Hi, oldguy49...Know what your problem is...You just make too much sense and NOBODY is listening to you...Once again, you are spot on...The Peninsula has about as much chance of helping themselves to Nacimiento water as when donkeys fly..Those farmers will tell them not "no", but "hell no"...The regional Project was merely a means to provide 10,000 acre ft. of water to satisfy the State plus the way to finance...It didn't even attempt to address the governance issue for the project...That aspect would be left up to the fighting, battling,squabbling bunch to figure out....
Hi, oldguy49...If the Peninsula even begin to entertain a thought about drawing ONE drop of water of water out of these reservoirs, they are out of their cotton picking minds..The AG industry, nor the City of Salinas for that matter, will NEVER let that happen....period...It must be desperation time..And here sits a totally permitted project for the water that is needed...Go figure....As to the comment about the comment to the Court, sounds like a Burt endeavor doesn't it??..The Judge is trying desperately to find someone, anyone other than , Burt , to defend this case in the next 4 to 6 weeks..Bonkers time in Judgeville....Just furious at Burt..Wants him OUT of the picture....No Attorney wants the job..Another whisk away of the tear...
Hi, oldguy49...While I'm on my soapbox, another idea just crossed my mind...Remember a long, long time ago when the FPPC asked the DA's office to conduct a criminal "investigation" regarding what rumor had it were some sitting Supervisors, McKee, Grant and Weeks??? The Herald always throws Collins into the mix, but he supposedly supplied them, (FPPC) all the info they requested, so go figure on that one...Well, don't you WONDER how long it takes the DA's office to conduct an "investigation" and if they will ever find any of those people guilty of anything....Maybe the FBI will, including the DA's office...The plot thickens...

Hi, oldguy49...Had something else for you to ponder..In as much as the DA's office was so instrumental in putting the screws to Collins and effectively killing the Regional Project, word on the street has it that Stephanie Hulsey plans to run for Flippos job when he retires...She spent four full days of blather telling the Court what a scumbag Collins was without letting him refute a thing or present any evidence of his own, thanks to the Judge..Now, what would it do to her political career if the #995, if it ever gets unsealed by the Judge, if the case is taken away from Hulsey??? Her showcase case would be right out the window wouldn't it?? Oh, wisk away a tear....
Hi, oldguy49...Once again, you are spot on...I, too am on Steve's mailing list and read with interest what he had the opportunity to tell the Court...He has been pooped on by this Court and County and DA's office for well over a year waiting for a time to tell his truth, and now the Feds are very interested in finding out the truth as well...As you put it soooooooo elequently..BOOM..."Hell hath no fury like two women scorned"...And you can throw into that mix the BOS as well...I'm sure they are trying desperately to try and find out who the feds have talked to...Let the games begin...

Hi, Mary...I actually ignored your delightful story 'cause I know this guy is not about to give up either office in a month of Sundays unless forced to do so legally....From day one, this was his intention no matter what Extreme pontificates...Just gave me the opportunity to say this about that....

Hi, Etreme...FYI...Let's take a look at some convoluted logic...I wouldn't think a person could be prohibited from running for an office until that person was actually elected to that office and at that time, the ramifications kick in..Perhaps, the City Clerk was remiss in not warning him that should he be elected, he would have to give up his school board seat..That would tie into what you are saying....Several legal opinions say he is breaking the law...How does one explain that???

When one raises their right hand and takes their oath of office, one swears to uphold the Constitution and the laws of this land, not the laws of Casteneda...It's illegal to hold both...So give up one of them, Jose...Period...

Nuts...When you raise your right hand and take the oath of office, one swears to uphold the Constitution and the laws of our Country, not the laws of Casteneda...The law explicitly states that he cannot hold BOTH offices no matter what he wants to do...So , give up one or the other, Jose....Period....

Hi, oldguy49..Sounds about right...Want to call you attention to the filing that Mike Lawrence, Steve previous attorney, made to Judge Butler regarding the special fund that the BOS had set up for the DA's office to use for the Steve Collin's case...Very illegal, I am told..The Judge ignored this...Google: Hobbs Act: extortion by Force 2404 Under Color of Official Right... The FBI should come down hard on the DA's office if they prove this to be true, and in my opinion, there are some people in this County that should not be practicing law....What a shame....And it's all public money, yours and mine that they have used so wontedly...
