Mike Nevin - NEW EXCUTIVE DIRECTOR

[Michael Stogner]

The Service League of San Mateo County, has recently announced that
Mike Nevin is the new Executive Director.

Helping rebuild the lives of inmates, former inmates, their children and families.

The Service League of San Mateo County is a non-profit agency that develops, coordinates, and delivers in-custody programs, services within all San Mateo County jails. The agency delivers after-release programs and services at five program sites in the community.

"The twelve member search committee highly recommended Mr. Nevin and his appointment was approved by the full Board of Directors on August 22nd held at the San Mateo Credit Union Corporate Headquarters."

I have been trying to identify who the twelve member search committee was and so far not one reporter I have spoken to knows.

I was able to find the twelve member Advisory Board:

1) Alicia C. Aguirre, Council Member City of Redwood City.
2) Lydia Barrera, Inmate Services Volunteer
3) Loren Buddress, Chief, Probation Department, San Mateo County
4) Hon. Mark Church Board of Supervisors, San Mateo County
5) John N. Digiacinto, Director, Private Defender Program
6) James P. Fox, District Attorney, San Mateo County
7) Donald Heiman, Former Mayor
8) Hon. Jerry Hill, Board of Supervisors, San Mateo County
9) Sheriff Don Horsely, Sheriff's Office San Mateo County
10) Hon. Tom Huening Controller, San Mateo County
11) Judge Thomas Jenkins, Retired Superior Court Judge, San Mateo County
12) Mike Nevin Former County Supervisor, San Mateo County

I'm not sure if this twelve member Advisory Board is the same people on the twelve member SEARCH COMMITTEE or not.

How many people were considered for the position?

What is the salary for this position?

Does San Mateo County fund this organization in any way?

Board of Directors, just a couple
1) UNDERSHERIFF Greg Munks, Sheriff's Office San Mateo County
2) Stuart J. Forrest, Deputy Chief, probation Department, San Mateo County.

Helping rebuild the lives of inmates, former inmates, their children and families

The names and positions of the people you list (that includes 10 men and 2 women; thus "good 'ole boy") show that 100% of the Service League of San Mateo County Advisory Board consists of local and county level apparatchiks. So, it would not be a surprise to find that they had a hand in appointing another apparatchik, who is also member of their group (i.e., Nevin is a member of the Service League of San Mateo County Advisory Board) to head up the very same agency they are advising.

How much does Michael get paid for this position? How many years of expertise does Michael have heading up a non-profit agency? Was there any notification to the public that this job was available? Did anyone else apply for the job? If anyone else applied for the job, what were their qualifications? What were the objective, not subjective, criteria that were used to appoint Michael?

These are all questions for the Service League of San Mateo County Board of Directors:

Talk about:

WOLF in SHEEP'S clothes.......

This organization is were the public brings clothes, and personal items, and potential private information, for their loved ones in our San Mateo County Jails.

We might want to put out a warning sign, stating this facility is operated by every law enforcement agency in San Mateo County.

You might as well drop off your items at the
District Attorney Office
James P. Fox's
400 County Center 3rd floor.

I personally have had one experience with the Serivce League where I had delivered one of my brand new good quailty belts. Mrs.Patty Trayer was kind enough to deliver it for me and it was to go to inmate by the name of Eddie Rapoza. Jack and Patty Trayer and myself were suprised that the belt never made it the block and a half to Eddie Rapoza. At the time I had joked that some Sheriff Deputy was probably wearing it. Now I see I wasn't far off.

[Roscoe_Beedle]

This Rapoza was under a suicide watch. And you bring him a belt.

[Michael Stogner]

Roscoe, Ray-Ray, RS, Silviano,etc

Eddie Rapoza was NEVER under suicide watch while at our jail.

Sheriff Detectives Gary Ramos, and Joe Farmer, fabricated a suicide attempt
REPORT on October 9, 2002 precisely at 8:30 PM. That was their excuse for returning to the Stanford ICU room.

Also Joe Farmer falsely testified to this fabricated suicide attempt.

The belt was for the court appearance, they could have returned it to me if he wasn't going to get it.

