The public is asking for San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos to lose his PENSION and be Criminally Charged.
Same for San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, the Judge, and all others involved in this criminal activity against a small business owner in Indiana.
A Report back is the LAST thing the residents of San Mateo County want.
Remember the MORE than $10M of PPE left out at the San Mateo County Event Center and the CONVOY of Garbage Trucks filled with PPE reported leaving in November and December 2021. Scott Johnson had declared all of the PPE outside was a TOTAL LOSS, He made that declaration in writing on November 10, 2021. It turns out that was a False statement.
Why is there NO OUTRAGE from the FIVE SUPERVISORS and County Executive?
This is just one reason San Mateo County News.com is Endorsing Rishi Kumar for Congress.
“Rishi Kumar is the real deal, It’s that simple. Just ask yourself of all of the San Mateo County Elected Officials and Candidates for Offices in this next election, how many are willing to take simple stances for justice? How many are running for ethics-in-politics? Rishi Kumar will fight for the people and will never sell out. You can trust Rishi to get things done!”
Sock Pow Zock! Holy Batmobile and Misuse of Power Caper!
San Mateo County Sheriff spends taxpayer money, dispatching deputies to browbeat a Batmobile manufacturer in Indiana
San Mateo County Sheriff dispatched a squad of deputies to Indiana over a local business dispute. This wasted taxpayer dollars and caused a social media furor
Rishi has always called out these transgressions, whether in the recent case of the Valley Water Board or Anna Eshoo’s misleading claims regarding her legislative record
Rishi’s run is about ethics in politics, and he will always take action to back up his words
This draws a stark contrast between Anna Eshoo and Rishi Kumar (there are no Republicans on the November ballot), a difference that will help you cast your vote this November!
Truth can be stranger than fiction, and the tale of the San Mateo County Sheriff dispatching a squad of local deputies over 2000 miles away to browbeat a builder of replica Batmobiles in Indiana (allegedly on behalf of a friend in Atherton) seemed like something out of a cartoon. Or was it just San Mateo County politics as usual?
Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos had just lost to challenger Captain Christina Corpus in the June primary election, but as a lame duck, Sheriff Bolanos committed an serious violation of ethical principles. Allegedly doing a favor for a friend, Sheriff Bolanos misspent taxpayer dollars to crowbar a minor business dispute into criminal court. It is time for Sheriff Bolanos to resign and help the county put this embarrassment behind it.
Rishi Kumar has made it a top priority to scrub our government clean of corruption no matter the party affiliation or allies of those in question. The Bolanos Batmobile scandal exceeds the limits of what we as a community can permit. This is an outrageous example of petty corruption in our district. Rishi has proved his willingness to stand against unsavory practices and corrupt politicians, opposing Santa Clara Valley Water District Measure A and calling for the resignation of four board members after they disingenuously extended their eligibility to four consecutive terms, while spending $3.2 million of taxpayer dollars.
Rishi’s anti-corruption stance contrasts sharply with incumbent Anna Eshoo’s history of selling out to Big Pharma. She is the U.S. Congress’s largest recipient of money from the pharmaceutical industry, and she has failed to take action on healthcare reform that might cut into Big Pharma’s profits. Eshoo shamelessly claims the achievements of others in order to gain political power, pointing to 45 bills she supposedly “passed” during her time in office. Only four of these (all trivial) were actually sponsored by her.
Rishi will always reject money from Special Interest groups in his campaign. He will only accept money from people like you, and this pledge will never be broken. On the city council, he has always rejected land-developer money.
As a Representative, Rishi will be in a position to bring real change. He is a beacon of hope, fighting against the corrupt practices of selfish politicians. For your interests, not special interests – and never turning a blind eye to corruption.
Sincerely,
Rishi Kumar, U.S. House of Representative, district 16 candidate.
Supervisor David Canepa is a Candidate for Congress.
The Edais family of Daly City, have asked Supervisor David Canepa to resign.
Here is just ONE reason why.
