WELCOME TO THE SABATINO REPORT December 11, 2006 WE NEED A DISCONNECT BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND POLITICS RAY SIMON CRITICAL OF SHERIFF Lame Duck Supervisor Ray Simon and County Counsel Mick Krausnick are making a feeble attempt to bring the new Sheriff under their control. Their loss of Weidman and Putoff leaves them exposed and limits their ability to punish anyone who opposes them. Apparently, Sheriff Christianson is not an errand boy. The message is old but clear, “go along or else”. Go along or we will “cut your budget”. Jim DeMartini threatened the District Attorneys budget if they failed to prosecute the former Mayor even though it would hurt the entire community. His threat came not only as a Supervisor but as chair of the Republican Central Committee. Go along or we will destroy your career and you will become “political road kill”. Simon and Krausnick will do these things because they can. It cannot be expected that they would prosecute themselves. Ray Simon says, “I am the County”, and yet he knows nothing about the corruption he has wallowed in for the past decades. “It violates the policy; you can’t do that,” Simon said. It’s a violation of respect for the county code.” Ray Simon has abused his office. He has little respect for the law and is willing to violate the civil rights of others. In a few weeks he will be a toothless “lion” who will still lack a code of ethics and any shred of decency. Enough is enough…..It’s time to rename the Criminal Justice Center SABATINO TESTIFIES AT TRIAL BUT “GANG” REFUSES Ray Simon, Mike Zagaris, Patrick McGrath, Roger Brown, Mick Krausnick, and even Mark Vasche had to be relieved that District Attorney Fladager chose not to retry the Sabatino case. Judge Franklin Stephenson allowed them to not testify at the trial because it could open “a can of worms”. Another judge could have forced them to appear in court and bring their files. Given the history of this “gang”, imagine their displeasure with Sheriff Chrisianson for not arresting former Mayor Carmen Sabatino before the Appellate Court stayed Judge Stephenson’s order.
