Is the Valley Voice planning on highlighting this important issue to the public and the CAO?

Grenseman was about to testify in that animal shelter case and he was definitely frightened with being called to testify. From a lawyer standpoint he was a possible risk to the county as he was wigging out; might give up the fact that the county and recently removed Judge Saucedo had directed a flagrant unlawful attack on Fabricius. The entire Fabricius matter is well documented as the complete travesty that it is — county was paying the “judges” in that case and was caught doing it. I and several others witnessed that fake hearing process which is public record and for which the county is now being sued in federal court. The fact that Grenseman was suddenly removed before he could testify is noted from back then. Here's an explanation for why he was “such a threat”. See post #18 at the following Topix blog: http://www.topix.com/forum/city/visalia-ca/TQK1S7VE820FGC1FB Quoted below, to whit: "Animal Control guy was so nervous outside that hearing he actually asked me if I needed to pee. He needed to pee and it was obvious. You guys are busted!” Apparently the County was running some kind of fraudulent “Animals for Cash” “ROUNDUP” against William Fabricius, when certain of its Animal Control officers was panicking outside a subsequent hearing on that issue — had to get rid of him most likely. Makes one wonder if the authority for the “roundup” was as ephemeral as what Wendy Jones discovered in her case. http://www.ourvalleyvoice.com/2015/01/15/trouble-tulare-county-animal-control/ In my own assessment, Paul was likely fired to assist the County in covering up the fact that Tulare County Animal Shelter is in the habit of nabbing animals from folks without proper authority and for some kind of mill scheme.

I personally am sending a letter of demand for this information. I think if many of us did this if would put pressure on the county to stop WASTING OUR MONEY. It is enough that we are paying them to have county attorneys, but to pay an outside as well.

Three years of private attorney's doesn't come cheap. My question is "why does the county have attorneys if they don't use them?" I want to offer my personal complain of the misuse of my tax money. upwards of one million of our tax dollars I would imagine. Three years of private attorney’s doesn’t come cheap.

TC seems to try to run over people without reason, and be confident that the employee just walk away from any grievence. Having been held up to ridicule by Luoma, Dr. D, and others as they tried to ride rough shode over myself. This comedy of errors by the County compounds itself by hiring an outside law firm and paying them hundreds of thousands of dollars when TC county has an army of highly paid lawyers. This is nothing but incompetence starting at the directors levels. I would hope the incompetence is weeded out and directors and managers are fired for costing the county MILLIONS. Good luck with the trial !!!! This seems to be the normal way that Tulare County operates, from the top to the bottom.

What are the county's limits? Are workers now allowed to touch every personal part!!!! Does the county understand what it takes to become a Marine Officer...a few good men. The taxpayers should revolt. What an absolute waste of tax money. There are many areas of county services that need to be addressed ie Mental Health. It would appear that some of the high ranking County officials need some help in this regard. Since when was touching women’s breasts acceptable workplace behavior. What are the county’s limits?

(WHAT??) it doesn't?? OMG....Tul Co Attorney said this?? Omg (Not surprised here) They are for the rotten employees that commit these lewd and lascivious acts. They are trying to cover it up and act like that is normal for the work place. (Only in Tulare County's work place is this considered norm) Oh and....Luoma....She is a paid puppet for Tulare County. We know this from experience. She says what she has to say and gets paid the big bucks! She knows exactly what is going on behind the walls, from Tulare County Sheriff's Department and Tulare County Animal Control and HHSA....etc..etc..etc.. Mendoza is still employed because she know where the bodies are buried (so to speak). Maybe they need to talk to her husband....the one in jail! Mendoza is still an employee, just like that Officer at the Sheriff's Department, Wheeler, (that sent a picture of his wiener to the female employee at the sheriff's department. He is also still a cop, that investigates crimes, just like the one he committed while working as a cop, that Tulare Co had to pay out 300000.00 What a bunch of morons. Yes...he still is a cop! This is why there is so much corruption in this county.
