The Board of Supervisors denounced the grand jury for pointing out the legal conflicts of interest benefitting Pinizzotto and his former employer, the Ortner Management Group. Pinizzotto reports to the supervisors on the swell job his former employer is doing. Pinizzotto has used his position with the County to do special favors for Supervisor Hamburg.

Letters (Dec 30, 2014)

I am writing you to request contact information on the group of soccer players who witnessed Dan Saulsbury's murder. The DA did not keep Dan's body or give it to his mother, or even let her see him. They cremated his remains after the autopsy and I have not been able to even get that information.