President of the Board of Supervisors David Canepa and former Mayor of Daly City, California never once communicated to the Edais family about the Very Suspicious Death of their loved one. This traumatized family who is simply searching for the honest answers into the cause of death of 32 year old Munir Edais a Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Officer who died sometime between January 19-21, 2020.
Since when has getting a second opinion a bad or negative thing.
Do Police Departments ever make mistakes? YES
Do Coroners ever make mistakes or get it wrong? YES
San Mateo Residents know or should know about Coroner Robert Foucralt and Organ Harvesting thanks to a very brave Picon Family. Nicholas Picon R.I.P. October 2006.
The Edais family reached out to David Canepa the newly appointed President of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors for help. He responded by giving his private cellphone number.
Here is what the sister has said about that interaction.
I only use Facebook to post information about my brother Munirs death. Right when I opened the app, I came across this video of an 11 year old girl speaking about her experience with the mayor abusing his powers. Long story short, she earned a black belt in Taekwondo, but couldn’t receive it because her mom voiced her opinion on the recall. The mayor uninvited her to the ceremony making tons of excuses why. This girl is only a few years younger than me, and inspired me to speak about my issue regarding David Canepa running for congress.
She was talking about the Successful Recall of Foster City Council member Herb Perez.
On January 19, 2021, my family and I reached out to supervisor David Canepa, at the time, in hopes of him helping us with our brothers death. My brother, Munir Edais was reported dead on January 21, 2020 by a supposed suicide. Trying to find some answers answers regarding Munirs death, we reached out to David Canepa. He sent me a private message saying to call him, and left us his phone number. We called him, and got the opposite reaction of what we expected. He was very rude and unsympathetic. He claimed Daly City police department had the best investigators and yelled at us saying “what are you guys doing!”He said we need to shut down our instagram page, and rest with the fact that Munir killed himself. But if DCPD had good investigators we wouldn’t be here begging him for help.
Our family has had many sleepless nights trying to think about which steps to take next. We had no time to mourn the death of our loved one because our main focus is putting away those who caused us this heart ache. As a resident of Daly City and San Mateo County, we deserve better elected officials. after all, we’re the ones voting them in.
Why would the President of SMC BOS tell a Family they need to shut down their Instagram page?
What does David Canepa know about the Very Suspicious Death of a Police Officer in his Daly City Apartment that I don’t know?
Here is what I know, according to an Audio Expert who has examined the 911 call placed at 1:59:10 AM on January 21, 2020. A second voice has been confirmed in close proximity to Eman.
What does Candidate for Congress David Canepa say about the SECOND VOICE on the 911 call?
Another thing for David Canepa to think about is that the Edais Family recently asked for Daly City Manager Shawnna Maltie to be FIRED or RESIGN. She announced her RETIREMENT.
On January 14, 2022 I published my first article about the More than $10M of PPE that was left outside unprotected at the San Mateo County Event Center I included a link to ABC7 News I-Team Investigative Reporter Dan Noyes excellent coverage and Breaking Story that included Interviews with Mike Callagy and Supervisor David Canepa who were quick to call this a Mistake. I said “This was not a Mistake”
A reasonable person might ask what would make me say that?
It’s really quite simple, I have been reporting on Organized Crime, Corruption, Money Laundering, Embezzlement in San Mateo County Government and the Courts for 22 years.
Again I say Thank You, Dan Noyes for bringing this very Important story to the San Mateo County Residents.
I was the first reporter to report that San Mateo County Risk Manager Scott Johnson had declared on NOVEMBER 10, 2022 that he had personally inspected the PPE outside the SMCEC and in his opinion it was a TOTAL LOSS. That is 64 days before Mike Callagy and David Canepa said it was a MISTAKE.
September 27, 2021 e-mail informing San Mateo County Government that the PPE is now OUTSIDE. That is 108 days before Mike Callagy and David Canepa said it was a MISTAKE.
