Imagine that! If ever elected Governor, maybe he would include in the state budget “verifying the existence of angels.”

Lets recall this jewel from RH’s campaign to Governor in 2003:

“Vote Ralph Hernandez, for Governor! Experienced,Tax Fighter, problem solver, honest, dependable, and highly qualified!”

God Almightly!!

Elwood, don’t be dissing Antioch.
They ran, they got elected (she in the recall of Liz Rimbault), he resigned before the end of his term, she lost her reelection. It could happen anywhere.
We saw interesting, opposition candidates elected in Walnut Creek in the 80′s. We’ve seen interesting candidates get elected in Richmond.
So, it could happen elsewhere, and does.
But, your statement is partially right. Since they live in Antioch, they can’t run for city council elsewhere.

Only in Antioch could Ralph Hernandez (or his wife) ever be elected to anything.

Isn’t Warren Rupf one of the county officials pulling down some $300k to $400k per year between his county retirement and his sherriff’s pay? Some of his underlyings (particularly retirees) are probably getting more. Of course, they’re worth it. Heaven help anyone criticizing the police (or their unions). Good job on the Garrido affair, and good job on bankrupting the County.

Our Sheriff went on National TV as well to apologize.

Unbelievable! Of course Hernadez dont wanna talk about his connection with Garrido. He is an ex city council who actuallly believed in Garrido’s mumbo jumbo as he clearly states in his interview with Dave Ross. Ha ha ha, I like how Ross retorts to his “I didn get that”. Come on! An ex police oficer with 33 years of experience? This tells me something about his investigative skills…

This sad story is potentially huge. There will be plenty of people to interview.
