Here’s some news of interest flowing across the transom this week.
San Bernardino County Supe’s elect Rutherford chair
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors unanimously elected Second District Supervisor Janice Rutherford as it’s new chairperson. Second District Supervisor Gary Ovitt will be vice-chair.
Interestingly, multiple sources confirm outgoing-chair Josie Gonzales was trying to maneuver a second term as chair. The idea landed with a loud thud.
What a surprise!
Benoit new chair of Riverside County Board of Supervisors
Supervisor John Benoit is the new chair of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors.
Jeff Stone will be vice-chair.
Kevin Jeffries takes post
Former State Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries became a Riverside County Supervisor yesterday. He replaces five-term Supervisor Bob Buster, who lost by a razor thin margin.
Special election set for 32nd Senate District
California Governor Jerry Brown has set the date for a special election to fill the 32nd Senate District seat vacated by U.S. Representative Gloria Negrete-McLeod.
The election will occur March 12, with any runoff occurring May 14.
Currently, Democrats Norma Torres (D-Pomona) and Larry Walker (D-Chino) are vying for the seat.
Walker has the endorsement and backing of Negrete-McLeod.
Ramos running for Assembly?
A new rumor has surfaced in the crazy dog-eat-dog world of San Bernardino County politics.
The latest? San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael Ramos (R-Redlands) will run against Assemblyman Mike Morrell (R-Rancho Cucamonga).
Morrell represents the 40th Assembly District and is termed out in 2018.
We’ll have to see if this interesting, but bizarre, idea pans out.
I thought it was Ramos (D-Highland) instead of Ramos (R-Redlands) that was going to run against Morrell?
How did the San Bernardino Sups discuss who was going to be the head sup without violating the brown act? They come out and vote for Jammit Rutherford and not Josie the fool. We need a new board!!
Mike Ramos is the worst. Please spend your money loser. You can’t beat Mike Morrell.
Tada, you ask,
“How did the San Bernardino Sups discuss who was going to be the head sup”?
== It’s easy! MONTY PYHTHON gave us a lessson on precisely that process this past weekend, you are new here and may have missed it, so here it is again:
DENNIS: I told you. We’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting– By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,– But by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major–
If District Attorney Mike Ramos runs for Assembly, who ever runs against him might set a state record for campaign contributions.
In fact, to quote Jerry Brown, it may be the largest war chest “in the history of San Bernardino County and maybe California itself”
It’s just a guess, but The Colonies partners and investors, some of the wealthiest people in the area, may be supporting Mr. Ramos opponent.
Smart move putting Janice in, she’s a smart individual and well deserving.
