They have a police report lol

Patrick
No I didn’t tell the family they had no choice .They did have a choice I told them the truth . There was two families. The one family was the legal owner of the first grave and they had a legal right to it . Both graves were open at this point . The second family ask if we could cover them back up and leave it . I told them yes we could . I told them say the words and the employees will do that . However it would have been wrong to not inform them that the other family who were standing 100 feet away wanted their loved one in the proper plot. The one they had a legal right to and it was very likely if they go to court the judge would grant them a legal right to correct it . It’s equivalent to holding the pink slip of a car that was sold to someone else . The legal owner is the one with the pink slip . The first family was politely firm and I respect that. I think it would have been wrong not to inform the second family about that possibility . They could have ended up coming back months later and repeating this traumatic event. At this time my belief was we had the proper paperwork however the family was so stressed out I felt that they deserve the opportunity to make the decision. There was no way we where going to go against the wishes of the second family. I had let the first family know that if the second family asked to stop and cover the graves back up that we would do that . We would have let the court settle it . The first family understood that and had sympathy for the other family. The second family made the decision. Yeah it wasn’t easy for them but none of the other options were easy. The second family told me they didn’t want to go though the pain again . I have nothing but sympathy for both families and I right there and then called for a special board meeting to deal with this , which we had the very next day .

However let me ask you this . If this is an on going investigation then why was it release to a News Paper. Shouldn’t I have been released after the investigation is complete ? Wouldn’t the release of this report potential create problems if it’s still being investigated. You are a smart person ! What’s your opinion?

All lies and false accusations which is nothing new . The ValleyVoice article is written to give people a false impression. I’m not under any investigation. Catherine says according to the report but that’s not the truth . Catherine says “ witnesses corroborate “ but that a lie . She wants to fool readers into thinking the police report found other people who corroborated a false accusations but the truth is that only one person was interviewed in that report. Catherine is making that up ? She doesn’t say how this corroboration fits . That’s because it doesn’t and she just wants people to get tricked into believing that . The ValleyVoice works with political activists to engineer political stunts . Alex Gutierrez , Alberto Aguilar and Catherine Doe plan this little call to arms just like what happens in National politics. A big news story is released followed by the activists call to action . Just look at them maneuver now that the big story kicked off . They are demanding I resign and Pete Vanderpoel replace me , Charlie Ramos and Steve Presant with their political hacks. Notice they have nothing to say about the cemetery itself ? Because they don’t care . The cemetery was a disaster 4 years ago and today it green and beautiful, plus the cemetery district is financially strong . Watch how mad they get when I say that ! It really gets to them . People like Patrick and Barbara ignore the facts that the ValleyVoice defended Vicky Gilson after she moved to Missouri and she was no longer eligible to serve as a board member. The ValleyVoice wrote articles and made FB comments defending her . However the BOS weren’t fooled and replaced her . Also the ValleyVoice has protected Alberto Aguiar after he illegally gave public evaluations of Cemetery employees. Alberto voted for the settlement agreement with the former manager. The vote was 5-0 . Why ? Because his actions put the cemetery district at risk for a massive lawsuit. Why hasn’t the ValleyVoice reported on this ? The cemetery district found that Alberto violated our settlement agreement and Confidentiality and voted 4-0 to send his wrong doing to the Tulare Co DA . Why is there a email with Catherine Doe where she is collaborating with Alex Alberto and Vicky Gilson. Should a journalist be active in a political ploy ?

Maybe Santa?

Well said Patrick!

Board members are public figures. The media does not need “permission” to report on the activities of government officials, large or small.
