The only thing that can be more NAUSEATING is the fact that we only have these two candidates to choose from and that anyone would even consider voting for either one!

Mr. Oldenburg, I have not sat on any Hospital Board meetings and witnessed how well Mr. Harrell performs his duties as board secretary but I am glad to know he does what he is expected to. As I said in an earlier post related to the article on Mr. Jones so-called homophobic slurs, which I will say again were actually not that at all, I am very cautious about voting ex-police officers into office. I also think it would be fair to say that you and I probably have a very different experience with law enforcement as I am a person of color in a conservative county while you are a white male. So forgive me if I there are trust issues there. But! I can’t believe after knowing Mr. Harrell’s additude about his son’s current arrest you are unofficially endorsing him??? Yes, stand by your children, support them always, but don’t be a hypocrite in doing it. He was better off not saying anything about weather his son did any of what he was arrested for. The best way he could support his son would be to drop everything else and focus on helping him. Yes, that would leave us with no one to choose from but when those are the choices why choose at all? Why not focus our efforts in trying to remove Mr. Jones.? The fact that Steve Harrell’s son was arrested for soliciting sex with a minor bears no reason at all for my not feeling he is unfit for his election bid, it is his nonchalant additude about the entire thing and his obvious denial, that his son looks to have an actual problem and needs help. If a person is not willing to admit their own child needs help how can we expect him to help the city of Tulare to its fullest capacity??? Please! Get real !

In reply to Smith.

Thanks for the tip. Let’s hope instead that he loses the election and slips back into obscurity.

I, too, have been fooled by Jones in the past. I had such great hopes for our district only to be disappointed. Although yours is not “an Article”, you merely need to reach out to the Fresno Fire department to inquire about their reaction to Jones’ malicious destruction of his opponents property and his defaming of him on social media shortly thereafter. As a first responder, I certainly would not want any members of my brotherhood acting as Jones’ has over the past years. You’ll find a story there. Vote Harrell!

Good read. I agree with your view points. I also hope that Catherine resurrects Political Fix as soon as she is able.

Well stated!!

I personally had 3 people die unnecessarily during those dark days of hospital mismanagement.
We weee helpless when Mathis refused to cooperate.

I too have witness things at council meetings. So sad to watch.
