Mark Rush this week told the Sentinel he is running for city council in Rancho Cucamonga’s District 1 “to give the voters a choice for change between the existing city council member and myself.”
So far, the two candidates in the First District are Sam Spagnolo, who has been on the city council since 2004, and another challenger, Jon Hamilton. “I will represent the residence in District 1 in Rancho Cucamonga with a plan going forward of reducing overdevelopment, which will reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality in our city,” Rush said.
Rush said he believes his professional experience and abiding and active interest in issues impacting the city qualifies him to hold the council position he is seeking.
“As a retired telecommunications engineer and planner, I have experience in managing, planning and working on large projects in coordination with municipalities.” Rush said. “As a long time resident of Rancho Cucamonga, I am familiar with local issues and have attended numerous city council meetings.”
He is favorably distinguished from Spagnolo, Rush asserted, by the consideration that he is not tied into the city establishment nor the firefighters union. Spagnolo was a fireman with the city’s fire department and its predecessor, the Foothill Fire District for 35 years.
“The current city councilman for District 1 has been there a long time, and as far as I’m concerned, the city is progressing in the wrong direction, and he is part of that decision-making team,” Rush said. “I am a longtime resident with a diverse background, and with no ties to special interest groups, offering a different prospective on how this city should progress and plan for the future.”
A major issue facing the city, Rush said, is too-aggressive development.
“This city is developing at such a rapid rate, that it seems every available acre is being developed into high density dwellings and warehouses, which are contributing to the increased traffic, reduced air quality, and the increased use and price of water as the demand goes up,” Rush said. “You can only develop as far as the available resources and infrastructure can accommodate.”
Moreover, Rush said, the city’s growth has not been balanced.
“The lack job of opportunities for our residents and graduating students is also a problem,” he said. “They need to commute out of the city to find jobs that pay a wage allowing them to live here. These factors diminish the quality of life here.”
Rush offered a relatively simple formula for redressing the city’s problems. He said city decision-makers could make a major stride toward rational land use policy “by not approving every proposed development that requests a permit, and requiring those that do get approved provide a more environmentally conscious design to help curb the problems I mentioned. By eliminating high density developments and warehouses, you reduce auto and truck traffic. This also improves air quality and water consumption. By providing incentives to high tech, medical and professional businesses to build here, we can attract higher paying jobs for the residents and graduates from Chaffey College. They can then find jobs here and afford to live here.”
There would be no costs affiliated with the solutions he is advocating, Rush said.
“The city will not have to pay anymore for these changes then the current way we do business,” he said. “The benefits would be an improved quality of life for the residents of Rancho Cucamonga.”
Rush said he possesses experience that would provide him with the foundation upon which to function as an effective council member.
“I’m a former vice president of the Associated Artists of the Inland Empire, and the Rancho Cucamonga Democratic Club,” he said. “I’m also an active member of the Sierra Club.”
Born and raised in Riverside where he attended Ramona High School, Rush served in the Army and first moved to Rancho Cucamonga in 1980, but moved to Highland in 1989 before returning in 2000, making him a 29-year Rancho Cucamonga resident.
He attended and graduated from Chaffey College, receiving an Associate of Arts degree in general studies and an Associate of Science degree in physical sciences. He subsequently attended and graduated from the University of Redlands with a Bachelor of Science degree in business and management.
He is currently retired, with two daughters and four grandchildren.

Victorville Planning Commission Member Paul Marsh is seeking a position on the Victorville City Council in November. This week he told the Sentinel, “I believe all politics are local and the Victorville City Council needs people who can evaluate issues logically and offer common sense solutions.” Marsh said he is “able to recognize issues, research the facts, engage in civil discussion, then make a decision. I am hoping to bring a different approach to the council. I am running because I understand this election is a pivotal point, a crossroads for our city and I can bring rationality and consistency to the council.”
In addition to his current position on the planning commission, Marsh is a self-employed loan officer affiliated with Home Funding Corp. who originates home, commercial and hard money loans. He has previously served as vice president of the Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce. Marsh said he was at one with that organization’s dedication “to improving the economic environment for the minority business community by fostering business development and prosperity. I am a member of the High Desert Community Coalition which focuses on preventing and reducing substance abuse within communities of the High Desert. I am also a member of the Southern California High Desert Intervention Action Coalition, which addresses ongoing homeless issues.”
