Measure M suggests the Commission be composed of one retired Stanislaus County judge, one member of a local taxpayer's association with tax-exempt status, one member of a local nonpartisan political organization with tax-exempt status, one former member of a Civil Grand Jury who has served in that role within the previous five years and one additional member who has demonstrated civic involvement and a capacity to serve in an honest, independent, and impartial fashion. There is a difference between REQUIRE and SUGGEST. Measure M advertised the endorsement of the Democratic and Republican Central Committees, Someone violated the by-laws of these committees because the “endorsements” came without the voting required by those by-laws. Measure M was endorsed by the Stanislaus County Taxpayers Association, which does not exist. Measure M was financed to the tune of $100,000 by the Mayor, City Councilmember Brad Hawn, George Petrulakis, and etc. Measure M ballot measure was written by George Petrulakis, a land-use lawyer, political consultant, and power peddler. Measure M was endorsed by the Stanislaus Taxpayer Association which is the only organization available to fit the requirement as suggested by the ballot measure. Apparently they already have a seat at the table. There is much more, but you will not see it in the corporate newspaper, or hear it on corporate radio.
