Q.Why Is California Broke? A. 350,000 union employees in 500 State Agencies

This ENORMOUS PORK BARREL consists of 350,000 union employees. ALL with FREE  MEDICAL, DENTAL & VISION COVERAGE; ALL QUALIFY for pensions, unheard of in the private sector, some in excess of $8 million.

The numbers of the PORK BARREL EMPLOYEE expands daily.  Those elected as our stewards choose, instead, to bulk the ranks of the government union of whose en masse vote, the politician is assured.

CALTRANS TERRORIZES SMALL TOWN

 
Figeroa Mountain Hike Santa Barbara is considered by many to be the birthplace of the modern environmental movement in the United States. Join us in protecting this wonderful place.

WE HAVE TILL Dec. 15TH  WE NEED 5,000 SIGNATURES. WILL YOU VOLUNTEER?

FIRST, AN UPDATE.  MICHAEL SELF, the Santa Barbara City Councilmember up for re-election on Tuesday, Nov 8, contacted me when made aware of my problems in getting CalPERS to release pension data covered under Govt Code 6250-6276.4–THE CA PUBLIC RECORDS ACT (2006).  I’m not even a resident of Santa Barbara and she’s the only elected official who’s volunteered to help. (Wonder how she’d be as a Supervisor?.  Neither Das Williams, nor Lois Capps, nor Kamala Harris, nor Governor Brown’s office has responded to my multiple requests.

   The wheels are turning in two power-packed government agencies attempting to violate, then hijack a town. The damsel in distress? Montecito. If we don’t go along, we’ll be taken by force. CalTRANS, in dullard inefficiency, intends the (staggeringly expensive) implementation of frivolous, mind-bending, and supernumerary environmental crimes to extinguish the character of a semi-rural town. Once ground is broken, there is no turning back. One agency is local, SBCAG; the other is CalTRANS. SBCAG (Santa Barbra County Assn. of Governments) calls it “PROGRESS”: CalTRANS, the more blunt instrument, refers to it as The Urbanization of Montecito. Should CalTRANS bulldoze through our opposition, you can kiss Montecito goodbye.

   All is part of an overarching (while little discussed) plan to mold Santa Barbara into a Los Angeles-like metropolis. A recession leaves developers no margin for error. They need surefire projects. In the “metropolization” they have planned for us, the City of Santa Barbara is conceived as its hub; Montecito, its Beverly Hills.  

  We are the prize. Why? Santa Barbara’s unexploited potential for growth.

I spoke with a Montecito Fireman last Sunday at the car show on Coast Village Road. He said, ”You’re selfish. You don’t want people from Oxnard to live here. You want your house to stay expensive so low-income people  can’t afford to rent or buy a house here. We have the best weather in the world. We have to make it possible for people who are poor to live in Santa Barbara if they want to.” I’m sorry I didn’t get his name.  But I’d recognize him if I saw him again.

 The public knows little about SBCAG: what it is, what it does, letting alone who its members are. Let’s clear that up.  Some you’ll recognize, others probably not. There’s overlap. I believe the structure to be intentionally arcane. The “Inner Circle” mixes state functionaries with former or current elected officials. It’s structure, characterized by overlap: Cities of different Counties; local, County, and State transportation agencies. The interplay between them is not well-understood.  Nor is not obvious in any way.

  Almost no one knows the truth: CALTRANS & SBCAG are attempting the COMPLETE SHUT DOWN of every 101 Highway exit, feeding or exiting Montecito (exceptions: Olive Mill, San Ysidro.) When questioned, CALTRANS & SBCAG either ‘play dumb’ or vague: “Someday we’ll replace the exits with other exits.”  Someday? 

   I thought we were in a recession?  Do public agencies have orchards where money grows on trees?

   In a meeting with Gregg Hart, former City Councilman now SBCAG spokesman, I pushed for answers to when, why, where & how. He said, verbatim,  “Look. We don’t know. It depends when we get funding for new exits. I can tell you this, we don’t have it now.” What? I was flabbergasted.

