The Sabatino Report

 

The Week in Review

 

It happened

 

Former Mayor Carmen Sabatino called for the resignation of City Clerk Jean Morris during the Friday Morning Mayor Show on KMPH 840 AM at 10. 

 

The City Clerk perjured herself during the former Mayors trial.

 

How can we trust that City Council minutes are accurately recorded?  Is it proper for the Clerk to swear in new council members or be the City Auditor? 

 

On Friday afternoon the City Clerk resigned.

 

On Saturday the Modesto Bee reported the resignation as a paragraph in Community Briefing.  This insures that a majority of readers will not know that the City Clerk resigned much less know why she resigned.

 

The City Clerk will leave office in December. Perhaps the Bee will report any large settlement she might receive or maybe not.

 

Gallo Center for the Arts paid for by County General Fund

 

               

County officials would have you believe that the Gallo Arts Center is paying for itself.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  The County budget reveals several payments made from the General Fund, that total $1,836,951 for this fiscal year!

 

The County CEO and the Supervisors have authorized these payments, some of which are directly related to the general operations of the Center.  This Report suspects that additional expenditures are being made for consultants and unadmitted costs.  This Report believes that the Center was never intended to be self-supporting.  Even the Modesto Bee reported that this year, only 46% of the total Center’s expenses would be paid for by ticket and concession sales.  The Center has a budget of about $6.5 Million dollars.  Thus, your taxes will pay for half of that.  Apparently, the County has millions to spend on the Arts, but nothing to spend on thousands of sick children and seniors languishing in our very poor County.  

 

 

 

 

 

Geragos asks court to dismiss the D.A.

 

Defense Attorney Geragos asks that the State Attorney General’s Office take over the case of a young lady accused of using credit cards in the name of Supervisor Jim DeMartini.

 

Geragos argues that because DeMartini controls the District Attorneys budget it creates a conflict.

 

DeMartini threatened to cut the District Attorneys budget if former Mayor Sabatino was not fully and aggressively prosecuted.

 

This is a losing issue for DeMartini even if the young lady is convicted.  Developer Kamilos  who asked County Counsel Michael Krausnick to silence DeMartini criticism of his project will surely spin the case to defeat DeMartini in the next election.  A Kamilos lawyer was present in the courtroom

 

The one comment posted on the Modesto Bee story is provided below.  The famous author is Opus Huff!

 

 

 

Geragos must have learned his law from the Molesto Bee. Months ago it was obliquely reported that our former mayor, Carmen Sabatino, was losing his public defender attorney, when his attorney was about to present evidence that the mayor’s troubles were generated in lofty governmental palaces. The county public defender removed his attorney, who had built a strong defense exposing the political vendetta against Mayor Sabatino. The public defender advised the court the public defender’s office had a conflict because it received its revenue from the board of stupidvisors. Apparently, someone didn’t like being subpoenaed from and employee. In earlier stories, the Bee reported that the board had threatened the Stanislaus county District Attorney’s Office budget and that the board members interjected themselves in the prosecution of Mayor Sabatino. We never got to see how the charges were trumped up because the public defender declared the conflict at the last minute. If it were truly a conflict, the public defender’s office should never have accepted its appointment in Mayor Sabatino’s trumped up prosecution/persecution.
It looks like this judge has a double standard. It is okay to conflict in the mayor’s case because of a public lawyer’s source of income-the board, but not okay to conflict in the “savor the moment” supervisor, the money source for the prosecution. Isn’t this supervisor the one who wanted to savor the moment of the mayor’s conviction, so much so he entered the sanctuary reserved for attorneys and litigants in the trial court upon the reading of the verdict? When will the Bee report the facts without omission of major components of a story?
