He rests easy at night knowing he can simply place blame on any individual that sits on the council, I am sure it won’t be the city Attorney, her office is and will be the good Mayor Jones’ defense, funny how that works almost like it was pre-planned. The City Manager.......Yikes, I’d keep the gas tank full buddy.....The good Mayor Jones is self righteous and pompous he won’t go down with out a fight figuratively and physically I am sure. The good Mayor Jones has been caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar more than the Cookie Monster. Not a person dare try to remove him from his pulpit of power and deceit...... impeach the good Mayor Jones...you will be shunned a racist by all accounts a no gooder a rebel rouser ... god forbid he comes after you or sends another to do his bidding. I was born and raised in Tulare.... been around the world seen a few things..... This situation...... the good Mayor Jones, the Police Department, The City of Tulare.....at this point I think the citizens of Tulare are to be listed as Victim #1 the TPD-3 Victims #2,#3 & #4. The Police Department as a whole Victim #5....... Suspect #1 the good Mayor Jones and I can only imagine the co-conspirators he shall implicate. It’s like a Lifetime movie or HBO miniseries, when it all comes out definitely 20/20 or 60 minutes. I pray for the city, because I can’t afford to move. Chief/ Cap/ L-T keep your heads up. Stay in the fight. This has become a joke to the good Mayor Jones…….he is the one pulling all the strings.

It would be a start to a change. Tulare changed the Hospital Board they can change the City Council. I also wonder why the Mayor and Police Union took tax dollars from Tulare and dined at Cattlemans in Selma and not at a Tulare Restraunt could it be they wanted to not be seen? Something stinks in Tulare and it's not the Sewer Plant.

The Mayor shouldn't be privy to information that the rest of the council isn't. I guess unless he is personally involved. Hopefully the City will finally respond and give Ben and the rest of us the answers we seek. Good Job Ben, It’s sad that it takes lawsuits to get a response.

If the city council is kept out of the loop then why does he know who the investigator is and why is he telling PK and not the residents of Tulare.

This is totally uncalled for. Let them all pay for all the lawsuits headed the City's way. Taxpayers deserve answers.
