By JIMMY DUTRA
We have seen politics hit an all-time low in our community. Behavior that has been more common at the national and state level has arrived in our local politics. It has moved from “what I can do for the people” into “how I can smear my opponent the most.” Instead of debating issues and pointing out facts and differences, some candidates have moved into spreading lies and misinformation in order to trick the voters.
I pride myself on being honest and value my integrity. As I have knocked on your doors for the last eight years since first being elected into office, we have spoken about the issues that most affect our community. As the District 4 city council member, we cleaned up the sloughs in our neighborhood and built a park in our district. Most recently on the city council I voted against a development that is intended to be constructed on toxic land. I put the health of our community first.
When Covid-19 was greatly impacting our city I fought hard as your mayor to obtain access to the vaccine. The vaccine was being utilized in the north part of our county while we were being disproportionately affected by this pandemic. This was not fair and I spoke up for all of us.
I have always been working hard for the people of our valley. As I have made decisions and created policy for our community, my actions and decisions at times were in conflict with the establishment. I will not be a rubber stamp for decisions coming out of our local government. Nor am I or would I be a puppet for special interest groups. I will absolutely work with everyone, but will not feel I have to owe my support or vote. I will award support when the decision is best for the community or organization as a whole.
This becomes problematic for these entities who are looking for a puppet. Thus, a target is placed on my back. Did I ever think three days before people began to vote in an election I would be blindsided by lies and untruths? Absolutely not. However, people do desperate things when they are faced with losing. After the June primary I was up by over 7%. As I continued knocking on doors after the primary I was connecting more and more with our community and our momentum was growing. I was feeling confident we were going to be the next voice to represent our valley.
Needless to say my opponent and his supporters conveniently pivoted the conversation away from discussing local issues, which they clearly would prefer not to discuss. They wanted to swim in a pool of misinformation and lies. All in order to distract the voters from having to talk about what is really facing our community.
It has been a week since we received that horrible and disgusting mailer from a dark money political consulting group out of Sacramento. This is the same group you received mailers in support of my opponent during the primary. Have we heard my opponent step up and say this is wrong? No we have not. I believe how we campaign is a reflection of the leader we would be.
Why does Sacramento and all this outside money want to get him elected? There is a reason they have been spending up to $100,000 against me. It is because I will not be a mouthpiece for their special interest buddies.
The voters have two very different choices. Someone who is owned by special interests or someone like me who owes no favors and can actually be a voice for all of us in the Pajaro Valley without reservation.
Democracy is so vulnerable right now. We need to protect it. This election our local democracy is on our ballot and it will be up to us to decide the future of our community.
Jimmy Dutra is a candidate for Fourth District Santa Cruz County Supervisor. His opinions are his own and not necessarily those of the Pajaronian.
Jimmy is correct. a target has been on his back ever since he first ran for city council. that is true for most LGBTQIA candidates, and it is true of me as well. I have defended both Jimmy and myself from repeated attacks from mostly anonymous haters now for years, on this website.
Democracy IS on the ballot.
I support Jimmy Dutra and ask that you vote for him Nov. 8.
Steve, you stupid fly. Your endorsement doesn’t help Dutra. He has enough problems. Go back to painting your hair.
Wendy, you have been after me for years. stupid fly? my constituents come to me for advice, and not only political advice. you have hated Dutra for years. For your info, many candidates for office have sought out my endorsement. so much for your foolish words. you tried to get me thrown off Nextdoor.com. did it work? NOPE.
if I want to color my hair, I will do so. I do not need beauty advice from you. every six weeks does the job. my hair does not look mousy. yours does. my curl is natural. go get a perm, it couldn’t hurt.
Hilarious. “Beauty tips from Steve.” Call Oprah. Let’s do a syndicated television show.
well, i can understand why you won’t run your photo. no one wants to see someone who impersonates a failed president from the 1870’s. you are clearly jealous that i go to each city council meeting and speak. i am glad it bothers you. you made my day. and your little gang of Dutra haters can just hate away. and as far as beauty tips, here is my favorite:
cant stand what you look at in the mirror ? BAG YOUR FACE. I like mine just fine , thank you very much.
