THE WORKMANS COMP SYSTEM IS VERY BAD FOR INJURED WORKERS NOT ONLY DO YOU NOT
GET PAID IN AN ORDERLY FASHION SO YOU CAN KEEP YOUR BILLS PAID ITS ALMOST LIKE
YOU ARE BLACKBALLED BY OTHER EMPLOYEES WHEN YOU ARE ON A MODIFIED DUTY BECAUSE
YOU ARE INJURED AND THE MD WILL NOT RELIEVE YOU FROM WORK TOTALLY BUT YOU
CAN'T DO YOUR FULL DUTY SO THE OTHER EMPLOYEES FEEL YOU ARE NOT CARRYING YOUR
LOAD AND IT BECOMES A PROBLEM ALSO WHERE DO YOU FIND A LAWYER TO HELP YOU
SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK AT WHATS GOING ON IN WORKMANS COMP PERSONALLY I FEEL
LIKE I HAVE BEEN TREATED RUDELY FROM MY PEERS, MY SUPERVISORS, MY MD AND
ESPECIALLY MY ADJUSTER I NEED HELP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Comments:
My comments are regarding the Rodeo deputy services that are no longer
available to the homeowners and residents of Rodeo. We previously witnessed
the effects of this service being eliminated and it was clear that robberies
, and burglaries increased 3 fold. The residents of the area need the deputy
services and I feel very strongly that if the county budget is not able to
cover these costs, then the homeowners of Rodeo should be asked to pay for
this service. I think we really need to do something quickly.
Thank you
Barbara Ornelas

I live in Rodeo,CA and am part of the Viewpark Homeowners Association. I just
found out we no longer have a resident deputy as of 3/5/06, which is a scary.
situation knowing that crime will increase. We moved to Rodeo about two years
ago because we felt very safe in this community but now I wonder if we will
'continue to feel this way. Please bring back the resident deputy so that all
citizens of Rodeo get adequate and equal police protection.

I am very concerned that the county is proposing budget cuts that would
directly affect the health of children treated in the county's Medical Therapy
Units. The budget for these services was cut last year resulting in
substandard service delivery. I am concerned that any more cuts will result
in children being put on a waiting list to receive services and that this will
harm them. Not getting therapy will result in many of these children getting
contractures to their hands, arms, legs and feet. The result of this can be
that many will not learn to walk, feed themselves, learn how to chew or be
able to use their hands. Delaying therapy services will hamper their abilities
to become independent and they will need increased medical care throughout
their lives.
Not your problem? I believe that any cut to California Children's Services
will impact services to the kids, and that this is inhumane. Please don't do
it.

CI mments:
P No Longer Have Any Respect For the Pittsburg Police.
II am a 55-year-old single man. I used my life savings for the down payment to
buy a house in Pittburg five years ago. I have struggled for the last few
years to pay my mortgage, house bills and property tax. I work two jobs in ,San
Francisco, photo editor of two neighborhood newspapers and as a SF taxi
driver. I also have a minor heart condition which I am on medication for. On
the morning of March 17, 2006 the Pittsburg Police Narcotics Division raided
Ty house. I awoken after hearing loud thundering sounds. I ran to the front
door and found about a dozen police officers at my door smashing it in. They
told me they had a search warrant, pushed me on the floor and handcuffed me.
They banged in my roommate's door and arrested him. They then made me takemy
dogs outside and proceeded to ransack my house.
+ I have never been arrested. My roommate has never been arrested. What were
they looking for? The search warrant, which they finally showed me when they
left my home, says they were searching for methamphetamine and any
I
araphernalia related to it. While I waited outside an officer told me to
"tell them where the stuff is hidden, and they wouldn't mess up my place that
much. " I told him that there is nothing in my house. After a few hours they
left my house and warned me before I reenter that the place is different than
the way it was. That was an understatement. My whole house was trashed.
Everything in my bedroom was thrown either on the floor or on my bed - my bank
books, cameras, magazines, CDs, photographs, negatives, DVDs, driver's
license, business cards, etc. It took me twelve hours just to clean off my bed
and put things where they belonged. Every room in the house was like this. The
furniture was overturned in the living room. All the food was thrown all over
lin
the kitchen.
I am a taxpayer in this city. Why did this happen to me? I was told that
while I am at work in the city my roommate was having too many friends over
the house. There were too many cars coming to my.house. What did they find
'during the search? Absolutely nothing! At least not what they were looking
;for. They did find some old brass knuckles that my roommate's uncle gave him
sten years ago as a joke. They did not arrest him. They detained him for five
days trying to get him to give them information about drug dealers which he
i
I
did not have.
Is this the way the Pittsburg Police conducts business? I am the home owner.
They did not even know who I was when they arrived at my house. My whole house
in a complete mess. I still cannot find many items. I have doors broken, a
window broken and am still cleaning up after a week. I still have to pay my
property tax next month. I do not have extra money to make all the repairs the
police did to my house. I feel violated. I am upset. I did not deserve this.
Iiam angry and no longer have any respect for the police in this town.