Marsh said his “diverse community engagement, active participation in and dedication to city improvement, in addition to my business background, distinguishes me from other candidates.”
Enumerating the major issues facing Victorville, Marsh highlighted “the lack of essential services, such as police, code enforcement, animal control, fire service; rapidly increasing crime; the deterioration of parts of our city; and homelessness. In order to rectify these issues, the city would basically need to have additional personnel, and seek neighborhood and commercial involvement and participation.”
Marsh noted that, “A measure has been approved by the city council for placement on the November ballot which, if approved by the voters in Victorville, would increase city revenues which would be directed to these issues.”
Marsh further advocated “holding absentee and commercial property owners accountable for the condition of their parking lots and properties.” He said those problem could be partially offset by further development. “The additional housing being built will also enhance the amount of property tax allocated to Victorville,” he said.
Marsh said that in evaluating his candidacy, he hopes the city’s voters will consider, “my current position on the planning commission, my advocacy for special needs children, my service as a board member on numerous civic organizations. I also have attended city council meeting regularly for four years and participate by addressing the council on agenda items and community comments.”
Marsh noted that he knows the lay of the land in Victorville as well as it can be known. “I have lived in Victorville for 58 years,” he said. “I arrived in 1962 when my father was stationed at George Air Force Base. My mother was a teacher at Park View Elementary School. The only time I was away was when I served in the US Army, but I maintained my Victorville address.”
Marsh is a 1975 graduate of Victor Valley Sr High School. “I am a proud Jackrabbit,” he said. Furthermore, he noted, “I attended Bossier City Community College and Victor Valley College, studying business. In addition, I am required to take supplemental courses, which includes conferences, seminars and workshops in finance, mortgage banking and financial regulations to maintain my certification.”
Marsh has been married to Lenita Q. Marsh for 40 years. “We are the proud parents of three children, two daughters and one son who was born with cerebral palsy. We have four grandchildren, two of whom live with us and call us Mom & Dad.”
Marsh was hopeful his addition to the city council will elevate and enlighten that body’s deliberations and decision making.
“Since I have been attending Victorville City Council meetings, they have become pandemonium, which impedes the business of the city,” he said. “I will bring civility and decorum to the dais, as well as a commitment to return to Victorville’s tradition of vision and planning.”

26,796 Confirmed Cases
&
372 Deaths

as of 4:44 p.m. Friday July 24

The disease continues to surge. In the last week there have been 3,558 newly confirmed cases and 57 deaths attributed to the disease. The malady is imposing a severe strain on the county’s available medical resources. As of today, there are 618 individuals hospitalized as a consequence of COVID-19 and its symptoms, 196 of whom are in intensive care units.

The genista broom moth, which during its life cycle exists as the sophora worm, is extant in San Bernardino County. Known by its scientific name, uresiphita reversalis, the genista broom is a moth in the family crambidae found in North America, where it has been recorded from Nova Scotia to Florida, west to California, north to Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa. It is also found in Mexico and Cuba, Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Jamaica.
The uresiphita reversalis has a wingspan from one inch to 1.27 inches. The forewings are light to medium brown with dark antemedial and postmedial lines and two dark discal spots. The hindwings are yellow or orange with brownish-gray shading at the apex. Adults are on wing year round in multiple generations per year in the southern part of the range.
The larvae feed on acacia, lonicera, baptisia (including baptista leucantha), genista (including genista monspessulana) and lupinusspecies (including lupinus arboreus and lupinus diffusus), sophora secundiflora, lagerstroemia indica, cytius scoparius and cytius striatus. The larvae have a brownish-green body and a black head with white dots. The species usually overwinters in the pupal stage, but may also overwinter as an adult.
The first known description of this moth was by Achille Guenée in 1854.
To some people with gardens, in particular those growing baptisia, which is also refereed to as false indigo, and sophora secundiflora, called the Texas mountain laurel, the genista broom moth is considered a pest. More accurately, it is actually the caterpillars that cause the damage. Like most moths, all the adults can do is feed on nectar since they do not have any chewing mouth parts as an adult.