  The following are on schedule to close:  Hot Springs, Sheffield, East Cabrillo, West Cabrillo, & Hermosillo.  This is a transfer of Highway 101 traffic to Coast Village Road.  In this plan Coast Village Road becomes “Gateway to the Santa Barbara Beaches.”

   We also have plans to triple the footprint of the YMCA (from 11,000 sq ft to 40,000.) Ony 50% of YMCA membership are residents of Montecito. Doing the math, when tripled, this amount to only 18% being residents of Montecit residents.  So who are they expanding it for? I ask you to envision a new traffic nightmare, with San Ysidro one of only two 101 Highway exits complete with a behemoth tattooed new body builder’s club.

  Then, there is our Montecito Fire Dept. as it plans the construction of its THIRD Fire Station on residential Mountain Drive. Estimated cost? A cool $10 mill. (Which means double that.)  As only Montecito taxpayers support the Fire Dept. (it’s a Special District after all, meaning WE, and WE, ALONE pay for it. Special Districts are not supported by either County or State.

Speaking of Fire, time to assess our wonderful new $20 million “roundabout” that we had to have or we were all going to hell in a handbasket. Are you aware the firm hired to build it hails from Sun City, Idaho? Are you aware most big Fire Engines can’t drive around a “roundabout”  Are you aware that most Von’s trucks can’t either? And this flash of brilliance has practically turned Hermosillo Drive into a Weigh Station?

  Where there’s smoke there’s Fire. Jim Langhorne (55) our former Fire Chief, just retired with a $260,000 pension for the next 30 years.  Kevin Wallace (55) our new Fire Chief is retiring in May.  That means Montecito taxpayers will be paying two young men in excellent health a total of $550,000 for the next 30 years.  This doesn’t include the regular firemen who all retire at almost double their salaries at about $150,000 for 30 years.

  They are also trying to bulldoze the construction of a 12,000 sq. ft. Industrial Complex Monstrosity to step in a 2,000 sq. footprint left by Turk Hesselund’s charming nursery. It project includes the excavation of Coast Village Rd. for on underground  parking garage. (Who’s they? Who else? CalTRANS & SBCAG.  The former, our obscenely inefficient DOT; the latter, a duplicative Secret Society employed as “cover” in the extraction of 2nd & 3rd salaries for City & County elected officials…and we mustn’t forget C.O.A.S.T., whose dues-payers members include top executives from S.B. County Public Works. SBCAG apportions City, County, State, Federal and grant funding to those projects which, in SBCAG’s infinite wisdom, are deemed worthy of our tax money without asking us. 

It may not say this in their Promo Package, but then nothing in this County is as it seems (or proclaims.)   They will be excavating on the busiest corner in town to put in an underground parking garage. Had enough? Or have I miscalculated the Will of the People of Montecito? If so, go for it.  I have other things I can do with my time.

If you don’t want these “IMPROVEMENTS,” then every resident of Montecito MUST sign a petition.

We need volunteers to canvas door-to-door, and set up tables for petition signing at Von’s, Lazy Acres, LaFond’s, CVS or anywhere else you think would work. 

Let us know.  Democracy is a participatory form of government. I don’t see too many participants.

You will get the community you deserve.

CalPERS VIOLATES GOVT. CODE 6250-6276.48

CA Public Records Act: the public must be given access upon request to pension data of all CalTRANS employees (CalPERS)

ü  NO RESPONSE   Jerry Brown, Governor

ü  NO RESPONSE   Kamala Harris, AG  (Guess which SB County official gave Kamala $10,500?)

ü  NO RESPONSE    Lois Capps, Congresswoman

ü  NO RESPONSE   Das Williams, Assembly

  Nov. 2, 2011

  Das, Lois, Kamala and Jerry:

   I am doing a study on the pension system in CA to see if there is a way it is sustainable. I am stonewalled at every turn. I have finally, after months, received most of the documents I need,  excepting those of CALPERS. 