You are wasting your time with Steve-O he is dumber than a snail.
I support the opponent, the humble Felipe Hernandez who served TWO terms as a medic in the Middle East. What had Jimmy done that even comes close? Nothing substantial.
Felipe protects and has fought for workers, the Dutra family has worked to prevent workers from organizing. I want a Supervisor I can trust to work hard to protect workers and students, housing and jobs, and that one we can trust is Felipe Hernandez.
This is my opinion, based on personal experience. I do not speak for the board of trustees at Cabrillo, or the college.
Cruzzer we all saw your hit pieces on this website. we all know how you hate Dutra. but like so many haters on this website, you HIDE IN ANONYMITY. if you are so proud of Felipe and so sure of your hatred for Dutra, why not say so USING YOUR REAL NAME AND IDENTITY ? i do that with every post I make here. I am transparent. many haters of Dutra are not, and they hide in cowardice, like you.
Felipe has not made any effort to work with me on any Cabrillo issue. my emails go unanswered. he will not even commit to having board meetings twice a year at our Watsonville campus, after he PROMISED me he would.
when i proposed a student center on our Watsonville campus for Asian American and Pacific Islander students, he said i had “blind slided him”. REALLY ? what about equity for our AAPI population ?
perhaps if Felipe showed up for more meetings, and on time, he would have more credibility. He did not show up for our first graduation in 3 years last May. ( I was the only male trustee to hand out diploma covers and speak to students) .
It is easier to pad your resume with a job that has only passing interest to you when you are waiting around for a better paying job to come up in the future.
you need to reevaluate .
excuse me, but you do not get to use an office just to get another one, while ignoring your duties on your current elected job . that is what Felipe is doing now. I know. I am the other trustee for Cabrillo college. i hear the crickets whenever his name is called to vote on Zoom. i know what i have experienced in the last 2 years. and you have not been part of it. so you need to listen to the OTHER trustee from Watsonville.
and he sure did not seem too interested in Asian American and Pacific Islander students at our Watsonville campus when i proposed a student center for them, again, he told me that i “blind slided him”. what nonsense.
Deflection at its finest. What is dark money? Where did you get your $100,000 figure from? What case did you win against your dads partner? What ever happened to Dutra farms? All facts I can’t find sources to. Please provide sources and be transparent.
Your stories are far fetched and quite frankly a page out of D. Trumps handbook. You are not important enough for “big establishments” and “dark money” to scheme against you to take you down. That’s a typical crutch to distract people from the fact that you have a lawsuit against you for child molestation. We all know a random person isn’t going to put themselves through the legal system for no reason. Delusional. Less than 2% of reported sex crimes are false. Statistics are in favor of the victim.
If this is all a conspiracy to take you down by the dark magic warlords. Why haven’t you taken legal action? Because you can’t back up what you’re saying.
Your past seems questionable. No longtime job. Claims to have extensive knowledge in farming but spent most of your life in big cities. Allegations of child molestation – while working in a school with vulnerable children with bare minimum credentials. Found guilty of a hit and run. The more I read about you the more I say hmmm… what kind of guy are you without the mask?
This buffoon knows as much about farming as he does about building a spaceship and flying to Jupiter. By the way, at the October 19 candidate forum, the liar claimed he owns farmland. Is that a fact? We will soon see. The very next day a complaint with the FPPC was filed citing his October 19 statement (proven by a video snippet from the forum) and the Commission’s attention was drawn to his failure to list his supposed farmland on his Form 700. Most of his lies aren’t perjury. Deliberately filing a false Form 700 is perjury. PS to Greg Caput: We miss you already!
yes, he owns farmland. are you his accountant? his realtor? his mommy? you have been hating on Jimmy for years. and i am now part of your little “I HATE” club. i wear that badge with honor. you have NO credibility.
Does he need an accountant? Does he need a realtor? He doesn’t need a mommy. He has Mother Teresa. By all accounts, she makes the mother character in the Manchurian Candidate look like Mother Goose by comparison.
