I formerly worked in law enforcement for the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office (MCSO), and I have the highest respect for the law. I am also a member of the Grand Jury. This is my third term. I was appointed by the judges of the Mendocino County Superior Court after being vetted by them. Also, I am the appointed public trustee of the county's $445 million pension system. The Board of Supervisors unanimously appointed me. I am serving my second term. I was thoroughly vetted. I am insured as a fiduciary in my role as a public trustee. </span></div><div><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" data-mce-style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" data-mce-style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">In other words, I am as law-abiding and conservative as any person I know.

After publicly stating you would not apply for the position, you, in fact, applied a few days before applications closed. It was a blatant conflict of interest.

The membership numbers for the last eight years are available on the

I called the Sheriff's Department in October when John Sakowicz
posted an unattributed AVA article that advocated taking over the
station by force ("WHAT WOULD JUDI BARI DO? Show up, bull rush
Campbell and whatever other dope-soaked marshmallow is in the way,
take over the mike, explain live what you're doing, maybe even get
arrested. Make a major issue out of it." From <i>Mendocino County
Today</i>, October 6, 2015). As far as I could tell, he had
written it, and he was one of the people making the thirty-point
document demand, so I expected him to show up. The station had no
legal obligation to accede to the demand on that October 7th, and I
had communicated that to the parties involved. It was my
understanding that the Mendocino County Sheriff's Department did not
always have a strong presence in the Anderson Valley, so I called to
alert them that I had received a threat and it was possible an
incident might occur at a federally licensed radio facility. I did
not ask them to actually be at the station. They chose to do that on
their own, and to have two officers present. <br>

I heard the broadcast of the candidates debate last night and
was shocked to hear Stuart Campbell rebuff John S's statement
that the station had lost a thousand members over the past
decade. <br>
<div><br>
</div>
He then made the claim that anyone could check the website to
find out the facts. <br>
<div><br>
</div>
First, membership numbers, past or present, are not on the
website. It is not even possible to discern the level of
income derived from the membership after 2010. <br>
<div><br>
</div>
Second, in order to find these numbers out, I had to threaten
to sue the radio station. When I showed up to find out, it
was Stuart Campbell himself who called the police in order to
prevent me from finding out. <br>
<div><br>
</div>
Finally, after the new GM was hired and it was possible to
discuss the issue with someone reasonable, she revealed that
past record keeping was in disarray, and even she did not know
how far the membership has declined. <br>
<div><br>
</div>
Why did Stuart not just tell the truth? </div>
<div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><br>
And why was he willing to go to such great lengths to prevent
me from discovering the answers to these questions? <br>