   When denied this information by Carol, exec. assistant of CalPERS CEO, Anne Stausboll,  I explain my alternative:  that I visit the office to see the records in person.  At this, she begins to interrogate me. What is my first name.  What is my last name.  What is my address.  What is my phone number. What is my email address.  Who do I work for.  What will I do with the information.  What kind of study.  Who is the study for. What is the purpose of the study.  What organization am I with.  When I explain taxpayers are entitled to pension information as per Govt. Code 6250-6276.48, I am quizzed as to whether I’m a pension beneficiary.  I say I am not. I ask her full name (I plan to file a complaint about her.) She refuses to identify herself.  She states that should I call Anne Stausboll

again, she will have me arrested for harassment.

   I know Governor Brown (Okay that’s enough, I said I know him, I didn’t say we were best friends.)  So I call him.  I speak with Kevin: staff lawyer, Legal Affairs.  I explain Anne Stausboll is in violation of Govt. Code 6250-6276.48, the CA Public Records Act. Kevin says he will call her immediately and advise her of the State’s obligation to release pension records to taxpayers.  He will call back to confirm it’s been done shortly. He does not. So I call him at 4:55 p.m. He is in the office, but will not come to the phone.  Instead I speak to an immediately combative man, calling himself Adrian.  When asked, he will not give his full name, position, department, or

answer whether he is a staff lawyer.  He won’t tell me where CalPERS

keeps pension information.  He says Govt pension data is available only to pensioners. When pressed, he says “write a letter” (but won’t say to whom.) I explain my deadline.  Adrian (if Adrian is, in fact, his name) says he has “no idea” if I’ll get a response.  I explain the alternative of coming for the information in person.  He says, “No you can’t.” I respond that 6250-6276.48 is at odds with what he’s told me.  I ask him to further explain the policy. He starts a sentence. But does not complete it.  I ask the format for such letters and where it is to be sent.  He answers, “The Capitol.”  I ask a full physical address, I’ll be using FedEx.  He will not provide it.  He says, “That’s stupid, FedEx goes to Highway Patrol first, takes longer than a fax.” I respond, “ I didn’t know I could fax it.  May I have the number?” At that, Adrian hangs up on me. CL

Stop! The URBANIZATION of Montecito…coming soon

THE TRUTH ABOUT CALTRANS

IT’S OFFICIAL. WE ARE SICK OF MASSIVE HIGHWAY PROJECTS!

SURVEY: CALIFORNIA VOTERS BALK AT MORE HIGHWAYS 

Voters say: “Fix It First” before Caltrans funnels more tax dollars into mammoth road expansion projects.  “If voters were in charge, (YOU MEAN THEY ARENT?) says Amanda Eaken of Sustainable Communities, “they understand what every study reveals: widening roads does not solve traffic congestion.  Focusing on our communities to increase mobility & freedom from cars…that is the solution. The survey was released just days before SCAG was to vote on Long Range Transportation PlanSCAG Region has 18 million. The voters lobbied SCAG officials and testified at public hearings to get Caltrans to scratch its highway project.

 

California is pictured as a sprawling wasteland of highway and subdivisions.  But that’s not what we want, according to this recent survey released by Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates.

What are we against?

ü  We are overwhelmingly AGAINST spending money on highways

What do we want?

ü  We overwhelmingly FAVOR spending taxes on public transit.  We do not want more highways.

What else do we want?