Hey pay attention, dummy. If he owns farmland it is required to be disclosed on his Form 700. But, farmland does not appear anywhere in his Form 700. Therefore, there are only two possible logical conclusions. Either he is lying on his Form 700 to hide his interest in farmland (that will be affected by the next county supervisor) OR he is lying to the general public by falsely claiming that he is the “only one in this campaign who owns farmland” (don’t argue that he didn’t say that; it is proven by the video of the candidates forum on October 19). Again, there are only two possible LOGICAL conclusions—although I have no doubt that you will not comprehend either but will dream up a dozen illogical conclusions in a futile attempt to cover for your stupidity.
I noticed that on his form 700 as well. He didn’t disclose anything.
Don’t try to reason with Steve “Cabrillo” Trujillo. Reason and Steve are perpetually at odds.
read about my experience with my neighbor today. once again, you are wrong about me. but that is OK. you do not know me anyway.
I am not stupid. the voters proved that in 2020, despite your nasty efforts . i won with more than 60 percent of the vote. and i muted you on nextdoor.com after you tried to get me excluded from the website. what a dummy you are! . and guess what? i am doing the same on the Pajaronian. read what i wrote about the topic of this editorial and take heed.
when you finally reach adulthood I will listen to you. for now, GOODBYE !
Wtf? So you just ignore facts? You shouldn’t be a teacher either.
I do not ignore facts. i retired from my profession in 2013. and you have no right to tell me otherwise. who the hell are you to tell me about my former career? NOBODY.
read what i wrote below. no one is more dissimilar to trump than Dutra,
Neither of them had a father who could say NO. Each of them has a shocking sense of self-entitlement, as a result. Trump and Dutra. Two peas in a pod.
really? is that why he worked years to get a teaching credential ? so did I. we do not do that because we feel “entitled”. what garbage ! if you want 2 peas in a pod, look at the other candidate that ran for supervisor in June and his political idol, TRUMP . that makes sense. you do not.
He carried a 30 day substitute teaching PERMIT. That takes years to get?
he has a credential. a permit is all that is required for a substitute position. and you do not know what his credentials are, as you are not his lawyer, his manager , his accountant or anyone that has access to h is personal info.
Neither of them had a father who could say NO. Each of them has a shocking sense of self-entitlement, as a result. Trump and Dutra. Two peas in a pod.
Dutra was an employee of PVUSD until recently. but the civil lawsuit ( nor criminal charges involved) made it uncomfortable to keep him employed. since there was NO police report against him, or any other legal action against him, he was able to get a CA teaching credential a few years ago.
how do I know? I went through the process 4 times, as i earned 4 different teaching credentials in CA. and what he earned is NOT a “bare minimum credential”. you know nothing about the process, clearly. listen to someone who does: ME.
and he was never found guilty of a hit and run. this is imaginary fodder to feed the Dutta haters like you.
The legal action against regarding the Dutra farm and the former partner went on for years. what is where the money comes from. and ex step bro wants a big piece of that , apparently.
do you think Watsonville does not have greedy people like Trump ? guess again.
He had a 30 day substitute teaching pass for the school year. Then he contradicts himself by saying he’s in the classroom everyday.
Yes he was. Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco Case No. CGC 12 521593 Bella Babchin Et Al v. James Michael Dutra Et Al. Look it up.
And who’s the ex-step brother? This is a new character to his web of lies… or your pure incompetence to be able to read and understand who is who. Until you can show me a lawsuit for this “contentious 6 year lawsuit” I don’t want to hear it. Talk is cheap, provide facts.
no he was not. but apparently you are determined to convict him anyway. yes, talk is cheap. and you have no facts, just hate. and we know why.
I am literally quoting a SETTLED lawsuit. What are you actually talking about? Do you deny the $100k he had to pay to the victim too? Below is a link to the court settlement.
https://www.plainsite.org/dockets/download.html?id=43439346&z=05a98c27
The dude is a fraud and I see through it. You are quite literally delusional and I hope to god you don’t teach students…
Do you really believe I made up that court case number that you can easily google?
i already have. you are wrong on both counts. and if anyone is delusional , it is YOU.
