Last week Don Facciano accused his opponent for Treasurer / Tax Collector of many wrong doings, including using his influence to help a convicted sexual offender. Now he continues on the attack with a radio and television campaign.
This ad just started playing on local television:
Steven Hintz has thus far refused to comment or release anything related to the allegations. His opponent claims there is a letter where Hintz asked for leniency for a convicted sex offender but so far no letter has emerged as proof. But Hintz has responded by releasing new endorsements to show leaders are willing to put their name on the line as character witnesses. Here are some of those new endorsements:
The Ventura County Star has a news story that summarizes the race in detail. The news article includes this quote:
In 1992, Hintz was admonished by the state Commission on Judicial Performance for three instances of misconduct: ordering a search of spectators in his courtroom, criticizing jurors for their verdict, and improperly using his judicial office for a personal purpose in ordering a new trial.
I'm not interested in being critical of searching the crowd but I'd like to know more about the state commission admonishing him for ordering a new trial.
People say endorsements don't matter much but in a story like this where it is difficult for a voter to know the truth watching how many leaders are willing to be character witnesses is very powerful.
This piece o' crap sleazoid campaign brought to you by Marc O'Hara, who never met an underhanded tactic he didn't like,
Pretty desperate and backfiring bigtime.
It is amazing to me that Don Facciano, who I thought was a fairly bright guy, could not see how such a last desperate act would destroy both his campaign and his reputation.
Sad.
Looks like a new county TaxPayer group has started up - I think it is good as long as they aren't another political group with an agenda - . The old group certainly did. It is called TaxPayer Alliance of Ventura County and they have a facebook page.
I respect some of the founding members of this new group - others not so much. A few of them are Tony Strickland sycophants or employees. Others are on the opposite end of the political spectrum. There are a couple of posts on "green" jobs which was Strickland's focus when he ran for Senator so I'm a little suspicious. Will keep an eye on them.
Facciano uses the same campaign manager as Dantona....Look where that got him! Lies Lies and more dirty politics!
There goes Katie harping on the Stricklands again. Talk about a one trick pony...
Isn't Facciano like 95 years old?
Please tell me that Jim didn't use Marc O'Hara!
The primary lameness is that Facciano and his handlers are not using surrogates to smear the opponent and "break the news".
That is basic politicking.
Claiming to have evidence but not releasing it is extra lame and non-credible as well.
I think the point was that Don Facciano used the scumball, Marc O'Hara. Read for comprehension, Katie.
Dantona IS a political consultant. He didn't use Marc O'Hara. But there are some East County candidates who did and got burned by his stupid mistakes. He does crap cookie cutter mailers too.
Oh man, this is too much! I love Don Facciano! When this is over and he is scrubbing toilets at the harbor, I'll go put my arm around him and say... "That's what you get for hiring Marc O'hara." And he'll say... "Sorry ma'am, I can't really talk now,the next stall I've gotta clean is full of all the BS I used to try to take down Steven Hintz. And there's a lot of it!" Then, I'll laugh.
Hintz for TTC
Facciano for roadkill collector !
Uh, no.

By politically correct on October 18, 2010 10:53 AM Facciano uses the same campaign manager as Dantona....
O'Hara is lower than pond scum. I'm kind of surprised that Facciano used him to begin with. He usually does consulting work for Democrat candidates. You know, the ones who keep losing elections.
O'Hara is a hired gun and will work for anyone. He worked for Barbra Williamson in Simi. She's likely regretting that too. His dirtiest work was aimed at Dems in Marin.
O'Hara must have been working for Audra Strickland when she sent out all those awful mailers when she was running for Board of Supervisors. Or was it her Chief of Staff, Joel Angeles?
I think Audra used the scumbag Darrin Henry.
Darrin's not a political consultant. He basically runs a print shop/mail house operation, which does mailings for political candidates as well as a whole host of other advertisements. Comparing him to the Karl-Rovish scum box, Marc O'Hara, is ludicrous.
Been sitting on your brains too long there, 95?
Nice try Ron, Henry is a well known scumbag like you.
I won't even respond to 95's juvenile remark. I'll simply provide the link to DMH & Associates Web site, which tells you what his company really does.
