UPDATE BREAKING NEWS: James Garland of Tulelake News is supporting the present Mayor for the June 3rd recall election for Randy Darrow of Tulelake, CA as Mayor, I hope you will too...
The Primary Election ballots are now out for the June 3, 2014 Primary Election and the last day to be qualified to vote in this election is May 19, 2014.
There is a recall in Tulelake, CA for the mayor of Tulelake Randy Darrow and should Randy be recalled, you can vote to succeed Randy Darrow,
Like what I am doing as an example, of forgiveness and great leadership.
According to the facts and figures I have before me in the present time. There are between 239 and 242 registered voters for the Primary Election and Recall of the present Mayor, Randy Darrow in this election on June 3, 2014 by mail in ballot.
As in most elections of this kind the turn out or making sure everyone votes is the key in any election, less well a recall election. It is estimated by a reliable source that there may be at least a 50% turn-out of returned ballots in the Recall Election for Randy Darrow slated for June 3, 2014.
Which according to my figures that means at least 120 voters will have their votes counted in this election on June 3, 2014. The major question is how many of those 120 voters are For or Against having Randy recalled this election season?
I ask you to vote to keep the present Mayor, Randy Darrow and not to remove him from his seat or office as mayor of Tulelake, CA.
That is what elections are for and this group can get their chance in 2016, when Randy has his present seat become available, if he chooses not to run or chooses to run at that time in 2016 as Mayor of Tulelake again.
But now is not the time to remove a sitting Mayor in my humble opinion. As much as I disagree with what he has done against me at the most recent and past Tulelake City Council Meetings. I do not hold that against him at the moment. I just see it as a learning curve for Randy Darrow, the present mayor of Tulelake and his future dealings as mayor.
I ask you at this time to vote for the present Mayor, Randy Darrow and keep Randy on as the present Mayor of Tulelake. Instead of allowing this group of people that got the recall on the ballot in this primary election in the first place under false pretenses and false information that was being given to the voters to try and remove a sitting Mayor in the City of Tuleleke.
Thank you for your time in this matter of concern, for all of us in Tulelake, CA. As that makes me a better man and person, than those in the group against Randy Darrow and at the same time for asking YOU to keep Randy Darrow as the present Mayor of Tulelake, rather than recall Randy Darrow at this time.
I am a person of forgiveness, can the rest of you claim the same thing and then call yourselves, Christians in the Community of Tulelake? Answer that question? Or are you just a bunch of fake Christians, claiming to be Christians in Tulelake, CA?
Chief of Police, Tony Ross in front of Tulelake City Hall confirmed that meetings that took place at the Tulelake Police Department were just general purpose meetings with him, and they were just members of the public and the things discussed according to the Chief of Police, Tony Ross. They were personal matters with the Chief Of Police, Tony Ross and not a strategy meeting against the Mayor of Tulelake Randy Darrow according to Tony Ross, the Chief of Police of Tulelake, CA.
When asked the question point blank and on the record If the Chief or Police, Tony Ross was part of the strategy meetings taking place most recently around Tulelake to recall Mayor, Randy Darrow in the June 3, Primary Election State wide?
Tony Ross had this response and reply to the question and it was a flat out denial by stating,"No!". Quote, unquote: as commented by Chief of Police, Tony Ross of Tulelake, CA, in front of Tulelake City Hall at little after 10 AM in his personal pick-up truck on May 14, 2014.
It might be a good time for the Chief of Police to step forward and come out with a statement in support of the Mayor, Randy Darrow at this time of great divide in the City of Tulelake over the recall Election on June 3, 2014 of the Mayor, Randy Darrow.
Then maybe that might put a stop to the speculation by others in and around Tulelake, CA. But that is his choice to stand up in Public for what he believes is the right thing to do or let the rumor and gossip mill continue behind the scenes thinking Tony Ross is part of the recall effort. It is his choice and to his best interest that he does and it is now or not at all Mr. Tony Ross.
Now this same group that have claimed Siskiyou County Sheriffs Office was over paid during the Tony Ross investigation with his administrative leave of absence during that time. Where this group are claiming they are upset about what Mayor, Randy Darrow has done in the past by "Contracting with Siskiyou for 30 days period for a daily fee of $600.00. They seem to also forget that other council members also voted in favor of paying the bills right along with the Mayor, Randy Darrow. They are responsible as much as Randy Darrow. Where is the outrage and recall petition against the other sitting City of Tulelake Council Members? Where two of them, Dar Carroll and Jerry King stated on record at two different Tulelake City Council Meetings that they would resign, if Randy gets recalled on June 3, 2014?