From: Steve Perich sperich@smcec.co Sent: Monday, September 27, 2021 3:49 PM To: Iliana Rodriguez IRodriguez@smcgov.orgCc: Dana Stoehr dstoehr@smcec.co; Avinesh Pal apal@smcec.co Subject: PPE Update Hi Iliana, As you probably are aware, all PPE has been moved out of Fiesta Hall and is currently stored in a fenced area between Gates 9 & 10. The Red Cross was only able to take the 10 adjustable hospital beds (MASH type). Their storage area was not large enough to accommodate the remaining five bariatric beds nor the five “home style” hospital beds, all of which are in the outdoor storage area. The plan is to move as much as possible into Sequoia Hall after the SaaStr Conference, to protect it from the elements. The would require the County to rent Sequoia Hall as it would be filled with PPE. The following items would be relocated first. If any space remains, we will move the most useful of the remaining into Sequoia. Masks Gloves Beds All remaining FMS items and empty containers Bleach
Please let me know if you are in agreement with the above.
The Five Supervisors of San Mateo County don’t want the residents/voters to know the Truth about the More than $10M of PPE purchased with Federal Grants FEMA according to James Brown President of the Wine Country Marines of Sonoma.
On January 13, 2022 Mike Callagy County Manager and Supervisor David Canepa, Candidate for Congress, both high ranking San Mateo County Government Officials told ABC 7 News Investigative Reporter/Journalist Dan Noyes who broke the story that they didn’t know anything about the More than $10,000,000.00 of PPE that was moved out of the SMC Event Center. They both were QUICK to identify this as a MISTAKE, and they had NO Idea how this happened, “They were calling in the Marines” and an Independent Investigation was going to be ordered to make sure this never happened again. Notice the Investigation was not meant to identify How many San Mateo County Employees knew about this and for how long.
Here is one of Mike Callagy’s employees who knew in September: Iliana Rodriguez,
I offer these 2 e-mails as a start, this is getting close to answer the question, Who Ordered the More than $10M of PPE to be moved from the secure and protected building at San Mateo County Event Center in September 2021?

Agenda Item #5 Update on Event Center Surplus Safety Equipment
This was the title for Agenda Item 5 of the March 22, 2022 Board of Supervisors Meeting. That might explain why there was only ONE public comment on this topic.
The person that put this on the Agenda was San Mateo County Manager Mike Callagy, with the approval of County Counsel.
I would say this was more of a regurgitation of the same story that Mr. Callagy has been promoting since January 13, 2022, when he told ABC 7 I-Team Investigative Reporter Dan Noyes that he knew nothing about it.
In San Mateo County Manager Mike Callagy’s Presentation he fails to mention these three, that I reported on the day before in the above article.
Deputy County Manager Iliana Rodriguez, San Mateo County Chief Financial Officer Roberto Manchia, Department of Emergency Management Director Daniel Belville.
County Manager to the Board of Supervisors March 22, 2022 “I think the Important thing is that we are TRANSPARENT. We own up to it, and we learn from it”
I personally think the Important thing is tell the truth from the Get Go.
Let me give a simple example, On January 13, 2022 SMC County Manager Mike Callagy never mentions James Brown or the Wine Country Marines a 501-C in Sonoma. He did say “We brought in the Marines.”
He doesn’t mention Iliana Rodriquez of his office has been vetting James Brown and WCM since December 2021.
Mike Callagy, Don Horsley, David Canepa, Carole Groom, Warren Slocom and Dave Pine. You are NOT TRANSPARENT.
Red Flag 1:39:00 mark, “The other goods were eventually moved outside for temporary storage and were regrettably ah remained there during the significant storms last fall LEADING TO THE INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION.” What do you know about this Independent Investigation so far? What is the scope of this Investigation? Is the Investigation about the significant storms? Why was there an update without having this Investigator make a presentation at the BOS meeting?
Red Flag 1:39:11 mark, “We’ve been lucky enough throughout this AFTER ACTION to really partner with Wine Country Marines to continue to work on distributing these surplus equipment. Everybody knows what an AFTER ACTION is, Right?
