Shasta Elections Office provides deadlines for filing arguments for or against Measure B

[RandySF]

The local elections office has released dates for submitting arguments for or against Measure B, a controversial election initiative that’s slated to appear on voters’ ballots in June.

The measure, which the Shasta Elections Office refers to by the title Local Elections Transparency and Security Reform, calls for changes to Shasta’s charter law to implement local election rules that, if implemented, would contradict current state and federal laws.

More than 7,000 citizen signatures gathered in support of the measure have been verified by the elections office, allowing it to be placed on ballots. But a legal challenge, alleging that doing so would be an irreparable waste of taxpayer funds, is still wending its way through the courts, with the next hearing scheduled for March 25.

Meanwhile, a press release sent out Thursday by Community Education Specialist David Wylie included a deadline of Friday, March 13, at 5 p.m. for arguments for and against Measure B to be submitted to the elections office.

1. Is there a Trumpier county in the nation?

The Shasta County Board of Supervisors includes and is beholden to Qanon adjacent conspiracy theorists, voting machine extremists, hand count proponents, gun rights absolutists, self dealers and other weirdos. They claim transparency while delivering anything but. Folks who have pushed back against them have been harassed and attacked, both in meetings and the dark of night. For years.

The county has fundamentalist church that believes the Lord’s work is building and taking over businesses to fill the church’s coffers. They’ve got measles. They’ve got tons of crack, and crackheads everywhere. Not a lot of attention being paid to the latter issues.

There used to be a great site that reported on all this but the journalist who ran it was so threatened she had to throw in the towel on close-up reporting on the shenanigans. It’s now pretty much happy talk. Check out the archives of ANewsCafe.com for some entertaining reads.