The foundation for his makeup is too orange. He chooses to wear lipstick matching his polyester sport coat from Sears Roebuck. With that getup, he should be running for public office in Palm Springs not Watsonville.
Wendy , your homophobia is obvious. it is tired and rather ignorant. Sears and Roebuck went out of business years ago. and his natural coloring is who he is. many men wear lip gloss and foundation. if you can do it, so can any male. so get over it !
and as far as buffoonery, look in the mirror. your fashion comments are so dated as to make you like a buffoon.
as to Caput, WE look forward to his departure. it can’t come soon enough.
as an elected official , we ALL file form 700 to the FPPC every year. the press keeps track as to which electeds do it correctly. he has never been cited by the FPPC nor have I.
your assertions are incorrect yet again. Having run for public office and WON twice in this county, I know more about this than you do.
You are a disgrace.
your other comments regarding the candidates for the hospital board make YOU a disgrace. read what i read and get educated.
you are a fraud. and your comments about the hospital board members are BEYOND disgraceful . have you no shame? apparently not.

Far from representing Watsonville. Jimmy is arrogant and doesn’t know our community.
i have never found him to be arrogant. he was born and raised here. he knows this community.
Of course THE DEFENDANT is arrogant with narcissism layered on top. What other explanation could there possibly be for THE DEFENDANT to equate his political plight with “democracy on the ballot” Give me a break. Whichever of these guys gets elected, even if it happens to be THE DEFENDANT, won’t affect democracy in the least.
the good news: YOU will not be elected this year, either. and masquerading as the president who ushered in the JIM CROW era is nothing to brag about.
Hey, Steve FALSEjillo, you have a big mouth and a miniscule brain.
The Republican party was not responsible for Jim Crow. That would be the DEMOCRATIC party of which I understand you claim to be a member.
Starting in the 1870s, as the Southern economy continued its decline, Democrats took over power in Southern legislatures and used intimidation tactics to suppress black voters. Tactics included violence against blacks and those tactics continued well into the 1900s. Lynchings were a common form of terrorism practiced against blacks to intimidate them. Republicans in the time of the Civil War and directly after were literally the party of Lincoln and anathema to the South. As white, Southern Democrats took over legislatures in the former Confederate states, they began passing more restrictive voter registration and electoral laws, as well as passing legislation to segregate blacks and whites.
How do you like them apples, Steve?
RB Hayes made a deal to get to the presidency. Sam Tilden of New Jersey won the popular vote , and the electoral vote was a tie. in order to win, Hayes promised he would withdraw federal troops from the south. he did , and the Jim Crow era began. Hayes was a Republican political whore, who turned his back on the south and all freed slaves. how do you like those lemons, RB? if you actually studied US history, you would know that. the parties have switched roles in recent decades. just look at Mississippi. 40% are African Americans and no statewide officials and all of them RETHUGLICANS. the GOP loves apartheid in Mississippi.
again, you do not study history, or even current political events outside of Watsonville. I DO. class dismissed !
Hey foolio, Sam Tilden was from NY not NJ.
The Civil War, in which Hayes served as a general for the good guys, was over. Years after the Civil war ended, federal troops were OCCUPYING a region of the United States of America. Domestic occupation! It was time to have one country again. Apparently, you like the idea of having federal troops occupying regions of our own country. Therefore, if Donald Trump is reelected as president, and if he orders federal troops to occupy the Pajaro River levy with a tactical nuclear weapon aimed straight at your rubber room in Bay Village, please don’t complain and please hope your straight jacket is bulletproof.

JIMMY IS NOT A VICTIM!
If jimmy were a straight man and a woman came forward all you people backing him would believe the woman right? Because remember BELIEVE ALL WOMAN!
