Lassen County CAO Stone and new County Supervisor Wosick Better take a REAL CLOSE LOOK AT Joe BERTOTTI FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS
The Lassen County Economic Development Department is a "Dysfunctional Branch of County Government"....what an understatement.
[not too many people didn't know about the corruption in that Department? ????????]
County Supervisor Jim Chapman wasn't the only Supervisor that abused this Department and knew about Director Bertotti's activities since day ONE. Was that faux "shock" or what?
The New Lassen County CAO Tom Stone
should demand a Grand Jury investigation
(anyone now wonder why Settlemire and Kettleson both left?)


Lassen County CAO Tom Stone believes the spending irregularities were intentional [Note Settlemire and Kettleson's recent departures from Lassen County........]
