Volunteers sought for 2009-2010 Grand Jury
Volunteers are being sought for San Bernardino County's 2009-2010 Grand Jury. Applications are being accepted through April 17.
The Grand Jury is charged with the task of investigating all aspects of county government and reviewing criminal investigations tied to local government.
Last year's grand jury was one of the more effective in recent memory. Its scrutiny of former Assessor Bill Postmus ultimately led to his Feb. 13 resignation following allegations of drug abuse, cronysism and misuse of public office for partisan politics.
"I think this past grand jury did an excellent job of reviewing the issues brought before them. I hope the grand jury this following year is just as successful and aggressive," said Third District San Bernardino County Supervisor Neil Derry. "They serve an important role in providing legitimacy to our elected government."
Chosen applicants will serve from July 1 to June 30, 2010. They must serve an average of three to four business days a week and will be paid $25 a day, plus meals and mileage.
For information or an application, call (909) 381-2458. Applications can also be downloaded from the Grand Jury's Web page at www.sbcounty.gov/grandjury
