Of all the names rumored or those planning to run, no one has certain info on the CA State Bar
website. This is public information. I don't have anything against Allan personally and he is a nice guy so while this information may be some years old, if one is running for the office of District Attorney it is important. This post is stuff ordinary people do not know and Allan should be reminded that this race gets nasty and others could use that against him, if he runs.
Unlike anon posts, bloggers, commentators, I sign my name. Just like last year, the anon posts have already started attacking the candidates and other bloggers. Some of these anon posts come from the invisible support, some not, and when they attack me or any other blogger or news source that uses our real name and tries to get information out that should concern the average public.
| I have always urged people regardless of who they support to not make their decision by listening to media, blogs, or someone else's opinion but to meet the candidate and do their own research. If you don't put that effort in, then don't complain about the results. |
Behind every candidate there maybe indirect support. In the District Attorney's race, I would worry more about the underground economy funding, the defense attorneys who visibly or invisibly maybe supporting someone than who endorses or funds someone. Don't let the courthouse in-crowd elect your next District Attorney.
I'd like to add this: It's an interesting aspect of this blog that other people often get caught in the net, based on their entrance into the Gallegos saga. And so their names live online, to be unearthed whenever they apply for a job. Sometimes the searches that lead people here are for other reasons, but it usually has to do with a job search.
ReplyDeleteAnd, so it is that Allan Dollison appears here. His time with the DA's office has come and gone, he rose through Gallegos' ranks, and was slated, some said, to become Assistant DA. He was a loyal player, and, I believe, a true believer.
Through my work here, I am often kept informed about cases, how they're handled, how the various Deputy DA's do their job, interact with victims, and so forth.
And I feel it necessary to say this. I have come to the conclusion, that, for all his past mistake, Allan Dollison turned out to be one of the best and most honest of the bunch, far surpassing his boss, Paul Gallegos.
He has since left the DA's office, and, as is often the case when people leave, I get the chance to talk to them. I have talked with Allan Dollison. And, to his credit, he never once asked me to remove any of this info, as damaging as it is to him. I respect that, and I think it's noteworthy.
If you're looking to hire him, it's worthy of consideration.
I'm not pulling anything down, as that would be a disservice to the facts as they have unfolded, but I am adding this, to mitigate that online-lives-forever reality.
