No more monkey business

Talk show villain and Kern Valley Healthcare District incumbent board candidate, went on his Friday talk show from QAB, this morning, Oct. 31, 2008, and used the show to launch his political platform while attacking all the other candidates.

Though Jamison said he "paid" for the time on the radio, he continued to play commercials during his weekly show. Conflict of interest came up as a topic relating to something else, but here we have it, Mr. Conflict of interest.

For instance, Mr. Conflict’s employer at the radio station also owns the ambulance company which serves the Kern Valley Healthcare District. He would tell you that he would not vote on anything regarding this contract. So, duh, on his poison position against other candidates.

Should this candidate be allowed to talk about district issues, reasons he should be re-elected, and still be ethical?

The FCC may not approve of his tactics and the elections department may become involved as well.

Mr. Jamison went on to even bring up issues of current employees, by name, at the hospital. That's potential lawsuit material. It also certainly must be illegal for a board member to attack an employee.

Unethical, irresponsible and desperate, are terms I would use here regarding this sordid business of utilizing a media outlet for his own needs, or festering anger.

Please pass this email along to all who will be voting this coming Tuesday. I will update you on anything which may occur as a result of Mr. Jamison's actions.

My hope is that all the other candidates are given a forum so that they may tell their side of the story. Jamison would not even allow callers, but did bring on one who "agreed" with the man.

It's a sad day when we cannot even have control over our local politicians who are here to serve us. But we do have a vote. Cast it carefully.

UPDATE: It seems that Mr. Jamison paid only $150 for an hour of air time. I think that is a deal and I hope the advertisers realize they could get such a bargain.

The FCC has been alerted that the radio station has once again, allowed their DJ/board member, to dominate the airwaves with his KVHD agenda.

And how is the ambulance business? Will the same owner let Jamison jump in an emergency vehicle, put on the sirens, and chase voters around the lake?