Oh btw Jimmy you are just like all politicians another lier. Update your headshots because that’s not how you truly look these days. I barely recognized you when the pajaronian covered you when you came to talk to the public. Definitely deceiving and you never came to my home knocking. The only one who did was Felipe he even asked for me by name because I asked his mother a very important question she couldn’t answer and he ended up coming to my home. Not that I like any politician but he did score points that day.
the alleged victim is not a woman. the alleged victim was cut OUT of the Dutra family will. he had 17 years to at least file a police report. there was none. if there had, Jimmy would never have received a teaching credential and would have been arrested. did not happen, yes, Jimmy is a victim. and the victimizers are the little HATE group that appears on this thread. and you hate me as well as you know I am correct. and my mental health is better than all of yours, thank you. and what he wears, his cosmetic use, his hair color and clothing choices MEAN NOTHING as to his ability to perform the job. it that is your standard, it just shows how little you understand about candidates for office or elections. grow the hell up !!
Wow.. STEVE TRUJILLO falsely claims victim was cut out of Dutra will, when there are no ties (or expectancy) to Dutra’s family estate whatsoever. It’s depressing. Making up a story just to fit what you want to believe. is the victim this ex brother in law that you somehow manifested? How can you claim to know this? You need to watch your words because basically making up a story pulling it out of your behind just to make your story make sense…. is appalling. This VICTIM who you are blatantly and dangerously painting as no more than a dirty revenge driven liar, knew people like you would surface and blindly defend, and he may or may not be ok with that, but it shouldn’t effect much of your conscience. Just saying that I’m glad this is a public forum, but also a little concerning that you will mute anyone who disagrees with you. Before you mute me too, Ill just save your comment thread because people need to know that you just harassed a victim of sexual assault by making up a false statement in a public forum. BYEEEE
i have not harrassed anyone. but that is what you are doing to me. and i also have this on record. and the Dutra haters , like you, are also on record . how do you like that ? BYEEE !
Oh boo hoo always crying victim Steve. That’s why the youth of today are failing in life because of “role models” like yourself who insert themselves in positions of power.
i was elected with more than 60 percent of the vote. i did NOT insert myself into anything. i ran as a candidate. if you think you can do the same, then do so in 2024 and stop accusing me of inserting myself into power. you did not pass American government in high school, did you?
it is apparent. The youth of today are failing in life? maybe in your family, but that is not what i see in this community. unlike Felipe, I distributed diploma covers at our Cabrillo graduation ( first time in 3 years). i saw success and addressed it I even offered to speak to Felipe’s boss about allowing him to attend. he declined. i still do not know why.
i was the ONLY male trustee to attend. if you had attended, you would not say our youth of today are failing in life. why do you say that? is it , because they do not belong to your “church” ? what a sad and ignorant comment about today’s youth.
Do you even know how to read? I didn’t say the victim was a woman now did I. Are you his lawyer? Seems like you know more details than the general public. Go back to school Steve your comprehension is off as always. Yes, you are correct about hating groomers and that’s what you fall under when you wanna trans the children. That’s why I speak out against people like you & jimmy.
Steve – the victim was a family friend. Not a step brother and was never included in a will. Can you show proof to back up what you are saying?
See commentary above. Dutra estate < Losing lottery ticket.
speaking of losing lottery tickets, you need to buy one.
you speak out against us because that is what your little group of haters tells you to do. you just cannot stand the fact that: 1. i taught reading to middle schoolers in my 36 year career. 2. that i was a reading tutor in the program called “book buddies” at our local library before the pandemic. 3. that I meet with Cabrillo students and listen to them on a regular basis. (most recently at the Diversity Center GALA last weekend). 4. that i have both a BA and MA and 4 teaching credentials for the students of CA. 5. that I am a published author.
i am quite proud of all of it. and i am ashamed of you. your GLBTQIA hatred is all too apparent.
If you taught reading those poor children have no chance. The way you pick and choose what we write and then go off on rants about it is hilarious and scary at the same time. You tout your education degrees but we all see how it doesn’t matter by the way you write on this public forum.
that is what you wrote. “believe woman”. there was no woman involved in the lawsuit. and you know it. YOU need to write the truth instead of falsehoods. and you do not know me either. I have never met you. it is obvious you have an axe to grind over land and money. you could not be more obvious. I do not. i do not own farm land. I did not own a farm either. so you hatred is both misplaced but typical of homophobes who just cant deal with successful elected officials who are. GROW THE HELL UP !
