The wheels of justice can turn pretty slowly. Today's Daily Post has an article about the prosecution of former Central County fire chief Mark Ladas for credit card fraud. We have the back story from 2014 here including the bit about his wife fleeing to Canada. The article says that a jury trial is set for Sept. 19. It also notes that SM County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe's office "wants him to plead guilty to multiple felonies, but the DA said 'the guy's got too much pride' ".

My biggest question about our former Fire Chief is...what other highly paid government leader in our area is corrupt as shit?
Answer? Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
This isn't a problem with the Supermajority Political Party in Power right now, it's not about one ideology over another - the fundamental problem in the Bay Area and beyond is lack of public awareness, lack of public debate, coordinated squelching and blatant slandering of dissenters in most communities, and thus the Chief Ladas and Senator Yees of our area get massively corrupt and unquestioned and it's all at the cost of poor and shady leadership for us all.
This is the fundamental flaw with so-called "Democratic Socialism", it assumes that the government staff and it's leaders - given even more power will govern without corruption and without marginalizing "minority" perspectives, which in our area means Conservative perspectives.

I believe that our "Own City Manager-Randy Schwartz," was City Manager of Hillsborough at the time of the Fire Chief's crime.
As well as supporting the Fire Chief during this criminal investigation.
That may have been one of the many reasons Randy Schwartz "Retired."
Mr. Schwartz had an interesting career.
Retired from Burlingame, retired from San Bruno, retired from Hillsborough.
No wonder the people question retirement benefits for Civil Servants.
Especially Upper Management.
Same goes for the School District.

What's the latest with The Baby Area's world class collection of Felons?
Our (politician) Felons make Hillary look like an angel!
