This is my story of a disheartening experience that sheds light on the sorry state of local television “journalism” in the North State.
I sued Butte County’s forever district attorney,Mike Ramsey, his equally non-transparent protégé, Sheriff Kory Honea, and, of course, the Chico Police Department for a pattern of unlawfully concealing records that belong, not to them, but to the public. These records would allow the public finally to learn about a handful of officer-involved shootings, including multiple killings – the most powerful use of government authority.
