Normally, I like to be the first to publish news, if you are upset about the email exchange, ask Bill Bertain what was his point to send it to media?

 

Local lawyer William Bertain sent an email  last to several local media sources and Rob Arkley. A standard confidentiality disclaimer is only attached to one email exchange and that confidentiality is between Security National and William Bertain. Mr. Bertain chose to forward these emails. I do not believe in printing snippets of an email exchange. The public deserves to read all the information forwarded. The email exchange mentions Senator Mike McGuire, the Great Redwood trail, Crowley, Pacific Legal Foundation.

I reached out to Rob Arkley and Bill Bertain this morning. Rob Arkey responded right away, "I know nothing of this.  What is the mail chain?."I fwded him the email. I have not heard from Bill Bertain. 

I have done more than my due diligence reaching out to Rob Arkley and Bill Bertain. I don't know what Bill Bertain was thinking but he is the one sent this email exchange to third parties who did not request it. Even though I knew I could publish the email contents, I waited to add the email exchange and updated it late this morning.

8/29: Late yesterday, Bill Bertain left me a message. I will update if he responds and answers the question asked in a written response as originally requested and reiterated today. As I expected even though I extended the deadline, he did not respond.
