Swindle of the Year. Privatization of County Mental Health steered by a former employee of the beneficiary, Ortner Management Group of Yuba City. The deal was engineered by that former employee, an oleaginous little fellow name Pinizzotto who has since been magically appointed to a boss position in what remains of the County Mental Health apparatus. 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.
