Call this an experiment...what follows is four pages of a police report from 1994, a guy was busted for threateningly flashing a gun during a verbal argument. He was drunk - and he blew the LID OFF a widespread pattern of corruption.
Sheriff Craig is mentioned; since he signs all permits he HAD to be involved. So was Lou Blanas, then undersheriff and just elected Sheriff after Craig's retirement.
Check this out, it's completely beyond reason...and the recent reforms with AB2022 are NOT set up to address this problem!!!
And need I mention that the corruption issues raised here were never investigated, and James Colafrancesco got off with a $100 disturbing the peace fine - and kept his permit?
