Elan Firpo has requested Paul Gallegos reassign the Ferrer case; this and more at the Arcata Town Hall meeting today

From Elan Firpo:

"I have asked the District Attorney, Paul Gallegos, to reassign the People v. Juan Ferrer case.  

The recent exchanges in the media and misinformed, misguided grandstanding of some of my campaign opponents have mired a very serious and difficult case in politics.   

As a prosecutor, I take seriously both the obligation that all matters be handled based on the facts and the rule of law, and that even that appearance of impropriety from political influence be avoided.  Justice can only be served at this point if it is disentangled from the political campaign."

This is one of the things Elan will be mentioning to day at a Town Hall meeting today from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm at the Arcata Community Center today. If you have not met Elan, this is a chance for you to talk with her in person, if you are an Elan supporter, go show her moral support. It is not uncommon for other candidates to send their supporters to other candidates' events to try and stack the deck.

This is an opportunity for the public to get to hear about what Elan offers as a candidate for this very important office.

Elan has shown great class and risen above the fray of actions by certain opponents and she is my choice for DA.

Since Access Humboldt is not airing the Tea Party Debate for a while and not everyone has access to that Channel, I will be reprinting the questions asked of all candidates and their responses in a post soon so those who could not attend get a chance to read all 4 candidates' positions on various issues.