Your comprehension is rather horrible maybe you should re read what I initially wrote.
It’s rather quite scary how you display your ignorance for the city to see. I’m sure everyone who read what I wrote understood what I said but all you saw was “believe woman”. When clearly it says more than that.
For a cabrillo trustee to be acting the way you do is appalling and it’s a no brainer why the youth at higher education are failing in life because of people in charge like you.
For reference this what I wrote…..
If jimmy were a straight man and a woman came forward all you people backing him would believe the woman right? Because remember BELIEVE ALL WOMAN!
See Steve your comprehension is rather disgusting can’t even comprehend simple sentences. And you are a board trustee for cabrillo lol goes to show why our youth are failing these days.
if you were believable, you would not quote right wing anti gay and anti trans talking points that Steve Bannon could have written. and the plaintiff did not mention a woman present when he was allegedly molested. i believe women who are credible. You are not. and neither YOU nor I were there when the alleged incident occurred. so cut the holier than thou act. it is pure crap.
Wow and you’re still going for it 😂 please re read what I said not like it will make a difference as we can see on full display here.
If you were believable you would think with your brain and not what talking points cnn tell you to push.
do you have an MA? a BA? did you teach reading? did you serve 36 in public education? you know NOTHING about me. so stop lying.
your comments above are anti trans and anti gay. you are a right wing extremist. you have no idea of my background or my career. but you envy that i am now on career number two. grooming? you sound like a right wing candidate from Arizona . I was a proud , out role model for LGBT students. i did not live in the closet. my coming out story was published in the second edition of “One Teacher in 10” from Alyson Books in 2006. what have you had published? you are a joke. so your charge of “grooming” is a right wing screed that doesn’t wash in CA.
by the way , Monique, I am the only male member of Friends of the Watsonville library. i have tutored young kids to read at the Watsonville library. was i “grooming ” them to learn to love reading? I SURE WAS. guilty as charged ! LOL! your ignorant comments just have no limit, do they?
I don’t envy gay people. Nobody cares about who is gay btw. You wanna live in sin that’s fine but leave the children out of your wackadoodle nonsense.
since you are ignorant of child development, allow me to educate you. all children develop a sense of their sexuality when they are first born. it does not happen at 18. all children need to realize that their peers may not be just like them. children need to be exposed to the REAL world with all its variations so they do not end up like bitter, angry souls who expect everyone to be like them.(that would be you). we are all colors of the rainbow. you do not have to envy us. and NO ONE said you did. but you will have to accept us, whether you like it or not. FIRST AMENDMENT SAYS SO. read it !!!
All children develop a sense of their sexuality when they are first born? Where is your science to back that up?
I don’t have to accept you people but I will tolerate until you want to drag innocent children in your immoral lifestyle.
Funny how you pick and choose what parts of the constitution you want to follow.
Did you get those “facts” from the sexuality studies of children from Alfred Kinsey?
There he goes again. Steve FALSEjillo. Talking about the Dutra family will! Wow. I have losing lottery tickets that are worth more than the entire Dutra family estate. The Dutra family is broke. They were sharecroppers for Well Pict. Read all about it on the website of the Santa Cruz County Superior Court. Dutra hired a bloviating blowhard lawyer named Bob Johnson to sue Well Pict. After years of Dutra chasing the pot at the end of the rainbow, Well Pict finally kicked their teeth in. Dutra and the blowhard lawyer ran away with their tails between their legs. Sad. Pitiful. Reality.
actually, they are not. but go ahead and assume you know as you are the bloviating blowhard in the above statement.
I know the family. and my name is spelled TRUJILLO. and I do not try to use a fake name from a failed POTUS from the 1870’s. your name is FALSE, not mine. I am transparent. you are too cowardly to do so. so you have NO credibility.