This insect pest is native to the southwest United States but usually doesn’t make it up into colder climates. In recent years, there were reports of this insect causing feeding damage to baptisias along the East Coast. These moths may also feed on other members of the pea (fabaceae) family, including flowers like lupine, shrubs like caragana, genista and honeysuckle, and potentially trees like the Kentucky coffee tree and honey locust.
The adult moth lays eggs on the plants. Then the young larvae together in a web feed on the leaves inside the web until they grow a bit larger. They eventually move out and start feeding on other parts of the plant or move on to other plants. The larvae can grow to about one inch long, are a dark tan-orange with white hairs and black spots. Normally, they will have two generations per year, but in areas with a short growing season, they may only have one generation per year.
As pests, they are not likely kill a plant, just cause feeding damage to the leaves, which may cause them to turn black. However, if they are present prolifically, the caterpillars could damage young, newly established plants if they become defoliated a few years in a row.
Treatment of genista broom moth damage can be as easy as just trimming off the affected foliage, hopefully removing the caterpillars with the leaves. You can pick off others and squish them to provide pretty good control. If you catch the infestation early, you can use bacillus thuringiensis against the invaders. This is a bacteria that you spray on the plants. Once it is ingested by the caterpillars, it will kill them. It is effective for any type of caterpillar pest but normally doesn’t work well for more mature larvae.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Kenith Crowell be appointed as personal representative to admin-ister the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representa-tive will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the pro-posed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held on August 4, 2020 at 1:30 PM in Dept. No. S36 located at 247 W. Third St., San Bernardino, CA 92415.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contin-gent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF:
JERRY RAY GARCIA
NO. PROPS 2000389
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of JERRY RAY GARCIA
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by RENEE RAQUEL GARCIA FULKERSON in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that RENEE RAQUEL GARCIA FULKERSON be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in Dept. No. S37 at 1:30 p.m. on AUGUST 19, 2020 at the San Bernardino Justice Center, Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, 247 West Third Street, San Bernardino, CA 92415, San Bernardino District.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under Section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Sentinel 07-17-20

By Mark Gutglueck
The repeated, exaggerated and progressively more monstrous portrayals of Mayor John Valdivia as a victimizer are a gross perversion of the truth, one that is depriving the City of San Bernardino of what is perhaps its last hope of achieving recovery rather than slipping into bankruptcy for the second time in a decade and from which the once-grand county seat will likely see itself disincorporated, the mayor’s lawyer this week told the Sentinel.
Valdivia, who was first elected to the city council representing the Third Ward in 2011, in 2018 successfully challenged incumbent Mayor Carey Davis. Valdivia, upon acceding to the position of mayor in December 2018, appeared to have transitioned into the central political personage in the city, and indeed for the next year headed the ruling coalition on the council which consisted, at least initially, of First Ward Councilman Ted Sanchez, Second Ward Councilwoman Sandra Ibarra, Fifth Ward Councilman Henry Nickel, Sixth Ward Councilwoman Bessine Richard and, after he was elected to replace Valdivia in the Third Ward council position in a specially-held election in May 2019, Juan Figueroa. The only consistent opposition Valdivia faced during his first year as mayor was that offered by Fourth Ward Councilman Fred Shorett and Seventh Ward Councilman Jim Mulvihill, who did not possess sufficient political muscle with their two votes to resist the agenda that Valdivia was pursuing.
Early this year, however, Valdivia’s platform of political primacy was yanked out from under him when two of the six staff members at City Hall assigned exclusively to the mayor’s office, senior customer service representative Mirna Cisneros, 30, and Karen Cervantes, 24, who was Valdivia’s mayoral assistant, simultaneously and abruptly resigned on January 29. Their dual departures from the city were followed with their public statements, offered at a press conference held in front of City Hall, as to why they felt leaving the city’s employ was necessary. Cisneros and Cervantes had retained attorney Tristan Pelayes, a former San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy and one-time mayor of Adelanto who is now a principal in the law firm of Pelayes & Yu, to represent them prior to their resignations. While they were working for the city in roles that were directly answerable to Valdivia, they said, the mayor had subjected them to unwanted sexual advances, innuendo and crude remarks, sought to press them into compromising circumstances, insisted that they perform tasks outside their job assignments, and either sought to involve them in or acknowledged to them his skirting of the law pertaining to the use of public funds as well as his violation of the reporting requirements imposed on public officials relating to the reception of donations, money or services. Cisneros said that Valdivia had pressured her to work on political campaigns while she was serving in her capacity as a city employee, and that the mayor suggested that she should use the vacation time she had accrued to work on the now-concluded campaigns of two of the candidates in this year’s city council races Valdivia had endorsed, Juan Figueroa and Bessine Richard. According to Cisneros, Valdivia accepted gratuities from individuals with business before the city that verged on or crossed the line into bribetaking.