ü  SHORT COMMUTES

OUR GOALS:

  • Serve land use adjacent to the street; mobility is a means, not an end
  • Encourage travel by walking, bicycling, and public transit; drive less
  • Public transportation options for all ages, physical abilities, and income levels
  • Enhance street safety and security from both traffic and quality of life perspective
  • Improve our health
  • Create livable neighborhoods
  • Reduce the amount of paved area
  • Reduce water runoff
  • Maximize reuse of storm water
  • Reduce air pollution
  • Reduce energy consumption
  • Promote the economic well-being of businesses and residents
  • INCREASE CIVIC SPACE; ENCOURAGE HUMAN INTERACTION

“What makes a difference to elected officials, our decision makers, is the extent of community involvement in an issue, the community’s passion and determination –ongoing determination— not giving up, especially on controversial issues.  Consistent well-planned group persistence makes all the difference.  I cannot overemphasize the influence that an informed, active public has on local decision-making.”  Naomi Schwartz, former County Supervisor

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.

Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”   Margaret Mead,   Anthropologist (1901 – 1978)

The unintended consequence of a roundabout.

Montecito’s $20 million “roundabout” is not big enough for large Fire Engines to use nor for all the giant Von’s trucks.

Hermosillo Dr. is now a Truck Route.


Fiftieth Birthday of the CALTRANS HIGHWAY DESIGN MANUAL

Caltrans Highway Design Manual (HDM) is fifty years old yet Caltrans still uses it exclusively.  The manual favors movement of cars over any other option for moving people. It’s only use is for moving cars.  Nothing else is factored.  “It’s half a century old, yet is still the bible for Caltrans engineers.  It was used exclusively for our freeway system.” said Hans Larsen, San Jose Dept. of Trans. “Caltrans only concern is moving cars at high speeds.  They have no concerns for the local communities their projects affect. Santa Barbara Adobe Hut

Tilly Chang, Dir., SF Co. Trans. Authority (devoted to congestion mitigation &

innovative ways of moving people) is repeatedly rebuffed by Caltrans over implementation of Bus Rapid Transit. “The Caltrans Manual must change. We are in constant battle with them. They do no research on anything but moving cars. They are not a transit organization.  They are a car moving organization,” says Chang. “We must constantly go through a rigorous process for getting any treatment not in their 50-year-old manual, approved.  It’s expensive and ridiculous and wastes hours and hours of manpower.  To Caltrans, safety means vehicles.”

San Jose Trans. Authority fought Caltrans tooth and nail to narrow vehicular lanes and widen bike lanes at Tully Road.  Casey Emoto, Director: “Caltrans design standards have not caught up.  Because of this all local communities continue to be at odds with Caltrans.  Dave Campbell, East Bay Bicycle Coalition:  “Our concern is liability. If it’s not in their manual, the community becomes liable. Caltrans endorses only what is found in their  outdated manual.”  Caltrans confirms these liability issues won’t go away.

“Innovative local leaders are thwarted by Caltrans because of this outdated manual they use,” says Corinne Winter, Director, Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition.  Communities want Caltrans to relinquish control of shared state roads and allow municipalities to have final say.  It allows local engineers who live in the community to create a livable city. But, they foot the bill.  Says Larsen, “The Caltrans manual is of the Horse and Buggy

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

Caltrans doubled its engineers, and for no apparent reason, between 2000-2008: from 10,000 to 22,734.  It is far, far more expensive to use the State’s DOT than private sector engineers.

1- They have experience on actual live job sites. The vast majority of Caltrans engineers do not.  Caltrans engineers use one book They use only one book as their bible on designing freeways.  They are not creative.  They are not encouraged to be creative.  With Caltrans on you resume, it is assured you will not get the job.

2- Private engineers save tax dollars.  We avoid expense of overtime (white collar overtime being a Caltrans special,) $3,000,000 pension for 22,734 Caltrans employees, nor 30 years of paying their health insurance. Their pensions are (in billions) $6,831,000,000,000.

In 2000, Caltrans employed 10,000 engineers.

Controversy Over San Ysidro Path- Maher Letter to Montecito Journal

Media

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

As we walk down the almost completed walkway along San Ysidro Road, we are saddened to see what is happening to this community and worried about more of this kind of change happening in the future along the beautiful the treelined streets of Montecito. We fought hard to stop this project and learned much about the lies, deceit and political corruption in our town and County, because in the end that’s what this was really about.

