Interesting: wonder if Mike Ramos is going to prosecute the Board of Supervisors for giving away $8.5 million in taxpayer funds because they were being threatened by a few property owners?
HOW many times have you all heard this crap in your lifetime?
County spokeswoman Felisa Cardona said the settlement is not an admission of liability by the county. She said the county spent $2.5 million in litigation costs and made the decision to settle for financial reasons.
I bet lawyers told Uncle Greg or the BOS, “we can win this”.
What are the FREAKIN TOTAL legal fees for this county in the last 5 years?
ANYONE?
A reliable source told me last night that a former-employee from the DA’s office that he knew told him that she came to understand that over 70% of the District Attorney’s expenditures is for LIABILITY INSURANCE!?
Is that because our lovable DA Mikey is a HIGH RISK, HIGH MAINTENANCE guy?
But it even gets better,,, staff is being harassed and terrorized, multiple examples of hostile work environment and constructive discharge of females in the DA’s office & the Courthouse.
Guess Mikey the Pimp has a real vicious sexual predator side, where he threatens those subordinates that deflect his advances telling them they might (NOT) WAKE-UP DEAD in some IE abandoned warehouse building… so DO ME instead!
If the insurance situation is in fact true, no wonder Mikey is always saying he needs “more, more more (how do you like it, how do you like Life (not cereal) now?… but he’s an attorney isn’t he (so what do we expect?)… and I hear he’s got a HUGE LIABILITY named Lil’ Mikey ,that thing he can’t keep in his pants.
P.S. Gretch, take him to the cleaners, u deserve better girl!
