Dear Editor,
Recently, Golden Valley fundraising guru Greg “Butch” Meriwether who is acting as a moderator for debates between candidates and is supposed to remain impartial submitted an article to several Mohave County news outlets regarding a defense of a supervisor candidate Jennifer Esposito and also decided to publicly attack Supervisor Jean Bishop following in the footsteps of Esposito.
This public support in defense of a candidate makes the reader wonder if anything nefarious is going on in the electoral process, seeing as the “moderator” is obviously playing favorites and appears to be “white knighting” a helpless damsel in distress (who isn’t so helpless) which is very noble of him. However, it appears to be another witch hunt and an Animal Farm “Napoleon vs snowball” effect and perhaps an interference with the process of an election.
This defense is towards a person who wreaked havoc on Quartzsite some years ago and is now doing the same in Mohave County. She was accused on October 3, 2012 of allegedly stealing from Patricia Workman, a client/attorney confidential document to publicly disseminate. And on April 25, 2013 was ousted from the planning and zoning commission.
Esposito often points out how much money the county has spent; however, I wonder how many thousands of taxpayer dollars have been spent on legal defense of Esposito’s assumptions and accusations on her judicial fishing expeditions.
I suspect the amount tax payers had to pay would be half a million bucks, maybe more. Talk about waste of tax dollars! How much money has Jennifer, Jade, Jones, Marie, Sue, Harris, Esposito cost this county? I hate to think about how much more money Esposito will cost this county should she sit in a supervisor seat.
It is of my “opinion” that (according to his LinkedIn account) “Private investigator” Greg Meriwether need not participate in any more moderator jobs regarding these 2024 elections because of his biased opinions.
