OOOPS, Not exactly - COMPARE THE DOCUMENTS

Looks like the press release was already written BEFORE the proclamation was approved. Gallegos tried to use the Board of Supervisors process to sneak in a paragraph giving himself credit for creating a program that we all know he did not create. Then, thinking it was approved AS WAS, they trumpet this as PROOF that he created the program, NOT KNOWING THAT THAT PARAGRAPH WAS DELETED PRIOR TO APPROVAL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT FACTUAL AND EVERYONE KNEW IT.

This is yet another well-orchestrated LIE.

And Bonnie Neely agreed to participate in this knowing that she was throwing her own husband under the bus, knowing that the credit for this program belongs to her husband, knowing that this was false.

This is despicable and disgusting.

Gallegos praised for leadership on domestic violence

District Attorney Paul Gallegos was officially commended today for his leadership in the fight against the epidemic of domestic violence. The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution expressing their appreciation, noting that the District Attorney Domestic Violence Vertical Prosecution Team was created under Gallegos' leadership.

The team, which has a deputy district attorney, an investigator and two victim advocates, has the twin task of helping victims navigate through the criminal justice system while also holding offenders accountable.

The supervisors' resolution noted a woman is victimized by an intimate partner every 28 seconds. Men, too, often are victims, at an average of about one every four minutes.

The district attorney's team, according to the resolution, acknowledges that the real heroes are the victims, since it is up to them to testify during lengthy and often-intimidating court proceedings.

The supervisors issued their thanks to Gallegos and his team for "their dedicated service to the domestic violence victims of Humboldt County."

◼ HERE'S THE DOCUMENT THAT WAS APPROVED...

NOTICE THAT THE PARAGRAPH HE TRIED TO SNEAK IN WAS REMOVED.

THIS ATTEMPT TO USE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HAS FAILED.

If he or his handlers had been at the meeting perhaps he would have known this.

HERE IS THE DOCUMENT HE TRIED TO GET THROUGH AND THEN CLAIM AS PROOF:

BOARD AGENDA ITEM c-12
May 17, 2002 for Meeting of June 4, 2002
Terry Farmer District Attorney
SIGNED BY: TERRY FARMER'S WIFE, SUPERVISOR BONNIE NEELY
SUBJECT: DISTRICT ATTORNEY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VERTICAL PROSECUTION GRANT APPLICATION FOR 7.1.02 - 6.30.03
DISCUSSION!
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR ITS FIFTH YEAR OF FUNDING FOR ITS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VERTICAL PROSECUTION UNIT...

◼ PAUL GALLEGOS' BALLOT STATEMENT READS:

"...I established the Criminal Investigations Bureau, the Consumer and Environment Protection Unit, the Child Abuse and Adult Sex Crimes Unit, the Worker's Compensation Fraud Unit, the Domestic Violence Unit and Bad Check Program...."

◼ July 30, 1995 HUMBOLDT DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S BAD CHECK PROGRAM - the Bad Check Program predates him by many years

And that's not all.

Say anything.

Gallegos claims IN HIS BALLOT STATEMENT: "...I established the Criminal Investigations Bureau, the Consumer and Environment Protection Unit, the Child Abuse and Adult Sex Crimes Unit, the Worker's Compensation Fraud Unit, the Domestic Violence Unit and Bad Check Program...." and he claims: "... I taught the United States Constitution when I was a professor at Humboldt State University,..."

You don't want to go back to the way things were, you say, but you want to take claim - and be given credit - for things that were created by the previous DA, or even before.

Forcing your employees to sign My Word's that tout your "creation" of a program that you did not create, trying to get commendations from the Board of Supervisors for a program you did not create is so incredibly dishonest that words fail me.

Have you no shame at all?

Plagiarism wasn't enough. Twisting the crime stats, claiming years before you were in office wasn't enough. Filing lawsuits against political opponents and at the behest of your campaign backers wasn't enough. You have been given a pass at every turn, so now you think you can say anything.

Just got a robocall from John Ford telling me about Gallegos' budget cuts.

Oh, really?

Now he's Professor Gallegos

"... I taught the United States Constitution when I was a professor at Humboldt State University,..."

If you've ever been invited to speak to a class at HSU, polish up your resumes, kids. You too can be a PROFESSOR.

Why did the Board Meeting start ten minutes late yesterday?

And why did Bonnie Neely not read that proclamation?

Answer: Because that 4th paragraph was false. And it was pulled out, and a new proclamation was approved.

Who put it in there in the first place?

July 30, 1995 HUMBOLDT DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S BAD CHECK PROGRAM

Way back when - I filed PUBLIC RECORDS ACT REQUESTS regarding CAST and the DV grants. Not just with the DA, but with the funding agencies.

In fact the DV Unit was established in the mid 90's
Elizabeth Norton, Eamon Fitzgerald, Wes Keat, Gloria Albin Sheets were each assigned.
Gallegos fired Gloria Albin Sheets, claiming he had lost a grant.
He then put Nandor Vadas name where hers was on the grant apps...

He went on KINS Talk Shop and talked about weaning the office from Grant Funding - complaining that he'd like to see more funding from the County General Fund to reflect the community's commitment to the office, but that doesn't happen, which he blames on the Board of Supervisors... says when he came in the office was 60% grant funded, and that he has set about to "systematically wean" the office from grant funding...

He said specifically that that the Domestic Violence/Victim Witness Grant was held onto longer than it should have been, "should've weaned ourselves long ago".

Some of the Grant numbers:
VV 04060120
VV 033Q0120.
