SAN BERNARDINO — After delivering the legally required notice that he intended to start a recall petition against the city clerk, Rey Dandy Lachica got a letter saying the notice had been rejected – by the City Clerk’s Office.
After Lachica went to the county Registrar of Voters Office to fix the problem that caused the rejection – the address on his notice didn’t match the address on file with the registrar – he received another note.
“Today this office was made aware of additional information regarding how the Registrar’s Office handles matters regarding address discrepancies,” said the letter, which was sent Thursday by Deputy City Clerk Linda Hartzel. “In light of this information, please be advised that your Notice of Intention to Circulate a Recall Petition for removal from office of City Clerk Georgeann Hanna has been reconsidered, and it will be filed as of May 13, 2013, the date that it was delivered to the City Clerk’s office. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. ”
Lachica says it’s more than an inconvenience – he thinks it’s an intentional obstacle that reveals a conflict of interest.
“They tried to go around and do something so the recall would not be continued,” Lachica said.

WARNING: The Riverside County Board of Supervisors have given the -POLITICALLY APPOINTED- nod to the notoriously overpaid, legal whore, Steve Harmon.
Steve Harmon’s appointment came with the FULL KNOWLEDGE, by the RCBS, that Harmon would bring to the Public Defender’s Office a leadership NO DIFFERENT then the one he demonstrated for years at the Conflict Panel; which is his DISTASTE and LETHAL INDIFFERENCE for the INDIGENT, NAMELESS FACELESS, and most VULNERABLE of our society.
“Bozo the Clown” Harmon will no doubt continue with his LAZY, STUPID,
INCOMPETENT, and BAD legal advice and poor leadership as the new
Riverside County Public Defender.
Too bad all those defendants Steve Harmon wrongfully FRIGHTENED and PRESSURED into taking the deal can not appeal under the grounds that they were DENIED DUE PROCESS OF LAW!

Steve, “WELCOME”? You find it FUNNY to come on here RIDICULING and MOCKING us via this blog site?!
C’EST TRES BIEN! We accept this challenge from YOU STEVE! But I must first warn you that there could be consequences, you see, although we have been “temporarily distracted”…our FULL ATTENTION is once again back in the Inland Empire.
Listen very carefully Steve; “the cows” in the pen at the RCBoard of Supervisors gave you a “Politically Appointed” PASS, but as for me, I’m a Viking BULL, and YOU have me seeing RED (no pun intended Red Anon) I have become U N T I E D, and I’m coming “straight on for you!” I am going to trample all over your thinning, too perfect, and overly hair sprayed “red” hair.
YOU, Steve made a fatal mistake by coming on here with your LIES LIES LIES, about MY beautiful highly dedicated friends on the “management team” who go to work everyday with one mission- to NOBLY SERVE THE INDIGENT.
====== WOW- it’s not even Steve’s “FIRST DAY” on the job and Steve is here PUBLICLY blaming, lying and STAINING the NAME of the current long time management!!
====== WHY….Because Steve’s political FRIENDS and CRONIES from the Conflict Panel are SALIVATING at the promises Steve made to get them a job and free ride on the TAXPAYERS backs.
Well, I did send out an S.O.S. about HARMON to the Riv.Press Enterprise, but the view of the clouds from their offices must be too awesome and relaxing to want to bother leaving, rolling up their sleeves, and reporting on the stench suffocating and killing Riverside County and it’s residents.

……..
2. STEVE HARMON, a very shallow, sleek and shady fellow with an insincere smile and insincere intentions, and is not highly regarded within his legal profession outside his circle of yes men.
That’s not surprising from a man whose first love is politics-politics politics…shady politics- the more POWER and INFLUENCE the better for him! Harmon prides himself as a “mover and shaker”…yeap…and he uses his sleek phony smile and smooth words while throwing his weight around and laying down the law for his political bosses.
Harmon has been making it very clear for months that HE WANTS THAT POSITION— AND THE TIME HAS COME TO COLLECT ON HIS POLITICAL FAVORS!
Harmon’s only intention and interest in getting appointed as head of the Public Defenders Office is to increase his POLITICAL status, power and influence…should Harmon prevail, he will run his CURRENT POLITICAL MACHINE out of the Public Defender’s office, on the tax payers backs…”THIS WILL NOT DO!” (SBC is a bad influence).
Question is, how many qualified candidates were TOLD not to bother announcing their interest in the position because, like with Hoops, ———IT’S A DONE DEAL!

== Steve Harmon is a dangerous man, a true characteristic of him is his TOTAL DISREGARD and DISDAIN for those he sees as “nameless faceless indigent people BENEATH him” and although he is paid to serve them, he has instead, with full awareness, wronged them by not caring to learn and prepare for cases, he purposely frightens and lies to them about the consequences if they don’t “take the deal” and he destroyed way too many lives already by his uncaring and indifferent LAZY unwillingness to LOOK for defenses, or SIMPLY PRESENT and fight for the one’s before him.
We remember Steven Harmon as the one going around Riverside County screeching the loudest about how District Attorney Rod Pacheco wasted taxpayer money by his increase in NEEDLESS and FRIVOLOUS criminal case filings and trials;
=== YET HARMON CONTINUED TO SYSTEMATICALLY PRESSURE and FRIGHTEN defendants to “take the deal” …
=== RATHER THAN FIGHT THESE “NEEDLESS and FRIVOLOUS” CASE FILINGS; whether they had credible defenses or not.
WHY? Because Harmon was too busy with his OUTSIDE office POLITICS to want to “bother” with defendants he considers undesirable “nameless faceless people”.
Steven Harmon is just as dangerous politically, he does not bully anyone, he is more sinister and dark, he BEFRIENDS and COURTS one and leads them to believe they can trust him…all the while deceiving the one he is looking STRAIGHT in the eye!