To quote Salud Carbajal: “This was never about the safety of children.” Mr. Carbajal made that statement to us, with a smile on his face after we had confronted him with all the facts as to why this project did not make children safer.

  Backroom rumors, we didn’t want to believe, about this being political turned out to be true.

  Murdock, with two children at Montecito Union, got the ball rolling on the sidewalk project. He is a member of the organization COAST (Coalition for Sustainable Transportation). He held a fundraiser for District Supervisor, Salud Carbajal. Mr. Murdock has since moved to England, so will not be walking on this $500,000 (ccl: closer to a $1 million) Federally funded pathway. The truth is neither those liveng along San Ysidro Road, nor other members of the community, were notified until long after the federal grant was in the hands of Mr. Carbajal. We have a signed document signed residents stating that they never notified any of us. We only found out when we were notified of the surveying work that was in progress in preparation along our street. This came months after the grant had been received by Mr. Carbajal.

Then there was the infamous map (reprinted in MJ’s “Letters Nov. 14.) A map was needed to show the number of children who lived in this area. The map shows homes that are notthere having children that don’t exist. A fake map  created by whom? County Public Works? or Montecito Union School?

  The organization COAST at the center of  all.

Matt Dobberteen writes Federal Grants for County Public Works.  Dobberteen is also a member of COAST. (ccl note:Murdoch contributes vast sums to COAST under cover of his Green Parks Foundation.) If COAST has its way, there will be sidewalks with concrete ramps lined with drought-resistant cactus from the corner of East Beach to, and throughout, Montecito…

   There goes our beautiful community forever! We must keep COAST out of Montecito. COAST’s entire purpose is to spend government (our) money on unnecessary projects just because they can (ccl note: and to keep their salaries coming). This  wasteful government spending and political corruption has reached its  lowest level. No wonder our country is broke and such a mess.

We can thank politicians like Carbajal and organizations like COAST for that. It is upsetting to know this political corruption has penetrated the Montecito Association. The week before the Montecito Association voted in favor of this sidewalk project, the Montecito Planning Commission had voted against it and was supposed to recommend the Montecito Association do the same at its next meeting. We attended that meeting, and in listening to the board members it was clear that the board members (except Dick Thielscher and Dave Kent) were in Carbajal’s pocket.

When we first attended Montecito Association meetings concerning this project, we were surprised at how little the Association knew about what was happening; its directors seemed surprised that a Federally funded grant had already been attained. Mr. Murdock, Salud Carbajal, COAST, Matt Dobberteen of County Public Works, and the Montecito Association are all a part of the politically tinged scheme called the San Ysidro Pathway Project. Shame on all of you! And shame on Montecito Union School for pitting itself against this community instead of working with us. Where would Montecito Union School be without the decades of sup-port from this community? An incredible amount of time and money has been donated to this school, most of which has been given by those of us who live in and love this uniquely beautiful place called Montecito. We are proud of our fight because we did make a difference. Only three trees were cut down instead of seven. The original plan was a concrete, hard surface sidewalk that would have run straight along the curb. Without our fight there would have been unsightly railroad ties lining the walk way. The ugly, bulky cement ramps do not belong along the residential streets of Montecito but because we fought against it, at least the warning surfaces were not painted a bright red or yel-low. Because of us, far less foliage has been removed. It became very clear from day one that the supporters of this sidewalk did not care about what it would look like or what impact it would have on our environment. We would like to thank, from the bottom of our hearts, the one thou-sand local people who signed our petition against this project. All of our signatures were legitimate. We did not ask people to sign their children’s names or their pets’ names. Why did both the Montecito Association and Salud Carbajal completely ignore those one thousand signatures? We would also like to thank all the people who attended meetings and stood up and spoke bravely against this project. This is never easy to do. Thank you also to the many supporters who wrote letters to newspapers and to Salud Carbajal to let them know they were against this project. There are always a select few in these situations that do so much more, that spend endless hours and donate money to make this fight possible. So we would like to give a very special heartfelt thank you to… The Boehr Family (Jurgen, Pam, Craig and Todd) Maryanne Brillhart, Leslie Hovey

And Heather Maher. Montecito is blessed that you care so much. What the total and final cost of this project is we do not know, we do know that more money had to be obtained from the government, in addition to the $500,000, to finish the “pathway.”

