Better wear some hip boots….. Catherine’s post let a lot of dogs out and they are posting a lot of …..wild stuff! lol

To Ummmmmm…thank goodness for Mike Lampe for keeping Tulare honest. And for anyone who keeps up on Tulare politics, we know who you are.

Thanks, Tony, you’re awesome! I’ll have to check out the PoliticalbFix column!

Chris,

Thank you for the heads up. I see which comment you’re referring to and it’s been taken down.

We have a system that emails us every time someone comments, but there has been an absolute avalanche of discussion on Catherine’s recent Political Fix column that practically drowned out every other comment email coming in.

During that time I pointed out to the Voice that anonymous commenters on their news articles were using multiple aliases to spread misinformation about Measure I and proponents of change at the hospital district. The Valley Voice was very responsive and started the commenter ID system, so it would be evident if one person was using multiple aliases.

During that time defamatory charges were made by anonymous posters about my husband,Kevin, and Senovia. Gutierrez. But when you step up for public office that goes with the territory and fortunately the community was not swayed by these lies (even when they came from “bots” outside the country).

Unfortunately, in this thread of comments a defamatory comment has been posted and has appeared for days about a community member that is not a public figure by an anonymous poster. She is not related to the topic of the article, so the commenter appears to take advantage of the ability to post anonymously in a public forum to slander.

I ask that the Valley Voice monitor the comments on their website and remove malicious posts about community members that are not public figures and are not connected to the article.

Spot on

George …i agree with your analysis of the situation. However, the City does NOT need yet another independent investigation. Unfortunately when an issue like this is faced with an independent investigation, the private party (aka
Nunley) is able to tell his entire story even if the facts are true or not and city staff is held to the “public servant” standard where they have to bite their tongue so as to not infer the customer (in this case the Council member) is wrong. So with all due respect, a private investigation is not the answer with this. The answer is for council member Nunley to step down, comes to terms with himself and his priorities (his own financial well-bpeing) and quit blaming the city for his financial woes. He has created his own demise. Not the past 20 years of city management.