The residents of San Mateo County remember what the Foster City Gang of 3 did to their City Manager.
Foster City Manager Peter Prinejad was FIRED for ZERO reason. The residents of Los Altos Hills are the winners in that case they now have a Great City Manager.
Update: 4:00 PM March 17, 2022 Attorney for San Mateo County Daniel T. McCloskey appeared and informed the Judge that Mr. Eblovi filled a Motion to Dismiss the case 2 weeks ago. The Judge checked his records and said the court has no record of that being filed. Mr. Eblovi did not make an appearance.
DAVID C. EBLOVI vs. COUNTY OF SAN MATEO – 21CV002208
This is a case to watch, Why would a resident of Half Moon Bay, California be compelled to Sue the Government of San Mateo County over the Homicide of Sandra Lee Harmon R.I.P. by the Sheriff’s Office Employees on May 5, 2020.
Why would David Eblovi file the Lawsuit in Alameda County and not San Mateo County?
Why does San Mateo County Government want this case heard in SMC?
Mr. Eblovi knows the truth about how San Mateo County Government works and it is the Residents who are responsible for the behavior of ALL Government Officials.
“Thrown Out” is not a legal term and I would not have used it, if DDA Kimberly Perrotti had not said it in court.
Yesterday was a first for me in 22 years observing and reporting of SMC Courts. San Mateo County District Attorney Deputy Kimberly Perrotti informed the court that she had personally contacted the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s prosecutor who was trying a case that Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez’s Co-Counsel Erica Elizabeth Treeby was the defense attorney in. She reported to Judge Scott that Ms. Treeby would be available on March 17, 2022 in SMC, because of this alleged conversation. She did not identify this person, and this person has not been called to testify about this alleged conversation and there was no declaration filed.
I think it would be great for the public to know about that entire conversation from start to finish.
I would like to know how many times DDA Kimberly Perrotti has checked up on the Defense Attorneys opposing her?
Remember this is a Political Prosecution of Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez it’s that simple. Photo below is from 2014. You do the math for lost wages and cost to Defend against these False Charges, that were “THROWN OUT”
How many of you think Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez is guilty of this Smuggling Case?

I still call him Sheriff Deputy because he was forced to retire by ‘Those Who Matter.”
Do you remember this photo and announcement that “Those Who Matter” had their media share with the residents of San Mateo County in 2014?
You would expect your Government, Elected Officials, including Judges and appointed employees like San Mateo County Counsel and San Mateo County Manager to have in place a simple data base to assure that nobody is Falsely Charged with any crime.
“Those Who Matter” know that it will be yesterdays news by tomorrow.
Most people who are Falsely Charged with a boat load of Felonies, will sooner or later accept a plea deal from the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez is not like most people. He wants a Fair Jury Trial and he wants the public to be able to observe it. He has never wavered.
One of his charges which is Very Serious is this one. Notice the date of the alleged crime.
Penal Code 115(a) Felony Procuring and offering a False or Forged Instrument April 23, 2012
I recommend that San Mateo County District Attorney and Sheriff Office Investigate the 45 male Sheriff Employees that were reported to me in early 2010. Check their Mortgage and Insurance Documents for a PC115 (a) Violation, that would FAIR and a service to the residents of SMC.
Hon. Judge Joseph Scott and DDA Kimberly Perrota have been working extremely hard to make sure there is NO MENTION of Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez arrested at Gun Point to the head and Falsely Charged with Smuggling 2 Cellphones and Drugs to an Inmate in the Redwood City Jail where he worked.
A reasonable person would ask, What happened to those charges?
If you are a concerned citizen I invite you to watch the hearing this morning at 9:30 AM in Courtroom 2G. You are responsible for the behavior of the Sheriff, District Attorney, Judges, County Counsel, Supervisors.
I have said for more than 7 years now the Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez case is one of the most exciting cases in San Mateo County History. If “Those Who Matter” can do this to a SMC Sheriff Deputy who ran for Sheriff in 2014 what do you think they can do to YOU.