In the case of the Nevin appointment to become the new Executive Director of the Service League of San Mateo County, is the Service League of San Mateo County being used by the local and county level government "good old boy" network in San Mateo County to provide job, salary and benefit continuation services to a "peter principled" politician who may not be the best qualified person to run this agency? The voters certainly sent a clear message that Mike Nevin was not, in their opinion, the best qualified person to be a California State Senator, so how is it that he is now suddenly so qualified to be the Executive Director of a large non-profit agency? Is being appointed the Executive Director of the Service League of San Mateo County the consolation prize for Mr. Nevin? Mr. Nevin may be receiving more benefits and services from the "Service" League of San Mateo County than any of the people (i.e., inmates, former inmates, their children and families) whom this "service" agency allegedly helps. Should we rename this agency the "Peter Principled Politician's Service League of San Mateo County"?

This, of course, begs the question, who is the "Service" League of San Mateo County in the business of servicing? Is the Service League of San Mateo County in the business of servicing the tick like "good old boy network" that may be using San Mateo's County and local governments and agencies as its host or is the Service League of San Mateo County in the business of servicing the inmates, former inmates, their children and families that the Service League of San Mateo County allegedly serves?

THE "Thank You Elizabeth" RECEPTION

San Mateo County History Museum
HONORARY CHAIR: Sheriff Don Horsley
HOST CHAIRMAN: Undersheriff Greg Munks
4:30 pm Cocktails & Buffet
6:00 pm Program and Presentations
Honoring ELIZABETH GHELETA for 38 years as Executive Director of Service League

According to the Service League website Elizebeth took over as Director in 1978, So if that is correct 2006 minus 1978 equals 28 years not 38.
Never the less Elizebeth Gheleta has done an OUTSTANDING JOB.

I'm sure Mike Nevin is her perfect replacement.

[wilburt]

LOL, thanks for proving my point Stogner.

[Michael Stogner]

You're welcome.

[mrs.frankb]

I'm sure Mike Nevin will do a fine job in his new assignment. He does have a strong law-enforcement background and over twenty years of experience in local government, their agencies, etc. He knows our county well.

But in order to survive the shark filled waters, he must remember that "No good deed goes unpunished."

[Michael Stogner]

San Mateo County Service League’s Newly Appointed Executive Director Mike Nevin is the same Mike Nevin who was endorsed by most San Mateo County Newspapers, to be our next Senator just 3 months ago isn’t he?

Why has this appointment been out of the newspapers?

Why has he/his publicist not put out press releases on this Honorable Position.

Is Mike Nevin not proud of this new job?

You would think this would be an excellent Press op.

I’m confident 12 member search committee did a lot of hard work to narrow down the large selection of potential Executive Directors to come up with the best candidate for the job.
And according to the Service League the full Board of Directors approved him.

That is a lot of powerful people spending a lot of time to put him in that job.

Why is this not a FRONT PAGE STORY?

[Michael Stogner]

San Mateo County Supervisor Jerry Hill

http://www.co.sanmateo.ca.us/bos.dir/Hill.dir/Hill_1.htm

Supervisor Hill currently represents the Board of Supervisors on the following Boards and Commissions:
• Airport Community Roundtable - Alternate
• California State Association of Counties (CSAC) - Alternate
• City / County Liaison
• Commission on Disabilities
• Fair Board Liaison
• Fish Network of the Central California Coastal Counties (FishNet 4C)
• Historical Association
• Legislative Sub-Committee
• Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO)
• San Mateo County General Hospital Board
• San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans)
• Summer Jobs for Youth - Alternate
• Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) Advisory Committee
• Workforce Investment Council

The is no mention of Supervisor Jerry Hill being on the 12 member Advisory Board of: Service League of San Mateo County.
http://www.serviceleague.org/

Perhaps he is there as a private citizen.

I thought I recently read something about him going to tell perhaps the Hospital Committee, to keep the video camera record of the meetings so the public can see what is going on etc.

[Michael Stogner]

Supervisor Mark Church is listed as one of the 12 members of the Advisory Board for the Service League of San Mateo County.

http://www.serviceleague.org/index.htm

Mark Church does not list his involvement with this Organization.

http://www.co.sanmateo.ca.us/smc/department/home/0,,1864_3028_77630,00.html

This could be because he is on the Advisory Board as a private citizen.

