — to swear them in, rather they chose their wife, daddy and a best-friend!!! O-Vey! …and we are to have a NEW beginning?
Jose Gonzales is more oblivious than I can process in my mind right now and explain…she NEVER misses an opportunity to let that stupidity shine through – RIGHT OFF THE BAT Josie tries to impress us by speaking of “God’s Grace” … but
UNFORTUNATELY, Josie is plain oblivious and only all talk about “God’s Grace”… she is too full of herself and SELF ABSORBED WITH HER POSITION OF INFLUENCE that she has no sense on how to take a hint from it, yield to it, or apply it in a way she most desperately needs …oh… and it’s too late for it to transform her in a way she could apply it intellectually or courageously…all she will ever be is hot air, and a puppet to those who have her stupidity pegged.
The most revealing quote that further demonstrates Josie’s blind stupid nature…I say “stupid” because this is THIRD term and she STILL can’t grasp and understand SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY POLITICS, IT’S PLAYERS AND IT’S PULL TOWARDS SELF-SERVING INTEREST….instead, little minded Josie still “believes the new board will be one sans animosity, special interests and hidden agendas”
Yes, Josie is easily impressed with the NEW PAINT and outer polished appearance of the new BOS and how they can all WARMLY sit around to discuss and disagree POLITELY, oblivious to what they hide in their minds and hearts and could ultimately lead to their self-serving ACTIONS.And that is the danger to San Bernardino County IF WE ARE NOT VIGILANT….WE CAN’T DEPEND BLINDLY ON THE NEW BOARD TO DRIVE US OFF INTO THE SUNSET!
Does anyone else feel the loss of Neil Derry already?
The BOS atmosphere seems off balance and lost without him, makes me wish Mr. Ovitt had a backbone to give us hope.
(I’m still counting on Mr. LaFonzo Carter, from the Sun, to be bring today’s BOS meeting to us!)
We hope and pray to GOD that the next time Josie is raising her hand it will be for some free government cheese.
Beautiful picture!
It captures Josie Gonzales’ ARROGANT attitude towards the “little” people of San Bernardino County who do not have an impressive TITLE after their name.
Go ahead, Josie, tell us your thoughts IN ONE PHOTOGRAPHIC SHOT…
=========== “TALK TO THE HAND” ===============
Yeap, THAT’S what we thought.
OMG I’m blind!!! I looked at her Hindass.
