Who made the decision
within the Riverside government to publicly reprimand Riverside Ward
4 Councilman Paul Davis, for the French fries incident between him
and a female Fire Department inspector ?
|
Councilman Paul Davis and wife May.
|
According with Mayor Ron
Loveridge, this is the first time in his 33 years at the dais he has
seen a council member been reprimanded in public.
We don't have to be a
Sherlock Holmes to see that this French fries episode doesn't smell
good. It is fishy. It does look like a political vendetta against
Davis.
There are more questions
to be answered. If the French fries could talk!
What we have found out so
far is that the investigator hired by the City is Jeff Calopy, an ex
Riverside Lieutenant, who is a very close friend of City Attorney
Greg Priamos. Mayor Pro-Term
William Bailey publicly read loud and clear a Council reprimand to Davis at the City Council meeting of August 28, 2012.
So much for a harmonious Council!
The French fries incident
was on August 10, 2012. Davis and his wife May were distributing food
from one of those food trucks, during the Food Festival in downtown.
There was a verbal interchange between the Councilman and the Fire
Department inspector, regarding the lack of extinguishers. The
inspector accused Davis of being rude and disrespectful.
Did Davis tell her f---
you?
Did Davis hit her?
Did Davis kill someone?
Did Davis flash to her
funny Police badges? Did he use especial and privileged cold license
plates as it happened a few years ago at the
Riverside government level and nobody was publicly reprimanded? How about pople involved in proven sexual harrassment cases that were not publicly reprimanded?
Let's arrest Paul Davis,
crucify him as the Jews did to Jesus Christ. “Kill Davis!, kill
Davis!, kill Davis!” Let's introduce a motion to suppress the
sales of French fries in Riverside, like the New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomerang cut off the sales of giant sodas and the making of
love inside cars.
City Attorney Greg Priamos
noted that the investigation of his friend Jeff Calopy determined
the complaint was founded. Mayor Pro-Term and Mayor candidate William
Bailey publicly said at the August 28 meeting, “ The City
Council does not condone the actions of Councilman Davis, founded
through a complaint and interview by a city employee and investigated
by a private detective. The City Council will continue to call for
behavior expected of a public official serving the residents of
Riverside.”
So
much for a harmonious Council.
Let's crucify Paul Davis.
“Guilty!, guilty!, guilty!”
But what kind of
investigation made Mr. Calopy, who did not interview Davis? Calopy
only heard the Fire Department's inspector complaint and then made a report to
the City.
Jesus!, in the meantime,
what happened to the French fries during those arguments between Paul
and the inspector? Did they burn? That would have been terrible.
Why does the City keep
secret the name of the inspector as the Council do on issues in the
Consent Calendar? Are we lacking “Glasnost (Openness)?” We need
Mikhail Gorbachev to speak at the City Council meetings in Oral Communication
(3 minutes.). Perhaps the Council needs “Perestroika”
(restructuring.)
The bottom line is that
Paul Davis is one of the hardest working council members. His
terrific energy has been put at the service of the people. This makes
some people angry, invidious. He and Priamos have had their
differences in the past, but we don't know yet for sure who
orchestrated the public reprimand. When we find it out, it will be
written.
I have been criticizing
Davis about his relationship with members of the Communist Vietnam
government, as well as many officials and personalities who have been
dealing with those thugs and enemies of the United States of America.
But regarding the French
Fries soap opera, we support Paul a hundred and ten percent.
Oh, by the way, Paul owes
me a bulk of French fries. But I will forgive him, if he brings
French fries for everybody at the next City Council meeting.
Double rations for Priamos
and Bailey, please.
