Re: Grand jury

I would like to say how much I admire and respect the members of the 2017-2018 Sutter County grand jury and their commitment to remain diligent, honest and ethical in their positions and responsibilities to the citizens they have sworn to represent and protect from official misconduct.

I sincerely hope that all of their efforts this past year will eventually be presented for public review the way it was originally submitted. Am I the only one who finds it to be a huge conflict of interest that people who are included in these investigations are allowed a two-day heads up to read, edit the findings, and change the outcome of the report? What are we supposed to think when the grand jury members are resigning and are forbidden to speak about what the findings were. Why even bother with a 2018-2019 grand jury? Is that where the local government is heading.

Refusing to release the edited version of the final report is the only hope the public has of ever knowing the unedited truth.

Tina Bechtel Battalion, 56th Artillery along with the 7th Battalion, 71st Artillery. They departed from Oakland by boat. Twenty days later they arrived in Vietnam.

Hawk units deterred enemy aircraft, defended air bases, fuel and ammo dumps, cities, major troop areas and Free World ports in The Republic of South Vietnam. They could detect enemy aircraft up to 43 miles away, had a range of 15 miles and could engage targets as high as 36,000 feet. All Hawk units were activated in Vietnam by August 1969.

P.S. If Bruce is interested, have him Google “history of Hawk” and “Hawk in Vietnam.”
