Heavy sigh...

More of the same. Welcome to San Mateo County.

What a disgrace. No mention that he was caught in an underage prostitution house a few years ago.

Anywhere else, a stunt like this appointment would be absolutely unthinkable.

This is political strategy 101.

The official resigns just a little early so a handpicked successor can take over ... and then run as an incumbent.

They all do it. Doesn't make it right, but it happens all the time.

Do any of you have the funds to conduct a special election? Isn't it too late to do this? Are there any negative reports on Mr Bolanos and his character? Do you not think the supervisors would have looked at all of this and even more? Just because it looks shaddy doesn't mean it is. And isn't what "Wow" wrote wrong, I thought that it was Monk that was caught in Las Vegas?

wonton dawg:

it was BOTH Bolonos and Munks that were caught in a brothel featuring under age prostitutes. Highly likely they were sex slaves. The supervisors are well aware of this and turned a blind eye. In this case it is shady as it looks.

I am very disappointed that Warren Slocum allowed this appointment to be made without interviews in a timely manner to allow the calling of an election if an appointment could not be agreed upon.

A referendum would be the petitioning process used to overturn this action of the Board.

At the very least, I would hope that Carlos Bolanos would submit to a secret ballot of the body of employees over which he would preside, and absent a 2/3 majority he should reject the appointment.

A copy of the letter would be appreciated. It should be a public record if it was sent to the BOS.

The letter by Anna Eshoo and Jackie is reproduced at the bottom of this story.

I watched the video of the meeting. They didn't even take a roll call vote! What a travesty.

My understanding of the referendum process is that if filed within 30 days of the action, the action is suspended until the petitioning process has run its course.

I used this process with the Sequoia Healthcare District in 2003 to derail the effort to shut down the hospital at its present location and rebuild it down by the Bayshore Freeway.

I have asked each of the 3 supporting supervisors to make a motion to reconsider at the next meeting.

Failing that, I suggest a referendum on their action to suspend enactment until the petitioning process has run its course.

Jack:

Unfortunately, the sheeple of SMC will not step up to deal with this. They're either too lazy or uncaring. After all, they reelected Munks after he was caught in a brothel featuring under age prostitutes.

Welcome to San Mateo County. The most corrupt county in the state.

Mr. Stogner, in our terminology he is an unclassified employee, which is essentially they same as an at will employee.

Michael, I did attend but then again, maybe I went to hear what he had to say and who was supporting him. Attendance is no more than that.

Hello Don,

If you will notice I requested that you recuse yourself to avoid the Appearance of a Conflict of Interest.

Your statement "I have not publicly supported Carlos Bolanos as of this date."

If I may point out you attended UnderSheriff Carlos Bolanos's Kick Off Party for Sheriff 2018 hosted by Corrin Rankin.

That is public support.

Subject: Resolution to place Sheriff on this November ballot.

Dear Supervisors,

Please pass a resolution so that the Voters in San Mateo County can pick our Sheriff. I was just at the elections office this morning and we have time to make this happen. That office suggested a resolution.

I am asking that Carole Groom recuse herself from this conversation and vote because she herself was appointed. Don Horsely should also recuse himself to avoid the appearance of a Conflict of Interest being our Sheriff and publicly supporting Carlos Bolanos.

The cost to taxpayers is minuscule to be on the November 2016 ballot.

Thank You in advance for doing what's best for the residents of San Mateo County.

The BOS of Supervisors have the funds even if it cost $1.7 M as the 2008 Grand Jury recommended for filling a Supervisor Seat.

Are there any neg reports on Bolanos? Of course and the Supervisors have knowledge of Feb. 2011 he interfered with the investigation of his son in a fight at the Pioneer in Woodside, Ca. He left his home and drove to the site.

You thought it was Greg Munks that was caught inside the single family residence, because that is the story he told San Mateo County residents. Carlos G. Bolanos has refused to comment on him being inside the home when caught.
There is also the 3rd Deputy who fled the Limo.

Here is what the Supervisors knew, I told them about Carlos G. Bolanos using a Brady Officer Sgt. Jason E. Peardon to conduct an I.A. Investigation, Bolanos declared Sheriff Deputy Juan Lopez as Dishonest per Peardon's investigation.

There was the March 5, 2008 Story by Vic Lee of ABC 7 News that was the huge Red Flag about Carlos G. Bolanos being the ONLY Police Chief in the entire County that thought the $20M Digital Radio Communication System was a good value. When you have that many other police chiefs opposing it as unsafe for their officers.

What was Carlos G. Bolanos thinking?
