Backing Rosenthal June 7
We are choosing to vote for Monica Rosenthal for District 1 County Supervisor. We have known Monica and worked with her on various issues for over 20 years. We have watched her consistently demonstrate her commitment to public service in many ways. You can see specific details, too numerous to mention here, on her website.
In every instance, Monica does her homework and asks the right questions in order to make the most informed decision. She knows how to listen. Monica was ubiquitous after the Valley Fire, working tirelessly to help as many people as possible to meet their immediate needs, while planning for the long term in rebuilding their lives and restoring Lake County to the best it can be. Monica has remained timely and current yet she considers the long range impacts that decisions will have on those not yet born. She sincerely cares about what Lake County will look like and be in the future.
While each of the four candidates running for this seat possess specific strengths, Monica is the best choice, based not only on her track record, but on her overall experience and knowledge of Lake County as a whole.
We encourage you to join us and vote for Monica Rosenthal for Supervisor on June 7th.

Lake County employees hard at work
I was reading in the Record Bee where our powers to be approved an ordnance, together with our Community Development Department, to go around our zoning ordnance code. That was smart thinking by Scott DeLeon and our Community Development directors. That is very important that these property owners that were harmed by the fire get special treatment by our county and I believe they should also get special treatment by the State of California and some of their excessive rules. Because we have hung them out to dry long enough this was not any of their fault in any way, shape or form like I have said in the past, I believe all this occurred from the State of California’s lack of interest regarding our excessive fire fuel that was not taken care of.
Regarding Mr. Steele’s questions regarding septic systems, I have put many, many septic systems in around the burn out area including Hidden Valley, and if the septic systems were working before they left their house prior to the fire they are still good today unless they were run over. Because if they were living in the house and the septic system was not working properly the first time they flushed the toilet you would know instantly that there was a septic problem. Those leach lines and septic tanks have been sitting there for months without any use; with all the trees burnt and everything around them would tell me that they are almost good as new.
When I started putting septic systems in William Arnone was the environmental director that was sent here by the State of California to solve Lake County’s septic problems back in the day when I could buy a permit for a perk test and a septic system for the price of $7. That included inspection. I believe most of those septic systems are still good and if they worked before they will work now. Right now that would be a costly expense for the property owners to have to start new…remember if it’s not broke don’t try to fix it or you will end up with less that you had.
By the way … I have been working in my yard and have watched a minimum of 12 logging trucks go by my house with a full load of logs from the burned out area. Curiosity — who is ripping the logs or the money for the logs from the property owners that were damaged, where is all this money going? I see some very good looking logs and I have a question I would like to know why many of these logs did not stay close to the damaged areas and a portable lumber saw or saw mill could have been brought in to the burn area and made good lumber right here in Lake County to sell dirt cheap to all the County residents that lost their homes due to fire. Now it appears their trees are being stolen from their property and in one way or another, and in reality, they are paying full price for their own lumber that was ripped from their property.
If I was the supervisor today believe me I would fix this in a heart beat for the benefit of all our Lake County tax payers. This type of things are not breaking our county financially and hurting all our tax payers.

Can’t handle it
I see the City of Lakeport is redoing Bevins St.
They say because they can no longer take care of it.
The next street to be done must be South Main St.
As its apparent the city can no longer take care of it either
