Joe Nelson: [in response to your article @ http://www.sbsun.com/news/ci_16085205] I told you, I told you, I told you, when you did not want to hear during the campaign [and as I recall Frank Guzman told you as well]-- Mike Ramos may have either stalled prosecutions in his public integrity unit so his buds' criminal liability under state statutes would vanish for statute of limitations reasons (and his prosecution was just window dressing, campaign fodder and or a way to remind his competition within the party who is boss until the cases got tossed) or is he just a terrible DA for anything except gangbanger prosecutions (oh wait a second, his conviction rate is 30% under what the typical major County DA department does). You (Joe Nelson), Joe Baca, Sr. & Jerry Lewis helped re-elect him. So who is watching the hen house? Jerry Brown's attentions have been turned to the City of Bell it seems.

Blogger Bob's comments: Is Irwin's case really coming down to undisclosed gifts or services on a FPPC 700 form and related comments? If so, don't we have some serious problems with Mike Ramos who did not disclose a five figure payment to his wife? and then signed a disclosure form under penalty of perjury not disclosing that payment? Didn't Brad Mitzelfelt's mis-report the source of some of his campaign contributions and sign an FPPC 460 form under penalty of perjury when he ran for election (after being appointed by the BOS)? Is Irwin being hammered because he lobbied for a deal a lot of other people seemed in love with? How is that different from certain employees of the BOS sheparding plans through the approval process and planning commission for a developer bud--in fact don't some of those staffers have real estate licenses? Do we have the smell of selective prosecution in the air yet?