Or is this just a personal vendetta against this Mayor, Randy Darrow for personal reasons by this group, the same group that have complained about the new water and trash changes in the new billing policy of for Tulelake residences. They have been complaining on how unfair it has been to them for all the months they were behind and now are forced to get caught up so the city can pays its bills on time with the new policy that was approved by all of the City of Tulelake Council Members in Tulelake, CA.
You decide and you can by June 3, 2014 and at the latest in Yreka at the Siskiyou County Clerks office by the dead line to turn in your ballots. If you have not already mailed your ballots or still plan too. Or if you are not registered to vote. The last day to register to vote to be eligible to vote in the primary election to vote with the cut off date of May 19, 2014 in this Primay Election taking place which is on June, 3, 2014 or it will be too late to cast your vote for the June 3, 2014 Primary Election.

If anyone had a clear reason to have this Mayor recalled, I do. But I choose to support Randy Darrow instead, over the vengeful group known as the Recall the Mayor campaign Group in Tulelake, CA.
Again where this group claims there were several robberies since contracting with the Siskiyou County Sheriffs Department. Yet, there was one under Tony Ross as Chief of Police and no peep out of them or complaints that are public. But we all in the City of Tulelake know, exactly why there have been no complaints from the Tony Ross Groupies.
Again most recently in the last few months there was a break in at the the Villarta Grocery Store and Taqueria located at 348 Main Street Tulelake, CA 96134 that happened during the re-installment of Tony Ross as "Chief Police" of Tulelake, CA.
This Group mentioned in their recall petition in their opinion that, Charlie Pollon was being over paid. But the truth of the matter says otherwise in the FYE Charlie Pillon was only paid approximately $65,000 that year in 2013. The question that is being claimed circulated in Spanish on their flyer that this group has handed out and for their meeting the group held at meeting at Mike and Wondas on May 14, 2014. The balance was paid to the present CPA Sue with the difference of $14,0032.45, according to a reliable source.
During this time the recall group of Randy Darrow fails to mention it, or avoid it all together that $11,000 they claimed to have been upset about and up in arms over Charlie Pillon being overpaid. The same Charlie Pillon that discovered the former Treasurer of Tulelake putting cash in her pocket that was paid by people paying their water and trash bills with cash. Where Charlie Pillon discovered the discrepancies in accounting, that did not match the records for deposits. Where the city lost in the neighborhood of $15,000 and the former Treasurer has been ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $50.00 a month until it is paid back according to court records.
The over payment that they are claiming happened to fall during the same period when Charlie Pillon was working the Administrative leave costs of Tony Ross and Siskiyou County Sheriff Department investigation, that to the present date Tony Ross is still under investigation for by Siskiyou County Sheriffs Department from the last information received from them and on Record in February and nothing has been announced to date as to if the investigation is over or continuing against Tony Ross. Until Tony Ross is able to come out and make a public statement that the investigation is over, until then there have been no changes in the status of the on going investigation against Tony Ross the Chief of Police of Tulelake, CA.
The above expenditure took place during August of that year in question during the Audit, and the following items: SWRCB, Grant Work & CDBG 8420 were worked on according to a very reliable source.
For this group to want to recall Mayor, Randy Darrow, they best get better facts and figures straight, first. But once again they have no plans to do it, as they would rather be misleading to the Community of Tulelake on their vendetta to remove the present Mayor, Randy Darrow (But what is new with this group?) from his seat on June 3rd. Instead of waiting like most sensible people do, by not voting for him in the 2016 Election when his seat becomes available and if Randy Darrow decides to run again as a candidate in the 2016 election of Tulelake City Council.
A question comes to mind, where was Tony Ross, the Chief of Police for Tulelake during this most robbery? Who is responsible now? Siskiyou County Sheriffs Office or Tony Ross the Chief of Police, of Tulelake, CA for not putting a stop to it on his watch? Since this group wants to blame Siskiyou County Sheriffs Office for the very same thing that has happened under Tony Ross, the Chief of Police.

To date the Chief of Police, Tony Ross is still on a hourly rate and the MOU has not been on the agenda most recently that I can recall to change
his pay status from hourly to a salary position. Why? Or Why not?
