Shredder, I really love your opinion on what’s going on around SLO County, especially with the so-called justice system and political BS.
Take U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara): that joker claims to be helping veterans. When I spoke to him earlier this year about how difficult it has been to access Community Care (which administers health benefits for veterans and their families), he told me to keep trying. Well, I’ve been trying for five years. Veterans who live more than 40 miles from a Veterans Affairs specialist can see a community specialist.
Just think, I voted for him during the last election.
Then, he had the nerve to say, with a straight face, that his hands are tied. Oh, his hands are tied all right, probably around a cigar and single malt scotch in some dark corner of the nearest bar on DuPont Circle in Washington D.C. He’s probably laughing at the voters for putting him in office again.
One thing I loathe more than anything is a politician who dares to feed me a trail of BS with a straight face.
I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer as far as politics are concerned, but I do know when something stinks and SLO County is starting to stink.

Starting Jade Stone? Ongong for decades. It is just when we ourselves notice that there are no guaranteed county and state tax paid services for us when we personally need them – that we react. San Luis Obispo County, CA, is clueless, apathetic, abusive and negligent when it comes to the care of their own residents who – when an emergency arrives in their household, and they request services – the County and State are missing in action. This County deserves an audit by the federal government on how they are allegedly committing waste, fraud and abuse with the tax payer funds. I will probably file these charges myself. As for the good ole boy Carbajal, he is a flat out a self serving clown. When we needed him here to attend to the issues which you have brought up, for example, he was down at the southern border trolling for potential future votes as he works on his five year plan to move up higher in the federal political hierarchy. You can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. We do not need a Board of Supervisors – we do not need Assembly members – we do not need Carbajal. Because in San Luis Obispo County, CA, it is all about their next grab for more power, more campaign donations, and their endless politicking for higher office, all at the expense of the taxpayer. Vote all of them out and abolish these political hack jobs. Friends – it is all smoke and mirrors.
