It seems like we just reelected Paul. Was it three years ago already?
My good friend John is already posting news of a potential new candidate.
Rose is still talking about “how bad it is” – the sky perpetually falling. She’s not quite predicting Paul’s demise at this point, but considering “how bad it is,” his only chance is if nobody wants the position because – it’s all so bad. She’s been writing his political epitaph for years now, and maybe it’ll apply this time. Or the next time. Or the next.
Allison Jackson submitted her op ed piece.
Paul Gallegos has his up.
Jeff Schwarz then wrote a piece encouraging Hagen voters to support Paul G.
Paul Hagen then chimed in in response to Schwarz’ letter. He does not endorse Allison Jackson, but he slams Paul G. He definitely held back last spring!
You can comment in response to the articles online.
Also on the Eye site – a slew of letters, many of them about the D.A. race. It does seem that next to the NCJ the Eye does receive the best letters, or is willing to publish them. It reminds me of the AVA in the golden years.

The Eureka Police Officers Association cites the following cases:
A case in which a suspect, already on probation and with a prior DUI conviction, hits and kills a pedestrian crossing the roadway in a crosswalk in downtown Eureka. The suspect faced a potential prison term of 2 – 6 years; however, a plea agreement was reached resulting in a 1 – year jail term and additional count of felony probation.
A case in which a suspect, on parole, brandished a firearm at a citizen. Officers subsequently located the suspect parolee who was still in possession of the firearm and ammunition. The suspect received a plea agreement of 16 months in prison versus the 6 – 9 years he could have received upon a jury conviction.
The Eureka Police Officers Association firmly believes that District Attorney Candidate Allison Jackson will bring much needed professional change to the District Attorney’s Office if elected.

Rose is suggesting it may be an “official” blog of some sort, but it’s been opened by Michael Evanson, who is a Gallegos supporter and not formally associated with the office. Thanks to Rose, however, for bringing it to my attention.

Humboldt Builders Exchange Endorses Allison Jackson for DA
The Board of Directors of the Humboldt Builders Exchange has unanimously endorsed Allison Jackson for Humboldt County District Attorney.

The Humboldt Builders Exchange represents more than 300 local businesses and more than 4,000 employees.

“We want our community back,” Bittner said. “We feel things are out of control.”