On February 27 at another press conference called before San Bernardino City Hall, Pelayes announced that four others, including a city commissioner and three other employees of the mayor’s office had been mistreated by Valdivia. Three of those, Jackie Aboud, a 23-year-old part-time field representative for Valdivia, Don Smith, a 25-year-old part-time legislative aid and field representative, and Alissa Payne, 36, who in October 2019 was nominated by Valdivia and then appointed to both the Arts and Historical Preservation Commission and the San Bernardino Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission, were featured at the press conference. The fourth individual who was not identified or in attendance at the February 27 press conference, was Valdivia’s chief of staff, Matt Brown.
Aboud, who had worked as a field representative for Valdivia from April 2019 until she was fired on January 6, said she had been provided with no training and was subjected to a circumstance which suggested that she was not hired for legitimate work in serving as a liaison between Valdivia and his constituents but rather as Valdivia’s courtesan. “He told me I needed to spend time with him after hours and invest in a friendship with him if I wanted to reach my career goals,” Aboud said. “He also told me that my job was not to serve the community but to serve him and meet his personal needs.”
According to Aboud, Valdivia was self-centered and abrasive, and his ego-driven ambition prevented him from being of service to his constituents. She said the mayor slighted the city’s residents in the Fourth and Seventh Ward because they were represented by his two rivals on the council, Shorett and Mulvihill. Valdivia was vindictive and mean, Aboud said, taking recourse in threatening her with termination, belittling her in front of others and constant bullying.
Smith, in his capacity as Valdivia’s legislative aid and field representative, claimed that Valdivia ordered him to work extra hours while not paying him overtime, and dangling before him promises of promotion that never manifested. He claimed Valdivia had employed him to engage in running personal errands that had nothing to do with serving the residents of San Bernardino.
Smith said, “He [Valdivia] routinely threatened my job as a means to bully me” and “told me my job was on the line if I didn’t do what he wanted. Even though I was not on call, he would call me and tell me to immediately report to work on days/times I wasn’t scheduled. Anytime I questioned him, he again would tell me that I needed to do what I was told because he gave me the opportunity.”
Smith signed an affidavit in which he stated that he had accompanied Valdivia to a 1 a.m. meeting at a restaurant with Danny Alcarez during which Alcarez delivered to Valdivia an envelope stuffed with cash, made in exchange for Valdivia’s assistance in securing for Alcarez and other tow truck business operators placement on the city’s tow service franchise.
Payne stated, “I was subjected to inappropriate conduct and manipulation by the mayor. He went as far as offering to provide me an apartment, would tell me how to vote and what to say or do at the commission meetings, asked me to meet him alone in the evening after hours, and promised – guaranteed – me a seat on the city dais as the Second Ward council member.”
Payne said Valdivia made inappropriate sexist comments, subjected her to unwanted physical touching, and had “invited me to attend a dinner event as his personal guest where he was persistently trying to get me intoxicated, which I declined, and put his arm around me several times, touching my lower back and making me extremely uncomfortable. The mayor was preying on me.”
Payne claimed that “council members were not only aware but enabled his behavior.”
A week after the February 27 press conference Matt Brown was revealed as Pelayes’ sixth client lodging accusations against the mayor. Brown hired on as Valdivia’s chief of staff in August 2019. Brown was less vocal than the other five, but according to Pelayes, Brown had retained his firm after he grew concerned that Valdivia would retaliate against him for having sought to shield Cisneros, Cervantes and Aboud from Valdivia by encouraging them to file grievances over their treatment by Valdivia with the city’s human resources division.
The accusations first leveled by Cisneros and Cervantes and reinforced by Aboud, Smith, Payne and Brown precipitated Valdivia’s decline in authority. Whereas throughout much of 2019 Valdivia was able to consistently rally at least four votes of support for the items that came before the council which he championed, by this spring it became clear that Sanchez, Ibarra and Nickel had defected from the Valdivia camp, and on major issues of import to the mayor, they would join with Shorett and Mulvihill in frustrating Valdivia’s plan of action or intended direction.
Shortly after the accusations against Valdivia by Cisneros and Cervantes surfaced, the city through the firm of Best Best & Krieger, which employs the two lawyers who serve in the capacity of city attorney and deputy city attorney, Thomas Rice and Sonia Carvalho respectively, sought to initiate an investigation of the accusations. There were suggestions, however, that Best Best & Krieger, the employees of which represent Valdivia as do they represent the entirety of the council, were ill-suited to carry out the investigation, so Carvalho arranged to have the law firm of Liebert Cassidy Whitmore oversee the investigation. For reasons that were not clear, however, Liebert Cassidy and Whitmore begged off from having to carry out the investigation directly, as J. Scott Tiedemann, a managing partner with the firm, directed the city to hire Los Angeles-based attorney Carla Barboza to do that work. Barboza, who was to receive $350 per hour, was initially contracted to investigate the Cisneros and Cervantes claims, at a not-to-exceed cost of $50,000. That investigation bogged down, however, when Pelayes asked and then insisted that one of his investigators or his firm’s lawyers be granted access to the interviews with both claimants and witnesses. When the city refused, Pelayes instructed his clients not to submit to the questioning by Barboza. This had the effect of shortcircuiting the investigation, as those with the information most pertinent to the issues being investigated were not interviewed.
In the meantime, in April, the city council considered Valdivia’s request that the city, in addition to conducting what it claimed was an “independent” investigation of Valdivia’s conduct, pay for his legal defense in the face of the claims made against him and whatever findings against him the city’s investigation might turn up. Deputy City Attorney Sonia Carvalho suggested that the council could authorize Valdivia to select an attorney at his own discretion for whose work representing the mayor the city might then defray an initial maximum expenditure of $50,000. In the alternative, Carvalho said, she could select an attorney for Valdivia who would likewise be provided with an initial $50,000 retainer. Carvalho then provided the city council with a list of four attorneys she thought might be suitable for structuring Valdivia’s defense, one being Patrick “Kit” Bobko, who had agreed to work on the mayor’s behalf at a rate of $250 to $330 per hour; Michael Zweiback, who committed to working on the case in conjunction with other members of his firm at a “blended” rate of $400 per hour; Gerald Sauer, who was willing to work the case at a cost of $495 per hour; and Sonya Goodwin, who stood ready to go to bat for Valdivia for $450 per hour. Valdivia, who had been provided with an early preview of the attorneys Carvalho had suggested, communicated with Zweiback directly, informing him that he was intent on having Zweiback’s firm represent him, as was indicated in an engagement letter sent to him at his city office from the firm of Zweiback, Fiset & Coleman dated March 11, 2020.
When the city council on April 15 considered the request that the city pay for Valdivia’s legal representation, councilmembers Figueroa and Richard were in favor of having the city defray Valdivia’s defense costs and Councilman Shorett indicated that he would support having Valdivia represented by the city attorney’s office without any outside counsel being paid for. Councilwoman Ibarra wanted the council to outright refuse to have the city pay for Valdivia’s defense. Ultimately however, a motion to table, that is suspend, a decision on having the city pay for Valdivia’s legal defense was made by Councilman Nickel, which was passed with the support of councilmen Sanchez, Shorett, Nickel and Mulvihill.
In May, after some three months of investigation, Barboza had yet to provide any written report to the city that had been passed along to the council, but was requesting another $30,000 to complete the investigation. Having nothing by which to gauge the process of the investigation, the city council declined to authorize the payment of the requested $30,000. By June, however, at which point both Aboud and Smith had officially filed claims against the city and were thus signaling their intent to file lawsuits, the city council signed off on paying Barboza another $18,000 to move forward with her investigation.
Reports and insinuations from all quarters pertaining to Valdivia have in recent weeks and months intensified to include accusations that he has been taking bribes and payoffs relating to a number of issues pertaining to business licensing, project approvals and franchise contracts before the city. Moreover, there are suggestions that Valdivia is raging out of control with regard to his personal comportment, exacerbated by his descent into alcoholism and illicit drug use.
Since the city council’s non-action in April which denied Valdivia legal indemnification, a legal fund on Valdivia’s behalf has been set up, into which reportedly some $45,000 had been collected by the end of June, said to have come from sources that have likewise contributed to his political campaigns in the past.
Valdivia used that money to retain not Zweiback and Zweiback’s firm as had been his previous intent, but rather Rod Pacheco.
The choice of Pacheco as his legal representative is a rather apt one in Valdivia’s case on several score.
Like Valdivia, Pacheco is a Republican, which is a relative rarity among Hispanic politicians in California. A half of a generation before Valdivia, Pacheco made his entry into politics in a rather spectacular fashion. After having acceded to a position of high rank within the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office under then-Riverside County District Attorney Grover Trask, Pacheco in 1996 made a successful run for the California Assembly, becoming the first Latino Republican elected to the Assembly in more than a century. He was elected leader of the Republican caucus, marking the first time in the state’s history that a Hispanic legislator had risen to that position. Because the Republicans surrendered their majority hold on the Assembly in the 1996 election, Pacheco narrowly missed out on becoming the first Hispanic California Assembly speaker. After being termed out of the legislature, he returned to the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, where in 2006, he was elected district attorney, serving a single four-year term. He is now in private practice.
More than sharing with Valdivia being a Latino Republican politician who cuts across the grain by functioning in an environment wherein most Hispanic politicians are mainstreamed into the Democratic Party, Pacheco spent his formative years in San Bernardino, and is intimately familiar with its institutions, its lay of the land, its residents, its body politic and its movers and shakers. This, perhaps, leaves him uniquely qualified to serve as Valdivia’s advocate.
Pacheco told the Sentinel, “I have read the newspaper accounts and I have gone over the complaints very closely and I would say the majority of this, I would say 95 percent of the allegations, certainly a lot of them, are what the city’s own investigator, Ms. Barboza, said were ‘bad boss allegations,’ and when she said that she laughed. I would concur with that conclusion. What the people who are complaining are saying is that they were told to do their jobs and made to work hard.”
According to Pacheco, “The one employee who at the beginning started this [Cisneros] and inspired the rest of the allegations said it came down to ‘He [Valdivia] expected me to work hard.’ That’s the overwhelming majority of the accusations. Of course he expected the people who worked for him and for the city to work hard.”
Pacheco said the sexual harassment accusations do not hold up.
“I don’t know why the rest of the accusations are being made, but of course, those are the statements that really stirred things up,” Pacheco said. “He [Mayor Valdivia] commented on her [Cisneros’s] shoes and asked if they were Jimmy Choo shoes, which are very expensive and are famous for being fashionable with women. I didn’t know that myself, but had to ask my wife. Apparently, Mayor Valdivia is ahead of the rest of us men there. So he asked her about her shoes and, oh my gosh, he was sexually harassing her. Well, that is not sexual harassment, neither factually nor legally. When I was with the district attorney’s office, I handled sexual assault cases. I was a founding member of the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office Sexual Assault Team. I know that area of the law. I know what sexual assault looks like. I know what sexual harassment looks like, and these allegations do not encompass anything close to that.”
Mayor Valdivia is being pilloried for intrepidly going where most politicians would shy away from, taking on a political assignment that is fraught with risk, Pacheco said. Pacheco pointed out that San Bernardino is in what many people consider to be a municipal death spiral. In 2012, the city filed for Chapter Nine bankruptcy protection, emerging from that status in 2017. Things remain touch and go in the 218,000 population city, as it is being dogged by deficit spending that is rapidly eating up the reserves it managed to salt away during the 2012-to-2017 period while it was under the umbrella of bankruptcy protection.
