BAD CHECK PROGRAM PREDATES COUNTY'S QUESTYS SYSTEM
Perhaps the DA's Office will tell us when it was created. Bwahahahahahahahaha
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.

◼ Question #15 of the Questionnaire - full questionnaire SAVED
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?

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.

◼ DA candidates combine to spend $260,000: A look at filing statements in the race to become the county's top law enforcement official
460s are in.
Jackson received monetary contributions of $31,147 this period, bringing her year-to-date total to $85,072. Gallegos, on the other hand, only brought in $21,470 in cash contributions this period, but still edges Jackson in the year-to-date total, having pulled in $97,255.
In total, however, Gallegos' campaign is running in the red. The statements indicate the district attorney has received $36,000 in loans and has accrued $15,677 in unpaid bills since the beginning of the year, for a total outstanding debt of more than $50,000. He reported ending September with about $8,300 in cash on hand.

A two-page ballot, and the potential for confusion
◼ The ballot's in the mail: Humboldt County Elections Office readies for big day; registration deadline looms
"...Crnich said the November election will also be the first in which Humboldt County voters will face a two-page ballot.
”That's going to make it more complicated for us,” Crnich said, cautioning that those casting ballots by mail will also have to be aware. “We need to make sure voters know that it is very important that they return both pages of their vote-by-mail ballot in the same envelope. ... If a voter only returns one page, we won't be able to accept the other (at a later time).”