And who owns DMH & Associates Ron? And how does Jim Lacey fit in? Part Owner? Darin Henry is a staff members for Audra Strickland and is the one who registered an FBN in Orange County.
I presume Darin Henry owns it, Katie. That was my whole point in bringing it up. It's a communications firm that specializes in political mailers. So what?
"95?" had made the false statement that Mr. Henry is a political consultant. He is no such thing.
And I don't see anything on DMH's Web site that says Jim Lacey is a part owner. But even if he is, so what? Isn't he allowed to make a living too, or does that go against your ethos?
In reading all your comments on these blogs, Katie, it's very apparent that you love to spin these far-fetched yarns about Ventura County Republicans and the conspiracy they're all entwined in to get Tony Strickland elected President, or some such garbage. It sounds like you may have swallowed a bitter pill in your recent past, or maybe you're the bitter pill.
Get help, Katie. We'll all benefit from it.
katie's just good at connecting the political dots for the people who want to know what's going on behind the scenes.
Yeah, right. Katie's so-called "connecting the dots" (more like conspiracy theories, al la Jesse Ventura) are always debunked, yet she clings to them like her guns and her bible.
Yes, I did use Marc OHare in my last campaign. After several conversatons with him I learned very quickly to keep a watchful eye on him. Of course he took credit for all the good things the campaign did, one of which was a flier postcard...designed by me....which showed a picture of a dump, with seagulls and a tractor pushing garbage around, with the caption.."Something stinks in Simi Valley", back then when WM was talking about the expansion of the landfill.
So, would I use Marc again? No. I like winning, but he's way to extreme for me.
Ron, it would be a "conspiracy" to say that Marc O'Hara and Audra Strickland Chief of Staff/Campaign Manager, Joel Angeles are related, it would be fact to say they both specialize in negative and false mailers and accusations. This is a small county and their names are becoming well known for not having integrity. And candidates/officials who use them are rightfully painted with the same brush.
To Follow the Money - thank you. I do connect the dots, which is delibrately hidden from most Republicans and voters at large. That is why I am always attacked by those that work for our current lawmakers or who are idiot parrots. Since I view primary material and can prove what I say, I am never debunked. But "Ron" and Mike with his various fake screen names keep trying to reinvent history, etc.
Nice try at changing the subject there, Katie. But, in my previous post, I completely debunked your rant about DMH & Associates, so now you're on to Joel Angeles.
By the way, in many previous posts on this very blog, Katie had Joel tried, convicted, and executed in the trumped up charges that were brought against him by partisan operatives within the County's Democratic Party. Of course, he was vindicated as the jury found the charges to be completely without merit.
So, there you go - evidence of Katie's malevolent behavior. She's unable to smear Angeles in one way, so now she's trying in another.
Like I said before, get help, Katie.
Ron - you haven't debunked anything. And Audra should have fired Joel Angeles. But he probably knows too much. And he probably goes by the name of "Ron".
Katie (aka "Connect the Dots"), why, pray tell, should Audra have fired Joel Angeles? Because he was falsely accused of something? That makes about as much sense as all of your previous posts.
I believe my work is done here. I've revealed you many times over as the fraud you are.
My advice to you is stay off the blogs and concentrate on getting your fellow Democrats elected. They could use all the help they can get.
Speaking for fine Democrats - I'm on my way for a commute rally for Bob Rust for Pleasant Valley School Board Trustee - I think Bob will be a great addition to the board!
Speaking for fine Republicans, I encourage everyone to vote for David Schlangen for Camarillo City Council, Steve Hintz for Treasurer/Tax Collector, Al Adam for Thousand Oaks City Council and Steve Sojka for Simi Mayor.
Other candidates I support are Miss Ulrich for Ventura County Board of Education in District 1 and Ms. Claudia De La Pena for Thousand Oaks City Council. And for OUHSD, Miss Hansen, Alamillo and Edmonds.
I would also like to suggest that people employ the "bullet" tactic when voting for multiple openings/candidates. Only vote for those you really want - by limiting the number of people you vote for it will make your vote stronger.
Nobody cares who Katie is supporting. Well, actually, maybe "Nobody" does care. He's about the only one though.
