Isn't Crown Printers the Schorrett family's business? They seem to be doing very well indeed from Fred's political career.
Ah, shameless San Bernardino!
Dear Richard, It is not very nice to speak ill of another NSGW Brother especially when your point is not well taken. Spelling Fred's last name correctly would be a nice start. Crown Printers is locally owned and employees dozens of local folk which is more than can be said about Arnett who spends the Union's money on out-of-town consultants and printers. Arnett and his out-of-town consultant, Chris Jones, have not spent one dime in town and has little or no local support. 80 % of the police and firefighters live out-of-town and only care about their more than generous salaries, benefits, and that lavish retirement that the taxpayers of San Bernardino pay for. If anyone should be ashamed, it is you Brother Kimball. Remember, atonement comes before redemption.
Another Native Son Brother:
Isn't it against your spiffy little rules to say that your organization backs any political candidate? Your boy, Freddy, did just that a while back for his own race...
Personally, I don't care who his great, great grand pappy was. This guy is a bobble-head and he's a snob. He uses his affiliations with groups like yours to make himself seem important. Thanks for inflating the ego of a bobble-head!
