Charlie's Angels - the RINO's
Posted by Aaron Park on September 02, 2008 at 04:34 PM
Joanne Neft and Emil John Vodonick. Now, I refer to Emil as the crooked attorney… the Auburn Journal and it’s soft-on-crime editor whitewashed Emil’s $53,000 financial misdeed as “forgetting to pay a fee for a client”. If only Sarah Palin’s daughter was so lucky… I digress as the “businessman”-turned-editor of the Auburn Journal (now there’s something worth focusing on) is also one of Charlie’s Angels as well.
Emil John Vodonick has been quite open in his disdain for both John Doolittle and now for Tom McClintock. He is reported to have told Nevada County GOP volunteers, “I hate McClintock’s guts”. I guess Vodonick has a kindred spirit in Neft.
The amazing thing is that noted liberal Republicans like the Holmes Brothers (Jim, Placer County Supervisor and Auburn Councilmember Mike) are on board with McClintock.
Let’s take a second look at the leader of Republicans for Brown:
Who is Joanne Neft?
Joanne Neft purports to be a lifelong Republican. She is purported to be a close associate of Liberal Republican Supervisor Robert Weygant. (Weygant is staying nice and quiet even though he is rumored to be supporting Montgomery for Supervisor)
Joanne Neft has never given a dime to the Placer County Republican Party in the entire time I have been involved with it. (She may have bought a ticket to one Lincoln Day dinner)
Neft wrote Liberal Democrat Jennifer Montgomery a $1500 check, as reported on Montgomery’s 6/30 form 460.
Neft wrote Charlie Brown a check for $1,627 in 2006.
Now Republican Joanne Neft is up to her old tricks. After supporting and lending her name to the attempted recall of two Republican members of Sierra College’s Board of Trustees – she is a “leader” in the Save Sierra College effort to elect Liberal Democrat activists + “Emil the Lawyer” to that board.
In 2002, Neft was part of the Placer County Republican Congress slate of Liberal Republicans that formed to attempt the takeover of the Central Committee. They were also active in supporting John Doolittle’s primary opponent, Bill Kirby. This was pre-Abramoff – Doolittle won with 78% of the vote.
Neft is involved with the Sierra Club and like organizations.
In 2002, Neft authored the John Doolittle coloring book – that may have been a violation of Campaign Finance Laws, but nevertheless was replete with attacks against John for supporting Hunters, Gun Rights, Development and Tax Cuts.
In 2006, Neft was part of Now-Democrat former Congressman Pete McCloskey’s effort to weaken John Doolittle in the primary called “Revolt of the Elders”. Again, their mailer was replete with Environmentalist attacks.
Neft has never endorsed or supported Bruce Kranz, she supported Liberal Democrat Rex Bloomfield.
Neft has never endorsed or supported Ted Gaines in the time I have been active.
Neft is a fraud, Vodonick is a fraud. The only thing that could round out Charlie’s Angels properly is a Communist.
The Crooked Attorney
The Disgruntled General
The Surrender / Gay Rights Activist
The Congresswoman who buys stock, then votes to subsidize that company
The Drug Dealer
The RINO’s
The Luddites
... who’s next?
“Sure I could have joined the NRA or given up my ACLU membership. It may have appealed to some people here but that’s not who I am.” – Charlie Brown from a Blue America interview before getting endorsed again for 2008 election cycle.

Some District 5 residents may remember that starting in 2002 I spent almost 4 years with the help of an amazing coalition of neighbors, teachers, local clergy, MAC members, firefighters, business owners, local water executives and other fine citizens trying to bring water into the Applegate area. This failed through no lack of trying but I never really got chance to thank you all of them before moving to Arizona. It failed because of a total lack of political will on the part of PCWA which runs in my view largely on its own steam. The only supervision, supposedly that exerted by its Board members, is totally ineffective.
Some of you may also remember that, as a seasoned Wall Street energy and project finance investment banker of 30 years, I had no trouble penetrating the mirrors of PCWA’s financial reporting. At that time three years ago their financial plight was quite strained. After a recent detailed review of their finances today, with the almost total disappearance since then of one time connection charges, it is in my view even more serious.
This is compounded by their mad dash to secure the license for the Middle Fork from PG&E. The current leadership of PCWA seeks, without a partner, to become a power company, a highly risky business, and in effect repeat the disastrous folly of the Bear Sterns supported lawsuit between PCWA and PG&E 25 years ago. Their financial position is such now that even I, normally viewed as somewhat creative financially, cannot imagine a means for them to extricate themselves from this situation.
Based on my financial projections based on PCWA’s own recent debt proformas. I believe these prove they will not be able to accept any reasonable offer to renegotiate the 2013 PG&E water contract – even if they wanted to. This is because of restrictive debt covenants in recent debt offerings which now involve Zone3/ District 5 water revenues being pledged to bondholders.
Your only hope is to effect change at the Board level. The present incumbent, Otis Wollan, is gloriously described in the company’s debt prospectuses as the most senior Board member being there for 20 years. You owe it to yourselves to figure this out for yourself.
The best way to do this is to get to know Ben Mavy whose ethics and community spirit will not disappoint.His web site is at www.benmavy.com