“I grew up in San Bernardino,” Pacheco said. “I was raised there. I moved there when I was six. My father was in the Air Force and he was stationed at Norton Air Force Base. I went to college in San Diego, but I remained very close to San Bernardino. It was a wonderful city. It was called ‘A City On The Move.’ There was a lot going on in San Bernardino. It was the first city to have two malls. It was, then, a much better city than the one I live in now, Riverside. Now, they’ve flipped. That great city of my childhood has gone into the tank. It is very different now. Now you have a mayor, John Valdivia, who like former Mayor Valles is trying to save it.”
Judith Valles was San Bernardino Mayor from 1998 until 2006.
“Mayor Valles made efforts and had what I would call modest gains,” said Pacheco. “But the city has fallen into an abyss, and it is not a regular effort that is going to fix things. You are not going to turn things around working nine to five. It is going to require a Herculean effort. This is not the time for half measures any more. Public safety has become a real problem. For years, San Bernardino was the murder capital of California. San Bernardino has a lot of problems and this mayor is ready to make a lot of extra effort. As mayor, John Valdivia has the desire to put forth that effort. He is a Type A person who wants to run the city right and he is demanding that people who work for him or work in the city do what they are being asked to do. That is the only way that things are going to be turned around. The hardest hit cities are the poorest cities. Rich people can sustain it or walk away and start over. The poor have the greatest difficulty, and San Bernardino is filled with the poor. It is really unfortunate that the one person in the city working hardest to make a change is now being subjected to this. The city has really fallen apart and these people who have filed the complaints about having to work hard shouldn’t be working for the city. They should go get a job where they can take it easy. What John Valdivia has taken on is a massive amount of work.”
The reports that Valdivia is on the take and receiving bribes and kickbacks do not hold up, Pacheco said.
“I am familiar with those false allegations,” Pacheco said. “They are abjectly false. Don Smith signed an affidavit. Don Smith doesn’t provide any evidence, and I am not familiar with any other evidence to that effect.”
The demonization of John Valdivia at the local level is a reflection of the contentious nature of political discourse at the national level, in which all elements along the political spectrum are engaged in a scorched earth strategy of leveling anyone or anything seen as being out of step with one faction’s or the other’s immediate goal of taking absolute control of the office or the position of power being vied over, Pacheco said.
“What is of concern to me is there is a mob mentality not just in San Bernardino but in the United States that is feasting on people,” Pacheco said. “It has nothing to do with underlying philosophy or politics. You will see it happen to people, no matter what side they are on politically. It is a mob mentality. You have members of the city council – some, not all of them – who have been very aggressive in attacking the mayor. I’m not sure what their motivation is. Maybe they think that this will make them look better in comparison to him. It may be political or it may be personal, but they are publicly stoking the flames based on falsehoods, saying the mayor should resign, trying to drive him out of office. It is ugliness. It is unfortunate. The city must be saved, and they are going after the one person who is committed to saving the city. I have watched the city’s leadership since I was a kid. The one other mayor that was trying hard was Mayor Valles. And now the city has John Valdivia. They have not had true leadership in the city for a long, long time. Mayor [Robert] Holcomb presided over the glory days. When he left the city began to deteriorate slowly but surely over time.”
Pacheco said, “In San Bernardino, public safety is in a shambles. You have severe underemployment. Sixty percent of the people are on unemployment or are receiving public assistance. The city is falling apart. It is not just on the west side anymore, like it was when I was a kid, but everywhere.”
Pacheco continued, “What is going on is the city council members are grabbing a hold of a false claim and running their mouths, saying, ‘Well, the mayor needs to resign.’ How dare they? Why don’t they do their jobs for the people in the city?”
Pacheco dismissed accusations that Valdivia has a problem with alcohol and with other intoxicants, and is an illicit drug user.
“That is laughable,” Pacheco said. “It is weird. I can I read in the claims where he went here and then we went there. He mention shoes. It’s ‘One time, he mentioned my shoes.’ They say that is sexual harassment. They say they were somewhere and that he had a drink, so that means he was obviously intoxicated.”
The goal is to discredit the mayor using innuendo and suggestion, none of which is steeped in fact or evidence, Pacheco said. Valdivia’s accusers are making a case against him because that is their way to riches, he said. “They are trying to drive the city to pay them off,” Pacheco said. “What was their motive in having a sequence of press conferences? Why not just have one press conference where they have their say? Why did they have four? Why were people who were not even government employees taking part?”
