Yes. Glenn County should end the war on drugs glenncountyliberty. That would help. Lets make Meth and Heroin legal so we have more crack-head whack jobs committing crimes. I guess since it is legal, they wouldn't need to steal to pay for the stuff still, right??? And Meth heads are always rational and non-violent. So, they won't hurt people if drugs are legal.... Whatever. You are a tool.
Unfortunately, Glenn County law enforcement is paid less than Butte, Tehama, Lake, and Colusa County. The information is actually pretty easy to obtain, if you want it. Almost all of the agencies around have their salaries listed on their websites. It is public information.
Mr. Holsinger- If the city is so strong and we are ready for growth, then why are we looking at contracting out our police services? In the latest council meetings (regarding the budget), it is all doom and gloom. Now you and Hansen are saying things are looking up. Then, I guess we don't need to get rid of the police department.
Except we all know that you and the council will continue to look at pushing for consolidation. Holsinger wants to do it because he doesn't like them. Hansen wants to do it so he can run the show when he runs for Sheriff in a couple of years. It would be nice if all of you gave your honest reasons as to why you want to get rid of the police department (since you are going back on your original reason in the article above)...
There is absolutely no reason to consolidate Orland PD with the Sheriffs Office. The Sheriff's Office can't even take care of the responsibilities they have now. Why would you want to get less police protection for a higher cost? And for god sakes, there is no way Orland should even think about sharing the manager with Willows. He has alienated too many business owners in Willows. Lets not make Orland's business climate worse than Willows.
And now you can say goodbye to your Police Department in Willows. Lets see how long it takes for the retaliation to start (again) against the department that spoke out against him...
Mossy - Get on your little computer and look up the California Penal Code. Section #503 (Embezzlement) is the fraudulent appropriation of property (money) to a person entrusted. It is a felony of public funds of U.S., State, county, or city. There is nothing in there regarding "paying it back" or "intending to pay it back". It is the taking and using of money (or property) that is not yours. I don't want to see Chief Carr hung out to dry. I want the law to be enforced on her as it would on everyone else. Embezzlement and stealing are two different things. So, I will return the "moron" sign to you and let you wear it appropriately.
It doesn't matter if she is a woman or man, the color of her skin, her religion, or any other bias. She committed a felony while on duty, period. She should not be back as a police officer or a police supervisor. She should have been fired. The rank-and-file will never come around. She has lost their trust and I am not sure how any of the citizens of Orland can trust her now either. If a citizen did this to his/her employer, that citizen would be facing charges (if the employer reported the crime). This is a absolute disgrace.
The Willows City Manager, Mr. Holsinger, should be on the phone to Crystal Geyser Monday morning. Bring the business to south county if Orland doesn't want it. I don't think he will do it though. That would mean that he is proactively seeking businesses for Willows. That just doesn't happen around here....
Let me get this straight - The Chief commits a felony while on duty (embezzlement - use of public funds for personal gain) and she gets to keep her job??? Awesome. I need to get a job there. Then I can do some coke, kidnap some hookers, and go on a robbery spree (all felonies too). Then, I will get a few paid weeks off and return to work like everything is okie-dokie.... Nice work city attorney
