PRESS RELEASE - BOB CONAWAY for SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY - 2014

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
.
Inspired in part by the "Kumbayah" Kamala Harris & Mike Ramos fund raiser yesterday [and by the utter failure of Mikes Ramos over his past two terms to even get to trial the Charter School & Colonies case, the sentencing favoritism for "Friends of Mike Ramos" & the continuing abuse of the DA's office's charging authority to target people based on their ethnicity, incomes and politics, Bob Conaway decided to join the race for the top cop spot.
.
Ramos has allowed environmental and civil rights crimes to be committed in our communities, and those committing those crimes to act with impunity. Mike Ramos shows a resistance to the spirit of change and reform required by AB 109 (the Realignment Legislation). It makes no sense to talk about drug seizures and the community impact from drugs on the street while ignoring the poisoning of our air and water by corporate America, the illegal foreclosure of homes by financial institutions and code enforcement harassment of small businesses. It makes no sense to make people of color serve time in county jails for offenses while "Friends of Mike Ramos" pay fines or are allowed to walk.  How Mike Ramos let Mitzelfelt get away with his false statements on campaign statements (hiding some of his developer money sources), current Supervisor James Ramos' failure to report timely and under penalty of perjury six figure contributions to his college board campaign and how Kamala Harris did not prosecute Mike Ramos for misleading (and therefore false) statements of his 700 forms are all examples of taking people off the prosecutorial target range for political reasons.
.
In the last election cycle Bob, the endorsed democrat came within 4% of forcing a runoff with Ramos despite being outspent over 25+  so money and glitcy fund raisers notwithstanding, this may be, the Good Lord willing and assuming Ramos does not trump up some charges against him or Bob's clients, a race for the books.
.
Bob Conaway"
