I worked under Slocum and Irizarry. Yes, Irizarry runs the office. The prior administration ran well. This one does not.

No Thanks, Terence Y. Irizarry has been running the County Offices to the detriment of the taxpayers and the budget for ten years and not following the State Manual. Under Irizarry, San Mateo County had the worst Audit of all the Bay Area Assessors. Irizarry had 5 serious areas of deficie…

Against the advice of the staff who has computer engineers on it, Irizarry decided that a database for sales companies was best for a gover ment agency that does basuc math and basic property characteristics. $50,000,000 dollars and wasteful overtime every year against staff advice has be…

Canepa is willing to investigate buying the database that over 30 Counties are happily using right now for $500k. Canapa has read the Srate Manual and pledged to follow it. That alone will cut the cost of running the office by 10% in year one.

Dirk - You have no idea what happened and is happening right now. What used to take one employee 5 minutes to get a value into the old database now takes 4 - 8 "man" hours and must pass through a team of people. The paper work for appraisals is two or three times what the State requires.

Hank, Boy do you have it backwards. Jim Irizarry is facing employee lawsuits as I write this. He received a no confidence VOTE of 2-1 in the offices he oversees based on many negative reasons, specifically for WASTING over $50M from making emotional decisions. Who knows best on how the th…

By your logic, Clinton, Trump, and Obama shoukd not have been president because they were not in the military and the President is in charge of the Military. We need a leader, not someone who scored the lowest of all Bay Area Assessors by far according to the latest State BOE audit. (Dec …

The offices are a cesspool of waste right now that you seem to favor.

No, I'm saying that's what good CEO's do. I've had two successful organizations doing that. Do you think the CEO of the Niners should be QB or hire the best QB?

Not only that but Canepa has pledged to surround himaelf with top expert deputies to run each department smoothly, save money, and improve public service. Irizarry does not consult his staff in policy decisions. That's why the departments are inefficient and chaotic.
