Yup, let's make sure the police oversight committee issue gets decided BEFORE Guerra answers to the issue of the doctored police report. This way, he can continue to claim "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Time to Sunset the Atherton Police Department! For some years now they've caused us nothing but embarrassment and expense. Their skills are lacking in both police work and public relations. They're more like the Keystone Cops every day and it's OUR MONEY they're wasting. Atherton residents deserve better and there ARE alternatives to this overpriced fiasco. C'mon over to Town Hall tonight and say so!

Council voted 4 to 1 in favor of no Police Oversight Committee. They think everything is going just fine

"We do have a new Police Chief, we have a new Sheriff in town. We've got to give this administration a chance."
This is her response to at least one Atherton Police Officer committing a felony against resident Jon Buckheit.
She and other leaders are completely OK with the FACT that a Police Officer has committed a crime against a citizen/resident, and she has made no effort in the last 60 days to help Mr. Buckheit identify the officer who committed this felony.

A big Thank You to Mayor McKeithen for her strong support for citizen oversight and shame on the other four council members for turning your backs on the community that you were elected to serve.
Moving forward I will work closely with the Police Chief and the Town Manager to take whatever administrative steps as are possible to increase citizen involvement, understanding and support of OUR police department. I will also ensure any additional funding which is required for such efforts.
We move on.

Now there is a positive spin.
"Move On" ward to where?
Towards our downward spiral to the center of the earth where we can safely bury our heads?
I'm pretty sure some one will notice we are M.I.A. eventually....
but Thank you for caring Peter
