So, about those raises...
The D.A. got a 13% raise (6-4-3). As did all other elected officials, department heads and ALL county employees, EXCEPT the Board of Supervisors (3-3-3).

Don't have to guess - it was 21% OVER THREE YEARS.
ReplyDeleteAgain, we taxpayers take it in the shorts. What the hell is HDSO complaining about. With that high of a raise, you would think that they would say thank you instead of screw you. My hunch is that another political agenda is at play. Anyone wanna guess who it is?
Did this come in a plain brown wrapper or was it stuck on parking meters?
ReplyDeleteThere is only one elected Sheriff who would have received that raise. The deputies are in a separate category and so far I don't know if their raises have been decided as they were still negotiating about a month ago and I haven't seen anything else about it.
ReplyDeletedown goes Geist
ReplyDeleteNope you are wrong there 10:08 the 21% goes to the rank and file deputies over 3 years (with 2% of that as an immediate incentive to help bring recruits in fast. And I believe that it has worked because I hear that there are only about 2 unfilled spots at the sheriffs office now.
ReplyDeleteNo - this is about Bonnie’s quest for power. Systematically removing her opposition with the help of some very disingenuous persons who call themselves progs. There is a reason why this flyer only went out in the
5th district and only had Geist’s name and picture on it. This didn’t go to Bonnie's district with her picture even though she voted for her own raise. Nor Jimmy who also voted last time for the raise. Nope - only Geist. The reason is that Bon Bon et al wants her gone. (See Jimmy doesn’t like Bonnie's death stare so usually backs down when she gets her back up.) Kerrigan is the solution. The plan is for him move to the 5th district because he termed out on the EKA city council and has decided to eat from the political trough for the rest of his life. This is how he will do it, by moving and running in the 5th. And I am sure Chris Lehman is involved to given his past history of moving to the county to become our next career politician. I also believe that he is involved with HDSO. So.... you play connect the dots. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist.
couple that with heraldo and you have a multipronged attack
ReplyDeleteI had heard Kerrigan was going to move to the fifth district to run since Bonnie is already getting her next campaign contributions started for her next term and he was supposed to get her seat. I don't think Bonnie ever liked Jill from the beginning. A couple of times Jill has gotten back by getting someone to make a motion and it went 3 to 2 against Bonnie with John being the other yes. Will the Marky Mark be just another pawn for Bonnie so looks like she will control the board for a few years with Clif getting in. I have noticed the death stare at Jimmy and have to agree - he caves.
ReplyDeletekerrigan is just wrong!
ReplyDeletedid he ever finish college? DR? HSU? does he have a real job?
Pretty hard to feel sorry for Geist. She has been unresponsive to her district save a few "special" exceptions. She could be another Neeley if she only had the skill.None the less truth is truth and this mailer is a slimmy piece of work. Let the games begin as the 2010 elections are not far away.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the mailer would be fair if Garcia had included all the Sups that voted for the raises - He didn't. That would be Neely, Geist and Woolley.
ReplyDeleteIt is also disingenuous and in fact downright dishonest to imply that the HCDSO Deputies did not get raises, when in fact they got a 19-21% raise in addition to all the overtime pay they wrack up.
You all know that I am a big fan of the Sheriff's Deputies, in general, with deep respect for the tough jobs they do on a daily basis.
This mailer is beneath them.
And it begs the question - what is Garcia's problem, and who is Garcia working with? Why DID this mailer coincide with the heraldo attack post?
I think it is possible that the printing company involved here shipped this one out at the wrong time - shipped it when they mailed the postcard endorsing Clif Clendenen - and not one of the Supervisors who voted AGAINST the Sups raise, Johanna Rodoni, and Jimmy Smith
Something doesn't pass the smell test.
And, quite honestly, if he wants to get upset, he ought to be upset at GALLEGOS getting a raise for destroying the District Attorney's Office.
He also ought to be asking what defending the piece of shit Measure T has cost the County thus far - and what it is projected to cost.
ReplyDeleteMeasure "T" !! Another Humboldt County jewel/joke.
ReplyDeleteIt is/was a piece of shit "Measure" that local whackaloons and big pot growers money got on the ballot.
How much has Measure "T" cost? How much did the pursuit of the PL case cost? How much did the sham of going after D. August cost? And did I leave out Gunderson? Oh yes and how much did it cost going after former Chief Douglas and Lt Zanotti on the Moore case?
How much money has been pissed away by the county, by victims/suspects because of bad judgement (at a minimum) or in pursuing personal vendetta's by the DA? And he gets a raise to his already heafty salary.
Don't worry,be happy. Uncle Obama is on the job. The milk and honey is'bout to flow our way.