And Tom Mullens for Ventura County Board of Education!
Katie, who are you supporting in the Stoker-Williams race? How about the Gallegly-Allison match-up? What about the Gorell-Masry election?
My guess is you're going with the Dems in each of these races.
You can be dang sure that Meg Whitman won't be getting my vote! Or Damon Dunn! Or Tony Strickland for Controller. The first two didn't bother to vote - and now they think they can run for office? Tony isn't qualified, he didn't even bother submitting a ballot statement (probably because his poll numbers were so low) and he wasted tax dollars suing about it???? What a joke!
So, you're not going to answer my previous questions, huh, Katie? Didn't think so.
Yeah, Ron, it's funny how Katie will continue to bash the Republican candidate, but never reveal that she's voting for their Democratic opponents.
So, to answer your questions for Katie, she will be voting for Das Williams, Tim Allison, and Ferial Masry. Based on her most recent post, she will also be voting for Jerry Brown, Debra Bowen, and John Chiang.
Some Republican, eh?
One question for all, what about the children that got hurt and were not protected in this process? What are you telling them? How can Richard "Rusty" Russell have 9 counts - 8 misdemeanors and 1 felony and that one was dismissed along with 4 misdemeanor charges. Please help me, there are inmates serving time for less and this guy skates? Hintz needs to man up and tell the story if he did back this guy up. Perhaps the connections are businees related. I am sure they are? Isn't Hintz the team manager for the rollin gauchos and who was the company in Ventura writing business for Russell while he was slandering people and companies for business in Ventura? Quadra Tek, see any connection (I don't know)? To all these people, companies and suppliers who support this or just turn a blind eye and tell how much they like him just remember this could have been your children. Steve Hintz you are a poor excuse for a man let alone a judge and to all the Rusty Russell supporters and YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! all the ones that did business and shared personal values and time with him Shame on you for standing up for a convicted child molester that's right convicted! How do you sleep at night? Oh and by the way I switched my vote based on the facts as I know them. As a Mother, a business owner and human being I am disgusted at the reactions from people in this community that no one has enough fortitude to say anything about this particulary in the industry I work I don't get it guys?
Yikes! What a nut job!
Wow! Good comeback "Ron"! Well Brian Dennert has told you for years your bread and butter unfounded references to people's sanity is getting old but it's better than nothing right?
Steven Hintz is the most corrupt judge in the history of Ventura County. I challenge Steven Hintz or his lackluster public relations firm to prove me wrong.
Steven Hintz stated he only handled the probate and conservator cases that "lasted a long time". He says he never knew anything of the years of fraud that occured in Matheney's Ventura County Treasurers Office. Now he says Matheney did a good job as Ventura County Treasurer. Steven Hintz not only does not have remorse for playing a role in victimizing Ventura County's most vulnerable citizens... Steven Hintz wants to pick up where he left off only this time as Ventura County Treasurer. Steven Hintz is a common thief who has a long criminal record of abusing any power he has been given against the disabled, senior citizens, and children. Steven Hintz is a man who lacks all integrity and in no way should be trusted with six billion dollars of the tax-payers money.
If you want to sue me Steven Hintz I'll show up with bells on. You talk a good game around Eric Ingemunson but when it's time to fight you're a coward. You are only brave when you attack children, the disabled, and senior citizens. You probably Treasurer and the tax-payers will have to pay your legal costs. Guess again scumbag.
On a lighter note;
I heard Eric Ingenmunson and Daniel Goldberg came up with something to compete with Brian Dennert's hit series "Cutest Dog" and "Where's This Political Sign"? It's called "How Far Is My Head Up My Butt"? It sounds easy but every time you make a guess it get's a little further up. You guys can sue me too if you want. Bring Ron Bamieh with you too. I enjoyed beating him in court last time it would be my pleasure doing it again. Say hi to Feldman for me Ron... Hahahahahaha!
Wow, Nobody. Have you been taking your meds regularly? It seems you're climbing farther and farther out on that limb. Soon enough it will break and you'll end up in a ball on the ground, beaten and bloodied, just like when I manhandle you on these blogs! Bwahahhahahahahahahhahaha!!!!!!!