The original half million was not enough. How much did we pay the expensive landscape architect? And for what? The ugly and boring drought-resistant plants that now line San Ysidro Road from North Jameson to Montecito Union School? These plants have been stuck into the ground with no rhyme or reason. It is something you would see in front of a strip mall or business area. They do not belong along these residential streets. What was this landscape architect thinking? Did she not notice that the streets of our community are lined with  foliage, every property unique and special? This is what we must protect.

   As we walk along this pathway and step aside to avoid children racing along on their bicycles, being careful not to step on the new drought-resistant plants, we have to ask safe? Or have we created a whole new safety issue? Wasn’t the bicycle lane put in for bike riding and isn’t it illegal to ride your bike on a sidewalk?

The real issue concerning safety has always been the speeding traffic and cell phone use  use while driving. You might find it interesting to know that at one of the meetings of the Montecito Association, a patrol officer reported to the board that, by far, the majority of traffic stops for speeding and cell-phone use were to parents of children at Montecito Union School. We live in a beautiful community. Visitors come and remark at how lucky we are to live here. There is nowhere else quite like it… and until recently the residents of Montecito have worked together to cherish and protect what we have. beautiful trees and many different kinds of ourselves: is this really keeping children Let’s not let what happened along San Ysidro Road happen again.

Sincerely,

The Mahers Montecito

CARBAJAL & SANTA BARBARA PUBLIC WORKS SUBMIT PHONY DOCUMENT FOR FEDERAL GRANT

MAP SAN YSIDRO

The alarm sounded re: the San Ysidro Road “sidewalk” (which cost us $1,000,000) isn’t about aesthetics.

It is about fraud.  Fraud in those who hold high elected office in Santa Barbara County.

Some background.

More of these “sidewalks” are planned for Montecito (at odds with our charter and semi-rural zoning codes.)  They are part of a much grander effort called “Safe Routes to School,” spearheaded by an organization called C.O.A.S.T.  How the San Ysidro was approved for construction is more complicated.

Ostensibly, C.O.A.S.T., advocates sidewalks and bike paths for children attending nearby schools.  The San Ysidro project began with Steve Murdoch, who administers a foundation called Green Park, and had two children at MUS (until the Murdochs moved to England.) Murdoch wanted his children to walk to school(which they could have done without spending $1 million of taxpayer dollars by using the back path town children have used to get to school for fifty years.)

To get funding for a Federal Grant for this “sidewalk” (which too close to the road to be safe for walking) Public Works had to show pressing need.  Murdoch was introduced to Mr. Carbajal by J’Amy Brown.  Mr. Carbajal introduced Murdock to Dobberteen at C.O.A.S.T., Carbajal telling Murdoch that he’d get C.O.A.S.T. to push the “sidewalk” through. Murdoch was schooled by C.O.A.S.T. and Carbajal on how to manipulate “the system” so that Murdoch would get his “sidewalk.” (The C.O.A.S.T. website indicates that Murdoch’s Foundation, Green Park, is a large contributor to their organization.) Carbajal, clandestine, then solicited the $30,000 needed for an engineering survey. For funding, Public Works needed to include a “map” to justify an urgent need for the “sidewalk.” The “map” indicates the many, many non-existent homes where “schoolchildren,” the presumed beneficiaries of the “sidewalk,” currently live. The “map” would prove a lightning rod.

