Sweetwater district corruption trial postponed
Yes,get out of jail cards seem to be abundant in Judge Espana's courtroom. I wonder what the judge will think of Pearl holding the community hostage for 1.5 million dollars for an election we do not need? I guess it is probably better because word on the street and supported by Facebook is that Pearl and McCann were deliberately unfriended by John Mendez so it didn't give the appearance that the fix was in for his appointment to the board. Mendez work on McCann's campaign. Brand is frantic to keep his 3 votes and asked McCann for his help. I thought Pearl had finally realized Brand was definitely not her friend but I guess that depends on what he promises her and what day of the week it is. So as for the Stomach Turns we are in for another ride we do not want to take either way. These attorneys handle Judge Espana very well. They do not listen and still get their way. I only hope the Sweetwater saga will come to a conclusion in my lifetime.— January 25, 2014 6:20 p.m.
Picket at Sweetwater trustee Cartmill's home
Cartmill's wife looked strained,but offered the teachers something to drink. Class act unlike her husband who is a Brand lackey. Amazing Cartmill wasGandara's lackey as well. He still hasn't learned. What a costly experience to not have learned the the first time. I guess he will have the opportunity again through Brand's schemes.— January 19, 2014 8:54 a.m.
No process yet to replace Sweetwater trustee Ricasa
Bbq, I believe you're correct again. Brand's puppet McCann( the fiscal conservative) is trying to force an election. They're unable to appoint a person because it has to be done in the publics eyes. That's why they want an election. Grossman only has to submit his name. The recognition from the last campaign will help get him aboard.grossman did little campaigning.I smell a big rat.— January 17, 2014 11:22 a.m.

Hey, Jill why the personal attacks on anniej? It's obvious that you can't deal with others opinions or the truth.— January 16, 2014 8:56 a.m.
No process yet to replace Sweetwater trustee Ricasa
What an evening of great acting. McCann calls himself a fiscal conservative,what a joke. Last night was bad theater for Cartmill,Brand and McCann. How will the community respond to a waste of over a million dollars.They will not vote for McCann for even dog catcher.— January 15, 2014 4:46 p.m.
No tough justice for former Southwestern College official
Jill when I read your first comment I was confused as to what this bogus crap you brought up has to do with the article people are posting about. After reading the last post it was obvious what your real intentions were about. A picture of Bertha and your comment about politics. It appears your upset that Ms.Adato has been asked to apply for the vacant board seat. Jill please run back up the hill and see what Tim Tim is up to and let us continue with the real discussion. Jealousy doesn't become you.— January 9, 2014 2:28 p.m.

This certainly answered the questions and comments about The DA and Dumanis. This leniency to all these people belongs in Espana's court so to speak. I guess the community's wasted monies and voices for over four years have fallen on deaf ears. The issues are not about 700 forms it's about selfish self serving use and manipulation of bond monies.Thus far Ricasa has received the sweetest deal. Everyone thought myself included that the sweet deal was because she would be the star witness against Gandara,Quinones,Cartmill and Sandoval. I guess we know better now. Everyone can deal with fines over #700 forms that's in the paper and on the news daily. But to say you are a part of this community and render decisions like this is not what this community expected. We expected our day in court and got nothing. I'm not republican but Dumanis and the DA's office worked very hard to get nothing. If there would have been a trial it in all likely hood would have taken years to happen. No wonder the DA's office wanted it downtown.— January 9, 2014 7:56 a.m.
Few details on Sweetwater district's student-data-sharing deal
Grossman's wife is an A.P at Otay Ranch I believe.— January 2, 2014 4:37 p.m.
Few details on Sweetwater district's student-data-sharing deal
The first order of business when the district reopens will be to fill Ricasa's seat. The list of candidates for Brand's(chosen) will be interesting to see. Staff at CPM say Grossman heads the list followed by a BOC member. I personally hope that person is Kevin O'Neil,but I don't think Brand would choose someone that's honest and he couldn't control. The BOC seems pretty independent to me. If Brand has infiltrated the BOC I guess we will see. The process will be totally in the publics eye. But everyone knows Brand's hands are quicker than the eye. The lingering question is can he still control Pearl. I'm told she finally figured out he's only interested in what her vote can do for his needs. It should be an interesting start to the new year. Depending on who gets the position Brand could be gone before June. All that is required is doing his evaluation that has been put on the burner for months. Happy New Year hopefully.— January 2, 2014 9:21 a.m.
Few details on Sweetwater district's student-data-sharing deal
Lembo said she wanted to see Bleisch's email stating it would be slanderous to her organization. Well now that she has seen it where is the lawsuit? Why not provide the agreement date if your hands are clean. Susan have you been able to get the agreement from the district? Bet not,because Brandi's trying to change CPM into a Charter School. CPM staff have been told Bleisch will be principal of the Charter portion as well as principal of the remaining portion that will remain the same. I wonder if Arnie has the integrity to look into this matter or is he just another politician going into hiding until the storm blows over. Thanks again Susan.— December 29, 2013 8:14 a.m.
