Subject: Opinion on Bonnie Weber re-election...
Ballardini isn't the only problem Weber faces
left a bad taste and long memories towards County Commission incumbent Bonnie Weber. Last July, North Valley
residents were having difficulties with 9-1-1 and sheriff slow or nonexistent response to disturbances and dangers
in the area.
the 9-1-1 / Sheriff lack of response.
a neighborhood watch, and a discrepancy in reporting problems in the system was identified, addressed and
rectified between the Sheriff and the Emergency Communications system. All this without Bonnie Weber's
involvement, help or interest.
By the afternoon of the same day the complaint was lodged, the Sheriff's office had started an inquiry,
contacted the complainant and began to rectify the problem. Bonnie Weber did not respond.
North Valley's Citizens Advisory Board contacted and invited the complainant to present the issue to the CAB.
On July 11, the issue was brought before them during the public comment time.
Bonnie Weber was not even there.
Bonnie Weber was present during this meeting.
it was as if Ms. Weber had just awakened. She started asking questions that indicated she had not been listening
up to that point since the discussion had already covered the points she queried. She acted as if this was the first
she had heard of it when the complainant reminded her that she had been notified the same day the original
complaint was lodged with the Sheriff Office. She responded that she has a high volume of correspondence and
she must have missed it when it was sent to her. She asked to have it re-sent, which was done the next day.
available to share the experience with the commission, to which he agreed and gave her his contact information.
At that time Weber was invited to meet with the newly formed Neighborhood Watch group that resulted from this issue.
The CAB decided to pursue the issue further in September's meeting.
complaint, nor did she show up to meet with the neighborhood watch, And the complainant was never contacted
to arrange an appearance to the County Commission.
As a result of the August CAB, representatives from Emergency Communications contacted the complainant.
An agreement was reached to bring the issue to the September CAB meeting. In September, the representatives
from 9-1-1 appeared with the Sheriff's office and Bonnie Weber was present and much more engaged in the
discussion. The same promise to bring the issue to the County Commission was made.
still promising to place the issue on the Commission's agenda. Emergency Communications and the Sheriff's office
were engaged and addressing the problem. Bonnie Weber never met with the Neighborhood Watch group, never
acknowledged receiving the original 9-1-1 complaint, never contacted the complainant to appear and apparently
never brought the issue to the commission.
understaffed. There is only one or two deputies available to patrol an area from Sun Valley to the California Border.
There is a limited number of patrol cars, equipment and deputies available, largely
due to budget cuts driven by Ms. Weber.

Letter to editor - Reno Gazette Journal
Ballardini may hurt incumbents

From: Leslie Barta
To: Gary Schmidt Subject: letter of thanks Gary, I would like to thank Gary Schmidt for his service to the citizens and taxpayers of Washoe County. During Mr. Schmidt's tenure as vice chair of the Washoe County Board of Equalization, for the first time in decades, that body acted as a truly objective source of justice for taxpayers, rather than merely as a rubber tamp for the assessor. Gary Schmidt has fought for fairness and public justice for years. If Mr. Schmidt is elected to the Washoe County Commission, he will see to it that local government will once again serve its citizens, just as he did at the County Board. Les Barta |
