Supervisors Stay Out of Political Fray in Naming Interim DA

RHS

That statement is both intellectually dishonest and factually completely wrong.  You clearly have neither looked into the issues nor chosen to become educated on the actual facts.  In the future I strongly suggest you do so before spouting off so foolishly again.

You have every right to state your political preference for one candidate over the other and the reasons for your choice, but at least have the integrity to do so honestly and accurately.

I applaud the move by the Board of Supervisors in choosing Bramsen, who has no declared intent in running for the office of DA.

Before this decision, Mr. Lynn was pushing hard to remain in the top chair.  He even ordered all letterhead, signs & business cards to show his name as DA.

But immediately after this decision, he spoke approvingly of the Supervisors decision.

He was effectively demoted by the Board of Supervisors.
Spin it any way you like.

It’s interesting that letters and comments from “RHS” keep popping up all over the place on the internet.  He definitely seems to have inside inside access to Lynn’s campaign and has parrotted Lynn’s libelous ludicrous litanies all over local cyberspace. 

Hmmm, makes one wonder if it isn’t Lynn’s campaign manager, the mysterious Jim O’Shaugnessy of Santa Ynez.  He popped up out of nowhere, seems to have no job or visible means of support or income, and is rumored to be the architect of Lynn’s stupid stumbles and fumbles this past week in trying to smear his opponent, Senior Deputy DA Joyce Dudley. 

Dudley is the obvious front-runner in the race having out-raised Lynn funding-wise during the first reporting period, garnered more high-level and prestigious endorsements than Lynn, and has many more years and much more experience than Lynn in the DAs Office.

Now Lynn loses the Acting DA slot which he had so zealously exploited for a campaign advantage for the few weeks he was holding that position, and had so libidonously pursued as a permanent appointment from the Board of Supervisors. After the intent of the Board was clear to allow his boss, Chief Assistant DA Ann Brensman (the true #2 in the office under former DA Stanley, to assume the job pursuant to succession rules under state law, Lynn disingenuously went to the podium and said he was against personally receiving such an appointment all along and felt it should go to Brensman.  Disingenuous because just last week he and his office were starting to use new official stationery listing him as Acting District Attorney.  Kinda presumptive, wasn’t it Mr. Lynn?

As he so readily found out at the board meeting, he shouldn’t presume anything, especially that he will be sitting in the DAs chair come June.  Don’t order a chair with your name on it, Mr. Lynn.
