Two separate votes earlier this year by Rialto councilmen Andy Carrizales, Ed Scott and Rafael Trujillo to divide the Pepper Avenue Specific Plan finalized in 2017 into two separate areas and add to its permitted uses light industrial zoning so that a 735,185-square foot warehouse/distribution center have sparked controversy that refuses to go away.
The two members of the council who opposed that action – Mayor Deborah Robertson and Joe Baca Sr. – made statements and contacted officials about the location of that warehouse and its proximity to the home in which Carrizales lives, ultimately triggering an official complaint by a Rialto resident, Lupe Camacho, to the California Fair Political Practices Commission, alleging Carrizales had a conflict of interest in voting upon the warehouse project as it carried with it the possibility of impacting the value of his property.

With one former Adelanto City Councilman sitting in federal prison and his erstwhile colleague as mayor awaiting sentencing, both based on their efforts to profit from their city’s transition to a cannabis-based economy which they championed, federal officials are at a loss to understand why San Bernardino County officials are now subsidizing the city’s operations despite current officials’ insistence that they allowed City Hall’s once discredited marijuana-based revenue enhancement ploy through because it would cure the city’s financial woes.
There being no question that the past generation of Adelanto’s politicians were on the take from the marijuana industry that has now come to flourish in the 37,868-populations city, suspicion has now fallen on the current crop of elected officials running the city. Currently, with members of the board of supervisors and the county sheriff coming in to prop up municipal operations in Adelanto that should, based on the hefty marijuana sales and profit being achieved by the companies functioning there and the permits, fees and taxes those entities should be paying to put the city well into the black, DEA and FBI agents, to say nothing of members of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, are wondering what the hell is going on.
Jermaine Wright, who was first elected to the Adelanto City Council in 2012, working with Richard Kerr, who was elected mayor in 2014, and John Woodard, who was elected to the council in 2014, were able to use the pretext of Adelanto’s tenuous financial circumstance to justify the bold move of defying the predominant ethos in San Bernardino County at that time, which had, with a lone exception, held the line against marijuana liberalization.

Former Fontana Assistant Police Chief Alan Hostetter has been found guilty of engaging in insurrection during the January 6, 2021 riots at the U.S. Capitol, where he exhorted an already agitated crowd to obstruct the certification of the November 2020 election in favor of Joseph Biden.
Judge Royce Lamberth, who heard the case against Hostetter as a bench trial after the defendant waived his right to a trial by jury, found that despite Hostetter’s professed and actual belief that the election had been stolen from then-incumbent President Donald Trump at the time of his action and his more recently-adopted and professed belief that several of those he was acting in concert with on the days leading up to January 6th as well as on the day of the protests were agents provocateur working on behalf of traitors within the government who had betrayed Donald Trump, the former lawman’s activity had crossed the line from legitimate protest to an effort to overthrow the legally-constituted government.
Hostetter was convicted of four felony counts — conspiring to obstruct and obstructing an official proceeding, trespassing and engaging in disorderly conduct with a dangerous weapon.
The contradictions and paradoxes embodied by Hostetter, the multiple chapters of his life and most particularly his recent legal travails are all consuming. Continue reading →
