There was a lot more going on behind California Highway Patrol boss Dwight "Spike" Helmick's announced exit last week than met the eye.

The truth is Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's people had been looking for months to get rid of Helmick, who had been in the job since then-Gov. Pete Wilson put him there in 1995.

Meanwhile: Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith has emerged as a leading contender to head the California Highway Patrol, now that Helmick is on the way out.




Interesting read….it’s politics as usual…the puppet is in the forefront with the little hitlers pulling the strings…..a Sheriff running the CHP??? This should be interesting…

2. The best part is that he was ousted

because he investigated a sexual harrassment charge against an Arnie favorite.

3. Yep….with this Gov….

Sexual harassment issues will take a step backward and it could be open season on women’s breasts….

Hmmmm….nevermind….:evilgrin:

Hi Peter,

Although there may be merits to the allegations, anything those two report loses all credibility with me.