I know the family. and my name is spelled TRUJILLO. and I do not try to use a fake name from a failed POTUS from the 1870’s. your name is FALSE, not mine. I am transparent. you are too cowardly to do so. so you have NO credibility.
and you know nothing about the process about working for a school district. thankfully, you do not work for PVUSD. it is a high bar to pass the FBI clearance check, DUI and DMV check , not to mention your FICO score check. and social media is checked for every teacher as well. there was NO police report.
So using your logic, are saying if you use your real name, like the victim, that they should be credible?? I hope you respond to this question because I can’t wait to see what you say, after you spit out another one of your false facts. Also, you say you have your masters in counseling, shouldn’t you know how victims are effected? And how are you being pulled into this lawsuit???? What do you even have to do with what actually happened 17 yrs ago? People are coming at you from all angles because you’re inserting yourself into the argument, and claim it’s homophobia. I’m gay, does that confuse you? The victim is gay, it doesn’t have anything to do with it.
look at Monique’s post. if that is not homophobic, then nothing is . read it.
and were you around when i was counselor? i don’t think so. and as to how victims are affected, that was one of my main responsibilities at Rolling Hills Middle school 20 years ago. you have no idea. and I will comment on any public issue, including a lawsuit whose plaintiff CHOSE to make it public. this is a feeding frenzy on JImmy Dutra, and the vultures are at the ready. i saw that at Rolling Hills Middle School, and i had to counsel both the victim and the attackers. you have NO idea.
just for the record, and to educate ms. Parker and mr. Donovan: , I received my MA in counseling at SJSU in 1989. i know more about mental health than either one of you. I earned ( one of 4 CA credentials) and was a counselor at Rolling Hills Middle School. my principal, like you, and so many who post online here, was a HOMOPHOBE. Being gay, I recognize the language and the bigoted attitudes. Parker and Donovan live in the 20th century. I do not.
the harrassment i am receiving below from the Dutra haters is of course, transferable to me as I am also gay. they are determined to involve me in the lawsuit, of which I am not a party. that does not matter to people who use the court for their own entertainment and wealth. I am glad I do not know any of them personally.
I will add that because the lawsuit is a PUBLIC matter, brought to our attention by the plaintiff, anyone who comments here, other than the plaintiff and the defendant, has the right to do so.
In the meantime, both supervisorial candidates have a campaign to run. and the comments below from the Dutra haters DO NOT ADD anything to the dialogue.
my perspective will continue to appear in the Pajaronian whether any of you like it or not. and if you are going to accuse me of any crime, or use the word “dummy”, I will simply MUTE YOU.
This campaign to harass me is similar to the one that Ms. Parker did in the summer of 2020 on nextdoor.com i would say to her: didn’t you learn from that failure? we learn from our failures. apparently , not you.
today, I was delighted to get a call from my neighbor about the ballot. the neighbor asked me about the county supervisor race. I was able, using rationality , logic and fact, to convince my neighbor OUT of voting for Felipe. I am quite proud of my neighbor. and my neighbor appreciated the time i took to review the questions about the ballot measures they had as well.
hate me all you want, I make sense to my neighbors and they appreciate me.
Let us get back to the topic of this editorial. Democracy IS on the ballot. One party , the Democrats, believe in it. The other party, the Rethuglicans , do not. they believe in all power rested in one pathologically sick man, Trump. They deny the election results from 2020, they want to install secretaries of state who have no power to officially certify the vote in each election. they want to keep people of color from voting. Jimmy is correct. A vote for the GOP is a vote against democracy.

Do you want teachers like this for your children? That’s what Jimmy and Steve want.
Isn’t Jimmy Dutra a predator? How is he still being allowed to run for supervisor? Also, why is Steve Trujillo all about him anyways lol arguing in the comments of a newspaper article. Steve you are so out of touch.

This is what grooming looks like in schools. Is this what you want for your children?
It’s time for parents to take a stand and push back because they are not giving up. All they wanted was the right to be married I thought and now look what is spiraling out of control.

I thought we have teachers for arithmetic, reading and writing? Where is it in their job description to teach sexuality to our children?