This makes Mark and Jerry two Supervisors on the Advisory Board, both do not acknowledge it on the websites.

[Michael Stogner]

Still no newspaper coverage of Ex Supervisor Mike Nevin taking over as the
Executive Director of Service League of San Mateo County.

There are other Service League branches north and south of us:

http://www.norcalserviceleague.org/

They give even less information about themselves and who run them.

As in NONE....... No board of Directors,... No Advisors, etc.

[Michael Stogner]

Employment op. update:

No employment positions open at this time.

I wonder what this section said during the search for the new Excutive Director.

How long was that search period anyway?

[Les Bright]

Dear Michael Stogner:

Your powers of Investigation and reading Court Files are sorely needed! It seems there is another secret organization that meets in SECRET and involves some of the Highest Levels of government. It's like a Star Chamber! Who knows what kind of nefarious things are going on at its meetings?!?

Apparently, it's called the "Chamber of Commerce," which my own Research Skill tells me is some sort of medieval SECRET society or guild -- possibly dating back to Leonardo da Vinci, the great medieval French artist. I don't know French, but I'm sure if someone translated "Chamber of Commerce" into French, and then back into English, many mysterious mysteries would be solved, like how da Vinci was able to sire a line of French kings with Mary Magdelene when (according to Court Files) she had been dead for 2,000 years before he was even born. FACT.

And now it's officially part of San Mateo County government, which I can PROVE because it's called the "San Mateo County Chamber of Commerce." And yet this SECRET organization doesn't appear anywhere in the Court Files I have read! How can this be, unless it's being protected by someone very high up -- perhaps as high up as the Mayor of San Mateo County! A person so Secret most people don't know he exists. FACT.

God only knows what kind of people this "Chamber" is hiring without having an executive search period. Michael Stogner, we need you to blow the lid off this Conspiracy, with your powers of Investigation and all of the Internet message boards you can muster!

Welcome to San Mateo County.

[Michael Stogner]

Welcome back Not So.

Do you hapen to know what Mike Nevin's salary is as:

Executive Director of the Service League of San Mateo County?

[Michael Stogner]

SMDJ opted not to cover his new job at Service League of San Mateo County.

WHY NOT?

Wilbert,

Great questions, I have received some answers lately.

San Mateo County Counsel, Thomas Casey has reportedly said that the elected County Officials, and the County Employees and contractors who are serving on both boards for the Service League of San Mateo County.....(Not Affiliated) with the County are doing so as PRIVATE CITIZENS.

I hope this answers your question.

This could very well go down in history as the quintessential Michael Stogner post: paranoid, factually wrong in every respect, utterly lacking in any genuine curiosity, and entirely based on a misunderstanding of the law it offhandedly invokes.

It's every Michael Stogner post ever written, distilled into its purest constituent elements. It is a thing of ferocious beauty, like the hydrogen atom or straight Scotch whiskey.

I have no idea what George is saying here.

I asked Supervisor Rich Gordon if the Service League of San Mateo County was officially affilitated with San Mateo County in any way. His e-mail response was no.... and any of the high ranking San Mateo County Employees and elected officials who serve on the boards are there as PRIVATE CITIZENS according to Thomas Casey III our County Counsel.....

So George, What part of my statement is out of line here?

[Tommy]

I didn't understand him either. I think he was having fun with a Thesaurus...

[George Spelvin]

So George, What part of my statement is out of line here?

What I'm saying is that the words you've quoted from the Service League's website do not mean what you think they mean, and this makes the entire point of your post wrong. And yet rather than either ask a lawyer or conduct ten minutes of Internet research that would explain them to you, you assume (based on a pre-existing conspiracy theory from which you will never be dissuaded) that they mean something sinister. And that's why it's funny -- it illustrates what is wrong with your thought process. You start with a conclusion, and all facts you can see point to that conclusion. The social scientists call it "confirmation bias."

As for Tommy's comment, it makes me sad to think that he thinks words like "ferocious" and "quintessential" can be found only in a thesaurus.

They have dropped the "of San Mateo County" from the logo which looked like the official County seal.
