“When God He is speaking, That voice in your ear

He talks of your joys, He shows you your fears…”

“Each year, we combine a short remembrance ceremony with a community ride through Grass Valley and Nevada City. We ride to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, including the first responders who gave their lives trying to save others. But we also ride because we want our own local first responders to know that we see them.”

“…there are groups of people that are so enraged over events that are not their issue.  It’s like they need to keep the fight or flight chemicals flowing, like an addiction.”

“Committees and organizations opposing Proposition 50 raised and spent tens of millions of dollars. Proposition 50 passed by nearly 29 percentage points. Nearly one year later, California Republicans deserve a simple answer: What happened?”

Nevada County’s Board accepted an FPPC penalty for illegal Measure V mailers. Weeks later Supervisor Hardy Bullock publicly rejected those findings. The GOP wants him to resign; other supervisors stayed silent and costs remain unexplained.

Supervisor Hardy Bullock joined a 5-0 July vote accepting Nevada County’s FPPC Measure V settlement and $31,500 penalty, then publicly rejected those findings. A 2022 court had already ordered emotional ballot language removed before the mailers.

Supervisor Hardy Bullock publicly defended failed Measure V after Nevada County stipulated to seven FPPC violations and a $31,500 penalty. Taxpayers still deserve a complete public accounting of every cost beyond the known $34,614 mailers.

“I will bring that same steady, roll-up-your-sleeves approach to the school board: listen first, ask practical questions early, set clear goals, and follow through.”

Nearly four years after Nevada County voters rejected Measure V, California’s political ethics watchdog has formally concluded that the County used taxpayer money to campaign for the sales-tax measure — and the case is prompting broader questions about whether state law does enough to deter government agencies from using public resources to influence elections.

“NID is far more than pipes and paperwork. It is a network of reservoirs, treated and untreated water for homes and agriculture, hydroelectric power, and the lakes and trails where our families spend their weekends. Protecting all of it for the next generation is at the heart of why I am running.”

“Those aren't anti-law-enforcement questions. They are oversight questions.”

“The answer to disagreement in a free society is not less speech, it’s more speech, better arguments, greater transparency and a public willing to listen to one another.”

“Long-term financial sustainability is measured not simply by whether the next budget balances, but by whether future taxpayers inherit obligations they can realistically afford.”

When that trust is called into question, voters should not simply hope things improve. They should demand better.

The U.N. Commission reports that Israeli forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children since October 2023, killing at least 20,179 and injuring 44,143.