Taxpayers were not informed that project was going through, nor that Carbajal, of his own volition, solicited and received $30,000 for the engineering survey, nor that the “sidewalk” construction was to begin. Not until a neighbor saw Carbajal and Murdoch at the podium at MUS, in a press release, announcing incipient construction of the “sidewalk.” Murdoch states he fully noticed neighbors they’d lose trees, landscaping, and parts of their front yards when he hand-deposited (which is illegal) notes in their mailboxes. Presumably, this would have been to give the neighbors time to object. Naturally,  no one objected because no one received this note.

What the neighbors did receive was a letter from Murdoch stating the “sidewalk” construction was beginning that week.  It was in this note, when it was too late for the neighbors to object, that he informed them of the scope of the project and the impact it would have on their properties.

There was a hue and cry.

In packed meetings of the Montecito Association, neighbor upon neighbor rebuked the Association, averring that the “map” was a fiction.  The homes, thus the “schoolchildren” did not exist.  They remarked that the intent of the map was not accuracy, but an fraudulent, and illegal, trick for the construction of an unpopular project in exchange for campaign contributions to Carbajal from Murdoch.

I phoned Matt Dobberteen, Public Works’ grant writer for the County.  My calls were not returned, so I went in person.

When we met, Dobberteen (a member of C.O.A.S.T.) said the “map” was provided by Dick Douglass, principal of MUS at the time, and Dobberteen affirmed the apocryphal map was used in his grant application.  I asked to see the grant underwriting, a Public Record, which he said he would.  This was over three months ago. I have received nothing from Dobberteen. Further phone calls to Dobberteen were not returned.  I have sent the “map” to Virginia Alvarez at MUS, asking for the school’s input.  I’ve not heard from Mrs. Alvarez.

I am informed by Jack Overall, chair of Montecito’s Planning Commission, that the County will soon begin construction of more “sidewalks” in the Cold Springs area.  The neighbors have yet to be apprised of this.

Joe Armendariz, Carpinteria Councilman Gets 2nd DUI, 80% of residents call for resignation

Joe Armendariz was arrested for the 2nd time in 5 years for Drunk Driving in Carpinteria.  He drove across a median & into oncoming traffic on Highway 101 then  he crashed.  His blood alcohol was .18%.  This is 225% higher than the legal limit of  .08%.   Blood Alcohol in excess of .15% is considered very serious and the legal consequences are much harsher.

It is the 2nd arrest for Drunken Driving in 5 years for Joe Armendariz, a Carpinteria Councilman & Chair of SBCAG (Santa Barbara County Association of Governments,) a Clandestine Group that meets secretly but is paid for by the taxpayer.

81% of local residents polled have called for the resignation of Mr. Armendariz. However, neither the Carpinteria City Council nor its Mayor have taken action to remove  Joe Armendariz in spite of the overwhelming negative response to his 2nd Drunk Driving in a relatively short time.  He has stated in the News-Press that “he has a problem with alcohol.”  Amendariz’s first arrest, in 2006, also resulted in a serious vehicular accident.

Below, a list of salaries of 19 employees of SBCAG.  There are 32. I have repeatedly requested the financial statement and names with total salaries, stipends and full compensation of all 32 SBCAG members. SBCAG has still not complied with my request.

The County Auditor, Bob Geis, says he doesn’t know where the information is or who can provide it, other than SBCAG itself.

Note: 

1)   Partial list, NOT total compensation;

2)   SBCAG has (at least) 32 employees;

3)   All Supervisors are Board Directors- Joe Armendariz, Chair; Joni Grey, Vice- Chair; Janet Wolf; Steve Lavagnino; Salud Carbajal; Doreen Farr

4)   Council members on board: Roger Aceves, Grant House, Joe Armendariz

5)   Mayor Helene Schneider, Mayor Jim Richardson (Solvang) on board

6)   Mayor Al Clark (Carp) alternate       

7) Former SB Councilman, Gregg Hart & wife, Joni, are also paid by SBCAG
