Why complain afterwards? I am polar opposite Ross in my politics but don't see there elm here. Baron on the other hand was paid by us to travel to and from his other job. He also needed time to change clothing. So maybe at an hour a day that the taxpayer paid him for or maybe more. This is theft by a controller. He should know better.

That is what happens when there is pandering and nepotism; no one likes you. You might do well for the short-term, but eventually your 15 minutes of fame are up. In Marcus' case, the good outweighed the wrong. And he is a stand-up, good guy. Now his job is secure. But all of you want to get the last say and try to steer contracts away from CALCV so you all can cut off your noses to spite your faces. Well newsflash! You guys don't look too great now and especially when your noses are missing. But MacClure has that unusual red glow to him anyway. His nose would have looked like Rudolph. Maybe it is best he does cut off his nose just in time for Christmas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-647413446368575622013-10-22T14:08:19.774-04:002013-10-22T14:08:19.774-04:00He got a created job with a huge county Human Serv...He got a created job with a huge county Human Services vendor, how is that not enriching himself???

Marcus went along with it, knowing it was against county law."</em><br /><br />I do not endorse breaking the law, but don't believe EVERY violation of the law should be pursued to the nth degree. Not even when Barron is the culprit. <br /><br />In the Marcus case, the evil at which the revolving door ordinance is aimed (County employees enriching themselves with county vendors) does not exist. Hence, enforcing the law would be absurd. <br /><br />In the Barron case, the evil at which the Charter was aimed (having a full time controller who spends the work day getting paid to do something else) did exist. But once he resigned that position, the evil goes away, just as Barron himself will go away in the next election. It would be pointless to pursue the violation. <br /><br />John Stoffa, who has a county to run, does not want it mired down in hearings over barron or other unproductive crap. McClure would paralyze county government if he could. <br /><br />There is no difference between McClure and the tea party extremists who shut down the federal government. Each would let government grind to a halt to get their way.

Yep, Gerrymandered right out on his dumb ass. He will be on the ballot in 2015. He will run for something. He can't make it as a lawyer without sucking on the public teat. It truly is sad that his vindictiveness creates such distractions for the Council, but that is the nature of McClueless. His budget actions has done nothing but gaurentee a huge tax increase in the near future. I voted for him on more than one occasion.

Other counties he wanted to work for didn't seem to think so.<br /><br />Hey Alan, instead of haring the guy your donors want you to hire, why not hire a qualified person or admit you created this position as a bailout for Marcus.<br /><br />The bottom line is the county has a law against it and you, Marcus and Stoffa flaunted the law. You then use the poor as a shield for your actions putting them at risk.<br /><br />Why is the CACLV Board not looking into your reckless and irresponsible actions.<br /><br />Mr. McClure had to do this , since the original law has been ignored by the likes of you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-75540900587024310322013-10-22T00:22:25.377-04:002013-10-22T00:22:25.377-04:00It's not the law for ten days, during which ti...It's not the law for ten days, during which time Stoffa can veto the ordinance.
