Open Investigations

Investigation 1 - The Twisted Twosome

In your first investigation, you are going to do a deep dive into County Governance systems in California via an example involving Monterey County District 2 Supervisor Glenn Church, his "Chief of Staff", Marilyn Vierra, and a few dozen emails that caused so much confusion and stress -- the volleying ended with a Civil Demand to Church asking him to simply claim their own prose -- and that was declined in a way so bold, not even the age-ed will ignore their cold.

From Day 1 Vierra exposed evasive writing with no need to do so. Policy Analyst Leonie Gray prosed the perfect response, albeit 6 volleys too late. Then came the evasive writing from Church and young Policy Analyst Vanessa Acevedo with remarkably perfect syntax too. Church's writing sample clearly suggested his prose had come from two writers, not one?

Did Vierra ghost write the more evasive part for Church allowing him to just tack on the folksy bit with a hint of feigned ignorance ? Could Church be outsourcing writing to his professional writer wife Katharine McKenzie? Is Acevedo writing her own words or is Vierra, McKenzie , Church or other providing words for her instead? Could there be another originator of all their evasive prose that is possibly worse? And all this on our government dime?

Gray is the only one who came back clean -- so what are the other three doing behind the scenes? If ghost writing transpired with written prompts for prose, did they retain those too, as would be required by law?

Review multiple email strings from a concerned constituent that expose rot across a broad range of commercial and government topics . You will see you see evasive writing horridly improper for civil servants as well as ghost writing concerns -- one thing lacking completely. Human Concern. It's as if they forgot to bring their shared humanity to the table when local rot was shoved under their nose. The requisite qualities to be civil servants seemed totally absent, which forced us to ask the larger question. Who are they really? What came back was even more concerning. Read for yourself. Then you be the judge...

re: demand for church (may be now converted to a demand for vierra and acevedo due to lack of response)

Investigation 2 - The Conflated 8

In your second investigation you are going to learn about living on water from a well for "domestic use" (bathing, washing, cleaning ) as well as "potable" needs (for human consumption) . You are goign to learn about State and County regulations that probably never should have been adopted in teh first place that then took a wild turn around 2019 that started to blow the lid on decades of bad science and illogical regulations that can be deeemd a hoax in more ways than one. .

This system started to unravel in 2019 when a large group of peeople still not fully qunatified got a bad idea. They thought it was time to escalate one of the Hoaxes to include more unjust influence on the smaller systems too. By mid 2025 overzealous regulators tipped their hat something was coming, and now a "water war" is cresting the horizon and your just in time to stop it or watch it play out in a very bad way for those who have been dishonest for far too long.

What is revealed in this is 1) decades of flawed scientific systems foisted on the masses, seemingly for no reason other than control for the sake of control and 2) an attempted escalation of that system that went very wrong by 5 educated and knowledgeable supevisors and 3 environmental healthy bureau execs. When educated leaders all omit obvious optiosn and come to the wrong conclusion about an ordinance that really only has one answer -- conspiracy and collusion is really the only option to consider. Your job is to try to figure out who was driving it, who may have been along for the ride , and what should happen to all of them next.

PS - most of this is about systemic corruption, but there is an individual story of civil terror that may be covered that will leave most numb and hungry for change overnight.

For this investigation think of these wells as being holes in the ground with a 1.5-2" pipe going 180-220 feet into the ground an pump ont he bottom oof that about the size ofa large shoebox that pumpts water up the pipe when electricity is provided to the pump. The State delinates well and water system rules based on the "number of connections" (think number of homes) to the pipe that brnigs the water up as follows:

Private Wells/Water Systems* per Title 22
All of the systems below are generically "private well systems"
1 connection - it feeds one residencde and it's just called a "private well"
2-4 connections - is called a "local water system" but designated as "private well" for regulation too.
5-14 Connections - is called a "state small water system"but designated as "private well" for regulation too

*- There is no enforcable "potable" water requirment. The wells are intended for domestic use with no state or federal requirement to provide potable water to any connection. People can test their water and drink it direct if satisfied with qualty, they can filter it as appropriate for what's in their water, they can buy water from water kiosks or grocery stores. All as they see fit.

All was okay with this in Monterey County CA Until 2019 when Attorneys and Politicians did something went HORRIBLY WRONG in an unlawful manner

Public Well/Water Systems** per Title 22
All of the systems below are generically "public water systems"
15-200 connections - Public Water System (typically overseen by county)
200+ connections - Public water sysetm (typically overseen by the state)

**- There is an enforcable "potable" water requirment from State and Federal Statutes. But at what cost? Why would the state and federal government require people to purify 1000 drops of water when only 7 of those would be for consumption? Why not just let them choose what they'd like to do for their own drinking water needs too?

These systems have been marred in illogical compliance burden for decades. In 2019 they did something to "soften the burden" for wells out of complaince and they conflated that move with the smaller systems to unlawfull burden the smaller systems for reasons unclear at this time. The

Investigation 2 - The Conflated 8

In your second investigation you are going to do a deep dive into 5 Supervisors and 3 Environmental Healthy Bureau executives that all managed to overlook foundational water system law egregiously while coming to the horribly wrong answer simultaneously. When everyone cheats and gives the right answer it's impossible to prove cheating transpired. When they all get the wrong answer, it's impossible to imagine anything other than a secret pact. In fairness to some initially, the vested interest in parts of the county were not as high as North County and as of now it appears North County may be comparable to the NY Fed vs the rest, but that is yet to be confirmed. Thus some of the Supervisors my have felt their only option was to play along instead of blowing the whistle, but that is yet to be confirmed. This reveal is gross in both the Germany and American sense.

re : demand for 5 board of sups and 3 ehb execs (this is 2nd demand for church and 2nd for ehb --> then backwards to demand 1 for ehb? one of these sups wasn't in place in 2019 when it first passed -- and church wasn't either but he engaged in a lawsuit related that may have been for appearance of controlled opposition )