Pacheco took issue with Payne, who changed her story, he said.
“She was at the first press conference and the San Bernardino Sun talked to her. She was quoted as saying ‘I’m here to be supportive of the person in the press conference, even though I have never been harassed myself.’ A month later, she filed a claim saying she had been sexually harassed. How is that credible? There could not be a greater contradiction. Some people will do anything for money.”
Those gunning for Valdivia have ulterior motives, Pacheco said.
“They are trying to drive him out of office,” Pacheco said. “I was hired to make sure he was treated fairly. There have been efforts to hamstring him from the beginning. He tried to hire an attorney, and the city wouldn’t hire an attorney for him. They have not done anything to investigate this. Mr. Pelayes has not let them interview anyone who filed the claims. The only one interviewed was Don Smith. Mr. Pelayes previously denied them access to him and would not allow him to be interviewed, but he was a city employee and the city told him he had to cooperate, and then Mr. Pelayes gave in and had him interviewed.”
Pacheco pointed out that the city is paying Barboza $350 an hour to serve as an investigator and paying J. Scott Tiedemann of Liebert Cassidy and Whitmore $600 an hour to oversee what is going on when no real investigation is possible.
“The city keeps throwing money at this,” Pacheco said. “The city should spend its time and money elsewhere. The accusers don’t want to be cooperative. If they want to sue the city and mayor, they will have to go to court and I can cross examine people and find out if what is in the complaint is true. This does not resemble a court proceeding in the least. I don’t get to cross examine people. I can’t put anyone on the stand. If I were the city, I would say to Mr. Pelayes, ‘If someone wants to interview your client, you are supposed to allow inquiries to be made. That is called discovery.’ He refuses absolutely for the people who are making these accusations to be questioned. There is a fundamental issue of fairness there. Mr. Tiedemann hired an investigator named Barboza. We asked Tiedemann in writing for the documents he has. He has refused. He said this is just an interim report that is going to go to the city council, which means it is a public document. We have a right to the interviews they have before we go down the road. This is unfair and it is designed to be an ambush.”
The city has no substance to hang its hat on when it comes to knowing what is true and what is false with regard to the accusations made by Pelayes’s clients, Pacheco said.
“They have no one to interview, but Tiedemann and Barboza got extra money from the council. I don’t know why they did that. You’d have to ask them. This is an investigation that does not have to be done. Why do you need more money? That money would be better spent on parks or job training. They need to revive the city and its economy, like the mayor is trying to do. I go to courthouses all over Southern California. In Santa Ana, in San Diego, in Riverside, I have to park four blocks away. In Los Angeles, I have to park in a parking lot eight blocks away and it costs me $40. The San Bernardino Courthouse is the only courthouse I can park right in front of. There is no business there. Nothing is going on around the courthouse. It is sad. The only one trying to do anything about that is Mayor Valdivia, and they are trying to run him out of office. The others say they are working on it and that they have the same good intent. This isn’t about intent. It is about results. San Bernardino is a mess. The city needs to be saved.”
The matter has been playing out for too long, Pacheco said. “We’re now moving toward eight months after this first came up,” he said. “These claims were made in January. During that time, Mr. Pelayes said you are not interviewing my client. The city has no one to interview.”
Pacheco said, “John Valdivia is the mayor of a city that has huge problems. When I was a younger man, before I was district attorney but was with the prosecutor’s office, I was trying murder cases, death penalty cases. That is serious work. It is hard work. You can’t do an average amount of work when you are working a death penalty case. You can’t come in at nine and leave at five. Not everybody is up to that. A lot of prosecutors never try a death penalty case. They can try misdemeanors. They can try some felonies. But a murder case is different. It is the same in working for a city. Some cities, like San Bernardino, are a challenge. And in those cities there are people who just should not be there. They may not be up to it. They may not be willing to do the work for other reasons. People were asked to work by the mayor and they couldn’t do it. And he gave them a hard time about it. This isn’t Beverly Hills or Pasadena or Santa Barbara. This is San Bernardino.”
