CASES IN PROGRESS
PEZOA vs COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA, United States District Court, Northern District of California,
Case No.  C-05-03717-JF

When was the last time you heard of somebody suing a government agency for officially
segregating a workplace?  Try right now.

According to the EEOC determination in the case of Pezoa v. County of Santa Clara, "The evidence
uncovered during the Commission's investigation establishes that Respondent segregates its
psychiatric social workers on the basis of race and/or national origin.  Respondent has created a
'Latino Room' for its non-Vietnamese social workers and correspondingly has a 'Vietnamese Room'
for Vietnamese social workers.  Respondent is not even coy about this as it even has hallway signs
designating 'Latino Group' and 'Vietnamese Group.'  Moreover the evidence shows that Vietnamese
social workers are benefited by having lower case loads and are accorded more flexibility in work
hours than non-Vietnamese.  As a result of Respondent's practices, there is little communication or
interaction between the various racial and ethnic groups, creating racial and ethnic tension and a
hostile work environment."

The supervisor who set up and enforced this arrangement and who retaliated against Ms. Pezoa
when she protested these conditions was eventually prosecuted and declared a
mentally
disordered sex offender!

Don't you feel safe and well taken care of knowing that a man supervising a California county's
psychiatric social workers was a mentally disordered sex offender?

It gets better--or worse:  At least one member of the Board of Supervisors, the County Counsel's
office, and everybody up the chain of command knew about, tolerated and are now continuing to
defend this state of affairs.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:

Write, telephone, fax, or Email the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors and demand that Ms. Pezoa
receive a public apology for the retaliation she suffered, that she be compensated for her injuries, and that
the County of Santa Clara be required to adopt the principles of 2003 AB 1617 (official policy of California
and National League of United Latin American Citizens) for the investigation and remediation of workplace
harassment and discrimination.

IS ROCKY DELGADILLO PROSECUTING
SAM SAHAB AND PRESTIGE PARKING BECAUSE HE'S IRANIAN-
AMERICAN OR JUST BECAUSE HE DOESN'T CONTRIBUTE TO
ROCKY'S CAMPAIGNS FOR PUBLIC OFFICE?

DECIDE WHETHER THAT QUESTION IS A GOOD ONE OR NOT!

CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING TIMELINE:

  • On March 8, 2006, Delgadillo, the City Attorneys Office
    and a private law firm retained by the Community
    Redevelopment Agency file suit against a whole bunch of
    companies and organizations--including Grant Parking
    owned by the Ullman family--in an eminent domain case
  • On March 15, 2006, Richard Ullman contributes $5,600 to
    "Californians for Rocky" -- Delgadillo's campaign
    committee for his 2006 Primary run for Attorney General
  • On March 16, 2006, two things happen:  the lawsuit is
    dismissed only against Grant Parking and Cathryn Ullman
    makes an additional $5,600 contribution to Californians
    for Rocky

Jan Tucker's Declaration & Court Documents from Case No. 6
CA 02508
In connection with the City of Los Angeles' prosecution of Sam Sahab and Prestige
Parking, J.B. Tucker & Associates sent two (2) letters to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio
Villaraigosa, neither of which he has bothered to respond to (including but not
limited to violating the California Public Records Act time deadline).  The second
letter, dated May 11, 2007, asks Mayor Villaraigosa to explain a campaign contribution
he received from a certain very notorious convicted felon (made before the man's
felony conviction).  In my letter, I posed the issues as:

"If you know why xxxxxxxx made this contribution, I would like you to explain it.  If you
don’t but know (or can find out) what persons from your campaign staff might have
information regarding this contribution I would like to interview them regarding it.

I am also asking that (1) you disclose to me whether you ever used xxxx's services
for “opposition research,” (2) if you used him for “reverse research,” (i.e.,
investigating yourself in order to anticipate what a political opponent might find out),
(3) whether Pellicano’s payment was by check or some other instrument that would
enable him to ascertain the bank account number in which it was deposited (in the
event that you were the target of one of his investigations), and (4) you make
yourself available for an interview regarding this matter."

The second letter speaks for itself.  Download it below:
